GUATEMALAN SITUATION
England and Germany Expected to Make
Demonstrations.
May Seize Custom Houses to Secure
Payment of Bonds That Have
Been Repudfated.

NEW ORLEANS, July 12.-The Picayune
prints the following: News of the gravest
character from Guatemala has been brought
to this city by the passengers on the Snyder
steamship Breakwater, which touched at
four or five of the leading Central Amer
lean ports before putting in here late Mon
day night. The report seems to be anthem
tic in the main.
Just before sailing on the steamer for
New Orleans said one of the passengers,
II was informed by persons in the best of
positions that probably before 1 could get
back both England and Germany would
make a naval demonstration at the two
leading ports of the republic of Guatemala.
1 Investigated the information before sail
ing and everything seems to point to its
genuineneSs.
Warships Sail.
"A large amount of the government debt
in form of bonds issued by the government
of Guatemala is held by English and Ger
man Interests. These bonds have been prac-
tically repudiated, at least the bonds have
sunk to nothing, ard the German and Eng
fish holders have protested vigorously to
their governments.
-Four warships are said TO have been
ordered to Guatemalan waters two German
and two English. One of each flag will
proceed to Puerto Barrios and one of each
will be sent to San Jose de Gua temala
which is on the Pacific side of the republic.
Possible Protectorate.
1.-THE point that most interests the United
States is that If this seizure of the custom
houses should result in long holding of
those ports in order that the amounts could
be collected, it would be necessary for a
protectorate to be established over the re-
public of Guatemala while this was going
on. In that the natural course of
affairs would be to turn to either Mexico or
the United States for that protectorate.
The first proposition would hardy be prob
allie because of the bad feeling existing
between Guatemala and the republic of
Mexico over the boundary dispute
