KIDNAPPED ON MEXICAN SOIL.
General Bowen of Guatemala Taken
by Force and Shot to


A private letter from Mexico dated July
IS which was received in this city states
that high-handed outrage had been per-
petrated by the agents of President Ca
brera of Guatemala against the dignity of
the Mexican Government The letter
states that General Plutarco Bowen has
been sojourning at Tapachula, Mexico,
and while there was forcibly taken across
the border into Guatemala. Arriving
there, he was met by an armed body who
seized and bound him hand and foot and
conveyed him to the port of Ocos: From
Ocos he was shipped to Champerico. and
from Champerico by land to Marcos,
where he was shot
This act has aroused the Mexican Gov
eminent to fighting pitch, and unless
Guatemala makes proper amends for its
high-handed action there will be gunpow-
der in the air.
General Bowen was a Peruvian by birth.
He had lived long in Guatemala, and rose
to be a general in the army. He was po-
litically opposed to President Cabrera, and
because he had the confidence of the peo-
pie Cabrera feared him and intimated that
he would have his life In order to es-
cape murder General Bowen fed to Mex
leo to meet his fate by treacherv
