timent directed at the overthrow of
President Cabrera has been manifested
for the past several months.
President Cabrera, who is generally re-
ferred to as the last of the Latin-Ameri-
can dictators, has, perhaps the best
equipped army of any of the republics
lying between Mexico and Panama In
addition to the modern rifles carried by
his foot soldiers, he has several score bat
teries of machine guns and field artii-
lery and last year an American firm con-
structed for him four auto demons" ar
NOR coated automobiles fitted with ma
chine guns which pierce small aper-
lures in revolving shields of heavy armor
plate.
war against Cabrera might mean
long, bloody struggle unles his enemies
are ablt to execute coup as that
which overthrow Madero in Mexico City
Sunday. His system of espionage is
declared by well informed Central Ameri-
cans to be the most rigid ever devised,
especially in the military department,
and it is considered to be next to impos-
sible to organize revolt in the Guate-
malan army, at least before some eff
fective blow is delivered by his enemies.
Increased Spy Force
President Cabrera has recently in
creased his force of spies in New Or
leans, a center of revolutionary activity
and 1t is not much of a secret that
Salvadoreans and certain other prominent
Central Americans here are the objects
of a close surveillance.
If war Is declared between Salvador
and Guatemala it may develop into a
general uprising in Nicaragua and Hondu-
ras as WE'LL and the beginning of the
end of the fight to re-establsh the
union of Central America.
Another denial that the assassination
of President Arauio was the result of
a plot concocted in Guatemala City was
made today by Angel Pena, consul here
of Guatemala. Todays denial was based
on official advices received from Guate-
| mala.
Il have just been officially advised" +"
said Mr.. Pena, that Vrgilio Multaillo,
one of the men arrested for making the
mmderous assault upon President Arauja
| has never been in Guatemala City.
Therefore, his story of having gone to
| Salvador from Guatemala City is not
! true and 1t is impossible that the plot
was made in Guatemala

Washington, February 10-Beginning a

the House was in session for two hours

plished nothing save the passage of bill

| the vessels represents no change what
ever in the policy of the President.
Consul Edwards reported that there
have been no disturbances at Juarez and
that there is little excitement over condi-
tions in Mexico City.
The state department has made it plain
that there are to be no landing parties
beyond those that might be necessary in
emergency to put down anarchy in the
ports where the ships may lie, nor at
present is there any intention of organiz-
ing a naval expedition to penetrate the
country as far as the capital. Indeed, it
was pointed out the main object of this
government which at this moment is the
protection of the lives of Americans and
other foreigners in Mexico, probably
would be defeated by any such move
ment, as the appearance of a hostile ex-
petition of Americans on Mexican soil
might cause the massacre of many
Americans at isolated points in the in
terror OF the country.
Last Storm Broken
The opinion prevails in official circles
that this last storm which has broken
over Mexico will be followed by the res
toration of a permanent stable govern
ment. If Madero triumphs he will be so
strong to be able to make short work
of the smaller revolts dragging on in OUT
should gain control of the fortress of
Chepultepec, overlooking the City Of Mex
leo, either he would be Joined by the lead
Iers of the REBELLION in the north and south
or be in a position to compel their sur
render in short order.
Three resolutions were introduced in
Congress during the day regarding the
Mexican situation. Senator MARITIME and
Representative Hammill of New Jersey
introduced in their respective houses a
similar resolution directing the admins
| tration to take immediate steps to safe
guard American lives and property. Rep
| resentative Murdock of Kansas intro
| duced a resolution of inquiry directing the
Secretary of State to inform the House
! what steps, If any, have been taken TO
portect the lives and property of Amer
| lean citizens In the republic of Mexico"
| These measures were referred to the for
| eign relations and foreign affairs commit
! tee of the two houses. Representative
Hammill conferred today with colleagues
who have an intimate knowledge of Mex
| ican conditions and will speak on the
Mexican situation in the House probably
| Wednesday, pointing out the immense in
| jury to American interests sustained in
| Mexico during recent revolts
! The calm which followed the day of
| turmoil in Mexico City yesterday was
reflected in the message received at
| the state department late tonight from
| Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson saying
| that the situation had not changed in
| the preceding "a hours. Mr.. Wilson said
there had been no fighting throughout
| the day and that no apprehension was
felt for the safety of Americans.

FAILED To SAVE
TALLU[AH FALLS
Sentiment Couldn't Preserve One of
the Finest Pieces Of Scenery in
the United States

Atlanta, Dec. fS.-Purely senti-
mental litigation is the only descrip-
tion that we'll fits the fight on the
part of the state 10 regain possession
&C Tallulah Falls for the purpose Of
preserving its natural beauty
Everybody connected with the
fight knew this except, perhaps, a
few Of those who were most respon-
sible for il. Governor Joseph VI.
Brown and Attorney General T. S.
Fielder knew it. and if it had been
left TO them, there would have been
no litigation on this subject. Mr..
Fielder searched the records with
fine tooth comb looking for some
Iossible point in favor of the state;
a survey of the property was made,
and it was sought TO find some peg
upon which to hang the states suit.
The legislature which, of course,
knew nothing OF the legal aspects Of
the case, finally passed the resolu-
ton, through the influence of Mrs.
A1CACi L. A-O14 so.li SCL eN1A%1 otACio VIZ
we're back Of the movement, which
made the litigation necessary. This
resolution was mandate to the gov
ernor and attorney general to press
the states claim TO Tallulah Falls TO
the limit OF the law. Other lawyers
who had examined the situation,
reached the same conclusion arrived
at by the attorney general. Under
instructions from the legislature,
state officials went into this fight
practically without hope, though they
gave it their best efforts.
Officials of the Georgia Railway &
Power Company, who have just won
a decision from the state supreme
court, giving them fnal~and absolute
title TO the property, knew pretty
well what the result was going to be.
Naturally, therefore, they went right
ahead with their work Of. developing
the falls and it is an interesting CO.
incidence that the current from the
falls was turned into Atlanta just a
day or two before the supreme court
declared that the company had fee
simple title to the property in dis
pute.

An AWFUL OUTRAGE
Georgia Negroes Incited to Fearful
Crime by Fermented Cane
Juice

Augusta, Ga, Dec 18.-William
Kart and Robert Paschall, the three
negroes who murdered Mrs. Jeffer-
son Irby, three miles from Wrens
Sunday afternoon, are beyond the
possible reach of any mob, in cells
on the top floor of the Richmond
county Jail. Beyond discussing the
brutality Of the murder, no excite
ment is noticeable in or arounI Au-
susta.
In the presence OF witnesses, the
negroes separately confessed the
E.urder, going into the details.
They declare none of them had
been al the Irby home ydurins the
loren oen Snnday, but plotted visit
10 the house in the afternoon about
/ O'Clock, because they knew Mrs.
Irby and the two little children were
there alone.
The demand for payment for half
bushe1 Of potatoes, they say, was
only a ruse TO get Mrs. Irby to come
out She was seized on the porch,
dragged to a little woodshed AMI the
three Of them each took turns with
an axe in smashing her skull, in
order that no one would be more
guilty than another. Mrs. Irby s
body was then outraged by all three.
In passing from the woodshed one
of the negroes nCticed large knife
used in butchering hogs. George
Hart took it from the wall and slash
ed the young woman's throat twice
though she was already dead They
say they were all drunk on ferment-
ed cane juice.
