Guatemala Has Rejected the Claims OF
Me1ico.
MEXICO CITY, Jan. 19.-Don Emilio de
Leon, Guatemalan Minister to Mexico, was
seen at the National Palace to-day emery
ing from conference with the Mexican
Minister on Foreign Relations, and he
positively denied that diplomatic negotla-
tons had come to an end over the inter-
national boundary dispute. He referred
the correspondent to the article in Ell
Nacional of to-day, which says the Guate-
malan envoy is given full power to act IN
all the departments of the case and settle
it according to the instructions which he
bears. The Universal, counted the SEMI
official paper of the Mexican Government,
contains confirmation that Guatemala has
rejected Mexico's claims. These claims,
which are considered Mexico's ultimatum,
are about as follows:
First-Full satisfaction from Guatemala
for the invasion of Mexican territory and
the destruction by armed Guatemalan Of
ficers of logging camps belonging to Mexl-
can citizens and Americans.
Second = Indemnity for damage done
on said invasion.
hird-Remuneration in full to Mexico
for expense incurred by this country in
sending armed forces to the Guatemalan
frontier and their maintenance at the pres
ent time there.
Fourth-Speedy conclusion of bound
airy survey between Mexico and Guate-
mala, as provided for in the treaty of 1882.
The war feeling here runs very high.

IN 4 DYING CONFESSION.

Years Before.

Il Wontdsa Tells of Killing Man TtCeIve
Years Before.
MIFFLIN, Ind, Jan. 19-Twelve years ago
Jacob Wintermeyer, a horse and cattle
dealer, was found dead on the railway
track about nine miles west of this place,
but not until several hours after train
had passed, so that it was difficult to say
whether the train had killed him or not.
Suspicion of murder was aroused by the
fact that skull wounds as if by an ak were
plainly discernible, but no one was sus-
pected, and the matter was almost for
gotten.
Mrs. Coates, widow, died last night and
in deathbed confession raised the curtain
of mystery from the whole affair Mrs.
Coates story is that she and Wintermeyer
started to dance and were walking along
the railway when Wintermeyer made I'M
warrantable proposals to her, whereupon
she started to return home, but he laid
hold of her to detain her.
In the struggle which ensued Winter
meyer tripped and fell striking his head
upon a stone. Before he could recover she
seized an ak which some tiemakers had
left at that place and struck him with it.
Ohe mOlnent IeHeCGIOn presented Inc
enormity of the crime to her and she
dragged the body to the track only a few
yards distant and laid it upon the rails.
From the time it was left there until it
was found four freight trains and one pas
senger passed, mangling it almost beyond
recognition.
Mrs. Coates at the time of the unfor-
tunate affair was aged % and widow for
nearly two years. She never remarked
nor kept company, nor entered society af-
terward, but she was never suspected of
the crime which she confessed. ,

REILLY SCORES ONE.

A PROTEST. NOT Needed.
Mcguire and Caminetti We're Heard

NEW MOVE BY THE UNION PACIFIC.
The Attorney for the BOndholders Says
the Action Was Not Taken With
Any Interior Purpose.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The Committee
on Rules has practically decided to set
January % and 80 for the consideration of
Reilly's Pacific funding bill. Reilly says
there will positively be no changes in the
bill when it is brought before the House.
The committee is averse to making any of
the notifications asked for by the Union
Pacific.
The New York World this morning
comes out in an editorial favoring fore
closure and the operation of the Union and
Central Pacific railroads as Government
toll roads. The New York Herald is also
supporting this plan.
Representatives Caminetti and Mcguire
appeared before the Committee on Rules
to-day and protested against granting a
rule to the Committee on Pacific Railroads
to bring up the funding bill. They were
given to understand that the committee
would be given the 10Th and 30th. The
California members are doing all in their
power, but the pressure is great
at comes from as strong a combination
as ever was organized to plumber the peo-
ple,' said Caminetti to The CALL corre-
spondent tonight.
Congressman Herman of Oregon says
he can't see his way clear to vote for fore
closure, and has not made up his mind
whether or not to vote for Reilly's bill.

UNION PACIFIC RECEIVERSHIP.
attorney Pierce Says 1t Is Not a Plot to
Beat the Government.

ST.. LOUIS, Jan. 19.-Before Judge Walter
H. Sanborn, in the United States Circuit
Court to-day, Attorney Winslow Pierce
and R. A. Hall, representing Gordon Dex-
ter and Oliver Ames, second trustees for
the first-mortgage bondholders of the
Union Pacific Railway Company, filed a
bill of complaint setting forth that the in
terest on $27, 600 frst-mortgage bonds
had been defaulted on January l, 1895, and
asked the foreclosure of the mortgage and
the appointment of separate receivers for
that division covered by the mortgage,
known as the main line. The court took
the matter under advisement and will rem
der decision probably the first of next
week.
Prior to bringing in tina bill of complaint
Pierce stated that the matter of asking
an order of force osure and the appoint
ment of receivers was purely one OF form.
He said that it was being done on all of
the Union Pacific lines when the interest
defaulted, and denied that it was done for
the purpose of stirring up Congress. He
said the frst-mortgage bondholders
wanted protection and were taking the
customary course. He further stated that
the present receivers, known as the Ames
receivers, would doubtless be reappointed.
Pierce said that so many limbs have been
Topped off the Union Pacific system under
the present receivership that it has been
pretty well stripped. The new receiver
ship, if directed, will take the place of the
old receiverships on all lines affected by
the first mortgage.
Foreclosure suits similar to this have
been instituted in the case of the Oregon
Short Line, the Utah Southern, Utah
Northern and in fact in many places on the
system where the coupons are in default.
The same procedure follow everywhere on
the system.
United States Circuit Judge Caldwell, in
conversation with a reporter, made sug-
gestion in regard to the case. He said:
~ am not speaking as Judge nor as a
lawyer, but if l were a politician in Con-
gress would propose scheme which, if it
could be made to pass the Senate, would
settle the matter. l would introduce a
bill to have the Government buy up the
first mortgage and run the road"
