War Clouds in Central America

Denver, Colo, Aug. H.-Arthur Saw
age, the inventor Of the Savage re-
peating rifle. who has just arrived from
Mexico. said In an interview today:
Mexico is engaged in a destructive
war with the Yucatan Indians, and
hostilities will be pushed with the ut
most vigor. The Yucatan tribe has
never been subdued by white men.
and the chances are that the conflict
will precipitate war between Mexico
and Guatemala. The boundary line be-
tween the two countries has never
been satisfactorily settled, and in the
course of the impending conflict 1t is
prophesied that the two republics will
be brought in martial array against
each other.

RAMPANT ANARCHISTS
Celebrate the Murder Of Canovas
del Castillo.
POLICE VIGOROUSLY DENOUNCED

Emma Goldman Declares That the
Guardians OF the Peace Are Too
Lazy to Go to Work in the Facto-
ries-Her Utterances Cheered.
New York, Aug. 1.-THE group Of an
archists who make their headquarters
In this city held meeting last night at
Clarendon Hall, "to celebrate the death
Of the leading despot Of Spain, Cano-
vas del Castillo. executed by the an
archist, Michael Angelo Golli." The
speakers were Emma Goldman, 8. Pal
lavecini, P. Estere, Charles w. Now
bray. Aleardo A. Moscoso, H. NJ. Kelly.
Arrange Quintano and few others
less notorious, whose names were not
announced.
H. M. Kelly presided. 1--WE are here
tonight" said Kelly, ito celebrate the
removal from the world of tears of a
despot Why should we not celebrate
his death? We are glad that the lead
Ing despot of Spain is dead. He will
no longer torture human beings. II
that opinion be a crime then I must be
placed in the category Of criminals.
We agree with the act. 1t will reduce
despotism In Spain. We are candid
enough to say to the world that we
are glad he is gone. May his like never
be seen again. To the powers that be.
we say there Is judgment day."
Emma Goldman next made her ap-
pearance, carrying with her pictures of
the anarchists, Cesario and Pallas.
Among other things she said:
I'VE can't be sorry for the death of
man who was not a human being,
but beast. He invented most hor-
rible tortures for the poor people. I
glorify his end. Another tyrant will
take his place, and another Coli will
rise up. Tortures and prison will not
prevent 1t. I see all the police and de-
tectives here. They are too lazy to go to
work in factories. 1t is easier for them
to stand on street corners and let their
clubs fall on some ones head. The
death of Canovas l consider the most
important act Of the last 20 years.
am sure that Coli will not be the last
man to show the world that we are
tired of despotism."
Frequently while Miss Goldman was
speaking there was loud cheering, fol-
lowed by cries of Bravo, Bravo"
Anarchist Moscoso described the way
prisoners are tortured in Spanish dun
geons, and Pallavecini, in Italian, de-
nounced the police
There was large force Of uniformed
policemen and detectives at the meet
ing, which was a crowded one.
