Sheriff Corley will undoubtedly
have the opportunity of putting to
death two of the most attrocious and
dastardly murderers ever condemned
to. die in this or any other State.
That he will do SO in a decent and
orderly manner is not doubted, for
he never does things by halves.

STORIES TOLD BY ExILES

AMERICAN SUPPORT CLAIMED
Overthrow of Zelaya and Davila
Planned-Plot Checked by

MEXICO CITY. July 20.-"EmigradOes'

time have taken up an enforced residence
in this capital, are q unit in declaring
that DIR. Herman Prove told the truth
regarding President Estrada Cabrera 8
contribution to the republican campaign
fund of 1904 in the United States. More
than dozen of them have been inter
viewed, and most of them expressed sur
prise when it was said that DIR. Prove s
statement was doubted. They declare
that the payment of the money to the
American minister was more or less Of an
open secret. and, whether the republican
campaign manager or the officers Of the
present administration know anything or
the matter or not. Cabrera does not for
get. for the promised support from the
United States did not come. This they
claim was demonstrated within the past
fortnight by the presence Of the United
States cruiser Albany at the Pacific Hon.
duran port of Amapala and Of the gun
boat Marietta at the Atlantic port or
Puertro Cortez. The emigradoes, who meet
here at frequent intervals. claim to have
received advices from what they char
acterize as an authoritative source to the
effect that Cabrera, after inveigling to his
support Figueroa in the revolution In
Honduras for the purpose of drawing
Zelaya into the conflict and then. over
throwing both him and Davis, was
to name their successors, and thus be-
come master of Central America in fact.
Americas Suppor; Claimed.
AS an argument to win over President
Figueroa. it is claimed Cabrera pointed
out that he had the United States assured
as his friend. He referred to the stand
taken by the former United States min
listers to Guatemala, naming Minister:
Hunter and Lee. He concluded, it is al
legged, by saying that Minister Hunter
was his friend. According to the emil
gradoes this argument completely Woi
over FiguerOa. When Figueroa asked
what part the republic of Mexico woulc
play i'll the matter it Is claimed that
Cabrera answered that an agreement be-
tween that country and the United States
existed by the teElns of which Mexico
agreed to follow ehe lead OF the United
States pertaining to Central America in
general and Guatemala in particular.
The only discrepancies in the stories
told by the emigradOes were regarding
the amount of the alleged contribution

CABRERA'S ALLEGED PLAN
FOR ZELAYA'S DOWNFALL
Arrival of Albany at Amapala
Checks the Plot.

PANAMA. July 20-Central Americans
who are now in Panama and who are
greatly interested in the situation brought
about by the revolutionary movement in
Honduras are convinced that the presi-
dents of several of the republics are in
volved in the affair. the ramifications Of
which reach far back.
According to one of the most prominent
of these Central Americans. President
Cabrera of Guatemala, following the last
conspiracy against his life, of which he
believed President Zelaya of Nicaragua tC
be the promoter. conceived plan for
Zelayas downfall. Fearing that without
aid he could not succeed in this, he en-
deavored to interest his neighbor, Presi-
dent Figueroa of Salvador. who had an
old grudge against Zelaya, whom he
charged with giving openly some time
ago men, arms and money TO DR. Pru-
dencia Alfaro for the purpose of invading
Salvador.
For a time President Fisueroa was un-
decided. but eventually Gen. Manuel Bo-
nilla, ex-president OF Honduras. who was
depOsed by the revolution promoted also
by Zelaya. appeared on the scene. He
recommended that they begin operations
by replacing him as President of Hondu-
ras this merely a preliminary step:
later all three republics-Honduras. Qua
temala and Salvador-he suggested. could
JOIN FORCES IN an attack upon NlcdraSua.
Prior to this. the Honduran confidential
envoy in Guatemala, Gen. Miguel o. Bus
tillO, had been imprisoned, it Is believed,
for the purpose of precipitating war with
Honduras. but the challenge remained un-
answered.
Zelaya's Activity.
Honduras, however, began preparations
and increased it's army by 10000 men,
placing strong guard along the frontiers
A revolutionary movement was then Or
dered by those who were endeavOring to
bring about change in the government of
Honduras, the revolutionistS invading that
country from the Guatemalan and Saliva
dorean frontiers. President Zelaya was
taken by surprise at the movement and
caught unprepared, but he Immediately
saw the peril to his government. I'm
doubtedly to help as much as possible the
HOnduran government, Zelaya increased
the Nicaraguan army. and placed arms in
the hands of SavadOrean refugees. among
whom were a number of prominent and
popular leaders, and quietly awaited de-
velopments.
President Figueroa, among whose quail
ties courage is not believed to be prOmi-
nent, knowing that only spark would
start a powerful revolutionary fire in his
dominions, was alarmed at the determined
action of Honduras and Nicaragua, and
refused to further aid the revolutionists
in Honduras. In the meantime the heads
of both Honduras and Nicaragua remem-
bered the Central American court of JUS
tice recently inaugurated at Cartago. Cos
Ia Rica. and promptly filed charges
against Salvador and Guatemala, not only
with the idea of gaining time. but for the
purpose of bringing more prominently to
the attention of these republics the possi-
bility of American Intervention.

Comments on Fairbanks.

They say Finley and Taylor found
a refuge in Indiana, and Fairbanks
found a birthplace there. This was
wise and commendable in Fairbanks,
and we compliment him upon his fore
sight. They say he spent two days
in campaigning, and made a gener-
Gus contribution, for the Republicans
In the recent state election. We glad
ly acknowledge the value of these
services, and allow him all possible
praise and credit therefor. IT
is strange coincidence that he just
happened to climb into the band
wagon when he most needed n free
ride. II Fairbanks professed love
for Kentucky Republicans is sincere.
why has he been silent and penur-
ious during all our struggles against
Coebelism and Percy Halyism, only
to burst forth just at the time when
il could best boost his presidential
aspirations? We would not minimize
our debt of gratitude to Indiana But
being born in Indiana. and exchang-
ing political work with Kentuckiaus.
90 no. entitle a man to the Presi-
dency, nor give him the right to de-
mand that the Republican party shall
jeopardize its opportunity to elect a
President Even Fairbanks friends
and the wet-nurses of his infant boon
almit that 1t would require miracle
to nominate him. And to all think
ing people, as contradistinguished
from those who merely feel, it is
plain that should sucn an unfortunate
catastrophe arise, a Democratic vic
tory would inevitably result.-Wil-
liamsburg Times.
