Come to Time.

City Of Mexico, Jan 22.-After a very
stormy cabinet meeting last night Presi-
dent DiaZ notified Guatemala through its
minister that he would not concede one
iota. Guatemala would have to give in to
MeXico's demands or suffer the consequent
ces Other Central American representa-
tiyes here at a meeting made a statement
to President DiaZ that they understood
Mexico was trying to grasp Central Amer
lean territory. DiaZ denied the assertion
and stated that Mexico would have her
rights and the boundary lines should be
as Mexico claims, and Mexico had all the
territory she needed. 1t looks as if other
Central American republics were behind
Guatemala. All the government students
are marching in the streets With bands
shouting Viva Mexico, Viva Diaz,' and
ION TO Guatemala" There are now in
front of the palace 900 or $4,000 people,
clamoring for and pedging their sup
port to the president.
Mexico has been preparing for war some
time, and has about 12,0N troops on the

SENSATIONAL REsCRIPT.

Foreign newspapers of Shanghai CON
tain ti'anslatiOns of an alleged imperial
rescTipt, SO extraordinary in character
that its authenticity is scarcely credit
ed, although it appears to have been
given publicity through regular chan
nels. Its tone and purport may be
judged from the following extract:
THE Japanese have gained victory
after victory and despoiIed our terri
tory, until our august ancestors in their
sacred graves are disturbed. This is
because we who rule the empire are un-
worthy and deficient in virtue and have
entrusted the defense of the state to
unfit servants If however, it is our
destiny to suffer the worst evils and
to witness the defilement and destruc-
ton of reyerned affairs there remains
nothing but for US to perish"
1t is rumorod that this edict was
privately circulated in the palace De
cember last and became known to
the outer world through treachery. But

ument needs no further attestation
