Guatemala City, May 4.-Another mine containing many pounds of dynamite was discovered on Seventh avenue, in front of the building occupied by the regiment called the Guard of Honor. and not far from the residence of President Cabrera today.

Wlnchesters Used at Mexican Light house-Guatemala Refuses to Give Up Lima-ReIatlons May
 Be Severed.

Panama, May 4--According to private advces received here from Guatemala City there is reason to believe that the political situation there is critical, and extraordinary developments are expected. The fact that strict censorship has not been relaxed is taken by those who know as an indication that the government ex- poets trouble. There would appear to be determined purpose to suppress Presi- dent Cabrera by any means and the Guatemala City plot may be followed by other evidences of the popular hatred against the president of the republic.

 City of Mexico, May 4.--Guatemala has refused to comply with the request of the Mexican government that Jose Maria Lima and Col. Onofre Boree, charged with compliclty in the assassination of Gen.

The cabinet is now in session, and 1t is said that the ministers are de- batting the advisabillty of immediately severing diplomatic relations with Guate- maia
 Attack on Mexlcans.
 Telegrams received in Mexico City from Salina Cruz late this afternoon tend to confirm report from Vera Cruz to the effect that the Guatemalans had made an attack upon the Mexican light house at San Benito on the west coast about eigh- teen miles from the Guatemalan port of Ocos. Telegrams from Salina Cruz state the same rumor is current there regarding the attacks on the light house, and that the report there even goes to the extent of naming some of the Mexicans upon whom the assault was made. The men named are Antonio Engtolo and Alberto Miranda. The last named was, according to the report, severely wounded.
 The attacking force, it is said, was much greater than those who defended the lighthouse and Winchesters were brought into play. At the state depart ment and the Guatemalan legation noth- ing is known of the reported attack.
 After protracted session the cab inet adjourned, but although an at tempt was made to interview each minister, no one would speak. It is believed that an agreement was reached between each of the cabinet ministers not to talk at this time. Minister of Foreign Affairs Mariscal, however, said that a statement of the position of the Mexican government might be forthcoming tomorrow. He added that no decision was reached during tonight's meeting.

Letter to Sister.

The other letter read as follows:
 Friday, May g. Dear Sister-I left for Ithica tonight but decided to take my body down to you in New York. in order that l might be cremated. You will attend to that for me. If you have any difficulty call on my old friend De L., who will assist you.
 "I am going down the river enjoying the prospect of going out to sea. The ashes l leave behind may be disposed of al present as the others prefer, but event ually you will take them to Eastlawn and do not permit any public services of any sort anywhere. If the immediate fam fly want private services B----, let 1t be so. but have no one else.
 T was never so glad to rest in my life. We must be quiet and live so I've been thinking all the way down the river of some ones lines:
 Sweet after toll is sleep; Then wherefore sorrow for him who
 sleeps
 And will not wake tomorrow?
 Goodbye. I don't want you or any of the others to be troubled about this I've really postponed 1t often on account of others, but this time l am doing it. After all, in the end, one must have his own way of escape. You must stay and do what is necessary. Affectlonately.

 Paced the Deck.
 The De L.' mentioned in the letter Is believed to be F. A. De Lima, a merchant of this clt't.
 Huffcutt boarded the Morse at Albany yesterday evening. As soon as the boat started down the river he went to his stateroom. The appearance of the room indicates that he lay for time on tho couch. He appeared in the main salon shortly before midnight and was seen later on the upper deck, pacing back and forth in the rain.
 Governor Hughes was greatly affected by the death. The two men had been close friends for many years and the governor said he is completely at loss to account for Huffcutts tragic act, ex- cept that 1t might have been the result of overwork.
 'I saw Mir Huffcutt yesterday fore noon," said the governor, "and at that time he appeared to be in perfect con dition. He had always been a very hard worker, however and it is possible that this had brought on q condition which resulted in his deplorable death. I knew MT. Huffcutt very well for many years and always regarded him as q man of brilliant attachments and one of the abIest men of his profession in the state ' MT.

Christ.

Speaking at the recent Southport
convention, DR.. Campbell Morgan en-
phasized the mysterious fact that our
Divine Lord was "straitened by the
men by whom He was surrounded,
and limited geographically" and he
went on to remark that in the Acts
Christ was no longer straitened, lin
tied, or localized; and the right way
to read that book is to read 1t al
ways looking for the Christ. 1t is
the first record in human history of
Christ as He moved out of limited
and straitened conditions into those
that were unlimited and unstraitened.
The Acts is the revelation for all time
of the forces at mans disposal, and
the perils he needs 10 avoid.
BY way of personal application, DR..
Campbell Morgan added:
Is Christ paralyzed in me? Is He
unable in my home. my business, my
church, to do anything because of me,
and what l am in life? If | am wrong
myself, l injure others, and hinder

Automobile Wells.

1t is nothing less than fine art to
rrange in a graceful manner the i'm
mense chiffon wells now worn with
the motor toque. The actual width
of the new striped chiffon is three
yards BY two wide. The veil enfold-
ing the crown OF the hat is caught
up in loops at the back, and in such
manner becomes a species of curtain.
while the ends are drawn loosely
around to the front and tied in a

the back the veil performs similar
r services to the hair in a grace
full cascaded arrangement, which
shows to advantage the full effect
of the broad silk border.

Appearance and Reality.

Some people are rusty. Their
harsh, ungainly manners eat out what
is good in their character, and saw
the very flesh of those who come near
them. Some people are gilt. A very
brilliant exterior they present; but
the first brush of hard using rubs on
the Citing, and reveals the base metal
beneath. A third class are polished.
The polish, indeed, is on the surface;
but it is a polish Of solid worth, and
in the m%ultifarious crosses Of human
life, the more it is rubbed the brighter
it grows.-Rev. w. Arnot.

The Greatest Man.

William c. Claiming paid a high
tribute to the common people when
he said: The greatest man is he who
chooses the right with invincible res
olution; who resists the sorest temp
tations from within and without; who
bears the heaviest burdens cheerfully;
who is calmest in storms and most
fearless under menace and frowns;
whose reliance on truth, on virtue,
on God, is most unfaltering. l be-
lieve this greatness to be most COM
mon among the multitude, whose
names are never heard"

Jails Not Needed.

A peculiar problem is being dis
cussed in the Province of Prince EG-
ward Island. The suggestion has
been made that one Jail centrally sit
uated is ample to meet all the nee1s.
The plan heretofore has been a
Jail in each county, but oftentimes
it has happened that all of them haze
been empty, and it never happens
that any of them are full. The Char
Iottetown Guardian points out that
the percentage Of population that is
criminal is the smallest in Prince
Edward Island of any province in
Canada, and therefore there is no
need for a prison in each county.
Recently the Jail in Summerside
was burned down. In one of the
other counties the building is in a
dilapidated condition. 1t is not like
ly, therefore, that either of these
will be rebuilt, but one prison will
serve all the needs of the province.
This is a striking tribute to the
benefits of the prohibitory law. If
barroom accommodation is increased
prison accommodation must also be
Increased. Where barroom accom-
mediation is reduced prisons become
less necessary.
In Prince Edward Island there are
no barrooms and therefore no prison
ers for the jails.

Blouse Sleeves With Over Sleeves.

That the sleeve often determines
the style Of the garment is a we'll es-
tablished fact and just now when SO
many Of the fancy sorts are being
seen the statement is peculiarly true.
Here are three different styles of the
over sleeves that can be utilized either
with the blouse sleeves illustrated OF
with those already in the bodice, and
which are absolutely up to date, so
that they can be relied upon to give a
fresh touch to any gown that is to be
remodeled as we'll as to serve for the
new ones. The blouse sleeve is ap-
propriate for every thin material, and
there are three styles OF over sleeves.
In the Illustration the circular over
sleeve is made Of plain material
trimmed with applique and lace trills
while it is worn over embroidered
muslin; the full over sleeve is made OF
silk with trimming OF applique, ana
is worn over a plain lingerie material,
while the band sleeve is a bit more
elaborate and is made OF SILK ana ap-
piioue with the full sleeve beneath or
a fancy net. But the possibilities OF
the models are almost limitless. Both
the circular and full over sleeve are
adapted to almost every seasonaDle
material, and the band sleeve can De
treated in innumerable ways. 1t can
be made plain or it can be trimmed
with banding of any kind or embrold-
cry can be worked onto the material
or lace or embroidered motifs can be
inset. 1t can be made to match the
gown itself or of the trimming mate
rial. and is so constructed that 1t can
be used with almost any bodice.
The blouse sleeve is made in one
piece, simply full and gathered into a
straight band or cuff. Both the plain
and the full over sleeves are in one
piece each, but the plain n is with
out fulness at the shoulder while the
full n is gathered at that point. The
band sleeve also is in one piece, but
is arranged over both sleeve and
waist, whereas the two former are
Joined to the armholes together with
the blouse sleeve.
