the strong feeling which exists in the
state against granting the request OF
Carranza. He said that he had been

qualification over the announcement

Vladivostok Refuses
To Treat With Japan,
Negotiations Held Up Until
the Apology Demanded From,

VLADIVOSTOK, April IT (By The
Associated Press) (Russo-Japanesc) D.
The provisional government here re-
fuses to conduct any negotiations with
the Japanese until the protest issued
on April 6 demanding an apology from
the Japanese is answered. This situa-
tion developed when the japanese asked
the provisional government to order
the Russian railway men to return to
work on the railways. The newspapers
of Vladivostok print bitter attacks on
the Allies because Of their failure to
protest against the Japanese actions in
Siberia.
Americans arriving here from Nix
DISK report that events there on the
night of April ID, when the Japanese
seized control, were virtually the same
as in Vladivostok, the Russians being
disarmed Many of them fed to the
hills. The Japanese report that thirty
eight of their nationals were killed and
eighty wounded, while the Russians
suffered two hundred casualties.
The Japanese state that they have
blown up the great bridge over tho
.Amur River at Khabarovsk, being
forced to take the utmost measures for
defense against partisan troops ap-
preaching from the west The Japanese
in Khabarovsk apparently are in a diff

Regarding the reported request for

quest had been received from Mexico
City, said that small group Of officers

U. S. Diplomat Assails Wilson
Henry Lane Wilson, former Ambas
sador in Mexico City, continued on the
witness stand to-day before the Senate
committee investigating Mexican con-
ditions. The former diplomat declared
in effect that any new revolutionary
turnover in Mexico will not affect what
should be the rightful policy Of this
country toward Mexico. "Mexco is
not now a nation," said Wilson. ut
is just an organization of futile ban
dts"
The witness bitterly excoriated Pres
ident Wilson for what he termed the
Presidents mental obsession" about
Mexico.
"Anybody who supports the Mexican
policy Of President Wilson is unpatri-
otic and un-American," said he. Eighty
per cent Of Mexicos population is illit-
crate and. Indian. They have not the
slightest conception of his fne-spun
political or. :altruistic theory. but do
comprehend justice, if it is accom-
plished by firmness"
The ex-ambassador attempted to ana
lyze President Wilson's mental proc
esses with regard to Mexico, declaring
81 believe he came into Office with the
idea that he had q mandate from the
American people to reverse all the for
egn policies Of his predecessors"
AS further indication of this "obses-
sion" the ex-diplomat declared it has
worked wrong ain bringing about the
domination of Japan over China" Re-
marking on the peace treaty in the
same connection the witness added:
''The President wrote Article X of
the treaty himself, and though there
are many more important sections than
it, he has caused widespread disaster
by insisting that the whole treaty be
rejected rather than let the Senate
modify the one section. AS for Mexico.
| understand he has written plank on
Mexico for the next national pla tform
demanding continuance of the Mexi-
can policy. President Wilson cannot be

President of
Guatemala
Capitulates
Cabrera Agrees to Surrender
as Revolutionary Forces
of Herrera Surround His
Stronghold of La Palma
Six Days Fighting Ended
Personal Safety of Beaten
Ruler and Right to Retain
His Property Guaranteed

GUATEMALA CITY, April Is (De-
lsyed). President Estrada Cabrera
cxpitulatcd to the revolutionary forces
Of Carlos Herrera last night, after the
latter had envelopcd his stronghold of
La Palma. The president agreed to
surrender to-day, the revolutionists
guaranteeing his personal safety and
also retention of all the property le
gally obtained by him.
The capitulation OF Cabrera followed
intermittent fighting, which began on
April 9, when Cabrera, we'll equipped
and with numerous supporters, was
holding the forts of San Jose and Mata-
moras, with an intrenched position at
La Palma, south by east Of the capital.
The revolutionists, lacking arms, seized
small quantities in various parts of
Guatemala City. The greater part of
the country rallied to the support of
every day in the capital.
All attempts by the Cabrera forces
to invade Guatemala City were beaten
off, lively street fighting occurring in
the city. The Herrera forces sur
rounded Fort San Jose and compelled
its capitulation on April IL, the revo-
lutionists driving wedge between Ma
tamores and La Palma, and gradually
surrounding the latter place.
The loss of life among the COM
batants in the fighting was not heavy,
considering the amount of ammunition
used, but there were many casualties
among the civilians during the bonn
bardment of the capital by the Cabrera
forces and in the street fighting. Red
Cross stations were installed in the
and an efficient hospital service was
maintained.
American sailors are guarding the
American Legation and the consulate.
A new government was announced to-
day, with Carlos Herrera as President;
A. A. Saravia, Minister of Justice;
Louis P. Aguirre, Minister of Foreign
Affairs; M. Anoyo, Minister of Instruc-
ton; Albert Mencos, Minister of

# KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is sign you have besn
\ eating too much meat, which
forms uric acid

When you wake up with backache and
dull misery in the kidney region it gen.
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says a well-known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter it
from the blood and they become sort of
oaralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the body's urinous waste,
else you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
is coated, and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, channels otUen
get sore, water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a Tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize acids in the urine 80 it
no longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer-
vescent Whitewater drink.
