CABRERA STORY DENIED

DR. Ramon Bengoechea. Consul General of Qua
temala in New York. received cable dispatch yes
tedray from DR. Juan BarriOs. Minister OF Foreign
Affairs ct Guatemala City, denying a story pub
lished here a few days ago of attempt on the
life of President Estrada Cabrera
This story was brought to San Francisco by
steamship passengers from Central America. and
told about a new way of accomplishing the death
of the Guatemalan Chief Executive. His enemies.
the account ram attached wire to the telephone
in the Presidents office and connected the other
end with an Internal machine hidden in another
part of the room. There explosion, accord
ing to the story. and the President received some
bruises But Minister Barrios officially dis
poses of ingenious plot by saying that nothing
of the kind occurred and that there is truth in
the published reports from San Francisco. Dr
Earros adds i'm his cable dispatch that the national
holiday. independence Day. was celebrated in Qua
teInala with great enthusi Ism
More credence can he placed in the denial from
Ciua atenala City than in the usual official state
ment from like source because the government
of Guatemala has never hesitated to give the full
details when attempts have been made to kill
President Estrada Cabrera. In connection with
the latter there has just appeared here a pam
phlet written by ]. A. Marckuart. a German who
has spent some time in Guatemala. The His
toric Truth. in which he writes about the enemies
of the government and President Cabrera.
THE bad atmosphere that has attached to
Guatemala, says the writer, has been caused
chiefly by the exterior press. encouraged by the
emigrants who have been guilty of political and
common crimes They are responsible for the
calumnies circulated about the country"
MIR. Marckuart explains the exodus OF the Qua
temalan enemies of President Cabrera who
have been directing their campaign against him
from neghboring republics Their grievance dates
from the time of the last Pres identiaI election
when all the Liberal elements united on PrcsI-
dent Cabrera. Up to that time they had beer,
dvid d. The Conservatives thereupon refused to
put forth candidate. their leaders going to Mexico
Salvador. Honduras and other countries and posing
political exiles. Then began their campaign of
ealumny against Guatemala and its government
They have conspired continually and In some Inys-
terious way have obtained funds in aid of their
plans This money they have spent literally in
the employment of persons to kill President
Cabrera. The expense In the laying of mines for
this purpose has been considerable. MIR Marckuart
says in his pamphlet that ne has no other motive
in telling of the political happenings than give
the foreign countries truthful idea about Guate-
maa' OF which h speaks orderly and pro-
gressive country
