leaders that Senator Money, on ac-
count of recent i'll health, might not
be candidate. The Georgia senator
replied that should such circum-
stance develop he would consent to be

tempt to overthrow his government
now. according to DR.. Fausto Davila of
Guatemala. cousin of the President.
who recently arrived here from Central
America. DR.. Davila said:
President Davila shows that he is
afraid by declaring martial law. His
fears are groundless. There is no notion
of trying to overthrow him at present.
General Bonila, the former President
of Honduras, who It is asserted would
lead a movement against Davila. is
living quietly near Stamm Creek, Brit
ish Honduras.
THE country is ripe for a change,
bat it will not come yet. The effect of
martial law will be to allow Davila to
further wreak his vengeance on his po-
litical enemies. I am informed that he
has already taken steps to this end

Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. 9.-Two men los
their lives and the fate Of 10 others /:
unknown as result of the burning of thu
steamer Clarion near Point Pelee in Lake
Erie early today. Six members Of the
crew were taken from the Clarion by the
steamer L. C. Hanna and Brother. With
out stopping long enough to tell con,
nected story of their rescue or theil
experiences, they were rushed to train
and went to Buffalo, to the headquarters
of the Anchor Line Company, owners OF
the Clarion.
According to the hurried tale of the six
sailors here, all attempted to leave the
Clarion as soon as it was ascertained
that she could not be saved. Capt. E. j.
Bell of Ogdensburg, N. Y, and II other
members Of the crew took to the lifeboat
They left without food and shelter. 1t is
feared that they may either starve or
freeze to death before rescued if they are
not drowned as result of the high seas
running on the lake owing to the recent
storm. Survivors say one of the crew
fell overheard when attempting to enter
the lifeboat, but was later pulled out of
the water and taken with those in the
lifeboat
Wet in temperature near zero, it is
not considered likely that he will survive
the ordeal.
The mate was frozen to death. having
been overcome by smoke and exposed to
the weather too long before being discov-
cred. An effort was made by the six SUR
vlvors to enter another lifeboat but it
eluded them. One sailor fell overheard
and was drowned in his efforts to save
the lifeboat. The men were forced to re-
main on the Clarion. Later they were
picked np by the steamer L. C. Hanna
and Brother The Clarion was a 15OO-ton
steel boat. She was bound from Detroit
to Erie, Pa, to lay up when fire broke
out. ....-.
