Has Big Chip On Her Shoulder for
Guatemala and Is Out for a Scrap.

MEXICO CITY. July 17.-Importan
correspondence between the republics
Of Nicaragua and Guatemala was made
public yesterday showing that the
most strained relations exist between
the two countries.
TIE correspondence consisted of two
letters written by the state depart
ment of Nicaragua to the government
of Guatemala
The first, bearing date of June 3
inquiries as to the truth of the reported
execution by the order of President
Cabreras of Senor Manuel Garcia
Otiloa, and Valdez, two Nicaraguan
citizens. President Cabreras answered
that the men had not been shot.
On June the Nicaraguan govern
ment answered Cabreras' reply, tell
ing him it was unsatisfactory, and
asking if the men had been executed
in any other way than by shooting.
In this same letter Nicaragua as
sured President Cabreras that the
country will not accept Guatemala S
invitation to send delegates to the Pan
American medical congress, which
meets in Guatemala City this month.
until a written guarantee is given that
they will have safe conduct out of the
country at the end of the session.

CHAMPIONSHIP
NOT AWARDED
MUCH OBJECTION TO SYSTEM OF
SCORING IN OLYMPIC
GAMES.

LONDON. July~17.-PrOtests against
the method of scoring in the Olympic
games resulted today in the an
nouncement that no championship
awards will be made this year. Re-
alizing it would be hopeless to attempt
to get competing teams to agree upon
any one system of scoring, Lord Des-
borough, chairman of the London
Olympic association, adopted this
course as the only solution of the diff
Guilty.
In the hundred meter back stroke
swimming race today Rieberscein, OF
Germany, won first heat Of the semi
final in one minute and 25 1-5 seconds;
the secend heat went to Haresmope, OF
England, the victor making the dis
tance in one minute and 25 1-5 seconds
Combining sections 1 and 2, Nilson
of Sweden, won the preliminary in
middle-hold javelin throw by hurting
the shaft 154 feet, 6 1-2 inches. Larner,
Of England, won five points for Eng
land today by finishing first in the
1O-mile walk; time, one hour Is min
utes 2-5 seconds.
The American complains in the tug
of-war, was based on the fact that
members of the English team wore
heavy cleated boots. This was against
the rule The Americans wore light
boots. The rejection of the protest
caused a great deal Of unfavorabie
commend Greece and Germany with
drew from the contest. 1t is raining

Judge Parker is making a tour OF

LONDON, July 17.-White clothing

GUARD WANTS
A new FLAG
OBJECTS TO CARRYING TATTER-
ED REGIMENTAL cOLORS
IN MAkEUVERS.

SPOGANE. July 17-Officers Of the
Second regiment, N. G. W., have asked
the state authorities for a new flag
for the coming participation in the
regular army maneuvers at American
lake.
Captain Maurice w. Thompson or
Company B has addressed the follow
ing letter to Adjutant General Ortis
Hamilton:
Il have the honor to call your at
tentiOn to the fact that the regimentaI
colors Of the Second infantry are so
badly torn and frayed that there is
practically nothing left of the flag buc
strings. 1t would seem to me that
served more carefully and that the
state should endeavor to secure a new
stand of colors for the regiment before
the coming encampment."
The tattered flag now carried by the
regiment and believed by many to
have been torn in the Philippines, is
not the flag carried to the islands by
the First regiment.
''Ii is true that the present flag left
with the First Washington volun-
teers, but at San Francisco a stand or
colors was presented the regiment by
patriotic citizens" said Captain
"The flag carried in the
is preserved at Olympia.
The present banner is a historic one
in the guard, however, and think the
state should save it and give the regi-
ment a new one"
