Guatemala JustNOw in the Midst
of Many Troubles
Eruption of Volcano Has Destroyed
the Coffee Crop in That
Country.
A REVOLUTION THREATENED


here from Guatemala by people who
have seen the ruin wrought by the re-
cent eruption of Santa Maria volcano
confirm all the previous reports. The
situation could hardly be worse. All
the coffee plantations in the vicinity
Of the volcano, says Manuel Hurtado,
just arrived here from Guatemala,
have been destroyed for all time.
Asnes from ten to fifteen feet deep
cover the country. In tbe neighbor.
hood of the volcano. ashes are so deep
that only some Of tho tops of tall trees
can be seen. Scoria and ashes cover
l,oco square miles to depths of from
one to five feet.
one-third Of the entire coffee crop
has been destroyed. About 300, 600
quintals of the very choicest coffee
have been lost, and all land upon
which it was grown is doomed to eter-
nal sterility.
"As to whether or rot the economic
conditions produced by the natural
catastrophes will tend to produce rev.
olution, is question | cannot an
swer. but can say that President Ca
brera has everything we'll in hand"
said he.
Another gentleman from Guatemala
makes some very emphatic assertions.
He says that a revolution is one of the
contingencies most hkley to arise in
Guatemala in the next few months.
Tho only reason there is no revolution
in Guatemala at the present moment,
says the gentleman, is because the en-
emies Of Cabrera are without money.
without money, Of course they are
without friends, but as soon as they
secure funds they will precipitate q
revolution. He says President Csbre-
ra is little tyrant; that he practical.
ly controls everything in Guatemala,
increasing the financial resources of
the country aud the army. He has po-
lice commit atrocities with startling
frequency, and the penitentiaries are
being filled with persons Of high
standing who are arrested ON false
charges, simply because they fall I'M
der the suspicion Of Cabrera.
While 1t is against the law in Qua
temsla to put amy body no death for
crime, executions are daily taking
place. All executions are, Of course,
accomplis eel secretly, ami every one
of them are carried out by order Of
the tyrant. In fact anybody who
comes under the frown of Cabrera, it
is said, is liable to arrest and condem-
nation to death without trial.
IL is true that Antonio Barrios has
just arrived in Guatemala, but the
suggestion that he is to lead n move.
ment against Cabrera is to be sneered
at. There is not Barrios in Guatema-
la who has any influence.
Nine. Barrios herself is in England,
and is therefore not to be considered
rs a revolutionary factor. Besides, |
AL her money has been spent.

Corn Slower.

Shredded fodder. or corn stover, has
great value as feed stuff because the
juices OF the growing corn are retained
In the stover in soluble form. If corn is
harvested AZ the right time before it gets
too ripe, tho change from the soluble to
the insoluble form is arrested. and the
fodder cures into nutritious feed, which,
when shredded, is equal to or superior to
timothy hay, while the same fodder If
allowed to stand week longer would
lose much of it's value for feeding pur-
poses If allowed to stand until it has
become too ripe. the rich sap turns into
woody, indeestible fibre, and the fodder
becomes hard. tough and unpalatable to
tho stock The Mccormick corn binder
and The Mccormick husker and shredder
enable the farmer to cut his corn at the
proper time and shred the fodder into
stover. which Is better than hay.
