LIGHTING ON THE BORDER AT BEHEST OF SPIRIT. Fanatical Mitchell Woman Says She Slew Brother at Urgent Command of Ghost of Her Betrayer, o. •• -^;-V With 40,000 Troops Available, Guate- . mala Seems to Hold Key to the Situation — uncle Sam May Act as Peacemaker. m I A caL!3*ram received at the state department in Washington Friday fr>m Minister Merry, at San Salvador, states that fighting is proceeding on the border line between Guatemala and Salvador, and also that Guate malan troops have crossed the line Into Honduras. This latter is under stood to be part of the Guatemalan attack on the fugitives of Regalado’s army after that leader was killed on lliursday. From those advices the impression Is given in Washington that Presi dent Cabrera of Guatemala holds tho key to the situation, and the question of war or peace depends upon the success of the eHor* 1 *" «»hich the state department w"now making to induce him to forego attacking either <$al- ^*dor or Honduras in retaliation for “Ti-.^*art played in the attempted rev olution by the Salvadore ^ troops under Regalado. The state department is informed that Oabrera has gath ered a force of no less than forty thousand men under arms. •At the instance of the state depart ment the navy department cabled to Commander Mtilllgan of the Marble head ajt Panama to proceed immedi ately to La Libertad, on the coast of Salvador, to safeguard American interests. She could arrive at that port Friday or -Saturday. There is no other American warships within 2,500 miles of the scene of trouble, so the Mar- bJehead may have to divide her time between Salvadorean and Guatemalan ports. During the day a cablegram was received at the state department from Mr. Brown, secretary of the legation et Guatemala City. He reports con- tfnued fighting near Oonte Pequei, In the neighborhood of the place bwhere Regalado was killed. The ag gressive attitude of Salvador toward Guatemala was, Mr. Brown says, real- ■ ly on account of the personal acts of Regalado's troops. Consequently his •» removed the principal ob- e restoration of peace. aS* Salvador A dispatch from Seattle, Wash., says: Immediately after the arrest of fitether Mitchell the 17-year-old girl who killed her brother Thursday night, orders were given for the ar rest of Mrs. Maim Creffleld, the wid ow of the prophet, whose death at the hands of George Mitchell led to tho tragedy. Mrs. Creffteld, however, tel ephoned the police where she was to be found, and when taken to the station frankly admitted that she had entered Into a compact with Esther to kill the slayer of her husband. She will be held as an acomplice. Esther Mitchell made the following statement Friday evening: “Mifs. Creffleld and I talked over the matter of killing George. The OHO tiwrt ' iTf**!—tHe —CO cio- At. Mrs. Creffleld bought the gun. We were at the room about 4 o'clock this afternoon, and I thought I would have a better chance to do it than Mrs. Creffleld, as my brother wanted to see me, and believed that he would think nothing about my going to the depot. Then Mrs. Creffleld gave me the gun and I was to do it. We agreed that it must be done as soon as possible. My brother Fred was up to my room today and said that Per ry and George were going to Portland this evening. I ^nt to the depot and saw Perry got his ticket. At last 1 saw George and I shook hands with him. He and Perry were walking in front and Fred and I were walking behind. I was walking to the door and George was in front of me. That was the chance I wanted and I shot him.” The girl is also reported to have said that the spirit of the “Holy Roller” had visited her and urged her to kill her brother. At the recent trial of George Mitchell for killing the “Holy Roller” prophet* it was claimed by the de fense that the prophet had seduced not only Esther Mitchell, but her sister, and that in killing the proph et. George Mitchell only did what any brother would have done under simi lar circumstances. This plea was ef fective in securing the acquittal of Mitchell. No one suspected that Esther Mitchell was so infatuated with her betrayer that she would avenge his death by killing her brother. AIKEN. S.<J„ THURSDAY MORNING. JULY 19, 1906.

Dili Guatemala and Salvador have accept ed the tender of (he good Alices of this government looking \.6 a settle ment of their differepoes. This in formation is conveyed in official dis patches received At the state depart ment Sunday from the American di plomatic representatives in Guatemala and Salvador, announcing that the two belligerent countries have avail ed themselves of the tender of the good offices of the United States look ing to their approaching each other in a conference having in view an adjustment of their differences, the cessation of hostilities and the bring ing about of peace. It is stated that while both Guate mala and ’Salvador have accepted in principle the proposition for a peace conference, the question of arbitration would bo a subject of future consid- eration. The advices regarding the Central American situation were forwarded to the president at Oyster Bay by Acting Secretary of State Bacon, who is in charge of the state department affairs during the absence of Secre tary Root. It was stated that the next step looking to peace negotiations is the fixing of the time and place for the meeting of conferees, and that while these matters are being determined the American diplomatic representa tives in Guatemala and Salvador will be the mediums through which com munications will be exchanged.
