New Orleans. June s.--Jose Gamez, special 'representat1ve of Nicaragua, and Consul General Echazaretta, of Nicaragua, left here today for Mexico City to confer with President Diaz.

Tranquility in t.uatemala.

Guatemala City, June s.-There are large bodies of troops in the capital and extraordinary precautions are ta- ken each night to maintain order. The populace is tranquil.
 The fact that a majority of those who were sentenced to death or im- prisonment for alleged participation Tn the attempts to assassinate President Cabrera belong to the highest society of the republic has caused a consid- erable depression fin business. The outcome of their plea for a revision of sentence rests with the court Of appeals. The time when a decision may be expected is not known: 1t may be rendered in three days or not for thirty days
 A delegation of spainards today called at the Spanish legation and com plained bitterly at the sentence upon Ricardo Trigueros a Spaniard. All the frontiers of the republic are guarded by the best army. both in the number of men and equipment. that ever has been raised in Guatemala.
 The government controls the situas ton with a firm hand and is able td maintain peace in all quarters of thG country The army will disband soon and the men return home.
