vices received here today say Presi-
dent Cabrera of Guatemala has ac-
ceded to demands Of the British gov
ernment for a settlement of the long
standing British claims. The London

matum to Cabrera giving him until to-
morrow to settle and a British warship
was put on the way to Puerto Barrios
to empha size the demand.
The Guaten1alan minister today con-
drrned the earlier advices and an
nounced that under the arrangement
with the British bondholders "one dol
lar out Of every dollar and half ex-
port tax paid on each quintal of coffee
would be allotted to the payment of
interest on the external debt"
The minister declared the adjust
ment would aid in carrying out the
proposed loan of thirty million dollars

1ish debt, reform it's currency system
and establish a national bank

Guatemala out of her embarrassment,

yelopment of the Wilson administra-
