MAY CAUSE TROUBLE.
An "lncident" Likely In the
Guatemalan Affair.
PRECEDENTs IN SIMILAR CASES.

news az San EranciscO that the Much
Heralded Rebellion In the Republic has
Failed-Enemies of Guatemala Said to
BE Circulating slanderous Reports.
WASHINGTON, July 14.-It is proble-
NAUTICAL what attitude will be adopted
by our government in case an attempt
should be made by European govern
ments to seize the customs house in
Guatemala to collect money for bond
holders. In the case of the Corinto
landing, q question of national honor
was involved, an indemnity having
been demanded by Great Britain for
the i'll treatment Of her consular offic-
ers. But our government recently, and
notably in Mr.. Blaine's time, has tended
to the belief that holders of govern
ment bonds being individuals took their
bonds subject to the vicissitudes and
chances of Reputation, the prices being
regulated by the risks incurred.
SAN FRANCISCO. July l4.-The Even
ing Post is authority for the statement
that cablegram was received here yes
terday, stating that the first attempt Of
rebellion in Guatemala against the ad-
ministration of President Cabrera hdd
been made and had failed. The cipher
dispatch sent to gentleman in this
city states that the uprising occurred in
Quezaltonango. The government was
advised in time to suppress the move
ment, and as result Feliciano Aguilar
and 60 men were arrested and are now
in Jail. The dispatch did not come from
Quezaltenango, but from a northern
section of Guatemala and was carried
across the border into Mexico to avoid
the censor
Felipe Galicia, consul general of
Guatemala in this city, is very indig-
nant at the reports of revolution and
bankruptcy in Guatemala. He declares
that there is no truth in any statements,
that they have been circulated by ene-
mics Of the government anxious to Sc
cure its overthrow. The report that
foreigners have been persecuted in
Guatemala, he declares unequivocally
false.

Another Story of the Execution.

KANSAS CRY, July 14.-Alilichi is
over s5 miles from the telegraph Office

telling Of the execution of Goings, the

two women is untrue. The Kansas City

mart, Ark, giving a different story Of
the execution.

NOTHING RADlcALLYw WRONG

10 osot.AAesi.eu MOI On1avOraDly Co Evans.
WASHINGTON, July 14.-The pension
committee Of the G.. A. r. finished it's
inquiry here yesterday afternoon and
most pf its members left. The COM
mittee has been here three days, and
during most of the time has been accom-
panied by Senior Commander.in-C Chief
johnson. Commissioner of Pensions
Evans and corps of most experienced
employees of the bureau have given the
most thorough cooperation to the com
mittee.
The committee called at the white
house yesterday and for an hour and a
half engaged in conference with Presi-
dent Mckinley. During that time they
threshed over the whole pension policy
The president paid unusual attention to
the delegation and gave free expression
to his views on the subject. Later an
informal consultation was held as to the
nature of the report to be made This
document will be presented at the Phila-
delphd9 annual encampment Of the G.
A. r. IN September.
Pending the report, Colonel johnson,
the committees spokesman, and his
colleagues declined absolutely to discuss
their work or the results of their in
quiry. 1t was admitted, however, that
much that has been printed concerning
the action Of the bureau was found un-
true. When the committee arrived here
it had memorandum of about 80 cases,
in which the rulings had been criticised.
The papers in these cases were sent for
in regular order, and, it is understood,
disclosed substantially no foundation
for the attacks on the official action on
them.

the Faulty Aim of His Execntioner.
Details as Given.
HoUsroN,, Tex, July IA special to
the Post from Goodland, I. T., says
William Goings was shot at Alikichi,
I. T., yesterday under sentence of the
Choctaw court for murder. During the
day friends of the prisoner gathered
and 1t was rumored an attempt would
be made to rescue him. Twenty Indian
deputies We're placed on guard and
everybody was warned to keep away.
Feeling among the Choctaws was fur
ther aroused by a report that an attempt
would be made to prevent the execu-
ton by another habeas corpus, Federal
Judge Townsend having stopped the
execution once by habeas corpus.
Application was made yesterday to
Federal Judge John R. Thomas for q
writ of habeas corpus by Goings' attor-
ney, and an order. by Judge Thomas
granting the writ was telegraphed from
Tulsa, I. T., last night. The sheriff re-
fused to receive it and the district at
torney declared that only Almighty
God or Judge Abner James, the Choc-
taw judge, could stop the execution. A
runner was dispatched to Judge James,
IA miles away, and he sent verbal
message to go ahead with the execution,
which took place two hours later, and
was horribly sickening.
A few minutes before GOings was led
out four Choctaws appeared bearing a
coffin, which was deposited in front of
the courthouse and near it quilt was
spread. The condemned, supported by
Sheriff Watson and deputy and es-
corted by 30 light horsemen,. was
marched down the line of spectators.
He bade them good bye. Goings then
knelt on the quilt blindfolded. The
sheriff barred his bosom, painted point
over his heart, stepped back four PAGES,
rested a Winchester across bench and

backwards and moaned piteously. for an
hour before expiring. Water was
poured down his throat number of
times to hasten death by strangulation.
Goings was 80 years old. He had
killed seven men and two women, all
his relatives. He had strange antipa-
thy for his Hnsfolk. During the execu-
ton the light horsemen, with Win
chesters, faced the crowd and kept their
eyes riveted upon two deputy United
States niarshals. The latter did not
make any effort to interfere after de-
ivering the writ.

TRIPLE TRAGEDY
 IN A TEXAS TOWN
Andrew Simpson Enraged Over
 His Daughters Marriage.
HE WENT UPON WARPATH
Shot His Son-in-Law, Killed the Lat ter's Father, and Then Commit ted Suicide-Panola County
 Greatly Excited

Long View, Texas, September 12.-Panola county ,and especially Rockville, is excited over triple tragedy. The trouble was caused by James Forsythe, a highly re- spected young man, marrying Miss Ollie Simpson, belle of the neighborhood. It seems that on account of the general as- tuteness of the girls father, Andrew Simp- son, the young man was afraid to approach him for the hand of his daughter and with several young men he succeeded in steal ing the young lady and they were married Saturday night.
 This so ansered the old gentleman that when he learned of the wedding last even ing, he loaded a double barrelled shot gun and said he would kill the whole party. As he road up to Forsythe he saw his son. in-law fleeing. Simpson shot Forsythe as the latter ran. Simpson then rode toward the house.
 armed to see what the trouble was, and was instantly killed with load of buck shot in the body. Simpson then dismount- ed and ran into the house with his pistol, saying he would kill his daughter, but the mother of young Forsythe ran between them and held his pistol until the girl got away. Simpson then walked out of the front gate, put the pistol to his head, kill ing himself.
 Young Forsythe is desperately wounded, but may recover AIT stores in Rockville are closed and business in general is sus- pended on account of the tragedy.
