Both &srtco and Guatemala Are Pre-
pairing for the Worst.
CITY OF MEXICO, via Laredo, Jan. 81
There has been much discussion in refer
ence to the question of the proposed arbi-
tration by the United States, it having
been asserted that Guatemala was en-
deavoring to induce the United States to
insist on Mexico's arbitrating the matter.
To-day advices came from Washington
showing that the conduct of the Govern
ment there is entirely neutral and will con-
tinue so. 1t is reported that some kind of
definite announcement will be made by
Mexico.
Although matters are quiet tonight it
would not be surprising should it prove to
be a declaration of war. It's reported that
the Government is conscripting men in
different parts of the country.
GUATEMALA, Jan. 31.-Military prepara-
tions are being made here hurriedly. Spe-
cial ENJOYS are coming and going between
this city and other Central American re-
publics continually, which gives the opin-
ion that Barrios is playing for time and at
the same time doing all in his power to
form an alliance of countries against
Mexico

The Members of Neither House Like the
Measure.
WAsHfSeTos, Jan. 81 "A haze OF uncer-
tainty surrounds the fate of the admins
tration financial bill in the House next
week. Comparatively few members of
either party are satisfied with the measure
in its present form with the amendments
which have been added, and which, some
assert, have distorted it from the form of a
definite plan of policy.
There is no talk of caucus by either
party at this time, and the policy of each
seems to be every man for himself. Few
members of the Banking Committee are
pleased with the bill, and several amend
ments will be proposed by them in the
House.
The Rules Committee has not yet con-
sidered the matter of time. Doubtless the
bill will be the order for Monday and
Chairman Springer thinks that two days
will suffice for debate.

"Tbe Duke and the Ducats!" These and
similarly characteristic headlines have
eraced the columns Of American nswspa-
pers ever nee the engagement oi tbs

Vanderbilt was announced. Thus says a
writer in he St. James Budget. who
continues: She will be the only reign

wiseacres of the transatlantic press, but
what there is to be- 'reigned" over they
do not make clear. The late dukes

her ducal rights by marrying courtesy

be known in future as the duchess par

There are, of course, a dozen or
more uuchesses of American birth seat
tsred throughout the various states OF
Europe. Besides the ten or twelve Amer

title of princess, though princes are
numerous in Italy anu Russia, the two

THE LATEST STAMP FAD

There is a new wrinkle in the stam p
collecting line, and now advanced col
ectors' are following 1t with the keenest
zest. The advanced collectors ere those
who, plethoric of plcketbook. have filled
their albums chock full OF rarltes. So
perfect have their collections become,
even to their minu;est microscopical vari-
eties, that there is nothing more to ne

OF the engraving company and the num-

the same kinds OF stam;s are constantly
being manufactured. The result is that
the field or the collector is practically
exbaustless, an is constantly btii. ..dded

vanced specialist" in United States
stamps is the chief beau Y OF the whole
thing.

ore on the surface and shipped enough
to prove its quality. They then let a
lease to a couple of miners who run a
tunnel in about $50 feet and struck the
vein under the surface workings at a
a depth of about 200 feet, finding it
comparatively barren and of course
threw up the lease pronouncing the
strike on the surface a pocket. The
owners came to the conclusion after
further prospecting that the chimney
took a curse at quite an angle and de-
termined to run another tunnel of $50
or 26O feet rather than drift Oh the vein
in hard, tlinty quartz. They struck
the vein again according to calculation
of the dip of the ore and found a big
body of quartz carrying high grade
sulphides and brittle silver. They cal
culate that they haye 200 feet of stop
ing ground above them on the chimney
which is liable to give them a little
!, wealth should it prove continuous.
Their previous shipment averaged over
800. ounces silver and some gold. This
strike is of great Importance to the
camp if on development it settles the
fact that the strikes that have occur

Another great bear killing was made
on the north branch of the Palomas
river above Welty's ranch. about where
Uncle Ben Peers killed bis large grlz-
ely last month. The Curtis brothers
and Mr.. Whitaker went up there to
see if they could not find the bears
that escaped from Mr.. Peers, and Mr..
Curtis after shooting a fine deer heard
a moaning in the brush and finally saw
two bear cubs start out and make for a
cave IN the side of the canyon. He
went to camp for his brother, Mr.. Whit
tiker and the dogs and the three re-
turned to the caYe to get the bears out.
They sent the dogs into the cave when
Mr.. Curtis got sight of one Of the
bears and shot into the cave at it,
when with yells, growing and barking
the cave seemed to belch forth bears
and dogs in promiscuous conglomer-
alton, in fact it seemed as if the cave
had suddenly become the center Of a
volcanic eruption with bears and dogs
for the red-hot, smoking lava; the
bears were hot enough too and made 1t
exceedingly warm for their hunters,
but the victory was gained by Win
chesters, the bullets proving more eff
fectual than teeth and claws. One Of
bears. a huge she grizzly, had to be pre-
sented with above a dozen bullets be-
fore she thought she had enough to go
to the happy hunting grounds of bear
dom where men and Winchesters are
not and the fatted calf abounds. The
result of the hunt was three bears
pelts and two deer; and although the
she bears skin on the inside looks as
though it was punctured for a raw
hide cullender, yet the fur is so fine
