The blaze was discovered by watch

sion,' but it was taken as sign that
opinion in that country was crystal.izing

from Guatemala during the day left little

An incident that has caused curiosity
and some anxiety at the state depart

government two weeks ago Of the British
owned Mexican railroad between Vera
Cruz and Mexico City. No explanation
has been given, but continued investiga-

any German influence behind the act or
any success for German Efforts.

probable that some Roadway may have
