War Not Likely.

Hence the officials view with appre-
hension the increasing friction be-
tween Mexico and Guatemala, and there
are frequent conferences at the State
Department, the last being to-day, be-
tween Secretary Root, Assistant Secre-
tary Bacon and Ambassador Creel, OF
Mexico. in the pursuit of common
purpose to avoid fresh outbreak of
war.
1T is feared that Mexico's demand for
Lima Will ultimately be refused by
Guatemala. But even in that event
war might not follow. The Mexican
troops that have been modified on thu
Guatcmalan frontier to the number of
10000 would be retained there and di-
plomatic relations of the two countries
would be terminated, but there would
be no declaration of war and hostile
acts on the part of Mexico so long as
there was no fresh provocation By
Guatemala.
The situation might be terminated
either by the breaking out of a. revo-
luton directed against the Cabrera
government or by the decision of the
latter to yield to the Mexican demand
for Limas eXtradition. The Guatema-
lans assert that a very active juntd
exists in Mexico with the object of
financing and starting a revolution in
Guatemala against the existing gov
eminent, and 1t is pointed out that
General Barillas was assassinated be-
cause he was head of that junta.
1T is said at the State Department
that nothing can be done now by this
government TO relieve the friction be-
tween Mexico and Guatemala and the
officials must contest themselves with
anXiously watching developments.
