Cabrera Slain, Mexican Report.

President Cabrera of Guatemala,
was assassinated Sunday, according
to private dispatches received in the
City of Mexico. While the report
has not been confirmed, there is good
ground for the belief, in as much as
a conspiracy has been on foot for
months with the killing of Cabrera in
view.
There is also a report here that
there is conspiracy on foot to unite
the FIVE Central American states of
Costa RIGA, Guatemala, Honduras
Nicaragua and San Salvador under
one government, with President ].
Santos Zelaya of Nicaragua as the
temporary head. The Mexican gov
eminent and the Pan-American Rail
way company are backing the
scheme, and official Washington is
said to be fully aware of the plans
but is winking at it all.
Zelaya, with his army of 10000
men, last March 25 routed the COM
bined armies of Salvador and Hon
duras at Tegucigalpa, the Hondurar
capital, and President Manuel Bon.
lila fed from Honduras with what
money he could seize.
That war is said to have started
with a dispute about the theft of
mule by Nicaraguan cavalrymer
iron a Honduran, but the outbreak
|of hostilities is said to have been
only a cloak for the great scheme
to unite the states into one, SO as to
wrest from their stores of mineral
wealth and to build railroad that
will make it possible to. reach the
listhmus of Panama from New York
lby rail.
