GUATEMALAN UNREST
Attempt on Presidents Life
 Brings on Crisis.
BOY CONSPIRATORS EXECUTED
Cadets Who Try to Kill Cabrera Pay Penalty With Life-Honduran Min- ister Takes Refuge In American Ls. gation In Guatemala City.

Washington, April 23.--Advices from Panama say that the situation in Qua temala City is critical. President Ca- brera rarely leaves his residence for fear of being assassinated. Indeed, since the attempt on his life some months ago until the recent attempt ne had been seen in public only once. President Cabrera seems to be greatly hated by powerful and indefatigable enemies who have sworn to kill him at any sacrifice.
 The Honduran pIenipotentiary in Guatemala has been reconcentrated in Guatemala City by order of President Cabrera and has taken refuge in the American legation.
 The shooting in Guatemala City dur ing which President Cabrera was wounded was done by cadets of the Polytechnic institute. The cadets had
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-04-23

been selected to act as guards of hon0f during the return of the new American minister and opened fire as the presi' dent entered the palace.
 President Cabrera Wounded.
 Dispatches from Guatemala statA that several members of the presiden. tial party were wounded, one or two fatally. The president himself received several wounds, none of them serious.
 The cadets managed to elude the sol diers who attempted to surround them and made their escape, taking refuge in the Military academy. Later they were captured. Several of those who were implicated in the conspiracy against the president have been exc. cuted.
 President Roosevelt has wired tc President Cabrera congratulations on the latter's escape from death.
 The American minister's official re port of the attempt to assassinate Pres. ident Cabrera of Guatemala differs somewhat from other accounts. Majoi William Heimke had just been pro noted from secretary of the American legation in Colombia to be minister af Guatemala and was on the point oi presenting his credentials to President Cabrera. His telegraphed report reads
 Our Ministers Account.
 "As the president of Guatemala en. tered the palace to receive me in, pub lie audience five cadets of the Military academy, forming a part of his body. guard, attempted to assassinate him. and in the melee he received bayonet thrust through his left hand, while az officer of his staff is said to have beet killed.
 "At the same hour when I was about to take a carriage to proceed to the pal ace for my reception the undersecre tary of state came with the message from the president, who advised ms that in consequence of what had hap pened my reception would be post poned for few days more. Just aftei the attack I sought and with great diff fculty obtained an interview with thu president at the palace, where he ha chosen to remain heavily guarded.
 Tt is said that the five cadets havs been shot. The authorities immediate ly ordered the stores closed and tn, cessation of street trafic. The city fl quiet. The populace is astounded ans condemns the attack"

ID RACE WITH DEATH.
Loss of Life and Limb Expected
 In Automobile Contest.
COURSE FILLED WITH PERILS
Sharp Turns Plentiful In BriarcIiff Roads Over Which Machines Will Speed Ten Times-Efforts to Pre- vent Race Fail.

New York. April 23.-R. E. Morrell chairman of the racing board of the National Association of Automobile Manufacturers. who has charge of the 300 mile trophy event over the Briar. cliff course in Westchester county which will start tomorrow morning has made peace with State Engineer Skene by depositing 5000 ill cash and check for $1,60O and is assured of the running of the race.
 For several hours it was believed that efforts to prevent the race would be successful. When negotiations had reached stage where everything seem- ed satisfactory news was received by the committee and state officers that two more accidents had occurred upon the treacherous course, and for time the outlook was uncertain.
 No race of this kind was ever plan ned which promised the disastrous re- suits anticipated by persons who have ridden over the thirty-two miles of the course
 Fifty Turns In Course.
 Should twenty cars leave the scratch in the event it is doubtful if more than half dozen finish. Men who have driven fast cars for years declared that the steeled nerves and the trained muscles of the drivers will be unequal to the strain: that there are more than fifty sharp turns in the course, any one of which may bring death to the drivers and their mechanicians if they err in the slightest particular.
 There are at least thirty turns where drivers who have any value for their lives will shut off all power. There are fifteen where the most reckless must stop power or be maimed or kill ed. There are curves so sharp that the ordinary method of meeting a turn by skidding must be avoided because of the narsowness of the road.
 Must Cover Course Ten Times.
 The racers must send their cars ten times over the course This may cause . shortening of the race.
 All along the route grand stands are being erected. It is expected that more than 100000 persons will witness the race. The principal points at which the spectators will gather are Briar. cliff Manor, Eastview, Valhalla, Ar. monk, Pine Bridge, Newcastle Corners and Mount Kisco Near all of the fifty danger points there are banners stretch ed across the road bearing diagrams of the nature of the abruptness in the road ahead.
 The committee in charge of the race announced that several weeks ago in, surance to the amount of s121 900 had been taken out to indemnify the towns through which the automobiles will pass in case of accident.
 The course will be policed by SS5 guards, 300 fiagmen and 40 deputy sheriffs.
