NO PERMANENT PEACE
Revolutionary Leaders Say There Can
Be None with Cabrera in Power.

Revolutionary Leaders Say There Can
Be None with Cabrera in Power.
City Of Mexico, July 18.-Leaders of
the revolution do not look for perma-
nent peace between Salvador and
Guatemala for several reasons, one be-
ing that the discretionary party in
Guatemala, with sympathizers by thou
sands all over Central America, will
not, it is believed, consider as final any
terms which may prolong the power Of
President Cabrera.
Were he eliminated and another man
put at the head Of Guatemalan affairs
the revolutionists would be contented
and would welcome suggestions from
the presidents of Mexico and the
United States. .s.s..% I. <
In this regard the revolutionists are
very unanimously for General Barrillas,
now in this city, who was the first
term and decline reelection.
General Barrillas declares his only
ambition is to bring about condition
Of good administration in Guatemala
and to assist in carrying out broad
and liberal program. He has large es-
tates in the department. Of San Marcos.
Well,informed persons here believe
that the best action by the United
States would be to ask for complete
change of government in Guatemala,
with proper. recognition of Barrillas,
Toledo, Castillo and other leaders Of
the present revolt rs
Salvador, it is affirmed, will never
consent to terms with Cabrera her bit
ter enemy. Cabrera has manifested
unexpected military strength and this
fact has somewhat puzzled the revolu-
tionists, but they declare that the
revolutionists will go on unless the
can persuade Cabrera to step down and
out. i.
There is likely soon to be another
revolutionary movement begun In
Guatemala, experimenting the presen,
one.
