1 APACHVLA, Mx.. tin I. The prin
cipal gateway between Guatemala and
Mexico ta Tapaehula. It U to thla place
that political refugee and malcontent!
from Guatemala reaort when they flee in
fear of President Cabrera.
It la natural, therefore, that Tapaehula
ahould be a hotbed for political discussion
and Intrigues by the Guatemalan exile
who bars taken up their residence In
Mexico. New Additions to the colony are
made dally and each arrival ha some
story to tell of a Kneed atroclte committee
by tha oflcials who comprise the Cabrera
administration.
Careful Invest igatlon lesds to he belief
that many of these stories are based on
mere rumors, but other accounts of the
exec ml on or Imprisonment of alleged polit
ical Offenders, of the confiscation by the
government of private estates and of the
111 treatment of families of exiles are re
lated by persons who . may be supposed
to bo familiar With the facta. In Tapa
chula today ax men of former prominence
and wealth who are now without a dollar
and are forced to depend Upon the charity
f friends for. .their support.
On of tba class Is Miguel Baseola. who
sj rived here a few daya ago from his cof
fee plantation, situated on tha Chizoy river.
Ma was forced to travel at night and to
keep la biding" during tha day In order ts
evade arrest. Ha says that the only pos
sibl offence that can be charged against
him is that he was distantly related to
one of tha students In Guatemala City who
were Implicated In the recent plot ta tax. a
tha Ufa of President Cabrera.
Mr. Baseola'a home Is la a remote part
ot the country and hs did not hear ot the
attack upon Cabrera for several days after
It was made. Ilia first knowledge of the
affair came when a secret message reached
him from a friend In Ovatemala city tell
ing him that many arrests of relatives of
the military students were being - msde
ana that bo Had better leave tha country
to . avoid being thrown Into prison and
probably put to death.
' Mr. Baseola paid little attention to this
i:m warning, xie naa never taken any I
part ta political affairs and believed that I
he would nof bo molested. Ha was subs
qeuntly summoned to- appear at tha town
of Huebue4.ena.ngo and reply to certain
questions which tha Jef politico desired to.
ask. Hs obeyed this summons and was In
terrogated In regard to his relationship
with the military student who was alleged
to have been In tha plot to .assassinate
Cabrera, ' '
Mr. Baseola answered, all. tha questions
candidly. Ha was advised that the Jefs
politico would make his report to President
Cabrera, and that future action weald de
pend upon tha Is ttei-e erases. Then hs re-
.mj civ. 0i fuujuunn - -
About ten days( later second secret
message . tVM ' to 'aim from Guatemala
City Baring that Cabrera had Issued oris- a
for his anest and. Imprisonment: on 'the
"' ehargw that he waa connected with the
plot to kill him. The message urged him
t, depart from the "country Immediately,
He heeded thla second warning and taking
enough money to land him acroaa the bor
der ha set out on tha Journey to Tapa
ehula. On the) second day he stopped at the
house of a friend who told him that troops
wera scouring the country for him. He
was also advised that an hia property had
been confiscated by the government. Whst
h become of hia family be does not
v know.
It is stated by Luis Baucedo, who reached
here a few days ago direct from Guatemala
City, that np to the time he took his de
parture thirty members of the most prom
inent families In the capita had been ex
ecuted by order of Cabrera and that sev
eral men of less prominence hsd also been
put to death. The widows and orphans
of some of those executed have been de
prived cf an their property. In some In
sAnces women have twen Imprisoned:
Indignstloa baa been aroused In Guate
mala as well as In Mexico over the treat
ment which President Cabrera la meting
. oat to Mrs. Lw.se, Coftna de Leon, widow of
Emllio de Leon, who waa formerly minister
ef.fnrela-n affaire In Guatemala.
De Leo Incurred the nemHy of Cabrera
about three years ago and he waa charged
with being Implicated la a plat to kill tha
president. He fled to Mexico and took
up hU tmeidmce in the City of Mexico. His
wife remained in Guatemala.
About a year ago an attempt waa ma.de
to kill Cabrera by a mtne explosion In the
street, Cabrera alleged that the plot waa
hatched n the Ctty of Mexico snd Tspa
chult and thai Mr. de Leon was one of the
prime tnattaratorw. He Issued an order for
extradition of the Mexieaaf government
This demand waa refused aad for a time
the relations between Mextao and Guate
mala were strained.
Cabrera then confiscated the eat ate of
Mr. de Leon, but later the property wss
restored to Mrs. de tcon. Knt Mn. de
Lsou's brother, Jose Maria Coftna. was
arrested st his heme in Guatemala Ctty
and thrown Into prison. Hs has been con
fined incommunicado .In a dark cell for a
year. AnotRer brother, Pedro Cofino. who
owned a large coffee plantation, waa ar
rested a few weeks ear-V and after helng
confined In prison for a few dsys was
taken out and shot by crder of Cabrera.
Then Cabrera had Mrs. de Leon arrested
and placed under guard at Anttgna. w-rr
she la not permitted to receive a communi
cation from any person. She has ten chil
dren, all of whom are aaid to be under ar
reat and la prison In Guatemala City.
It la stated by C. H. Haeellng. an Eng
lishman whe has arrived here from a trip
through Guatemala, that there are many
women conf.bed ie the prisons ef the coun
try and that they are In aM Instances, so
far as he could lewrn. members of the
higher claa, Tnstr only offense is thst
they are related to men whe are alleged
to have Bought to bring about the down
fall of Cabrera.
Mr. Havellng aays that the business of
the countr Is prostrate, that a reign of
terror exists and that the tyrannical hand
of President Cabrera la being felt every
where In the country. The reign of ter
ror Is not confined to the larger cities and
