WHEAT OUTLOOK POOR

SOFIA. Nav 31.-The prospects Of this
wears wheat harvest in the Balkan

ter of extraordinary length and severity
was followed by a prolonged drought
with almost midsummer heat. The
usual spring rains have not fallen.
In Remnants the outlook is even more
gloom. especially in the Wallachian
plain. It is calculated that 40 per cent
of the autumn-sown wheat has failed.

CABRERA IS DYING
PRESIDENT OF GUATEMALA IS
 NEAR HIS END.
Suffering from an Attack of Blood Poisoning Which Followed the
 Extraction of Tooth.

Mexico City. June 2o.-President T. Estrada Cabrera of Guatemala is dy- ing.
 This startling statement was made tonight by Jose D. Gamez. who is In this city as the confidential agent of President Zelaya of Nicaragua. MT. Gamez claims to have received inform ation from an unquestioned source to tn effect that President Cabrera Is suffering from an attack of blood poisoning which followed the extrac- ton of a tooth. According to Mir. Gamez, President Cabrera has not left the executive mansion for eight days. and those in attendance at his bedside despair of his life.
 The greatest secrecy is maintained regarding his condition and the troops guard his residence and allow no one to come within four squares of the place.
 The report was further corroborated from another and entirely independent source when Spanish planter, who recently arrived in this caital from Guatemala. declared that Cabrera was fatally i'll from blood poisoning He said that this, is a measure, was be- lieved to account for some of the re- cent atrocities alleged to have been committed by Cabrera This man says that those who know, believe that Cabrera, realizing his condition, is wreaking vengeance on hls enemies. NothingA is known in official circles of Cabreras reported illness.

ALIBI ESTABLISHED
DAY JAILER TEsTIFIEs IN THE SHIPP CASE.
Captain George Brown Proved That He Was on North Side of River
 When Negro Was
 Lynched. FS

Chattanooga, June 20,-In the Sheriff shipp contempt case today, captainl George Brown. who was day jailer when the iynching of Ed Johnson oc- cured. and who is one of the most irn- portant of the defendants, was the main witness of the day. He was re- lieved in the evening by Night Jailer Jere Gibson. He stated positively that he was on the north side of river when about the testimony of Arthur Waller and declared he made no statement to John Roach or any other person that it looked warm outside" There was no cause for him to make any such statement and it did not look warm outside. He moved some prisoners the day of the lynching. The Sunday pre- vious some Jews had come in to see Fitzsimmons and the prisoner objected to their coming. There was a fight being made on Captain Shipp in the Third Ward and 1t was charged with showing Fitzsimmons special favors. For that reason it was thought best to remove Fitzsimmons to the regular cell from the hospital cell.
 Captain Brown said he was not at the jail the night of the lynching. The witness was asked if the transfer of Fitzsimmons was for political reasons and to make votes on the outside by the conduct of officers on the inside" He stated that the transfer was made under the orders of Fred Frawley, chief deputy. and that 1t was the result of fight being made on Captain Shipp In the Third Ward. He had heard criticism of the sheriff the night of the attempt to lynch Johnson. They were "cussing' about the sheriff pro- tecting the prisoner.
 Mir Sanford asked the witness if Bart Justice was one of those "cuss- ing" He was there, but not swear ing. The witness then stated that the deputies had a good part in pro- tecting the prisoner. The first mob wanted Westfield Jones. in jail for the murder of deputy sheriff, after they found that Johnson was gone.
 He told how he had staid at the door and how Mat Galloway had fought his way through the mob and came to his side. The witness said that the court house was guarded during the trial, but that Johnson was fin Nashville the day his trial began.
 It is apparent that Captain Brown has established an alibi. His case was concluded during the afternoon session and court adjourned to 10 o'clock to- morrow morning.

AoKI IN DISFAVOR
JAP AMBASSADOR HAS CLASH WITH
 ROOSEVELT.
Asked Indemnity From the Unifed ststes for the San Francisco
 Mob 0ptrages on
 Jnpanese.

Chicago, .June 2o.--A dispatch to The Record Herald from Washington says;
 Viscount Aoki, the Japanese Ambas. sador, has incurred President Roose- velt's strong dispieasure. because of his lack of delicaey and discretion in con ducting the negotiations relating to the San Francisco attacks on Japanese, Aoki's recall is due to three things: Being out of favor with President Roosevelt. marrying a German woman (which made him unpopular in his own country). and not getting full social recognition from the members of the diplomatic correspondents here.
 Before President Roosevelt left for Oyster Bay the Japanese Ambassador talked with him about the attacks on Japanese in California and about the destruction of their property. Aoki Automatically hinted that the United States should pay indemnity to the Japanese for the San Francisco mob outrage. President Roosevelt remained in silence and. mistaking this silence for acauiesence in the suggestion. the Ambassador made a definite proposi- tion that the United States pay an in- demnity.
 There was no mistaking the Presi- dents attitude then. He forclbly ex- pressed disapprovai of the proposition and dismissed the Ambassador with ad- vice to conduct his negotiations in fu- ture with the State Department
 Secretary Root was informed of the incident and immediately changed his demeanor toward the Japanese Ambas- sador. Since that time the intercourse between the two men has been cold and formal, only official matters being dis cussed when they met. Previously Secretary Root had been somewhat inn patient with Viscount Aoki because of his persistence in pressing trivial mat ters.
 When the Ambassador made his in- demhity proposition to Secretary Root he was told that Japanese have no more rights than American citizens have. The only redress Americans have Is to resort to the courts and sue for damages. But at the same time the Federal government urged the Governor of California to give ample police protection to the Japanese. This is now being done.

'In the case son trial the evidence of the State purports to come in part from one of the parties to the defense, That witness has stated that not only has he committed the crime here charged. but several others as well, and he Is relied on to show that the crimes were committed at the instance of this de- fendant and other defendants said to be the managing officers of the Wes- tern Federation of Miners.
 'The magazine offered in evidence appears to have been under the control of these officers. The court is con yinced that after showing the attitude of the organization and the attitude of the managing officers their animus and feeling toward those against whom the crimes were committed or attempted, certain of the publications cited by the State are admissible. The court will admit the articles bearing on former Governor Steunenberg, Governor Pea body. Judge Gabbert and Judge God dard and several others. As to the ar- ticles following the commission of any of these the court has some doubt and will resolve that doubt in favor of the defen dant..
