DEMAND ON GUATEMALA.
Mexico Wants General Lima Held for
 Murder of General BarrIllas.

Mexico City, April 2S, Minister of Foreign Affairs Mariscal issued a state ment last night in which he said that the Mexican government had made a demand on Guatemala, and that Gen. eral Jose Maria Lima of the Guate- malan army, be held on the charge of murder of General Barrillas until ex- tradition papers reach the Guatemalan capital
 He added that unless Guatemala ac- cedes to Mexico's request domestic re- lations between the countries will be severed. This, the document adds, will not necessarily lead to a further or more serious breach.
 It is authoritatively stated that the report that Mexican troops are being moved to the Guatemalan frontier is correct but that the government main tains that such action has no particular significance at this time.
 No word was received here from the Mexican minister in Guatemala in sev- eral days.

 ing the Rest of the Train and Many
 Lives.

GOVERNORS PARTY BACK
 FROM JAMESTOWN FAIR
CONNECTICUT ENTERPRISE AND IDEALS PRAISED BY SOUTH
 ERN GOVERNORS.

Connecticut Has the Only Completed
 State Building--NIade the Best Show-
 ing of All the States--Number Pres-
 ent Same as That Which Landed ut
 Jamestown With Captain John Smith
 Half of Connecticut Party Paid
 Their own FareS--WoodruR's Hdstar-
 icaI Address.
 Governor Rollin S. Woodruff and the Connecticut party arrived in this city yesterday about noon from Jamestown, Va, where they have been to partici- pate in the dedication and opening up of the Connecticut building. All the members Of the party are enthusiastic over the trip. No mishap befen the party either going or coming and with the exception of being a couple of hours late in arriving at Jamestown on1 Thursday night everything went off according to schedule.
 There has been some misapprehen- sion about the Connecticut party and reports have been spread that the state would be called upon to bear the ex- pense of the whole party. This was denied by Executive Secretary Charles D, Julin, last night MT. Julin stated that more than half of the party went unofficially and paid their own fare. The state bears the expense for only the members of the governors official family.
 The large number who went in the Connecticut party officially, unofflcially and independently made it possible for Connecticut to make a showing which was unequaled by any other state ex- cept Virginia and caused favorable comment among state delegations, both north and south. Gov. Warfield of Maryland, made the remark that 1t was another example of Connecticut enterprise.
 Col l. M. Ullman was called up by telephone last night and asked about the trip. He said that 1t was a great success and that every one was de- lighted with the experience.
 Executive Secretary Julin was very enthusiastic. He said: Every one seemed to make a great deal of Con- necticut and we were welcomed with open arms. The governors of the south joined in saying that they considered Connnecticut good and helpful frie1rSss of the progressive south. The ConnecSS ticut building is the talk of the ex- position. The word is Have you seen the Connecticut building? Another noteworthy fact is that it is the only state building that is completed with the exception of the Virginia building. It is furnished completely with colonial furnishings which have been loaned by different families in the state"
 With regard to the exposition as a whole MT. Julin said "The plan is superb. The buildings are all on the colonial style of architecture. Of course everything is not in good working orr der as yet. The work was handicapped by the 3elay in the government appro- priation so that even the government piers where it was intended to land much material were very much delay ed Among the states, Connecticut was the first to make an appropriation and that is why she was able to have the building ready in time, It will be a number of weeks before everything is working smoothly there."

TAFT SPEAKS AT DAYTON, 0.
ADDRESSES I. 1T. c. 4. AT LAYING
 OF CORNER STONE.

Pays Tribute to Religious and Business
 Methods of tie MOvement-Need of
 Its Influence Among Americans in
 the Tropics-Often Tempted to m-
 toxicants Because of the Lack of
 Amusement.
 Dayton O., April 2S.-secretary of War William II. Taft arrived in this city to-day from Cincinnati.
 Luncheon awaited the secretary's ar rival and the succeeding time was em- ployed greeting people and evading questions bearing upon political topics.
 The cornerstone of the new Young Mems Christian association building was laid this afternoon, Mir Taft mak- ing the principal address and formally placing the relic box in the crypt pre- pared for It.
 The secretary's address dealt mainly with the growth and purpose of the Young Mems Christian association.
 Secretary Taft paid a tribute to the religious and business methods of the r. M. c. A., reviewed the acquisition of the friar lands in the Philippines, and in connection with the friar lands continued.
 T venture to think that fifty years ago the motives of the government and of the president would have been mis- understood or misconstrued egard that as one striking instance of the greater brotherhood that now exists between the great Christian denomina- tions--a brotherhood that finds no more eloquent proof than in the continued prosperity and growth in influence and power of the Young Mems Christian association which dedicates this build ing to-day"
 He said that army officers in the United States and in Porto Rico and the Philippines had been en1oned to facilitate the efforts of the association in every proper way, and he testified that excellent results were being achieved,
 He pointed out that even staid and upright men of good habits at home often yielded, when in the tropics to the temptation to drink and otherwise dlssipate. This was due in a measure,o Q he thoufht, to the fact that, there were few places of amusement, the libraries were insufficient and home surround ings were lacking
 Nothing contributes more to the support of the views of opponents of our plans of progress than the presence in Manila and other cities and towns of dissolute Americans whose example iS anything but edlfying, and who form an object lesson to enforce the claim made by our opponents that there is nothing of value in American civiliza- tion for them to follow. Their people are generally temperate people, as most tropical peoples are, while north ern people in the tropics are not infre- quently given to intemperance.
 Now, the way to avoid this is to furnish a place in which the leisure hours of Americans in these dependen- ries can be passed in rational, elevating and moral pursuits and entertainments, The Young Mems Christian association is one of the most effective instruments to this end that we have

CARDINALS DISAGREE
Delay in the Removal of the Remains
 of Pope Leo.

Rome, April 2S.--The Messengero says the reason for the delay in the trans portation of the remains of Pope Leo to the Church of St. John the Lateran, is due to disagreement among Cardi- nals Agliardi Satolli, Rampolla and Merry del Val, who form the commit tee having the transfer in charge, some of them wishing to have the function entirely private and the others of a semi-official character. The objection to the latter proposal is that the varti- can would be compelled to request the assastance of the Italian government in maintaining order so as to avoid a repetition of the scenes of 1881 during the removal of the body of Pope Plus TX.

BOND THEFT CONSPIRACY
VALUE OF SECURITIES STOLEN
 CONTINUES TO GROW.

900, as First Stated, Were Found in
 the Possession of Dennett at the
 Manhattan Club.
 New York, April 2S.--Further details of the bond robbery of the Trust Com pany of America, learned yesterday, show that the total value of securities taken by W. c. Douglass, the assistant bond clerk, and hypotheeated by Oliver M. Dennett and others supposed to have been in the scheme, was nearer $S00,000 than S5OO,OOO. Of this amount $SOO,0O0, found in the possession of Dennett at the Manhattan club.
 It developed that most of the bonds on which money was realized were hy- pothecated for not more than one-third of their face value
 It seems that the present loss of the trust company is $165, GOO, not $40 1000, as has been inferred from the statement of President Thorne that the maximum could not exceed the latter figure. He was figuring on getting the $25,000 for which Douglass was bonded as a par tial reimbursement, Of the $165,000, $lO2OOO represents cash taken out of the company's vaults to redeem secur- ities by paying to various brokers what they had lent on them. The remaining S63 000 represents bonds still in the hands of brokers.
