TROOPS NOW ON THE MARCH,
Hino Thousand Well Kquipped Mexican
Soldiers Already on the Frontier and
Thousands of Others Have Started For
tlio Front—Guatemala Will Have As
sistance in Case of War.
CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. 80.—President Diaz continues to receive offers of aid. in case of war.
It
OH
is denied emphatical
ly that any foreigners have been offered the command of troops if trouble occurs •with Guatemala.
It is stated officially that if war is declared that either General Tople or Cervantes will have full command of the Mexican army. The army now of Mexico
the border is at least 9,000 well
equipped men, and reinforcements are hurriedly being sent on the border. Yesterday afternoon the Fourth and Sixteenth infantry regiments departed for Chiapas state, and will move on to the frontier as rapidly as possible.
The Guatemalan minister, De Leon, said last night that he was in daily consultation with Minister Marshal, but declined to further discuss the affair, not even hinting as to what progress Was being made.
GUATEMALA NOT ALONE.
In Case,of War Other liepublics^Will I»e-
come Involved.
GUATEMALA, Jan. 30.—The president has just received Minister Irias of Honduras. Ministers Gomez of Nicaragua and Estupinan of Salvador have been received before. All their speeches, which were full of patriotism, clearly show that Guatemala would not stand alone in ease of a Mexican conflict. They have individually offered the cooperation of their countries to Guatemala in such an event, showing that on any question directly affecting all, Central America stands united to repel any invasion.
The Costa Rica legation arrives soon and is confidently expected to express the same resolutions favoring Central Americanism as heartily as shown by the legations of Nicaragua, Salvador and Honduras.
HOPES FOR PEACE.
Secretary Gresham Still Interested in the Difficulty.
"WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. Secretary Gresham Is still in telegraphic correspondence with the Mexican authorities, as well as those of Guatemala, touching the settlement of the dispute between the two nations, and has not yet abandoned hope of peaceful outcome. The status of the affair at present is that the Guatemalan government does not wish to go to war and is willing to make almost any honorable concession to avoid it.
The Mexicans are not in the same conciliatory* mood, but the government, probably would accept any basis of settlement which could be shown to the satisfaction of the people to be in the line of maintenance of their claims. There is ground for the belief that the indemnity of $203,000 demanded by Mexico for the invasion of the Chiapas territory is causing the main difficulty.
PEACE
CONFERENCE HELD.
All the parties to the conferences refuse to disclose tlie nature of the proceedings, but it is suggested in one quarter that the tentative proposition advanced looks to the relegation of the Mexican demand for a money indemnity for trespass on the Chiapas lands to the date of the completion of the boundary survey between Mexico and Guatemala. If it is then found that Guatemala has been guilty of trespass, she must pay the indemnity and not otherwise.
DEATH OF FRANK L. NOBLE.
lie Was Once Owner of the Famous Trotter Alcryon.
GRAND RAPIDS, Jan. 30.—Frank L. Noble, formerly owner of the famous trotting stallion Alcryon, died at his home in this city yesterday, aged 45 years. He had been suffering from kidney trouble, and had been confined to his bed for JO days, but his death was not expected. He was formerly in the plaster business hove, and became quite wealthy, but lost his money in his trotting horse ventures.
August, 1890, when the stallions Alcryon and Nelson were mate]Kid at Beacon park, Boston, Noble is said to have sold the race—allowed Nelson to win—for $5,000, for which the owners, drivers and horses were expelled by the National Trotting association. Nelson and his horse were reinstated two years ago, and Alcryon and his driver, George Robens of this city, were temporarily reinstated last fall, but Noble's application for reinstatement was denied. He brought suit against the association for $25,000 damages, but failed to appear when the case was ready for trial.
Alcryon is now owned by a stock company here and is in charge of Robens, who expects to put him in training in the spring.

"WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.—Late yesterday afternoon Senor Romero, the Mexican minister, and Senor Arriago, the Guatemalan minister, called at the state department. They were admitted at once to the diplomatic room and entered upon a discussion of the troubles between their respective countries with Secretary Gresliam. In such cases the ministers are usually charged with power by their governments to offer and receive suggestions looking to a settlement of the disputed questions, subject of course, to the approval of the home governments, but in this case both officials have denied that the matter is in their hands, so the inference is that Secretaiy Gresham is simply urging them to advise their governments to show a spirit of mutual concession.

Miss Flo Borrey gave a dinner last evening at her home on West Main street in honor of her aunt, Miss Cal Halin, of Ravenna, Ohio, who is here visiting.

John Lafollette was last night before Mayor Duncan, on a charge of assault and battery on the person of his niece, Mary Ann Diggs, who is 10 years old. The evidence showed that John struck the girl with a rubber boot, knocking her down. The testimony was mostly of a "family" nature and several of the witnesses were called to time by His Honor. It seems that the families of Lafollett and Palmers, who live in the same house are in the habit of having "knock-downs" every day or so, and have been giving the officers considerable trouble. Mayor Duncan gave all those interested some sound advice last night, and fined young Lafollette $1.00 and costs, which amounted to $11.55.

WEI-HAI-WEI ATTACKED.
:sc Troops Itepir^ed After a Hard Fought llaLi If.
LONDON, Jan. 80.—A dispatch' to The Times from Shanghai says the Chinese military and naval commanders telegraph via Che-Foo, that at 3 o'clock on the morning of Jan. 2G the Japanese fleet advanced upon Wei-Hai-Wei two divisions of 19 ships. The searchlights betrayed their presence, and the guns of the Chinese fleet and shore batteries opened fire on the first division of the enemies ship when they were within a thousand yards of the Chinese fleet. The fastest Chinese man-of-war and torpedo boats made a dash at the enemy, and after heavy firing drove them off. The first Japanese division went to the northwest and the second division southward. The Chinese claim to have injured several of the enemy's ships.
At the same time the Japanese made a land attack upon Wei-Hei-Wei from Ning-Hai. This was a surprise from the west. The alarm was given, however, and the Chinese repelled the attack. The Chinese lost 27 sailors. The Japanese losses amounted to more than 300 killed and wounded. Several foreigners are said to be assisting the Chinese.

owners of cranberry marshes, which were destroyed by forest fires last fall.

A cold winter is now upon them, and they are hungry and unclothed.

It includes the best marshes in the state, and lands that were formerly worth §100 an acre can now be bought for .$1 per acre. Many of the marshes are rendered entirely worthless, as acres of the mucky soil was reduced to ashes. In 1893 10,000 barrels of cranberries were shipped from Cranberry Center, while this yeui the total number shipped was only 115.
