DEPOSED LEADER
IN Guatemala
HELD PR|SONE R
Ex-President Estrada Ca
brera Confined at the Mil
ltary Academy BY Those
in Charge of Government.


Washington, April 19.-Normal
conditions are gradually being re-
sumed in Guatemala, Minister Nc
Millin reported today to the state
department. Estrada Cabrera,
overthrow as president in last
weeks revolution, was still being
held Saturday at the military acad-
emy by those in control of the
government.
Manuel Estrada Cabrera, de-
posed president of Guatemala, had
the distinction of governing the
Central American republic for %
years.
Growth of the unionist party in
Guatemala, the members of which
favored an amalgamation of all
the Central American republics
under one government, was OPP
posed by Cabrera on the ground
that it was ''reactionary." Upon
his reinauguration as president in
1917, he issued a decree severing
relations between Guatemala and
Germany. During the three sue
ceeding years Cabrera's admins
tration had been marked by in
ternal dissensions and difficulties
with Honduras and other countries
close to the Guatemalan border.
Numerous uprisings occurred dur
ing his regime and many attempts
were made on his life. In 1907
he caused the arrest of 16O men
on a charge of conspiring to as
sassinate him. Nineteen of these
who were tried and sentenced 10
death, were executed.
Many other attempts had been
made to kill him. on one occasion
bomb was thrown under his car
