boasts of a well-organized military sys-
tenn. In her statistical reports she claims
a standing army of 1000 men and an
emergency force of 5000, not counting
1900 unarmed zapadores. for the con-
struction of defensive works. Each regi-
ment has a company of cavalry, number
ing 1900 in all. Cavalry is something of a
nuisance in n country SO poor in roads.
This is also true of artillery, nevertheless
tho government claims to possess 200
Krupp and Hotchkiss field guns. Every
man between 10 and 40 years of age is
nominally in the army and drills six
months out of every two years; but IL is
we'll known that all who can pay for the
immunity BUY themselves free from the
nuisance. The reports state total of 4S2
chief officers and 1926 subordinate OIL
GERS. Prospero Moralez Tovas is senior
marshallIng general of the army, as we'll
as minister of war and vice president of
the republic. His military education was
acquired abroad. Daniel Morroguin is
commandant of the main department of
war and chief of the general staff, Greg
orio Solares is major general of the army
and Major Ramon Saravia is in command
of the regiment of artillery.
All this looks well on paper. But a
photograph recently taken of a typical
military company stationed near tho
scene of the possible war shows many
boys carrying guns conspicuously taller
than themselves. Prominent local mer-
chants who have interests in Guatemala,
and who from long residence in the
country claim n thorough acquaintance
with it's condition, laugh at the formid-
able military reports. These knowing
ones who, as we'll as being thoroughly con-
versant with the facts are, as aliens, likely
TO be impartial in their judgment, shrug
their shoulders with the remark that

ciently tempered by modern common
sense TO avoid such thing as a real live

From the Charleston News and Courier.
The reports which We publish TODAY from
nearly all the counties in the state, as to
the probable acreage devoted to cotton
growing this year. give a fair view Of the
situation. 1t Is generally stated that there
will be reduction in the acreage devoted
to cotton. The estimates vary widely. In
some counties 1t will probably amount to
20 per cent, in others the reduction will
not exceed 10 per cent; 25 per cent would
probably be fair estimate for the state at
large.
But. whatever the reduction In the acre
age it is certain that there will be a large
decrease in production. The reports from
all the counties agree that there will be a
large reduction in the use of commercial
fertilizers. In Aiken county, for example.
it Is reported that there will be a reduc-
ton of % per cent in acreage and 50 per
cent in the use of fertilizers; in Anderson
county, 16 per cent less cotton will be
planted and 20 per cent less fertilizers will
be used; in Newberry county there will be
% per cent less cotton planted and 40 per
cent less fertilizers used. In Kershaw
county IL Is reported that there will be a
slight increase in cotton acreage and a
greatly decreased production of cotton be-
cause Of the falling off in the use of fer
tilizers. The situation Is not as encourage
ing as it might be. But the weather has
been so unfayorable that planting opera
tons have been greatly retarded and the
prospects will doubtless improve.

Another East River Bridge.

The bill providing for a second bridge
across the East river at New York prom
lses to have an easy course through the
legislature. Mayor Schieren is an earnest
advocate of a second bridge, and he has
enlisted the active support of Mayor Strong
and his administration also. In existing
conditions such bridge. which will prac-
tioally duplicate the present Brooklyn
fridge. ought to be built for sum not
exceeding $10,OOO.OOO., By the pending bill
the cost is to be borne equally by the two
cities, although in the case of the struc-
ture now in use Brooklyn assumed two
thirds Of the burden. An equal division Of
the cost of the second bridge is not inequit-
able. however, particularly as the two
cities are in a fair way soon to become one
There is only single obstacle in the way
of a bridge from Grand street, New York
to Broadway, Brooklyn, and that does not
premise to be formidable.

For some months there has been trouble
among the men employed on the railway
construction work near the springs. they
being made up of foreign-born and native
citizens.
Two or three weeks ago there was a row
which, for time, threatened bloodshed,
but which was finally Quelled by the Of
ficers without the loss Of life.
After supper Thursday night two men
got into a quarrel about some trivial mat
ter and in no manner connected with the
past trouble.
They drew pistols and before they could
be restrained fired several shots at each
other, both being fatally wounded.
The encounter drew together all the men
in the camp, and when the disputants fell
on the ground the pent-up excitement
burst, precipitating a riot. the men fight
ing each other like tigers. Shot after shot
was fired. and knives, clubs and stones
were used.
Deputy United States Marshal Proctor
hast led to the scene and ordered the men
to disperSe. He was attacked by three or
four persons, and in self defense was COM
PEELED to kill two of his assailants. He was
wounded seriously, but his action stopped
the fight, and prevented further bloodshed
Several arrests were made, but a good
many Of those who engaged in the fight
escaped.

HI S INCOME IA X
The President Makes Out His Return and
Sends It In.
His SALARY Included ms Well ms His
Income From All Other
Sources.

Notwithstanding the disagreeable state
of the weather, President Cleveland came
into town this morning at 10 o'clock and
spent the entire day at the White House
The main. object, of his visit to the city
t6 day was to make return Of his per-
sonal income. in accordance with the
statute on that subject. Mr.. Miller, COM
missioner of internal revenue, called on the
President by agreement, and assisted him
in filling cut the personal income blank.
When completed it was delivered to Com
missioner Miller, and was carefully filed in
the vaults of the internal revenue bureau,
safe and secure from all prying eyes.
Mr.. Miller refuses to say anything on the
subject, and will not even admit that the
fresident has made his return. He says
that the law explicitly forbids those IN
charge of its execution from giving out
any information in regard to incomes, and
he proposes to see that the prohibition is
strictly observed. Although not admitted,
1t is understood that the President in
cluded his full salary of $4,000 as chief
executive In his return, leaving 1t for
the accounting officers of the treasury to
determine in the future whether payment
of the per cent upon 1t Is in violation of
the constitutional provision which says
that the salary of the President shall not
be increased or diminished during his term
Of Office. The tax on an income of $5O.OOu
is 500.
"neh tne INK II fayaDIe.
The tax for 1894 is not payable until
July 1 next. so that there is ample time to
determine the Presidents constitutional
rights in the matter. His making return
in this city instead of to the collector OF
the district where he claims his legal resi-
dence is held to be of no special signifi-
canoe. Its correctness will be verified by
the collector where the income Is derived,
except in the case of his official salary.
1t Is said at the internal revenue bureau
that collectors have been instructed to
keep their offices open from to pm for
the reception of returns. and that it Is
probable that the collectors will receive re-
turns up to midnight Of Monday. At any
rate. the penalties against delinquents
will not begin to run until the stroke Of Il
o'clock Monday night. provided the col
lectors are willing to receive them after G
O'Clock. when under present rules they

Dispute in New York as to Leasing
Pier No. 40.
DOCK BOARDS PRESIDENTS CHARGES
He Says That the City Has Lost
$500. 900.
THE PERMIT Is REVOKED

NEW YORK. April 13.-City Chamberlain
O'Donohue was asked today for his version
of the leasing Of Pier 40. which transaction
President O'Brien of the dock board has
been quoted as saying had resulted in a
loss of $JU.OOO to the city. Mr.. ODonohue
said he desired to begin by remarking that
stree he had been chamberlain of the city
he had discovered that the city had come
nearer to getting one hundred cents on
the dollar for its property than he had
ever been able to do in business. He de-
clared that Commissioner OBrien was
81 eatly mistaken in his charges, and that
he had made them without a full knowl-
edge of the facts, which were exceedingly
simple.
Mr.. O'Donohue thought that Mr. O'Brien
should have made a closer investigation of
the circumstances surrounding the lease Of
the pier to the New Jersey Steamboat
Company before he published the charges.
The New Jersey Steamboat Company of
which he (Mr. O'Donohuel was q director.
had leased from the city the pier at a rent
al OF $2O.0OO. and besides that he had leas-
ed from the Kingsland estate the adjoining
bulkhead at an annual rental of $1SOOO
For these two pieces OF property the Nor
wfch and New York Transportation Com
pany had paid his company an annual
rental of $4,000. The company therefore
did mo not receive any more for bier 40 than
IL palu 10 the city
The dock commissioners held an open
meeting today. at which resolution was
adopted revok:ng the permission given the
New Jersey Steamboat Company to use and
occupy old pier 40, North river. The de-
partment proposes to dismiss within
short time a majority Of the 221 dock la
borers and 40 laborers now in its employ.
President OBrien Of the board said that
for the present he had nothing to add to
his original statement, and that he had no
reason to change 1t.
The president of the Norwich line, sub
lessee of pier 49, made the board an OFFER
which was accepted. of a yearly rental. of
S3S,OW for the dock privileges. for which
100000 per annum has been paid by the
New Jersey Steamboat Company.
