ened.

MOBILE, Jan. u.-Parties arriving
here from Guatemala report that revo-
utionists are preparing for another
movement, and that President Cabrera
is. mobilizing troops on the frontiers of
spanish Honduras and Salvador.
The trouble is due to dissatisfaction
with the financial conditions of the re-
public. which have been in a bad way
for five years.
Guatemala dollars were worth six
days ago 81 cents in American money,
while silver money is seldom seen The
soldiers have not been paid in full for
several months
the customs receipts are barely suf-
nclent 10 meet the republics current ex-

fired at the ground. The men who at
tackled him thought ne did not have
nerve enough to fire at them, and form
ing flying wedge, such as Is used In
football. charged on him Murphy was
IN front. and as he flew at the
policeman, McKie fired at him. The bui-
let took effect in Murphy's right
shoulder and disabled his arm.
Two are overpewered.
The remaining five men then attack
ed West, striking him on the head and
body. and hurting divers kinds of mis-
siles at him. When they attempted to
wrest his night stick from him he drew
ms revolver and fired twice, but no one
was struck. Murphy. although wound
ed and bleeding. fought like an infuriat-
ed tiger, and ciawed repeatedly at the
poiieemen's faces
Murphy and Burke were finally over
powered and sent to the Fourth precinct
station, charged with assault. Murphy
refused to go to any hospital.
In the Police Court this morning he
appeared in the dock with his right arm
held akimbo, by much-soiled strfng
own blood. He and Burke denied that
they hal been drinking or that any
one In the house had uttered any cries
for help or nolice.
Judge Kimball held that they were
both guilty of assaulting the police
men. and they were fined $50 or six
months in jail each.

every case without request. This meant
an added expense to the annual operat-

coo.

best to observe the rules which have
held US strictly to the discharge of our
duty to the public and to the company
This line of conduct on both sides has
created and maintained the best and
| pany and ourselves.
| Your latest act, for which we are
now thanking you, in voluntarily giving
us increased pay, which we realize is a
heavy additional expense. will not be
found to be in reality loss to you. We
i feel that the value of the company

/ fidelity.
I'VE therefore assure you that we
shall use every effort to maintain and

Admiral Davis pointed out that. con-

Roosevelt had proclaimed the principle

The City Campaign
Five Weeks before Election.

1t is now but little more than five
weeks until the city election occurs,
and the prospects for the White Demo
cratic Primary candidates making a
clean sweep Of the field grow brighter
all of the time.
AS a matter Of fact there are good
reasons for believing that even the
leaders of the Anti-White, Primary
movement nave practically given up
all hope of electing their candidates.
II is understood that they had hard
work to get out enough candidates TO
make a full ticket and no enthusiasm
of any kind is apparent so far as
those candidates are concerned.
The only signs of campaign on the
part of the opponents OF the White
Democratic Primary nominees are the
numerous anonymous communications
which appear il the columns of the
Daily News, but it is noticeable fact
that no one has yet had the courage
or the manhood to sign his name to
any of them.
That form of campaign is about as
contemplate as it is possible to make
II. It is on a par with the tactics o.
the thug who hurls brick from q
dark alley, or of the foot pad wac
strikes his victim from behind. Little
sneaking insinuations and pOisonou:
inuendo all find a place and, it may
be added. their proper place, in thai
kind of newspaper attack. 1t is quite
likely, however, that the public vii
size this reprehensible campaign VI
for just what it is worth. and it vii
no doubt react on its sponsors before
the city election occurs.
In the meantime Mr. Bliss and thu
entire White Democratic Primar!
ticket continue to gain strength ant
all point to the biggest popular ma
jo.ity for this ticket which the histor.
of city elections in Pensacola al
fords.
