CABRERA SAID TO
 BE IN DEEP PLOT
SEVERAL YEARS AGO HE TOOK STEPS TO FoMENT RESOLUTION IN sALVADoRE, WHICH ADJoINs GUATEMALA.

Mexico City, July S.-Documents are 1t will be proven that President Cabrera of Guatemala in 1903 entered into nego- tiations with pr. Prudencia Alfaro, who had been vice president of Salvatore, whereby 1t was agreed that Alfaro should organize a revolution in Salvatore against the administration of President Regalado.
 One of the most important documents in the case is a letter from Alfaro to Pres ident Cabrera, dated June 9, 1903 wherein Alfaro says that on the establishment of a new government In Salvatore and Guat- emala, and further that all war material and pecuniary aid furnished by Cabrera for the purpose of overthrowng the Sal vadorean government shall be returned
 Elaborate code whereby Cabrera and revoutionists could communicate is pub lished.
 It is charged that two years later, or in 1905 President Cabrera grew suspicious of Alfaro and feared he would publish these compromising documents, and It was only through the effort of an Ameri- can consul that he could leave Guate- mala The explanation of Cabrera's change of purpose Is that he became afraid to carry out his part of the bar gain. There are many confirmatory docu- ments which fell eventually into the hands of the Nicaraguan and Salvadorean governments.
 It Is likely that the entire plot will be revealed to the United States government

 q could give New Orleans satisfac- tory bill of health indeed on the authority of Dr. White (head of the marine hos ptal service at New Orleans) were 1t not for the fact that at the moment of my departure a communication came from Dr. Goldthwait of Mobile to the effect that on information a publication of that city was announcing the discovery of a case of fever at New Orleans accompanied by black vomit'

CAPTAIN AND OFFICERS SAVE VESSEL ONLY BY HEAVlNG DRUMS OF NAPTHA oVEH- BOARD.

Singapore, July S.-The British oil steam- CT Indrani Captain Williams, from New York to Shanghai, with 900 drums of naphtha and 35, 5,0O0 cases of oil on board, caught fire this afternoon, just east Of this harbor. Many drums were thrown overheard, and the fire eventually was put out. The Indrani continued her voy- age.
 The fire began by the bursting of one of the naphtha drums. Flaming naphtha flowed across the deck, and the other drums caught fire almost immediately. The Chinese crew refusing to assit In throwing the burning durms overheard, clambered into lighters. The captain and officers of the Indrani heaved the flaming drums into the sea. and managed to save the ship, whose iron deck prevented a general conflagration.
 Floating drums of naphtha blazing furiously drfted with the tide into Sing apore harbor, and crossed the man-of- war anchorage. Shipping and wharves were endangered until change of tide carried the drums southward, where they gradually burned out.
 This is the second fire which has oe- cured on the Indrani since she left New York April 10 for Chinese ports dis- patch dated June said that the vessel had been saved from destruction by Ire by the throwing overheard of 2o0 drums of naphtha

Reports Are Favorable.

New Orleans, July s-The Picayune's correspondents in the cotton belt of Louis- lana and Mississippi report conditions during the past week to have been again exceedingly favorable. In Louisiana mois- ture has been well distributed, and tenn perature has been normal. Cotton is in splendid condition, the prospects for a full crop excellent, and the crop Is well cultivated.
 No insect pests are reported except in few localities.

The crop is looking fine. al- though a few points report that the plants are still small owing to the dry weather. Taking the central district as a whole there has been a further improve ment fin cotton prospects.

Not Encouraging In Southeast.

Atlanta, July S.-The Constitution's- re- ports on the condition of the cotton crop in the southeastern section of the belt are far from encouraging. indicating that the crop is in worse condition than last week From all sections complaint is made of excessive rains. which prevent culti- vation and as a consequence the crop Is very grassy.
 In Georgia the general condition justi- hes no change from the report of last week. Rains have again been excessive for the greater part of the week in south Georgia. There Is practically no Juno crops, the stand Is poor and the plant Is puny and yellow It Is said the yield will be greatly decreased. The crop Is badly in grass and labor Is scarce.
 Conditions in Florida are unchanged from last week; the crop is small stands bad. and there Is too much grass.
 The eastern part of North Carolina Is said to be water soaked. scarcely day having passed since the srd inst without heavy rains. In the central part of the state the crop Is In fine condition, but the cotton Is not large and the stand is some- what irregular yet 1t Is good plant and frutlng well. The reports indicate the crop in the state has been damaged 20 per cent by rain.
 In South Carolina conditions this week are worse than last week. the excessive rains continue and the crop is very grassy. Cultivation has been greatly delayed, and unless better conditions prevail shortly, much of the crop will be seriously dam nped
