a Queer Coincidence.
While serial story was running in
a certain magazine lady in Johannes
burg wrote to the publisher asking
whether Christian Lys (the authors
nom de plume) was assumed or not
She herself was Mrs. Lys, who was
trying to trace an ancestor Of her late
husband, who was a descendant of
Joan Of Arc. Mr.. Bfebner, the author
in question, wrote assuring her that
his pen name was a family one, his
forbears having come from Aberdeen.
Strangely enough, it came out that her
family came also from Aberdeen and
their name was Brebner-Pall Mall

.Yerk--WIlIIsm c. Douglass, Bond
Clerk, Now Under Arrest.
New York, April sO.--The big
bond robbery in which the Trust com
pany Of America was the victim, con
tinues an absorbing subject in the
financial district where every deyel-
opment Is eagerly scrutinized.
The robbery, at first put down as
$50 600 affair, has steadily grown un-
I'll today It appears that securities ag-
gregating $500 200 In value have been
taken by William o. Douglass the
bond clerk. now under arrest. These
figures are reached as the result OF
an interview given by a member OF
the executive committee OF the Trust
company who said that II took s165,
900 to redeem the securities hyDothe-
Gated with brokers for loans by o.
M bennett, who Is under arrest in
connection with the robbery. and that
The. securities were pledged for less
Shan one-third OF their value. He
also said that II was $500. 900 and not
$40 600 worth Of securities that we're
hidden in Broker Dement'S bed at the
Manhattan club
Taken at the executive committee
mans own estimate, that Douglas
and bennett realized only a particles
than a third on the average Il can be
seen that the si65. 600 that the trust
company has lost on the outstanding
securities represented value OF near
~ $500. 600 Adding ~ $500 600
found in the bed OF Broker bennett
makes $500 900.
What has become OF the money
Douglass aud bennett raised, Is un-
explained The trustee who talked
Sunday said that while ne was OF the
opinion that much OF this had been
lost IN speculation. he felt sure that
the pair he'd snug sum tucked away
somewhere.

American and Mexican Legations Are
Stoned IN custemaIan City.

Mexico City, April SO.-The most
extreme indignation. and wild excite
ment have been caused here by the
report that the American and Next
can legations in Guatemala City have
been stoned by mob Of several hun
dred men, 1nstlgated to the act by
agents of President Manuel Estrada
Cabrera, OF Guatemala. There is
evidently strong inclination to give
credence 10 the report, and no official
denial has been made. though the
federal authorities refuse TO confirm
1t. Mexican troops are being mo-
bilized on the Guatemalan frontier,
which Is believed to be highly slgn1fi-
cant. though the war department has
stated that the mobilization of troops
is nothing more than a move to insure
strict neutrality, and to protect Mex
lean interests against any remote dan
ger from irresponsible marauding
bands The modified forces In the
south will be under command Of Brig
adler General Antonio r. Flores, d.
rectly assigned TO the duty by the war
department. lie will be aided by
Captain of Engineers Malas, who has
already left here for the isthmus of

GENERAL JOSE LIMA
MAY Be EXTRADlTED
Statement Of Assassins May
Cause Action.
REQUEST WAS MADE BY MEXICO
That Government Has Asked for the
Extradltlon Ia Order that the Gen
eral May Be Brought to Mexico to
Face Certain Charges.

City of Mexico, April 30--As re-
suit OF the statements Of Morales and
Mora, the two assasslns OF General
Barrillas. duplicating General Jose Lii
ma in the murder of Barrilas, the
Mexican government has asked Guat-
emala for the extraditon of General
Lima in order that he may be brought
here to be confronted with the acou-
sations made.
Requisiiion papers have been made
out for onofere Bone, commandant
of the Guatemalan port Of San Jose,
the man who, In the confessions and
statements made to the police here.
is named as the one who assisted the
assassins In leaving San Jose for
Mexico, when The latter came here
with, according 10 their statements,
the premeditated purpose Of murder
ing, not only General Barillas, but
General Salvador Toledo as well.
This action is said to have been
taken Immediately after special
meeting OF the members Of the cab
met with president Dlaz last Thurs
day and the Mexican government is
now anxiously awaiting the reply from
President Estrada Cabrera, of the
government Of Guatemala.
General Lima is a general OF divi-
sion, In the Guatemalan army, and
is said to be one of Cabrera's favor
ties in the government service. and
the character Of the reply from Pres-
dent Estrada Cabrera is a matter for
much speculation ia unofficial circles
In this city.
According 10 the statements made
by both the assasins, Morales and his
accomplioe, Mora, who have been in
the custody OF the Mexican police
since the night Of the murder Of GEN
eral Barrlllas, It was General Lima
who suggested to Mora that he (Mo-
ra) find a man 20 come to Mexico 10
commit this crime and to kill General
lOledO as We'll.
The request for extradition Is said
to have been made under the treaty
OF 1895. between Mexico and Guate-
mals, whereby each country agreed TO
reciprocate In the extradition Of COM
mon criminals. Men accused Of po-
litlcal crimes are exempted. While
the assassination Of Barrillas Is gem
orally considered 70 be OF a political
nature. the actual murder Is a COM
mon crime with no political signif-
canoe and punishable under the penal
laws Of Mexico. In official circles
here II il considered highly improb-
able that President Cabrera will hand
over General Lima. How he will get
out OF doing this without seriously Of
Tending Mexico, Is question that Is
causing much discussion.
