This Iatter concern, with head- quarters in Kansas City, purposed estab- lishing a branch here and had sent 8. G. Murphy to be its manager. The company had shipped goods, such as belting and packing, to an amount the value of which Mr, Murphy roughly estimates at between $5,000 and $6,000. These goods had been in- stalled In the rented room and were en- trely consumed. Some insurance on thew Bad been taken out with a Chicago com- pany, but the amount Mr. Murphy does not know.

There is no exuliation on the part of the victors nor ill-concealed hatred on the part of the vanquished, consequently there has been no unseemly behavior The recent events are the only topic conversation. Many liberals allege that the blame for the final turn of events is due to Belasario Porras, who Is said to be responsible for the blow sustained by the lberal cause last year. Porras, it is gen- erally known, caused a split a few months ago In the liboral headquarters at Chor- rera over a question of precedence and | weniority of rank between himself and Gen- eral Domingo Diaz. Porras refused to recognize the authority of General Diaz as civil and military chief of the liberal army. He subsepuently ef- freted the withdrawal of many men with thelr arms to certaln mountain fastnesses in another direction, where they are still supposed to be.
