STILL MORE WARLIKE
Mexico and Guatemala May Soon Be Fighting.
BOTH COUNTRIES PREPARING.
Troops and Ammunitions of AVar lieing
Sent to the Front -The United States
Will Not lie Called on to Arbitrate Their
Differences—War Will Probably Be De
clared Within a Few Hours.
CITY OF MEXICO, Fob. 1.—There has boon much question here in reference to the question of the proposed arbitration by the United States, it having been asserted that Guatemala was endeavoring to induce the United States to insist on Mexico arbitrating the matter.
Yesterday advices came from Washington showing that the conduct of the government there is entirely neutral and will continue so. It refuses to accept the mediation which Guatemala would have it force through at any hazards, unless it is satisfied that its interference would be approved alike by both contending parties.
Colonel B. C. Pate is receiving tenders of the icrvuv-s of many prominent participants iu the late civil war in the United States, sincc the fact has been made known that he had tendered his services to President Diaz in case of war. Among the offers he received yesterday was one from General T. J. Lucas of Lawrenceburg, Ind., his old home.
It is rumored that some kind of definite announcement will be made tomorrow by Mexico. Although matters are quiet now, it would not be surprising should it prove to be a declaration of war. It is reported that the government is conscripting men in different sections of the country. Part of the commissary department of the Twenty-first regiment are at the depot of the Interoceanic road awaiting transportation. It is said that this and two other regiments will go to the frontier within a few days.
Military Preparations Being Made.
GUATEMALA, Feb. 1.—Military preparations are leing made here hurriedly. Special envoys are coming and going between this city and other Central American republics continually, which gives the opinion that Barrios, president of Guatemala, is playing for time and at the same time doing all in his power to form an alliance of countries against Mexico. It is rumored that Barrios is trying to secure the services of officers of prominence in foreign countries to come to Guatemala.
Minister Romero Hopes For Peace.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1. Minister Romero of Mexico stated last night that he had every reason to believe that an amicable arrangement would be reached between Mexico and Guatemala, one honorable alike to both countries, and that he did not think that there would be war.
NEED RELIEF AT ONCE.
Hundreds of People in Nebraska Are Suffering For Food.
TOPEKA, Feb. 1.—The special relief commission appointed by Governor Morrill to have charge of the collection and distribution of food and other supplies for the relief of the suffering poor in the western counties, has received applications for aid from 16 counties.
A canvass of Rawlins county, on the Nebraska lino, shows that 90 per cent of the people are without seed to plant, and 75 per cent are without the necessaries of life. One man writes that some men and women are almost destitute of clothing, and children are barefooted. Another says men are clad in gunnysacks fashioned into garments.
In a number of townships many families are absolutely without fire except such as they can make of hay and other light material.
The commission is receiving encouragement from all over the state, but the people are not responding so promptly as was expected. In all, seven cars of provisions have been received from outside the state.
Letter of Thanks Front th« Governor.
ATLANTA, Feb. 1.—The last oar of provisions contributed bv Georgia was sent by ex-Governor Northen to the Nebraska sufferers yesterday afternoon. This makeB 22 cars in all that Georgia has given to the sufferers of that section.
Ex-Governor Northen has received a letter of thanks from Governor Siles Holcomb of Nebraska in which he says: "For myself and in behalf of our people, I desire to express to you and your noble Georgians our thorough appreciation of your magnificent gift. Already the press of Nebraska has echoed the sentiment of the people of the state that this unsolicited response to the need of our unfortunates has doubly endeared your people to us. May peace, happiness and prosperity ever attend you and your kind-hearted people."
Suffering on the Cherokee Strip.
GUTHRIE, O. T., Feb. 1.—A resolution presented in the legislature yesterday asking for the appropriation of $50,000 for seed for the settlers of Clierokeo strip, elicited statements that the reports sent out from Perry and other territory towns that there was no destitution were false in every particular, and were simply attempts to bolster up those towns.
It was stated by a dozen or more members that the settlers had no feed for stock or means of procuring seed tov plant, and unless aid was given, a large percentage o1 the settlers would be found to abandon their claims. Thousands were living on miio maize and kaflir corn, in absolute destitution, and many suffering for clothing and too proud to ask for help.

Yea, verily, girls are of few days and full of mischief, and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. When the fair one cheweth her gum with much haste and stampeth her pretty foot with much vigor, then beware. She cometh forth in the evening with low neck and short sleeves, but in the morning she lieth in bed while her mother hustleth. She eateth all winter of the devoted young man's oysters, and partaketh with glee of his sleigh rides, but when the gentle springtide cometh she winketh the other eye and goeth with the new beau.

While his insanity is not of a violent nature, yet it was thought best for him to haye treatment, and accordingly his brother, Warren Hauck, of Lawrenceburg, took him to a sanitarium at Cincinnati this morning. Mr. Hauck has been in business here for a number of years, and all his friends hope for a speedy recovery.
