In accomplishing the wreck of the

dent Cabrera of Guatemala Sentenced
to be Shot-Sentence Were Based
Upon False Testimony.

Mexico City Especially News was
received here of the Imprisonment
and sentencing to death of 19 men
charged with completely in the re-
cent attempt to assassinate President
Cabrera, of Guatemala.
The following telegram has been
received from DR.. Rodrigues Para,
Mexican consul at Guatemala City,
who is acting as charge d'affaires
since the departure of Minister Gam
boa:
The author of the plot to as
sassinato Cabrera committed suicide
while the Guatemalan officials were
in the act of arrestipg him. De-
spite this fact the Council of War
passed upon the testimony of 19
persons charged with being sus-
pected accomplices in the crime and
sentenced them all to death. Among
the doomed are two Italians, one
Spaniard, one Belgian and two Mex
leans.
THE diplomatic corps met and
decided that each minister accredited
to the Guatemalan government should
ask President Estrada Cabrera for
an annulment of the sentences which,
they allege, were the result of irreg
ularities and false testimony, and,
IL this action on their part does not
bring immediate results, the dipIo-
matte corps will direct collective
note to President Cabrera. All the
members of the corps were in ac-
cord with the decision reached, there
1NTAr ,<xf ..4.. t.
The situation is considered by
Mexican officers to be grave, but
there is a prevailing opinion that if
the pressure from foreign powers
becomes sufficiently great Cabrera
will pardon all the men doomed TO
death, thus endeavoring to nullify
the stories Of his alleged atrocities
which have been sent broadcast A
high officer said that the greatest
care would be taken by those in
trusted with guarding Mexican in
terests, for an unguarded word
might have serious results. He con-
tinued:
This last act of Cabrera's will
convince doubling Thomases among
the nations of the world of Mexico's
great forbearance in this great crisis.
In just 20 days after the alleged at
tempt was made on the life of Pres
ident Cabrera three men killed them
selves rather than submit to arrest
and 10 are sentenced to be shot. Is
is within the limits of reason that
fair trials could have been given
these men? Mexico thinks not, and
we will not stand quietly by and see
two citizens shot in such a summary
manner"

CREMATED IN FURNACE.
Five Men Lose Their Lives in Pitts.

Pittsburg, Pa. (Special). - Two
Americana, well known millmen, and
three foreigners were cremated and
four foreigners were seriously burn
ed when an explosion occurred at
the Eliza Furnace No. /, of the
Jones & Laughlin Steel Company,

the furnace when the accident hap

uniniured.
The names of the four foreigners
who were injured are not known.
They were hurried to a hospital hor-
rlbly burned.
The accident occurred without
moments warning. The 10 men
were about ready to draw off the
molten metal when the ore slipped,
falling to the bottom Of the furnace.
The heavy weight of the ore forced
the gas with terrific pressure through
the first dust-catcher which was un-
able to stand the strain, and, there
fore, burst.
A tremendous roar accompanied
the breaking of the d,lst-catcher
and before the menscould escape they
were caught by the flames. Will
lard, West and the three foreigners
were directly in front of the fur
mace. The five other men were back
several yards.
For fully 10 minutes the flames
shot out before the furnace for a
great distance, and when finally the
gas was turned off only few bones
of the five men were found.
The four injured men were caught
by the first fash and severely burn
ed, but were able to escape before
they fell to the ground writhing in
agony.

force of the explosion.

two of the most prominent furnace
men in the country. They were ex-
