A STANDING REWARD OF 100000
FOR HIS ASSASSINATIO

San Francisco, CAL, Feb 10.-The
news of President Barrios' assassina-
ton did not greatly surprise the coll
ony of Gautemalans in this city yes
terday The colony is composed mostly
of exiles driven out by Barrios; they
are almost all friends of the revolu-
tionary party. 1t was known here
months ago that a price had been set
upon Barrios. A syndicate of Gaute-
malans, some here, and some mer-
chants in the disturbed country, COM
bined and offered 100000 for the death
of the dictator. The politicians went
into the scheme to regain their power,
and the merchants to avoid the heasfY
taxation on their property.
The fact was notorious in Gaute-
mala, and General Barrios himself
knew of the offer. There was much
talk about it, and it was fully expected
that attempts would be made on the
life of the president. About the first
of the year an officer of the Acapulco,
which plies between this port and Cen-
trail American ports, said in an inter-
view here:

guarded however, and whoever earns
the blood-money will have to run nu-
merous risks. There are hundreds
ready to take the chances, and as soon
as the coffee crops are in you will See
that a number of attempts Will DC
made to take the life of the president
of Guatemala. The leaders of the late re-
| bellion are all within striking distance
of the Guatemalan frontier, and when
their plans are matured, they vii
make their presence felt. Quite q

confirmation was possible of the various reports
Of captures I'm Southern waters.
The Strategy Board began another session
about midday to take into consideration the
latest reports OF American and Spanish naval
movements. Although members OF the Board
were extremely rcticent, two Of them minimZed
the reports that fleet o: Spanish warshps was
now on its way 20 this side II was said that
the official reports up to last night did not bear
out the rumors OF this movement. When asked
as to the reported purpose of dividing the Fly
the vessels along the North Atlantic coast to

shook his head and smilingly remarked: Stuff
cient unto the day is the evil thereof" II was
inferred that a Spanish attack on North Atlantic
points not regarded as imminent by the
Board. and that the division of the Flying
Squadron was question OF the future in case
Spanish fleet should be definitely located off the
northern coast.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that the Navy Department
had done nothing toward the purchase of the
