WALKERTON INDEPENDENT. WALKERTON. - - - INDIANA. PREPARING FOR WAR MEXICO AND GUATEMALA ARE ARMING. Negroes to Go to Mexico Mine Workers Protest Strongly Central Pacific Road Snow Bound Reports of K. of L. Defections . War Clouds As oat. After a very stormy cabinet meeting, President Diaz notified Guatemala, through its minister, at the City of Mexico, that he would not concede one iota and that Guatemala would have to give in to Mexico's demand or suffer the consequences. Other Central America rep resent a lives here made the statement to President Diaz that they understood Mexico was trying to grasp Central American territory. President Diaz denied the assertion. It looks as though the other Central American republics wercrbehind Guatemala. All the govern—A mients are marching in the streets with bands slum Ting “ Viva Mexico!" " Vix a Diaz!” mid “On to Guatemala!" They are now in front of the palace, from to 1.5,000 strong, clamoring tor war and pledging their support to President Diaz. They are mainly composed of students of the law, mining, and medical schools. Mexico has been preparing for war for some time .and has 12,000 troops on the border. All the officers that have not been on active duty have been notified to report for marching orders. Both countries are preparing for war. Havoc in California. A severe snowstorm has been raging on the line of the Central Pacific Railroad in California, the snow being twen-ty-two feet deep on the level at the summit. On Shasta route, a formidable avalanche of snow lias occurred at Upper Soda Springs, near Dunsmuir, burying the tracks sixty feet deep under snow, bushes and rocks. Hundreds of men are now clearing the track. The river at Napa City has overflowed its banks and the best portion of the city is inundated. In Sonoma County several bridges have been swept away and the roads are impassable. Howell Point levee in the Sacramento valley has given way and 12,000 acres of land are under water. At Ensenada, lower California, a large tannery and several residences have been swept away by the unprecedented rise of the river. Two government pilot boats have also been wrecked. On Agua Fria River, twenty miles from Phoenix. Ariz.. Frank Dougherty, while attempting to ford the river, was swept away and perished in sight of many spectators. Later James tlammond was drowned in Hassayampa River, fifty miles north of Phoenix, while driving a mail coach across the stream. Pooh-Poohe a New K. of L. General Secretary-Treasurer John W. Hayes, of the Knights of Labor, is inclined to pooh-pooh the reported move ment to disrupt the order and establish an independent organization. He says: “The last general assembly at New Orleans unseated several ot these fellows, and now they are trying to get back by attempts to disrupt the order. The reports against us are magnified by our enemies, and I do not believe there is anything in the reported organization of an independent order of Knights of Labor.” BREVITIES, M. Sacres, a Peruvian political refugee, has arrived in San Francisco with considerable money. It is said that his mission is to purchase arms and ammunition for the Peruvian revolutionists. A train on the Pittsburg, McKeesport and Youghiogheny Railroad struck a rock on the tracks one mile west of Councils ville. Pa. The meager reports received say that Clem Richter and John Gillman, trainmen, were killed. The Court Circular says the Queen will ' go to Darmstadt in April, where she will ; meet the Czar ami Czarina, the Emperor and Empress of Germany, ex Empress ■ Frederic’-:, the Duke and Duchess of Saxe- , Coburg, and the Duke and Duchess ot . < 'umbertand. The Supreme Court of the United Spates rendered nn opinion in the sugar trust eas ■ of the United States vs. E. C. Knight and others, involving the validity and constitutionality of the Sherman anti-trust law. The decision holds the law to be applicable to the case in hand and confirms the opinion of the Circuit Court. The light between the otlicers of the United Mine-Workers is uaxing "arm. A. A.

Winfred Smith, the wealthy Indianapolis citizen, who fatally stabbed Western ' B. Thomas at the Brighton B-m h Club House, was found guilty and given eighteen years in the penitentiary. He will appeal to the Supreme Court. All the demurrers offered by the defendants to the indictments returned by the Grand Jury against President Have meyer and Secretary Searles, of the American Sugar Refining Company Broker Seymour, of New York, and Correspondents E. J. Edwards and J. O Shricver were overruled bv Judge <\>ic m the Criminal Court at Washington, ami the defendants required to plead to • he indictments. Tht' whole of the Second Brigade of the New fork National Guard was ordered to be under arms by ,5 o'clock Saturday morning. Mayor Schierim made a requisition !■ riday evening upon Brigadier Gen oral James McAleer for 700 or Soo of the Brooklyn militia to be in readiness to help i run the Brooklyn trolley ears. The call "as made upon demand of the trolley road presidents, who claim, as they have for five days, that they have men enough to run the roads if protected. The trolley strike in Brooklyn took tt serious turn Friday morning, owing to the failure of President Lewis of the Brook lyn City Company and President Nortonof th<' Atlantic Company to compromise. At the Bush street stables of the ('ourt street lines, where the police expected ho trouble whatever, strikers to the number of sev-enty-five engaged in seven fights with the non-union men, and three shots were tired by the strikers. Tin- disorder bwinnr so gieat that eight new men deserted the Company in fear for their lives, and two mure xx ere t right cued into deserting their cars on route and running axvay. Fixe ears ot the company xvere partly demol ished by the angry strikers. William Pitt, Thomas Buck, and Joseph Erminer. each about 11 years of age. ran away from St Vincent's Indus trial School, at I 'tica, N Y . a few days ago. Friday the bodies of Buck ami Erminer xvere found in the woods near Her kimer. They had been frozen to death. Pilt was found in a barn near by so badly frozen that his legs will have to be ampu fated. Pitt says be ami his companions "audered about the woods. They did m t sex' a house after 'Tuesday night and had nothing to ent. Pitt told his eompititions to count their bends and say their prayers ami it is evig.-nt that they were thus « ii gaged when death claimed them. Pitt says he remained with his companions un til their hearts ceased to bent a id Im kmov they were dead. WESTERN. Families of striking miners nt Akrm.
