Dead statesman's eitterest Enemy
Gould Ask Nothing Worse
Against His Memory"

Louisville, KY, Oct. 24.--In regard
to statement reported to have been
made at Dayton, Ohio, last night by
the attorney for Broughton Branden-
berg that Col. Watterson announced
before the Cleveland letter was pub
lished that it must be discredited by
any means" Mr.. Watterson tonight
said to a representative of The Asso.
Ciated Press
Il never heard of the alleged cleve-
land letter until | read IL In the New
York Times of Sunday, August 80. 1t
impressed me at once as fraudulent.
I knew that Mr. Cleveland had never
had any official dealings with Judge
TAFT, except in a single instance, in
fslving disagreement / knew that
Mr.. Cleveland was In no condition to
write such letter at or near the date
az its alleged composition, and /
thought knew enough of Mr., Cleve-
lands working methods and habits of
mind to know that he would put forth
nothing so important In such way.
The general text furnished matter for
further discredlt since 1t treated of
events which had not come to pass,
and could not have been so confidently
anticipated by a man as painstaking
and careful as the late ex-president.
Coming to town next day, learned
who the literary agent was; that his
soreed has been refused as of doubt
ful authenticity, II not wholly spurious,
by the New York Herald and The
World, and that the very name Of Mr..
Cleveland's. executors was miscalled,
1t being Frank s. Hastings, and not
Frederick s. Hastings, as it had been
printed.
Then went directly to Mr.. Carlisle
and said to him: Mr.. Secretary, Mr..
Cleveland's bitterest enemy would well
come this and could ask nothing worse
TO be used against his memory. You
know that was not Mr.. Cleveland's
enemy--though never claimed to be
his friend-but you are his friend, his
nearest living friend, and you owe 1t
as duty to the dead to run this down
and oppose it.
"Mr. Carlisle thought with me that
Mr.. Cleveland had written no such
letter and felt, though wholly with.
drawn from politics, that 1t was his
duty to see justice done to his old
chiefs memory
"The next day ! left New York and
came home, where l have remained
ever since, urging forward the investi-
cation, though apart from it, by merely
advising the public of the facts"

Expects United States Protection.

San Francisco, Oct. 24-Ofiicers OF
the Federal immigration service who
have been investigating records here
have made the interesting discovery
that vast property holdings of Presi.
dent Cabrera of Guatemala have been
given the cloak of American protection
through Cabrera's son, who was first
naturalized In this city, where he re
sides, and to whom there has been
transferred, Il Is said, good share OF
the plantations and estates that make
up the Cabrera fortune. Diego Els
trada Cabrera was naturalized here In
1907, having resided here for some
years during his attendance at the
university. While 1t is said that the
course taken is somewhat unusual II Is
believed that In the event of war, rev
olution or pillage, the United States
would be obliged to protect the Cab
rera holdings.
