A SENSATIONAL STORY.'|
England and Germany Said to Be About to Jump on Little
 Guatemala.
WARSHIPS SAID TO HAVE BEEN SENT.
tical1y Repudiated Obligations Held by Citizens of the Two COun- tries-We May be Called Upon for Protection.

New Orleans, July 13.-The Plea. yune prints the following:
 News of the gravest import from Guatemala was brought to this city by the passengers of the Snyder steam ship Breakwater. which touched at fcur or five of the leading CeEtra! American ports before putting in here late Monday night. The reports seem to be authentic in the main, and come from sources that are of the highest order.
 A Naval Demonstration.
 Just before sailing on the steamer for New Orleans" said one of the pas sengers. 'I was informed by several persons that England and Germany would shortly make naval demon stration on the two leading ports of the republic of Guatemala. I learned that large amount of the govern ment debt, in the form of bonds is- sued by the government of Guatema- la, is held by English and German in- terests. These bonds have been prac. tically repudiated; at least the bonds have sunk to nothing. and the Ger man and English holders have pro- tested vigorously to their govern ments.
 Four Warships Sent.
 -Four warships are said to have been ordered to Guatemalan waters, two German and two English. One of each flag will proceed to Puerto Bar rios and one of each nation will be sent to San Jose de Guatemala. which IS on the Pacific side of the republic.
 An Interesting Point.
 "The point that most interests the United States is that if the seizure of the customhouses should result in a 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 republic ol Guatemala while this was going on.
 The Natural COurse
 In that case, the natural course of affairs would be to turn either Mexi- co or the United States for that pro- tectorate. The first proposition would hardly be probable, because of the bad feeling existing between Guatemala and the republic of Mexico over the boundary dispute"
