a tightly barred stateroom on the steamer Dag
hestan which tied up ar the Erie Basin. not
caught it is likely that the agents will have to pay
a fine of $500. The Daghestan got in yesterday
from Genoa and other Italian ports. and when
nearing port the three stowaways who are boys.
were put under lock and key and a guard was
stationed at the door.
AS If by magic. the boys broke and slid

got ashore. They were seen by a watchman on

II is thought that they are now safely hidden
away in the Italian colony in South Brooklyn

for Recent Plot.

to-day Of the Imprisonment and sentencing TO
death OF nineteen men charged with completely
IN the recent attempt to assassinate President
Cabrera Of Guatemala The following telegram
has been received from DR.. Rodrigues PARA,
MeXican Consul at Guatemala City, who has
been acting charge d'affaires since the de-
parture OF Minister Gamboa:
The authors of the plot to assassinate Cabrera
committed suicide day before yesterday while
the Guatemalan officials were in the act of ar
resting them Despite this fact, the council Of
war yesterday passed upon the testimony of
nineteen persons charged with being suspected
accomplices in the crime and sentenced them
all 10 death. Among the doomed men are two
!taiahs, one Spaniard one Belgian and two
MeXCans
The diplomatic corps met day and decided
that each minister accredited to the Guatemalan
government should ask President Estrada Ca
brera for an annulment of the sentences which,
they allege, were the result of Irregularities and
false testimony; and if this action on their part
does not bring immediate results, the diplomatic
corps will direct collective note to President
cabrera tomorrow. All the members of the
corps We're in accord with the decision reached.
there being not a single dissenting voice
The situation is considered by Mexican officers
TO be grave, but there is a prevailing opinion
that if the pressure from foreign powers be-
comes sufficiently great. Cabrera will pardon all
the men doomed to death, thus endeavoring to
disprove the stories of his alleged atrocities
which have been sent broadcast. A high officer
said that the greatest care would be taken by
those to whom Mexican interests were intrusted,
as an unguarded word might have serious re-
suits. He continued:
This last act of Cabrera will convince doubt
ing Ihomases among the nations of the world
or MeXico's great forbearance in this great
crisis In just twenty days after the alleged
attempt was made on the life OF President Ca
prera three men killed themselves rather than
submit to arrest, and nineteen are sentenced 10
he shot. Is IT within the limits OF reason that
falr 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.
This government will await the reply of Ca
brera TO the joint note of the diplomats which
VIII be signed not only by the representatives
Of the four powers directly concerned but by
every accredited diplomat in the Guatemalan
capital
And if Cabrera's should be unsatis-
factory" he was asked.
ut is too serious matter TO speculate on"
