ACCOUNTS OF MINISTER AND
CONSUL ARE CONFLICTING.
KILLING IN GUATEMALA
Is Reported as Cold BIooded Murder
from One Source-Another Says
It Was Accidental.

Washington, Nov. 23.-=The state
department today received reports
from DR.. Hunter, minister at Guate-
mala City, and Consul General McNal-
ly at the same place, regarding the
case of Godfrey Hunter, Jr, and Sec
rotary Bailey Of the American lega-
ton there, who were parties to the
shooting ARRAY resulting in the death
of William Fitzgerald.
Mr.. McNalley's latest advice gives
the affair the aspect of a shocking and
cold-blooded murder, making it ap-
pear that Secretary Bailey was a par
ty to the crime, holding up Fitzgerald
with a revolver in front while HunteT
shot the man from behind. +
Minister Hunters statement is a
fiat contradiction of this report. He
saws that his son Godfrey and Secre-
tary Bailey, while sitting on a bench
in a public park, were attacked Dy
FITZGERALD, who struck young Hunter
and snapped a pistol which failed to
explode. Young. Hunter thereupon
shot and killed him.
The existence of a conspiracy be-
tween the members of the American
colony, including Consul General NC
Nally, is charged by DR.. Hunter. IL
is known here that a bitter personal
feud has existed for several years be-
tween DR.. Hunter and Mr.. McNally.
The state department will wait to near
from the Guatemalan government pe-
fore taking action in the matter.
The department takes the ground
that if he Guatemalan law has been
violated in the killing of Fitzgerald
il is for the Guatemalan government
to take the initiative in the PUNISH
ment of any guilty parties. II the
Guatemalan authorities conclude ina
Hunter and Bailey are liable to pun
ishment under their laws, they VII
undoubtedly make application to n
state department for the surrender o
the men. 1t is said that the depart
ment will not allow itself to be use(
to shelter any guilty person, and ina
it has the right to waive dlplomatl
i]mmunities. 1t is stated in this GU.
that if Hunter and Bailey are exemp
from the operation of the Guatemala
law they will go unpublished, even !
guilty. because they cannot be tfle
in the United States for an ottens
committed in a foreign country, eve
though the victim was an America
citizen.
One of the statements attributed
McNall relative to the killing is tina
FITZGERALD had just purchased a me-
revolver and that at the invitation
Railev he was exhibiting it to the Ia
ter. when Hunter, who stepped in n
reor fred into his back. During tn
dav a telegram came from Mr.. Aide
Smith. who represents the Gran
Rapids, Mich, district, asking for II
formation relative to Fitzgerald
death, and whether or not his I
mains could be forwarded to Gran
Rapids. The inquiry will be 10

stiff price was never better. The trade
papers don't give any figures for prices
obtained for force-sweated wrappers or
binders. If they do, it always is for
crops that sell low. The force sweat is
coming in now more rapidly and will
soon be all taken. The work of sweat
ing is nearly over for the year, though
one man who has kept his sweater busy,
writes that he has about 100 acres more
to sweat. So quite large portion of the
wrappers are in the hands of manufact-
urers.
Our correspondents write as follows:

Today marks the close of an unevent-

least so far as homegrown tobacco is
concerned. The past week has been

were effected during the past week.
Business throughout April has been

Business in the market has relapsed
again into the sterotyped dullncss, which
is broken only here and there by sales Of
small lots for immediate needs. Ware
houses are being emptied as fast as ship
ments can be effected and in the whole
history of the trade there was never a
time when so little stock was held on ac-
count of manufacturers as just now. All
odds and ends are being worked up,
which is the surest indication that one
of these days there will be rush of buy
ers in the market. For the present,
however, jobbing business is chiefly
being done. All grades of leaf are
tackled, but only in limited quantities.
But the attention of the market was
rooted this week on two other events
than the volume of business. The one
was the fourth inscription at Amsterdam
and the other the auction of Connecti-
cut shade-grown leaf. Stay-at- homes
cannot understand, in view of the tardi-
ness of business, why Americans are buy
ing such quantities of Sumatra, particu-
larly of a crop the merits and demerits
of which have not been thoroughly faith
omed as yet. For again nearly 1000 bales
were bought on top of the 5000 at the
third inscription. The second event was
the Hartford sale, full account of the
result of which is published in another
place. The result is said to have been
disappointment to the thrifty farmers,
who employed the U. S. Department of
Agriculture as barker" for them, as
we'll as to the buyers. For in spite of
the abnormal prices paid for some to-
bacco, there was no animation to the sale

driven prices up purposely for the

LANCASTER New ERA, AprilI29, 1902.
After a month or more of extreme
dullness, the local market reused from
its state of quietude, and the sales ran to
more than three thousand cases. Not
the least satisfactory feature is the fact
that nearly all of these goods were of the

and packed in our warehouses. The 1000

reported to US we're 1000 cases of new
goods, sold by M. M. FRY, and cured by
the bulk process; 498 cases sold by John

sold by B. E. Good, also destined for the
Old World; $50 cases sold by l. H Wea-

goods were sold: One country packing of

We have the names of the buyers, but

rapidly finding buyers. even among those
who have held off until quite recently,

The transactions in old goods are very
few, about the only one to report is the
sale of 136cs of choice lot of 1900 which
A. N. Jones of GAINESVILLE sold to an east
ern firm. George McGifin of this city
has been sampling the lot this week.
Despite the fact that plant beds were
slow at the beginning, there never was a
time at this season when they looked SC
favorable as now, and an abundance oi
good healthy plants is assured.
The shipments out of storage reach a
total of car loads, or about 400 cases
from this market to all points for the

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.

On and after Oct. 1. 1902, the sub.
scription price Of The Capital will be
STRICTLY CASH in advance, as
follows: 8 months 40 cts; 6 months "a
cts. |; one year 81. 0
All subscriptions will be discontin-
nued at end of time paid for unless
order for renewal, accompanied with
cash, be received on or before date
of expiration.
We are led to this decision from
the fact that we believe it to be. the
most satisfactory plan both to the
publishers and subscribers. Very fire..
quently complaints are made to us
by subscribers because their papers
were continued beyond the time
paid for without renewal orders from
them. TIE most popular and success
%ful-eastern papers are those adopting
this plan. The amount, we lose ans
nually by the MISUNDERSTANDING
plan, if saved, would enable US to
furnish a much better paper to those
who pay as they go.
The subscription price of Tie Cap
ital is 50 low, considering the size
and merit of the paper, that we cam
not afford to continue se%ndingit for
one, two, or three years without pay
ment, even were we then certain Of
receiving it. The great majority of
our: subscribers we know do and will
pay, but as it is not possible for us
to know the exact financial standing
Of each one, we are Obliged to make
one rule for all. If your paper be
discontinued at end of time paid for
do not conclude that it is necessarily
because we are, afraid to trust you al
few weeks or months longer, but
rather because we must have some
uniform rule in dealing with a
thousand or more people, very many
ofswhom are strangers to us.
We will endeavor to give each sub
scriber ample notice Of. the date Of
expiration of his subscription but
this date you will always find print-
ed on each paper along with your adj.

ment will prove satisfactory toour.
