Fitzgerald by W. Godfrey Hunter, son of the United States | Minister to that county, were to-day re- | ceived at the State Department. They serve to bewilder the department here in its search for the facts of the rotten con- dition of affairs which has surrounded American interests in Guatemala: Young Hunter is still at the United States Lega- tion. It has developed that the charges filed against Hunter, and which resulted in his resignation, were of a very serious char- acter and that equally serfous charges had also been made against Godfrey Hunter Jr. The quarrel which resulted so fatally is believed to have been the di- rect outgrowth of the trouble originating in rather irregular business which Hunter 1 mixed with his diplomatic duties. ! Consul General McNally, who first re- ported the affair to the State Department yesterday, telegraphed to-day that the shooting occurred in the street or in a park in Guatemala City, and that Bailey, Secretary of the Legation, showed Fitz- gerald, who is'said to have been a Guate- | malan spy, a revolver. While Fitzger-| ald’s attention was thus distracted, it is stated, young Hunter stepped behind him and shot him in the back. Thus Fitzger- | ald had a revolver in his hand at the time of the shooting. This version of the affair was followed | by another contained in a telegram re- | ceived at the State Department a few | D . e | hours later. It was from Minister Hunter | tivity of nutrition | Dimself. Tt stated that his son and up the rupturel | Bailey were seated in the park when It is hav- | Fitzgerald approached them. Fitzgerald became aggressive, Minister Hunter | states, and brandished a revolver, aimed it at young Hunter and pulled the trig- | ut fear of the rupture breaking | ger, but the gun missed fire, giving young | Hunter time to draw. He fired four | times, killing Fitzgerald. Minister Hunter | | hints at a conspiracy formed to kill his | | son. So far as the officials of the State | | Department would admit, neither tele- | | gram attributed any cause to the affair. | | 1t is =aid at the State Department that | a bitter feud exists between Consul Mec- | i Nally and the Hunters; which is due to | | the fact that McNally was directed by | | the State Department to investigate cer- | tain charges. This he did, and it is un- | derstood that his report was adverse to | | Minister Hunter, a fact which aroused | | bad blood. Naturally, it is said that Min- | ister Hunter would attempt to shield his J] J | son as far as is 'possible. Because of the CHANDON Champagne | possible prejudice of McNally and be- in 1902, | cause Hunter’s own' flesh and blood is in- volved the officials here are a bit chary IN EXCESS .} | about acting on either report. | Neither young Hunter nor Bailey, Sec- | retary of Legation, who is seriously im- | plicated by McNally’s report, has yet { been given over to the Guatemala au- | thorities, and they won't be until Guate- | mala asks that they be delivered to jus- { tice, in which case the State Department | | will tell whether or not they are in their apacity as diplomatic attaches immune from arrest. It is doubted, however, if the State Department will shield them ir they are found to be in fault. The strangest part about this case Is | the fact that Guatemala, in the service , | of which Fitzgerald is said to have been | engaged, is displaying apparently no in- | | terest in the question. The Minister frorh | Guatemala here, Arriaga, says he has { as yet received no instructions in regard | to the matter. | | JUDCE BARTOLET of Kentucky, Cured of Double Rupture After tuffering Over 20 Years. 4 people with an absolute no pay.

Excluding river and harbor ap- propriatiors, over which the department has little control, as ‘they are directed largely by Congress, the Secretary said ' that the estimates for each of the last five fiscal vears shows 4n annual average increase from the estimates of the pre- vious year of about $44,500,000. The esti- mates for the next year show a net de- crease of $81,420,400 compared with the es- timates submitted for the current fiscal vear, and the decrcase as compared with the current appropriation 1s $20,947,960. The estimates for the military estab- lishment, which includes all items for the support of the army and the military academy, show a net reduction of $21,- 862,921 from the estimates for 19%3. The pay of the army is reduced more than 3,000,000 in consequence of the reduction of the force. reduced more than $3,500,000, and the ex- pense of barracks and quarters in the Philippines is reducéd a million for the same reason.
