GUATEMALANS
HATE CABRERA
Coffee Planter Declares
Throne of Dictator
Is Tottering.
General Barillas the Idol
of the People, Says
the Grower.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

LOS ANGELES, June 19-The Cars
of Russia were never more generally
hated by the revolutionary elements of
that country than is President Cabrera
OF Guatemala, whose dictatorship is
tottering, according to Jose Guzman,
coffee planter residing near Guate-
mala City. GuZman has spent several
days in Los Angeles on his way to San
Francisco, from which port he pro-
poses 10 take ship to Salvador
and remain in that country until the
end of the revolution permits him to
return to his "fnca."
Although utterances of a political
nature bearing on Latin American af-
fairs are likely to cost their speaker
dear. Guzman frankly declared his hope
of seeing the revOlutionists win out and
seat General Barillas in the capital
of the country as its President Guz-
man said yesterday:
There never was juster war waged
than this one My country has lived
under the tyranny of this beast Cabrera
now as long as it is in the power of
endurance to stand My people bore
his thievery, knavery and insane cru
city just as long as they could. In the
meantime, though, they were busy
gathering arms and organizing an army
to rally about the standard of General
Bsrillas, who is the idol of the people.
And that is one of the reasons that
the present revolution is going to win
out The revolutionists are prepared.
They are well offfcered, and il may be
of interest TO you to know that we have
a good many American soldiers of for
tune in the Gautemalan revolutionary
army.
Everywhere the regular forces are
meeting defeat. 1t cannot be other
wise. They are fighting for a mon
ster, and they are doomed to defeat in
spite of the plausible cablegrams which
President Cabrera sends out for the
foreign newspapers.
When General Barillas has been
victorious and the revolution is at an
end / expect for my country an era of
quiet and peace and great prosperity.
Should we lose and Cabrera remain in
power, l and hundreds of my country
men will leave the country until his
tyrannical rule comes to an end"
