MEXICO CITY, June 9.-Salvadorean
advices today report a great victory
for the revolutionists, who repulsed a
vigorous attack by Government troops
in Southern Guatemala, though the
Government forces had artillery and
kept up a terrific cannonading for six
hours Under the leadership of Cen

fought desperately, and as a result of
their success there is great rejoicing
in their camp.

WASHINGTON, June 9-Secrecy no
longer surrounds the movements of
the United States cruiser Marblehead.
which has sailed north from Panama.
At the request of the State Department
the Marblehead sailed for San Jose.
Guatemala, to investigate the move
ments of the American steamer Empire,
which is reported to have landed re-
cruits from San Francisco and arms
and ammunition for the use of the
revolutionists against President Ca
brera.
Disquieting dispatches reached the
State Department today from Guate-
mala regarding the revolution. The
members of the present administration
are active in parts of the republic. but
it is impossible to discover the exact
cause of the movement and the direct
ing force.
Both the Salvadorean and Mexican
borders have been lending support to
the revolution and it is the desire OF
this Government that the Marblehead
shall find out exactly what the situa-
ton is and have care that there be no
participation in the revolution by
Americans which may involve the
United States in an International dis

Head Of the University Is
Grilled on Floor of
the Assembly.
Accused of Selhshness Dur
ing Debate on Appro-
priation Bill.
Wamed to Keep His Place
by Member From San
Luis Obispo.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

SACRAMENTO, June 9.-The appro-
priation of sSS,S0O that the Assembly
voted today for the use and benefit Of
the University Sf California was not
given without some very caustic COM
ment from Assemblymen Olmsted and
John regarding the head of the univer-
sity, President Benjamin Ide Wheeler.
The remarks of John in particular were
bitter against what he called the med
ding of the university's president, and
at the end of his harangue he took his
seat amid loud applause.
The bill finally passed by vote of 81
to II, Hartman and Severance OF San
Francisco changing from the negative
to the affirmative.
Scarcely had the clerk finished read
ing the title of the BILL which was ia
yorably reported by the ways and
means committee through Assembly
man Transue, when Assemblyman Ohm
sted rose and asked if the money was
not intended to aid officials of the uni
versity in travelling about the country
doing politics. Transue denied that
this was the purpose of the appropria-
tion and said if Olmsted had any
knowledge of any university official
spending any of the State money for
that purpose he should have brought
the matter to the notice of the COM
mittee.
Warren NJ. John of San Luis Obispo
then arose and said:
while I intend to vote for this ap-
preparation, which / think the univer-
sity needs, / want TO say that l do not
indorse and very much dislike the stand
that has been taken in educational af-
fairs and in affairs outside of the uni
versity by the president, Benjamin Ide
Wheeler.
whenever there is an appropriation
to be made, the State University is al
ways there to get its share. and l have
seen President Wheeler many times
trying to take .an appropriation from
the State at the expense of other ap-
propriations. Let him remain with and
! in the university. Let him not meddie
with the affairs of legislation or play
! politics, even though for the advance
| ment of the institution we all love and
revere Let him look to the work al
/ the university, and let him leave the
providing of the money for its mainte-
nance to those who apportion the
I States funds equally and see that nc
one institution gains to the disadvan-
tage OF the others
I'VE all of us love the State Univer-
sity: no man better than l. We have
all of US given her what she has needed
| in the past with ready hand. But the
/ time will come when this generosity
will cease if that man who stands a.
/ the head of the State University doe:
not keep in his place"
Those who voted against the appro
priation were Amerigue. Burge. Cleve
land. CoyIe. Cromwell. Dorsey Gates
Houser. Lynch. Mccartney, Olmsted.
