SELMA MoURNs MORGAN.
Wnl Be Laid to Rest Next to Vice
 President King.

Selma, June 13.-(speciai. )-It has been definitely settled that the funeral services over the remains of the late John T. Morgan will take place at noon Saturday. This hour was finally fixed after an exchange of sev- eral telegrams with his daughter, Miss Mary Morgan, by Hon. L.. E. Jeffries and Hon. W. B. Craig, who were ap- pointed at the citizens meeting held yesterday afternoon to ascertain if they could get her consent to have the burial services take place later in the day.
 In her first telegrams to Mir. Jefyries on Wednesday, Miss Morgan mentioned 12 o'clock as the hour for the services and that they should be held at the Church Street Methodist Church. Rea- sons of a private nature probably caus- ed her to adhere to her original plans and the funeral services will be held according to her wishes.
 R. B. Creagh. Travelling Passenger Agent of the Southern Railway here, was advised this morning by w. H. Taylor, General Passenger Agent of that system with headquarters in Washington, that the remains of Sen ator Morgan will leave that city tonight. They will be brought to Selma on a special train running as a second section to No. 37. The train will consist of a baggage car, diner and two sleepers and will go from Washington to Atlanta and Montgomery. From Montgomery it will be run as an extra over the Vest ern of Alabama to this city.
 The telegram to Mir. Creag stated that. besides six or eight members of Senator Morgan's family, there would hA fhn fn ahnpt t-t pie who were escorting the remains to Selma. The committee of Selmians, who were appointed at the citizens meeting yesterday afternoon to meet the remains and escort them here, will probably leave tomorrow afternoon for Atlanta or Montgomery to meet the special train and return with the par ty.

 In January he was elected for the sixth successive term, together with his distinguished colleague, Edmund w. Pettus But the Legislature of the State, considerate of the two distin- guished Senators. passed a resolution, declaring 1t unnecessary for them to make the exhausting trip from Wash ington to Montgomery to deliver the customary address of thanks and &C., ceptance.

WAR IMMINENT BETWEEN GEN..
TRIAL AMERICAN REPusLlcs.
GUATEMALA IS TO TAKE TIE LEAD
First Attack VIII Be on Armies Of
Nicaragua Within
81 Few Days. As

Mexico City-According to reports.
received In government circles here,
war involving four OF the Central
American republics will begin with.
gin with very short time, Guatemala.
Is expected to open hostilltles with an
attack on the armies OF Nicaragua.
When the fighting becomes general
Salvador and Guatemala will be ar.
rayed against Honduras and Nlcara-
gau.
This is regarded as the first overt
act In the movement headed by Presi-
dent Cabrera Of Guatemala to form
federation, OF Central American
states. This movement Is backed by
President Escalon OF Salvador. and
Ia said to have the moral support or
the United States government.
The plan contemplated includes the
elevation OF Cabrera 10 the presidency
OF the federation and originally In
cluded the retention OF the presidents
OF the other republics as governors OF
the different states. II Is now
thought that should the federation b
formed, the loss Of prestige suffered
by President Bonilla Of Honduras and
President Zelaya OF Nicaragua, will
result in their overthrow.
II has been generally supposed that
the people OF all four OF the republics
are in favor OF the establishing OF the
federation. Should this be true. the
disloyalty OF the armies of Nicaragua
and Honduras may greatly handicap
the presidents Of those countries and
make the overthrow OF the govern
ments an easy matter for the com
bined opposing forces.
The struggle threatens to be the
fiercest the Central American states
have seen In years.
The immediate cause of the strained
relations is an old boundary dispute
between Nicaragua and Guatemala.
Mutual charges are also made Of the
harboring OF political refugees.
