Viewed With Alarm In Mexico-
Presidents Of Both Republics Ask
ing Explanations Of Each Other.
Mexico City, special.-Privato
tslegraphic advices received here
Tuesday are to the effect that Guate-
mals has concentrated large portion
Of her army on the Honduran from
tier. The Honduran minister to Qua
temala demanded an explanation and
was told that President Cabrera de-
sired to check the exiled Honduran
revolutionists from crossing the bor-
der and fomenting an uprising
against General Davila, President of
Honduras. This concentration Of
troops has not been confirmed from
other quarters.
The situation in Central America is
regarded in Mexico City with pessim-
ism in spite Of various derials of
hostile intention. The latest reported
move on the part of Cabrera is
thought to have been taken to check
mate President Zelaya, of Nicaragua,
and President Davilia. who are said
to contemplate a joint assault on

SULLY'S PLAN.
would Save Great Sums to Cotton
Farmers Warehouse Plan
No Faith in it Say Augusta Cotton
ExchanCe Men

Exchange Men.
Atlanta, Ga, Special.-Daniel J.
Sully, the one-time great cotton bull
manipulation of New York was here
Friday and set forth a scheme by
which he claims $15O.OOO,OO to
$2oO,OOO,O00 may be saved to the
ralsers of cotton in the South.
He said, ga minimum fund of
$lO,COO,OOO, subscribed by the most
conservative financiers of the United
States, is available to be invested in
such lron-clad securities as shall in
sure the ability and the responsible
lty of the plans promoters to redeem
their promises and obligations to the
last detail.
The people Of the South will be
gwen the first opportunity to invest
IN this project, if. upon receiving it.
1t commends itself to their judc-
ment."
The plan contemplates a chain of
warehouses across the South suffi-
clent to hold one-third of the cotton
crop and thereby enable farmers TO
store their cotton and draw small
amounts upon it to enable them to
sell at will instead of by compulsfon.
A Savannah special of Sunday
however, says the plan does not com
mend itself to the cotton factories
there. They claim that the scheme
is not practical or it would have been
adopted already through the Far
mers' me, Union without the aid of Sullv.
They claim that no improvement NAV
be expected from this source.
