GLOOMY FOR PEACE.
Mexico and Guatemala Both Preparing For War.
THE LATTER'S BOLD STAND.
Unless Guatemala Recedes War Is In
evitable—Mexico Stands Firm in Her
Demands and Her Policy Already Out
lined in Case War Is Declared—Troops
Arc Being Concentrated.
CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. 28.—The situation of the Guatemala affair is unchanged. Both Mexico and Guatemala are still going on with their war preparations, and prominent Mexicans think the outlook is very gloomy for peace unless Guatemala recedes from the bold stand she has taken.
If Mexico is pushed into the fight over the international boundary her policy will be as outlined from the first bv General Diaz and his cabinet, to the effect that this dispute and other little matters will be settled once and forever, and the necessary means used to that end. It is prophesied in some quarters that Mexico will settle the boundary line by quietly appropriating the whole Guatemalan republic as a part of the United States of Mexico, with the City of Mexico as its capital, and with the chief executive of this republic as its ruler. The Mexican authorities decline to discuss this matter, however, and it is exceedingly improbable that such a proposition has been seriously considered except as a last resort and after all other plans for reconciliation had failed,
In an interview with the Salvadorean minister, Don Jainto Castellanos, he said that he considered the final declaration of war against Guatemala as calamity which ought to be avoided if possible, and which, he thinks, will be averted by the final recognition of the justice of Mexioo's claim. It will be remembered that Salvador is in the position of a friendly neighbor to Guate mala, and will use all its influence to .preserve the peace.
The hope of Guatemala for forming a Central American union against Mexico in the present fighting seems to be growing less and less every day since the arrival of the minister of Salvador in his capital. He has kept his home government well iitforined of the high spirit of the whole Mexican republic over the Guatemalan episode, and of the activity of this goyeminent in pushing forward preparations for a war to a finish. This sort of thi^g is not to the taste of Salvador or the other Central American republics. President Barrios of Guatemala is feared by some of the other republics on account of his vaulting ambition to be ruler of all Central America, and so his demands carry some weight with them when levelled at his weaker neighbors.
The official daily of the Mexican government states that the late attempt of the attaches of the Guatemalan legation to 'visit the government arms factory was not made in company with an Italian minister, but with Carlos Loya, the former first secretary of the Mexican legation in Guatemala, and later in Italy. The position of the government is that if Guatemala or any other nation desires to see the preparations for war now being made in the government arms factory, or anywhere else, Mexico has nothing to hide, and will give free admission and liberty of full inspection to the representatives of such countries.
General Pedro Hinojosa, secretary of war and navy, has gone to Vera Cruz, ostensibly for his health. General Berriozabal, senior commander of the army of the republic, is also at this point. It is thought that the presence of these two chiefs of the army at the key to the gulf situation may have some bearing on the reported operations of Mexico on the east coast.
The O. C. Ord post of the Grand Army have passed resolutions of fealty to the Mexican government in case of war with Guatemala. A number of Union veterans, including an American general, have signified their willingness to go to the front for Mexico if their services will be accepted. The memorial will be presented to General Diaz on Tuesday.
Troops are being concentrated at all Pacific and gulf ports, and the government has chartered two merchantmen, now in Acapulco. In event of the war, the invasion will be made from several points, principally from the Pacific side.
President Diaz is firm in declaring Mexico must and will have her rights, but in thanking the many persons and states who are offering assistance to this country, he said yesterday: "There has been no declaration of war with Guatemala, and I hope for a peaceful solution of the question."
ANOTHER WAR CLOUD.
Trouble Imminent Between Franco and San Domingo.
NEW YORK, Jan. 28.—A special to The World, dated Puerto Plat, San Domingo, Jan. 18, says: Trouble seems imminent between France and the Dominion republic. A French man-of-war appeared off San Domingo city a few days ago and began to take soundings. Soon after she departed another appeared. The latter was boarded by a pilot who was informed that his services were not needed, and when he asked the commander his intention he was told it was none of his business.
The San Domingo authorities had a dispute with a bank a few years ago and eventually took $00,000 from it. The bank was backed by French capital, and the backers laid the case before the French government. France demanded that the money be restored to the bank but diplomatic negotiations seem to have resulted in nothing.
The World correspondent learns upon trustworthy authority that the French ultimatum has already been sent in, and that it demands the return of the $(50,000 and $200,000 as indemnity. President Heuraux, it is said, has declared that he has no money to pay it wit li.
Dispatches for the British admiral at Jamaica passed this port yesterday, probably asking him to look after British interests in case of bombardment,

He commenced striking wildly at those around him, and in the scuffle he caught Mrs. Wallace by the throat and attempted to choke her. He was frustrated in his attempted and finally ejected from the honse.

From Mrs. Gussie Walker For Alienating the Affections of Her Husband.
Saturday, Mrs. Yiola Brown brought suit for $5000 in the Hancock Circuit Court against Mrs. Gussie Walker, charging her with alienating the affections of her husband, Wm. II. Brown.

She has the proceeds of the sale, $3000 on deposit with the Greenfield Banking Company, and Judge Offutt has granted a temporary injunction restraining the bank from paying the money out pending the decision of the damage suit. Mrs. Walker's maiden name was Gussie Wachstetter and her parents live in Lapel Ind. Testimony of a sensational character is expected during the trial which commences the fiisb of next week.
AIDING NEBRASKA'S DESTITUTF.
Contributions Made by the Agricultural ^Department at Washington.
LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 28.—Senator Manderson has advised President Nason of the relief commission that the department of agriculture will ship to him mailsaclcs containing the senators' entire quota of garden and field seeds, amounting to about 16,000 papers. The senator Bays: "If you see fit to distribute them from your own office all that will be necessary to do so wall be to put the name and postoffiee address of each recipient on each package. I understand that Representatives Haynor and Mercer will send you all of theirs, and Representatives Bryan and Meikeljohn and Senator Allen will send you part of theirs. The agricultural department will also send a large amount from the department supply and from contributions from other members of congress."
This, to a considerable extent, will solve the question of seed grain. This question has been the source of much speculation among Nebraska people. While the present resources are sufficient to feed and clothe Nebraska's destitute, little provision had been made for seed grain Now it is believed that the thousands of bushels annually distributed by the agricultural department through the various congressmen and senators. wil, be sen?

ARMENIAN OUTRAGES
Some dope That a Uetler State of Affuiri Will Soon Exist.
LONDON, Jan 28.—A deputation from the Anglo-Armenian association waited on the Earl of Kimlitrly, foreign secretary, in reference to ttio statement- from Constantinople that the court of cassation had confirmed the judgment of the court at Erzinghiam, condemning 24 Armenians to death and 34 others to various terms of imprisonment.
The foreign secretary told the deputation that Sir Philip Currie, the British ambassador to Turkey, had" been informed in Constantinople that none of the accused Armenians had been ser» tenced to death. The association therefore hopes that British influence had a salutary effect.

BLIZZARD ~1N THE ADIRONDACKS.
Heavy Snows Has Completely ltlocked All Railroad Travel.
SARANAC LAKE, N. Y., Jan. 28.—The little blizzard which began here Saturday, has assumed the proportions of a hurricane. The storm continued with unabated fury, the mercury registering zero. The wind, blowing at 40 mi1's an hour, has piled the snow everywhere in huge drifts, and the highways are impassable.
No trains have arrived here since last evening and the railroad companies have not attempted to run a train out nor will any attempt be made to do so for the present. Railroad officials say that even should the storm cease, the trains will not run until tomorrow night or the following morning, for the reason that the snow is piled in tremendous drifts along the tracks in the Adirondacks, where the distances between places are great. Many travelers are snowbound.
DEATH OF DEGIERS.
He Was Minister of Foreign Affairs to the Czar of Russia.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 28.—The immediate cause of the death Saturday night of M. Degiers, tho minister of foreign affairs, was angina pectoris, complicated with inflammation of the lungs.
His last hours were peaceful. He fell into a deep sleep early Saturday evening and passed away almost imperceptibly that night. The catafalque lias beei erected in the death chamber and requiems will be sung until the funeral takes place on Wednesday next.
It is not likely that the death of M. Degiers will involve any change of policy, all of his probable successors being in accord with the czar in the desire for peace.
Tho Journal De St. Petersburg pays a warm tribute to the faithful, patriotic, devoted and talented services of M. Degiers under three reigns.
