SPRING ST STABBANG
IDiured Not in COurt-Accused
 Bound Over Under $500.

Another stabbing affray took place
 last evening, this time on Spring street. Rocco Lucia, Joseph and Leonardo Suma, Domenic Samell and John Galliceki were in court to-day charged with breach of the peace. The trouble originated in the saloon of Angelo Lucia on Spring street, and its cause is said to have been some occurrence that took place years ago in Italy.
 Knives were freely used. William Suma of Jeffrey alley, got bad cut under the left arm. Lucia was also cut, in fact there were so many injur- ed that the police have not been able to put the threads of the respective pieces of evidence together yet. In a very short time Officers Kiersted. Grady, Madden and Cutting were on hand and took the above named five into custody after some trouble, the crowd was so large and the excite ment so intense. Everybody seemed to be yelling, those who were cut as we'll as those who were not.
 ouiAcb " oo yClllA6 oo AAoSh thelt some feared he had been injured fat ally. He was taken to an adjacent stable and Dr Donahue sent for. He found the man was badly cut under the arm pit, but not fatally.
 Lucia was arrested at his home on Bishop street by Officer Halpin and Suma was found to have in his posses sion club the looks of which would be enough to quell any disturbance. It was over foot long and on one end was a long brass knob loaded with lead. There was the regulation strap at the other end. A blow from it would be enough to crack a big cohble stone.
 The case may be tried tomorrow if the injured are able to attend court.
 The accused were held under bail of S300

A PATHETIC LETTER
MiSsive Came Alter Father Died
 at Br0Okside Home.

The most pathetic letter delivered
 in Waterbury during the Christmas
 time came here from Hartford ad- dressed to George Kuluski, who died at the Brookside home during the 1 present week. It was written by n,s little daughter Eva, who wished him a happy Christmas and made many inquiries in childish way about how he was getting along. She also reminded him that mother was home and they were getting along well. In closing she remarked that if he was not yet dead to wait until next sum- mer and they will remove here and take him out in the fields where ne would get plenty of fresh air while she would be picking apples. The letter never reached the person for whom it was intended, the patient being called away shortly before it reached here. It is very touching letter and in many ways proved the truth of the old adage that one-half the world don't know how the other half lives. Just think of that man on the eve of Christmas, preparing to pass into the unknown world with out soul beside him whom he knew while his wife and children were but a few miles distant. This may have been his own fault, but even so, that would render his suffering all the more intense. In any case it is safe to say that his thoughts reverted to happier days and it is not at all un- reasonable to believe that he would have given all he ever saw in money to have little Eva and her mother nearby when he felt the icy hand of death upon him.

STATE OFFICIALS
 WATCH MOVEMENT
GREAT CONFUSION IN GUATE- MALA OVER REGENT ATTACK ON THE LIFE OF PRESIDENT ABRERA-BRoWN REPORTS.

Washington. D. C., May 27.-The state department officials are watching with interest developments in Guatemala, where great confusion exists as the re- suit of the recent attack on the life of President Cabrera. wild panic appears to have seized upon the government of that country and arrests have been made by the wholesale of persons suspected of complicity in the attempted assassina- ton. Senor Canto, who was for some time Chilean consul general at Guate- mala, and who has just been transferred to a similar position in London, called upon Secretary Root today and described at length the deplorable condition of af- fairs in Guatemala.
 Phillip Brown, the American charge, and secretary of legation at the Guate- malan capital, has reported to the state department by cable upon the events connected with President Cabrera's eff forts to punish the instigators of the attack and also to crush the incipient rebellion which threatens the country.
 Mr Brown joined the other members of the diplomatic body in Guatemala City in a protest directed to Cabrera against the proposed execution of no less than nineteen persons who had been arrested by the police in connection with the at tempted assassination. While he was op- posed to interference. in his statement he said tbat a number of foreigners were included in the accused and condemned list one being an American. Secretary Root today cabled him the permission necessary to use his influence in behalf of the prisoners. It is feared that the execution of any of the foreigners upon the evidence convicting will result in intervention, which might result in un- pleasant complications.
