GUATEMALAN MATTER SIFTED.
Charges of Violations Of Rules of War

GUATEMALA. August 20.-Now that all
of the official documents relating to the re-

they show clearly that the accusation that
Guatemala had violated the rules Of war.

world, had no foundation whatever in fact
A telegram from President Cabrera to his
military officers is published, showing that
when the invading armies from Salvador

were given to allow them free exit from

1t Is also pointed out that while the Sal

perfect quiet was maintained at all the

were those caused by the invading army
During the period, President Cabrera in
person, drove the first spike In the northern
railway, and later the train service from
Puerto Barrios was extended to Guasto-

There is now ground for the belief that

and accounts will be settled within the
next few weeks. Rear Admiral Harris has
held the Office since July, 1903 and was
retired in March, 1905 There are several
candidates for the Office, and each is strong.

so keen that the authorities have found 1t

of all the officers OF the pay corps eligible

of Secretary Bonaparte, and he will per-
sonally submit them to the President with

FEVER CASE ISOLATED.
Precautions Taken at New Iberia,
La, to Hedge Yellow Jack.

NEW ORLEANS, La, August 2O.-Ad-
vices from New Iberia, 125 miles from New
Orleans. where a negro was reported yes
terday to be suffering with yellow fever
report the arrival today of President Irion
of the state board of health and members
of HIS staff. Systematic fumigation and
screening is to be pushed under the direc-
ton Of the health officials.
The fact that the case Is in the isolated
outskirts Of the town encourages the belief
that there will be no further infection.
There is no excitement at New Iberia and
no exodus. the people having faith that SCI
ence will control the case.
Quarantines have not been imposed, but
for time indiscriminate travel to and from
the town will be prohibited. Doctors think
the present case was probably imported
from some point along the Mexican coast.

ton with a crash. But 1t is not easy to do
SO, as the present Congress and its imme-
diate predecessors have done-that Is,
sterniy to disregard alike the self-interest
of those who have profited by the present
evlls and the wild clamor Of those who care
less to do away with them than to make a
reputation with the unthinking of standing
In extreme opposition to them. But this is
precisely what the present Congress has
done.
Instead of enacting antitrust laws
which were either so vague or so sweeping
as completely to defeat their own objects
II has given us an interstate commerce
law which will enable US to exercise IN
thorough fashion a supervision over the
common carriers of this country. so as,
while scrupulously safeguarding their prop
er interests to prevent them from charging
excessive rates; to prevent their favoring
one man at the expense Of another. and
especially strong man at the expense OF
weak man; and to require them to be
fully accountable to the public for the
service which, to their own profit, they rem
der the public. The previous Congress, by
the enactment of the Elkihs law and by
the creation of the Department of Com
merce and Labor, including the bureau OF
corporations, had enabled US to make great
strides in advance along the path Of thus
bringing the use Of wealth In business un-
der the supervision and regulation of the
national government-for in actual prac-
tice 1t has proved a sham and pretense to
say that the several states can thus super
wise and regulate it,
President Roosevelt reviews and approves
the mea sures taken to secure certain rights
to wage workers, including the employers
liability law and the eight-hour law. he
announces that If additional legislation is
needed to make the eight-hour law effect
i've he will ask for 1t, and also that next
year he will ask Congress to put in per-
manent form his regulations for securing
Saturday half holidays for wage workers
under the government during the summer
months. 1--WE will do everything" he says,
that can be done to further the interests
Of the farmer and the wage worker. and
this declaration is subject to only one res
ervation. which is that for no man and no
body of men will we do anything that Is
wrong"

W.J.BRYAN STANDS PAT
Wants No Illinois Endorsement
for President
AT T0M0RRoW's MEETING
Unless Roger Sullivan is Repudiated
by Convention.
MANDATE SENT ACROSS THE SEE
In a Letter to Judge Thompson OF
Jacksonville-State Democracy
to Meet at Peoria

PEORIA, ILL.,, August 20.-Wtlliam J..
Bryan, according to his friend, Judge Owen
p Thompson of Jacksonville, Ill, desires
no instructed delegates from Illinois In the
next democratic national convention unless
the national committeeman from Illinois,
Roger C.. Sullivan, is repudiated by tomor-
rows state convention.
Judge Thompson made the announcement
Immediately upon his arrival In the city
that he had received such message from
Mr. Bryan. When asked today for copy OF
the Dispatch Judge Thompson said:
"I cannot give out copy of the message
as It contains other matter which shou!o
not be published. I can. however, quote
verbatim all that it contains relative to the
instructions by the convention. This Is 'op-
pose instructions unless Sullivan repudl-
ated.'"
what is Mr.. Bryan going to do If Suili-
van is upheld by the convention ana IN
structions are given for Mr.. Bryan despite
Mr.. Bryans protest?"
''They will never do such thing as tnat,
replied Judge Thompson. DO you suppose
that any man will attempt to compliment
Mr. Bryan with instructions, when ne mas
been informed by Mr.. Bryan that 1t is NOT
in his power to compliment him? l don't
believe it,
Sullivan Laughed.
Mr.. Sullivan merely laughed when asked
what the convention will about indorsing
Bryan.
I'VE will not oppose any instructions in
favor of Mr.. Bryan. We have never
thought of doing so. If delegates come to
the convention instructed for Bryan, they
will have to vote that way guess"
The actual fight for the control Of the
convention will not commence until 10
o'clock tonight when the state central
committee will meet. Former Representa-
tive Williams, former Representative Kerns
and Judge c. c. Boggs are mentioned FOR
Temporary chairman. After this matter. Is
adjusted, the fight will be shifted to the
committee on resolutions.
National Committeeman Sullivan and his
friends do not wish the resolutions indors-
ing Mr.. Bryan to contain anything beyond
that Endorsement. The opponents of Sui
livan desire that 1t contain a condemnation
of Sullivan and request for his resigna-
ton from the national committee. The
matter will undoubtedly come before the
convention In the shape Of majority and
minority reports.
Bryan Sailed for Home.
GIBRALTAR, August 20.-William J.
Bryan and his party boarded the North
