ELECTION IN GUATEMALA.
Cabrera Chosen by an Almost Unani-
nous Vote.

Minister Hunter telegraphs the State De-
partment from Guatemala under date of
yesterday. as follows:
THE election for president of Guatemala,
held during the first seven days during
September, resulted in the election OF the
present incumbent, Manuel Estrada Cab
rera, by the largest majority ever given
presidential candidate in this republic. Two
candidates were voted for Cabrera and
Castillo, both liberals. Three hundred and
sixteen thousand five hundred votes were
cast. OF this unprecedented large number
Cabrera received 315,936 and Castillo 5G4.
Peace, good order and an untramneled ex-
ercise of the election franchise marked the
entire election. The national assembly
meets on the 18th instant to declare the re-
suit and the inauguration takes place on
the 22d
The new president is forty-one years of
age, statesman of broad, comprehensive
views. possessed of rare ability and attain
menIS and was for many years minister of
justice in the cabinet of his Predecessor.
lie assumed the executive functions of the
government April s last as The constiIu-
uonal successor of Barrios, who was as
sassinated, and enjoys the distinction of be-
ing the first president taken from civil life
since Don Mariana Calves, in 1889. All
since then have been military chiefs. Ca
brera's election means peace and prosperity
to the country and able, honest and
stable government. HUNTER"
This appears to settle the report of riot
and bloodshed in Guatemala by an incom-
ing steamer, as Minister Hunter brings
events up to yesterday.

DEWEY HAS NOT ASKED AIC
Merely Wants Authority to Buy Some Fresh
Beef
Dangers of the Situation in Philiu-
pines Believed to Have Been
Exaggerated.

The officials at the War and Navy De-
partments profess to feel more confidence
than they have heretofore expressed re-
garding the present situation in the Philip
pine Islands. In spite Of all the disquiet-
ing reports that have come of late from
newspaper sources indicating the existence
of critically strained relations between the
insurgents and the American forces of oc-
cLpation, it is a fact that for three days
PAST no word came to the State, Navy or
War Department from Manila until this
morning. That was a message from Ad-
miral Dewey asking authority from the de-
partmentaI officers to purchase some fresh
beef which would afford him supply for
three months. The admiral made no men
ton of any disturbance, whence it is in
ferred that the dangers of the situation
have perhaps been exaggerated at this dis
tant point
One reason for the confidence felt by the
War Department officials in a peaceable So
luton of the difficulties Is their knowledge
OF the peculiar fitness of General Otis, the
American military commander for the dis
Charge of just such duties-dipomatic as
we'll as military-as now confront him. He
distinguished himself in the closing days
of the civil war and afterward by the tact
moderation and discretion exhibited by him
in adjusting the many delicate questions
arising in the efforts to reconstruct the
southern states. Therefore the officials are
confident that if by discretion and Judgment
a clash with the insurgents can be avoided
without losing any of our advantage Cen
eral Otis may be safely relied on to eX-
hibit these qualities.
Not much Importance IS attached here
to the vainglorius Spanish report OF the
destruction by Spanish gunboats Of an in
surgent fleet which attempted to make a
landing on the Visayas Islands. General
Otis has informed the War Department
that the insurgent navy consisted of three
small coasting vessels carrying aggre-
known that the Spanish government had
where among the many islands of the
Philippine group. These irsurEent vessels,
by the way, started from Manila before
the signing of the protocol at a time when
there was unquestionab1y at least a tacit
co operation between the American forces
and tho insurgents. Now. however, the sit
uatfon has changed. The military authon-
ties here after a careful consideration of
the question have concluded that 1t Is in
cumbent upon them to compel the insur-
gents to an observance of the suspension
of hostilities agreed upon between the
United States and Spain, at least in cases
Ike that in the vicinity Of Manila, where
by the action of the United States forces
naval and military, the residents had been
deprived of the protection of ths Spanish
military ard naval forces. 1t is stated au-
thoritatively that General OTIS has been
gwen plenary powers to deal with this
matter, although, as already stated it is
hoped and expected that he will be able
to prevent an absolute hostile clash.

COMMISSIONS WEAKNESS
Without Power to Compel Witnesses to Tes-
tify.
Army Officers Would, 1t is Claimed.
Decline to Give Damaging
Testimony.

The difficulty which is being experienced
IN the construction of the proposed COM
mission for the investigatiorrof the conduct
or the staff branches of the army during
the war with Spain has excited some dis
cussion in military circles as to the possi-
bh:ty of the practical failure of an inyes-
ugation by commission. 1t develops that
there is a decided disapproval among army
officers of the proposition to have the con-
duct of the war investigated by a civil
commission, which cannot be clothed with
any judicial authority. The objection IS
not on account OF any prejudice against
civil authorities interfering in military mat
ters. but is due to the fact that testimony
before commission not possessing judicial
authority would be in manner voluntary
ana would it is said, put officers in the
attitude OF gratuitously giving testimony
which might be damaging to individuals
or TO the administration of the War De-
partment.
Some of the officers point out that injury
is liable to result to the army If they give
testimony when there is no power to com
pei them to testify. They say that it would
De no trouble to get all the information
there is concerning the campaign at SAN
taso, the manasen ent of the war through
the department and the operations of the
hedlcai, the quartermasters and the COM
miSSaTy departments if q tribunal or board
were organized with authority to compel
testimony; but that officers will not leon
ard!ze their own interests nor put them
selves in the attitude of being voluntary in
formers when the composition of the COM
mission making the inquiry is not such as
to make Ii compulsory upon them 10 tell
what they may know
Ihey say it will be impossible cor a COM
MISSION not having the power TO compel
testimony to get at the facts. Most Off
GERS, they say, will make it a point of hon
Or as wen as matter of self-interest to
Ceclne 10 give testimony of any import
ance unless compelled TO. If the commits
sion could compel testimony an officer Civ
ing testimony which might be damaging
would have the excuse that he had no
choice but to tell what he knew. In the ab-
sence of authority TO compel testimony the
witness would have a right to conceal or
to decline to disclose any facts in his pos
session, and if he gave testimony damag-
ing to any one it might be assumed that
he did this gratuitousy and was bringing
reproach upon the army when he was un-
der no compulsiou to do so. This, it is
said, will undoubtedly have the effect of
preventing some witnesses from giving
testimony Of damaging character before
the commission.

LONDON, September 13.-Mr. George J.
Gould of New York. who sails for home to-

business outlook could not be better, and
with the splendid harvest they Will have to

This naturally will have beneficial effect

Touching on politics. Mr. Gould said:
believe the Philippine question will be
peacefully settled to the satisfaction of the
American people; but have given it little or
no thought"
Referring to the challenge of Sir Thomas
Upton, Mr.. Gould remarked:

uon with the Americas cup challenge. l

nave read in the newspapers. But I may

THE WAR TAXES.
Indications That They VIII Be Re-
tanned for Some Time.

All indications point to the retention for
a considerable length of time of large
proportion of the internal taxes imposed
by the war revenue bill. Senators and rep
resentatives in Congress who assisted in
framing the law, and who will be called
upon to pass upon the subject of the reten-
ton of its provisions, are inclined to the
belief that the time is not near for gen.
eral repeal of the act.
Representative Steele of Indiana, men,
Der of the committee on ways and means,
in an interview with Star reporter, said:
Some of the heaviest revenue-producing
sections of the law will have to, be con-
tinued in force for some time to come. We
are on the verge of increased expenditures
for the army and navy, and money will
have to be provided.
There is no doubt in my mind that We
will have to build a larger navy. 1 am
gratified to find that the people of the in
terror of the country-of Indiana in par
ticular-are just eager for an adequate
navy as the residents of the seacoast COM
munitieS.
Senator Allison of the committee on
finance is quoted as expressing the opinion
that the main features of the war revenue
law will never be stricken from the statute
books. He thinks that much of the rev.
enue of the future must come from internal
taxation.

TUMULT In SENATE
Shouts and Threats From the Spanish
Lawmakers.
D'ALMENAS CAUSES AN OUTBREAK
His Second Denunciation Includes
General linares.
p RISONERS SET FREE

MADRID, September 13.-There was an
other uproarious session of the senate to-
day.
Count dAlmenas, referring to his state
nent yesterday giving the names of the
generals he recently said ought to have
their sashes tied around their necks in
stead of around their waists, naming Wey-
Ter, Blanco and Prime de Rivera. after
which he also included Admiral Cervera in
the category, said General Linares was
also incompetent and ought to be ar
raigned.
Thereupon General Weyler and others
loudly protested against these charges, and
General Weyler called on Count d Amenas
to name those generals who We're accused OF
falling to do their duty, and, he added, if
the accusations We're true and the culprits
could not be legally punished, the generals
would take the matter in their own hands
and infiict proper punishment.
A great tumult ensued, the senator's
standing, shouting and threatening each
other. The president of the senate vainiy
strove to restore order and broke his bell
iE attempting to do so.

PINE TREE STATE ELECTION
Representative Overstreet Quite Satisfied
With the Result
No Effort Made to Get Out a Full
Vote There or in Ver-
mont.

''The results of the Maine elections are
quite satisfactory said Representative
OVerstreet secretary of the republican
congressional committee, to Star re-
porter today. 1T was a foregone concld-
sion that the republicans would carry the
state. and no effort was made to increase
the majority.
Not q document, nor a hand book, nor a
speaker was sent into the state. In TACT,
we did nothing except to equip the ordinary
election machinery. No especial good could
hae come from rolling up a larger ma
iority in Maine, and we devoted our atten-
tion to states which are closer.
No Effort to Get Out the Vote.
"The short vote in both Vermont and
Maine can be accounted for by the fact
that no effort was made to get the vote
out. The result in both states is crafty
ing in showing that nothing is to be feared
from the dissatisfaction of the returning
soldiers. We suffered no loss in either Yer
mont or Maine on account of crlticlsms
growing out of the experience OF our SOL
ders In the war.
ssThere were no indications of scratching
of republican nominees. There was evident
Iy a large proportion of stay-at-homes put
this did not indicate dissatisfaction with the
ticket on the contrary, 1t meant that there
was simply a feeling that their votes were
not needed. and indifference rather than
disgruntlement was responsible Tor the
Stay-at-home vote.
Soldiers Vote the Republican Ticket.
We had not expected any added baneft
to the general republican cause from the
Vermont and Maine elections, but 1t turns
out that we can take decided satisfaction
in the fact that the returning soldiers voted
the republican ticket"

FAURE BACKS ZURLINDEN.
Excited Discussion of Dreyfus Case
by the French Cabinet.

PARIS. September 13.-The Rappel and
the Maun today say that at yesterdays
cabinet council the minister for war, Cen
eraI Zurlindcn explained his reasons for
opposing a revision of the Dreyfus case.
The premier, VI. Brisson. and the minister
of education. NJ. Bourgeois, these papers
add. urged General Zurlnden to change his
determination. but President Faure sided
with the minister for war.
An excited discussion followed and the
council was adjourned until the afternoon.
when calmness was restored. NJ Bourgeois
then pointed out the consequences of the
crisis. and further discussion of the matter
was adjourned until Saturday next
The newspapers here are unanimous in
the opinion that the situation is serious
They say thar tempOrizing will only delay
the decision, which, if favorable to a re-
vision of the case will cause the resgna-
ti0n of General ZurlInden, and which, if
hostile, will lead TO a withdrawal from the
cabinet of NJ BrissOn and result in a gem
eTal crisis.
II is rumored that in view of the possible
resignation of General ZurIinden, NJ Bris-
son has sounded General Brugere who. il

THE NEW YORK PARADE.
Efforts Still Being Made to Bring 1t
About.

Gen. Miles said today that dispa tches

corning the proposed parade of troops
there, and although he feared the parade
was off, yet efforts were still under way to
bring II about. Aside from the troops COM
ing from Porto Rico and those at Montauk
there are some 1000 cay valry horses, which,
with their mounts, would make a consider
able showing of the equipment for the
mounted branch Of the service. About
600 horses are to be disposed of, but the
re maining 5000 probably will be driven
across Long Islard, up to New York
thence to take stock trains for distribution
to cavalry posts. The drive through Long
Island would take until after next Salur-
day, so thas a parade with this cavalry ad-
Junct hardly could be arranged before next
