Mrs Mary Kennedy, who was Injured

CABRERA MAINTAINS
HIMSELF BY FORCE
GUATEMALAN DICTATOR BOTH
HATED AND FEARED.
An American Banker Exiled for Re
fusing to Loan Money-Political
Prisoners Shot by Guards.

Mail advices from Guatemala confirm
the reports of an approaching crisis IN
the Central American republic. That the
dissatisfaction will lead to a revolution
against the administration of President
Cabrera seems hardly likely in view Of
the fact that there is no money in the
country to organize anything approaching
a formidable insurrection. Uprisings IN
the cities are however, expected, and
while they may not result In Cabrera )
downfall they will cause great loss to in
vested capital.
It is by no means unlikely that foreign
governments, especially the United States
and Germany and possibly England, may
be called upon to interfere, if they have
not been requested to do so already.
Cabrera appears to be maintaining him
self in office purely and simply by force.
Numerous tales of political prisoners be-
ing shot to death by their guards acting
under his orders are being circulated.
Among those said to have been murdered
in this manner by order of the dictator
are the following: Colonel Mateo Paz and
his brother Vincente shot down while be-
ing taken to prison at Zacapa; Jose Ma
Ubizo, assassinated by his guards on the
way to Chato; Don Herachio Trejo, in
San Marcos; Don Guadencio Morales, in
the Rancho San Augustin; Don Adrian
Victoria, in Tecuhitan; Don Filadelfo
Pals, in Costa Cuca, and many others
whose names are unknown.
Five thousand refugees in Salvador and
as many more in Mexico and Honduras
are ready to take up arms against Ca
brera. The great majority of the people
of Guatemala detest him and would like
to see him deposed. but they also fear
him. The seriousness of the situation lies
in the fact that there is no money in the
luton, even If unsuccessful, would result
in hopeless national bankruptcy.

literally in numbers and brilliantly in

to know intuitively a good thing before
seeing it, for Lord and Lady Algy' Is
not only a good thing in the way of
modern comedy. but it is one Of the best
Of the good things in that line that have
come to San Francisco.
AS the piece was presented at the
Columbia last night it was elaborately
staged and superbly costumed, the gowns
of the ladies in the fancy dress ball in the
second act being a shimmerng dream or
beautiful fabrics. These scenic elabora-
tions were the framework for clever dia-
logue and funny situations that arose
naturally and glided into place without
effort The act comes to an almost pa
thetic climax, when, after Lord Alger-
non. tipsy and almost maudlin. is or
dered out of the house by Brabazon Tud-
way, Lady Algernon places her arms
about him and lovingly escorts him from
the room loyal enough and womanly
enough not to desert her husband in his
disgrace.
There was the stiffness of intense inter
est in the crowded house as the curtain
rolled down upon the tableau ana tnen
the audience forgot its dlgnihed reserve
and applauded again and again.
Henry Miller has a role that fits him.
He acts 1t with naturalness and repreS-
sion as delightful as novel. The tipsy
scene. the most trying and risky Of all,
because one so easily Overdone, was
played just to the limit and not hair
breadth beyond.
Margaret Anglin's portrayal Of the
good-hearted and volatile Lady Agernon
was artistic. Her naturalnesS ana spon-
taneity were refreshing. c. Leslie Allen
Brabazon Tudway was good make up
for a caricature of Senator Mark Hanna
and was played cOnscientiOusly-in spots:
and the ball room scene was not one OF
the spots. There he seemed to forget ms
