CABiftiKrAfV
mANUKL ESTltADA CAIUtliUA, last of
the Latin-American dictators, has fal
len. Guatemala has u now "presi
dent" Carlos Herrera, who led the
"revolution" which ended with Ca
brera's downfall.
Full details cannot be given. Not
much news conies out of Guatemala
nnd a good deal of what does come Is
subject to doubt. But at this writing
it Is known or at least stated that
Cabrera capitulated In April to the
revolutionary forces of Herrera, In
vesting his stronghold of La I'alma,
southwest of Guatemala City, the cap
ital.
Capitulation of Cabrera followed intermittent
fighting which began wjien Cabrera was holding
the forts of San Jose and Mntamoros with nn In
trenched position at La I'alma. All attempts by
the Cabrera forces to Invade Guatemala City were
beaten off. Jlvoly street fighting occurring In sev
eral suburbs. The Herrera forces surrounded
Fort San Jose and compelled its cnpltulatlon,
then drove n wedge between Matamoros and Ln
Palmn and gradually surrounded the latter place.
The loss of life among combatants was not
tienvy considering the amount of ammunition
used, but thereovere ninny casualties among the
civilians during the bombardment of tfie capital
and In the street fighting.
From Snn Salvador there are reports that men,
women nnd children to the number of 800 were
killed in the recent fighting in Guatemala City.
Numerous adherents of Cabrera who remained
faithful to their chief were killed In their own
houses. Many Guntemnlnns who fled from the
, country are returning.
'' Cabrera's fate. It appears, Is yet to be deter
mined. At the time of his surrender his personal
safety was guaranteed, according to one report.
Guatemala refugees In" San Salvador linve asked
President Herrera that Cabrera be tried in a
"competent court." ne said In reply that his gov
ernment was In favor of trying Cnbrern In the
Guntemnlan courts. It Is further reported that
Cabrera has been given the alternative by the na
tional assembly of standing trial for his "crimes"
or leaving tho country forever with his family.
Bending his decision Cabrera Is a prisoner.
President Carlos Herrera Is said to be the.
next richest Guatemalan after Cabrera. The for
mer dlctntor has amnssed nn enormous fortune, it
Is said, Inrgoly by confiscation of plantations nnd
other properties In Guntomnla. Ills principal foes
are among the land-owning class, many of whom
he has driven from their country in order to con
fiscate their holdings. Herrera has been Jailed
over nnd over ngnln In order thnt he might bo
persunded to give a "voluntnry contribution" to
ward running the government. Cabrera, it Issnld,
becoming bored flnnlly nt this constant round of
arresting nerrera, remarked that the only wny of
getting all ITerrern's money away from h,lm was
to kill him. However, he was nfrald that foreign
nations might object to this, bernuso of the sec
ond richest mnn's grent prominence, so ho reluc
tantly allowed him to stay alive, nnd that Is
where Cnbrorn evidently made n mistake. Ap
parently ITerrorn must have become bored by his
many arrests or else he was afraid that Cnbrern
might change his mind.
Grim old Cnbrern fought hard to turn tho ta
bles on his enemies, ns he hns so often done be
fore ln his sensational career. At one time his
forces, hemming In tho capital from every side,
had begun bombarding It; nnd tho dictator's re
entry Into tho city wns Imminent.
And Guntemnln knows only too well wlint such
a re-entry means, snys T. It. Ybarrn In tho New
York Times, writing Just before Cabrera's sur
render. There have been plenty of plots against
Cabrera before, nnd ench time plenty of men
women, too, In somo cases Imvp been stood up
against n wall and shot. His way, since ho enmo
to power in Guntemnln In 1808, has been sonked
In'blood; tho prisons have been packed with his
political opponents; mysterious stories linvo been
constantly told of how influential foes of his have
disappeared forever, leaving no trace of what ho
tel! them.
For Cabrera tnkes no chnnces. Even his npol
oglsts admit that his methods aro, to put It mild
ly, drastic. Ono of them wroto ln tho course of a
favorable estimnto of tho Guatenmlnn dictator:
"Doubtless lie has overplayed tho 'Off with his
head !' game." If that is what an admirer puts It,
think of what his enemies hnvo to snyl '
Cabrera Is tho last of tho breed of gcnulno
Latin-American dictators. Ho Is an anachronism.
Ho has projected hluibclf into an era in which
"presidents" staying In power from decade to
, decade nro distinctly unfashionable; ln which
thero Is altogether too much interest among Latin-Americans
In elections nnd votes and other
strange things prevalent In North America.
Yet, ln the very midst of this era, Manuel Es
trada Cabrera maintained himself, snapping his
fingers at nil attempts to oust him. He holds the
world's record for escaping assassination.
Only two long-distance autocrats of Latin
America have ruled more than Cabrera's total of
22 years I'orflrlo Diaz of Mexico and Dr. Fran
cla, the famous ruler of Paraguay. Tho other
most famous dictators of Central and South Amer
ica, despite the long terms of olllcc, have not suc
ceeded In equaling Cabrera's total of years as
"president" of his nntlve land, "elected" by the
"votes" of his fellow countrymen.
Manuel Estrada Cabrera wns born November
21, 1857, at the city of Quezaltennngo, In the in
terior of Guntemala. He studied law at the na
tional cnpltnl and was appointed governor of tho
Department of Rctnlhuleu nnd, ln 1880, chief Jus
tice of his native city of Quezaltenango. But
these poRts were not big enough for his ambi
tions. He managed to get himself appointed "Sc
gundo' Designndo," or second vlco president, of
tho republic, And then, when President Bnrrlos
quite n long-dlstnnce ruler himself wns assas
sinated in 1898, Cabrera saw his chance. As sec
ond vlco president, ho was not the man who would
automatically Hucceed Barrios there was a first
vlco president in the way. But that trlflo didn't
bother him. Ho Is said to have walked into a
meeting of the big men of the Bnrrlos govern
ment,' laid n revolver down on tho table before
them, nnd remarked:
"Gentlemen.. 1 am president of Guatemala 1"
Ho was right. And he has been president of
Guatemala ever since. Tho term "president," ns
hns been hinted, Is putting It far too mildly. A
czar In tho pnltrilest dnys of cznrlsm, a Rorann
emperor nt the height of Imperinl Rome's power,
n blood-thirsty despot of the far east, might well
envy Manuel Estrada Cnbrern, firmly sentcd on
his Central Amerlcnn throne in this year of grace
1020, cheerfully acting In a wny thnt would hnvo
made a tyrant of nntlqulty blush for fear that he
was overdoing things.
His rule wns absolute. His capncKy for at
tending to dentils, for keeping nn eye on every
thing that would Insuro his remaining solo nrblter
of Guntemulan destinies, wns simply marvelous.
The members of tho Guatemalan assembly, though
It Is externally n perfectly good legislative body,
modeled on the parliaments or renlly democratic
lands, nro simply his creatures or so his enemies
say. His cnblueL-Jnlnlsters nre slaves. Every
where Cabrera has spies. Nobody, native or for
eign, enters or lenves Guntemnln without having
his every move reported to tho despot. So terri
ble is this system of espionage, so acute tho sus
picion aroused by tho dictator's methods, .so well
known his ruthlessness when once ho hns decided
to swoop down on somebody, that Ills nnmo Is
never mentioned In Guatemala except In whispers.
Every man suspects his neighbor.
He has a largo nrmy, which ho keeps efficient,
slnco he realizes quite well thnt his power rests
" on bayonets. Tho private soldiers aro recruited
by force and get only a fow cents n day. Tho of
ficers, too, nro poorly pnld, but they, Hko tho cl
vlllnn ofllclnls of Cabrera, nro not, nccordlng to
common belief, deprived of means of Improving
their stipends.
Cabrera hns escaped assassination In mjrncu
lous wnys. Tho attempts to kill him have been
far from bungling essays by amateurs ; thoy show
a skill in planning that should place them high
among tho classics of their kind. As a result of
&zazfdjr&ixKZ2'
theso various attempts on his life, Cabrera, It Is
snld, wears n bullet-proof coat. Another story Is
to tho effect thnt, fearing poison, he would tnko
no food except that specially prepared for him by
his mother, which was "served to him In n her
metically closed steel casket which he opened him
self at table.
There seems small room for doubt thnt Ca
brera's regime was ruthless nnd Ills methods ut
terly despotic, but his defenders insist that, on tho
whole, his long reign has brought more good than
evil to Guatemala. Ho hns Improved tho country's
finances, they say, carried out many Important
public works, reformed nud liberalized the laws,
fostered agriculture, Introduced modern systems
of sanitation. Above nil, they declare, he has
shown himself such a zealous believer In educa
tion that ho has Installed In Guatemuln a really
up-to-date school system based on American mod
els. During tho grent war the Guntemnlnn dlctn
tor, according to report, wns instrumental In nip
ping in the bud a Germnn plot for causing revo
lutionary outbrenk8 throughout tho five Central
Amerlcnn republics nnd extending them, if possi
ble, to Panama nnd Colombln. Tho German min
ister nt Guatemala, Herr Lehmnnn, was said to bo
tho master mind behind this plot, nnd Herr Eck
hnrdt, German minister nt Mexico, wns nlso named
os one of Its Instigators. Cabrera, It was said,
got wind of It, warned the United States govern
ment, nnd thus effectually blocked its progress.
Porflrlo Diaz ruled over Mexico from 1872 to
18S0 nnd from 18S4 to 1011. Frnncin was abso
lute autocrat In Pnrnguny from 1814 to his death
In 1840. Ills successor, Lopez I., kept himself ln
power for 22 years nnd then turned tho govern
ment ovec his son, Lopez II. Itosns, despot
of the Argentine, ruled from 1825 to 1842. Blnn
co, tho Venezuelan dictator, ruled for" 18 years,
from 1870.
Antonio Guzman Blanco wns n llttlo different
from the icst of theso dlctntors. Ho came Into
power in 1870 nnd his novel methods gavo him
eighteen jours of nscendnncy. Unllko Cabrera,
Rosas, Francla, Dlnz ond the rest, Guzman Blanco
wns clever enough to keep tho reins of power In
his hands without sticking close to tho Job Sev
eral times he went to Paris to hnvo a good time,
lenvlng "presidents" In his plnco who adminis
tered Venezuela In Ills nhsonce without for n
moment questioning ids uuthorlty ns tho real boss
of tho show. But one of theso substitutes, Dr.
Rojas Paul, got tired of being president In nnmo
only nnd, In 1888, suddenly announced thnt ho
would no longer take orders from Guzman Blanco,
then comfortably enjoying himself In Paris. Tho
dlctntor threatened nil sorts of terrible things ns
soon ns he got bnck to his cnpltnl, but Rojns Paul
had chosen a psychological moment. Guzman
Blanco never dared to nsscrt his authority ngnln
nnd, wlint Is more, never dared return to his na
tive land. Though surrounded In Paris by every
luxury that wealth could bu', yet ho died a broken
hearted exile, yearning to return to Venezuela,
eagerly questioning every Venezuelan visitor for
tho latest news from homo.
Juan Vlcento Gomez of Venezuela has been
"president" for 12 years.

DESIRABLE HENS TO RETAIN
On Most Farms 8lze of Flock Could
Well Be Increased Range Is
Very Important
Tho average farmer might find It
desirable to Increnso tho slzo of the
flock of hens. Whllo most fanners
hnvo llttlo time to devoto to poultry
raising, yet their families may attend
to tho fowls nnd see thnt they are well
cored for ond protected.
Tho usual "advlco" to poultry raisers
to begin with a few hens Is sound. But
on most fanns the women and girls
have had the responsibility of tho flock
for years and most of them could well
afford to Increase tho number of lay
ing hens.
Range Is very Important for poultry.
But range alone Is not enough. The
fowls must havo feed and shelter when
thoy need them.
When ono Is about to lncreaso the
number of hens It Is well to see that
those kept aro worth keeping. Poor
hens aro not nn asset; they are gen
erally a liability.
