GUATEMALA Is TRANQUIL,
PRESIDENT CABRERA SAYS
Denies Reports Crediting Revolu-
tionists With Gaining Victories
Over Government Forces.

Alleged reports from the governor of
the state of Chiapas, Mexico, which
borders on Guatemala, stating that
revolutionists in the latter country had
gained a decisive victory over the gov
ernment forces at a place called Vale
de Ixtatan, infiicting severe losses, is
denounced as an absolute fabrication,
according to private cablegram re-
ceived from President Estrada Cabrera,
at Guatemala City. The dispatch states:
Guatemala is in perfect tranquility.
there being no armed opposition to the
government. The efforts of political
enemies to create apprehension consist
only in bombastic proclamations on the
frontier, following the defeat and dis
persal of the late invaders. The con-
stituted authorities are prepared for
any move. great or small, and are
amply competent to maintain order
throughout the country. Please deny
published sensational reports"
1t is pointed out that there is no no
such place as Valle de Ixtatan, IN
Guatemala. The only place bearing
similar name is IXtahuacan, in the de-
partment of Huehuetenango, small
Indian village, which, however, IS SO
situated by reason of the mountainous
not be reached from Mexico save by
passing nearly 100 miles to the south,
at point near the Pacific ocean, where
the Guatemalan government maintains
very efficient border patrol. AT the
present time the Navy Department has
a cruiser stationed near Ocos, Guate-
malan seaport only a few miles from
the border, and had there been any
violation of Guatemala territory 1t is
believed that the Department of State
would have been promptly informed.
No information, however, Of this char
acter has been yet received.

The Cordele District Epworth
League Confere ice which held
its last session Sunday night is
said, by the State officers who at
tended, to have been the best at
tended and about the most sue
cessful conference held since the
annual conference in Waycross
last June.
After the welcome address and
response Friday afternoon the
various leagues in the district
gave in their reports which show
ed very plainly that the work of
the Master had by no means died
out in South Georgia. The Lea
CUES of the Cordele District are
as a whole in good working order.
Every league in the district has
paid all obligations due the treas
urer and this is not true of any
other district in the Conference.
The Epworth League social at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. E. K.
Farmer Friday evening was one
OF the most enjoyable events of
the Conference. Almost the en-
tire ground floor of the beautiful
home was thrown into one large
room and the league colors of
yellow and white were carried
out in all the decorations. A
number of appropriate and well
rendered readings were given by
the visiting Epworthians which
lent inspiration to the occasion.
The social was well attended by
the local young people and many
new acquaintance were made
among the charming, cultured
and consecrated body who had
assembled together in the Mas
ter's name.
Discussions of the various de-
partments of the Epworth Lea
que constituted the work of the
Conference Saturday. The dele
gates came with note books and
pencils which were used freely
as the Leaders in this great work
told of the latest and best meth
DDS of carrying on League work.
Rev. Arthur J. Moore, who is
