citizen.
Late arrivals from Guatemala confirm
the reports of stagnation of business and
lack of men to gather the coffee crop, while

The government has concentrated an
army of some 10000 men, many of them
uparmed and badly clothed. near the Sal

Gen. Toledo's camp of revolutionists is
near at hand, and he is drilling his men
and receiving recruits from all parts of

Attempts to have the government of the

persons to be due to President Cabreras s
fear that without the moral support of the
United States he may not be able to survive
the struggle.

government or kept it informed as to the
methods employed by Cabrera.
