REPORTS EXAGGERATED. '
WANTS NO WAR.
Mtxico Angry With Guattmala but Not
Bonapart Tslla Cabinet About Row
In San Francisco.
Washington, May 30. At the cabi
net meeting yesterday, Attorney-General
Bonaparte laid before the Presi
dent and Secretary Root the report of
District Attorney Devlin, of San
Francisco, upon the alleged assault
on Japanese residents of that city.
The report, Mr. Bonapart says, shows
i that the first stories of the- alleged
assault were exaggerated, and that
the difficulty appeared to be a lack of
police protection, owing to a strike.
Secretary Root took the report with
him, and if any further action is taken
it will be by the State Department.
Mr. Root received the following tel
egram from the governor of Cali
fornia in answer to a message of in-
yujry relative to the attack upon
apanese in San Francisco last Tues
day: "Your telegram of May 25, - con
cerning assault made upon Japanese
received. Will call attention of Chief
of Police of San Francisco at once to
your telegram and request him to use
every effort to protect these people.
Think the assaults were due largely to
uncertain conditions existing in San
Francisco by reason of the labor
troubles."
The State Department has taken no
further action in the matter as yet,
but undoubtedly will communicate
Governor Gillett's telegram to the
Japanese embassy, and the belief is
epressed that it will sufficiently meet
the complaint.

Washington, June 5. The Argentine

Washington, June 1. Concerning
sensational report about expects
tion of war between Mexico and
Guatemala. Ambassador Creel, of
i Mexico, said today to the Associated
rress:
"There is nothing pending and no
reason for any fear of war between
the two countries. The assassination
of ex-i'rcsident Barillas bv a Guate
malan developed in Mexico a feeling
j of indigation and a strong protest by
ijuuuc opinion against ucn a crimi
nal action, more so when it was
known that General Lima, from
Guatemala, was supposed to be impli
cated. Mexico asked for the extra
dition of General Lima, not a com
pulsory under the treaty, but offering
uuatamau the privilege that might
have been accepted. Guatemala de
clined, and this was the end of the
conflict
"There remains in Mexico a feel
ing of grievance and condemnation
in public sentiment, but' not a spirit
of war. The troop that have been
located on the frontier of Mexico and
Guatemala are there for the purpose
of keeping order and to give protec
tion to the people of all nationalities.'

RIOTS IN
IRELAND.
Paant Rebel Against Leasing of
Farmfor Grazing.
Dublin. May 31 The latest phase
of the land agitation in the congested
districts of Ireland is taking the form
of a crusade against the holders of
grazing farms on the 11 months
lease system, and is developing with
great rapidity. Kings County and
North lipperary are the centers ot
riotinir. In byeone days these coun
tries saw many evictions, and today the
peasants are determined that tne land
shall be redistributed to small hold-
s.
Reports are received daily of the
gathering of large bands of peasants,
who destroy sates and fences and
clear the grazing ranches of cattle,
which they drive back over mile of
country to the farm of the owner.
In two cases men who had leased
ranches were compelled to abandon
their homes because of intimidation.
There have been teriou conflict be
tween the police and peasants, and
many persons on both sides have
been injured. There have been
numerous prosecutions, but the sym
pathy with the peasants is so strong
hat in one ot two instances even tne
magistrates have declined to concur
n the conviction of the disturbers ot
he peace, one magistrate even going
so far as to declare himself ready to
go to prison with the defendant.
