WAtslllNtlTON. May 1. The
si rained relations between Mexico
and Guutemala arising from tha fall
ure of tha latter to surrender under
eittradltlon proceedings for trial In
Mexico, General Lima, charged With
complicity In tha assassination of Ex
President Barrlllas, la a matter of
serious concern to tha officials. They
are slncertdy denlrous'of tha mainten
ance of peace between ' the thro
Americas pending the meeting and
conclusion of tha second Hague con
ference, olherwlsa tha presentation of
certain subjects to tha conference by
the United HI ales would losa much
of It fores.
With tMs In view tha slate depart,
men! has gone to unusual lengths In
Us efforts to terminate the war be.
tween Nicaragua and Honduras and
prevent Its spread to tho central
American countries and also guard
against trouble in the future by pro
viding for a permanent peace com
mission to meet In Nicaragua. The
details of this last arrangement, par.
ticularly as to time and place are ax
pected to be disclosed In the .treaty
of AmapaU. when the text of that
recently 'negotiated convention reach
Washington. Hsnie the officials
view with apprehension the Increas
ing friction between Mexico and Gua
temala and there are frequent con
ferences at the state department, the
last being today between Herretary
ftont. Assistant Secretary Ilucon and
Ambassador Creel of Mexico; In the
pursuit of M common purpose to avert
u fresh outbreak of war. It I feared
that Mexico's demand for Jose Lima
will untlmalely be refused by Gua
temala. Hut even In that "eent war
might not follow. The Kjoxlcan
iroops that have been mobilised on
the Guatemalan frontier to the num
lier of 10,000 would be retained there
and illplo.iintlc- relations of the two
countries would lie terminated, but
there would be no declaration of
wiir and no hostile acta on the pari
of Mexico so long us there was no
fresh provocation by Guatemala.
Much a situation might be termin
ated either by the breaking out of
a revolution directed against the Ca-
brara government or by the decision
of the littler to yield ' Hie Mexican
demand for Lima's, extradition. The
OustcriiHlnns assert Hint a very active
Inula exists in Mexico with Ihe ob
ject of financing and starting n rev

NEW YORK. May 3. Members of
Ihe fashionable Ht. George's Eplaco.
pel church at Tlempstead. L, I., war
astounded today when they learned
that their pastor, the Rev. Jem
Knode Cooke, had departed from
Hempalead and that Miss ' Flnretta
Whaley also had left her home and
had written letters saying aha would
not return. Itev. Mr. Coog la mar
ried to Matilda, 'daughter of Itlenxl
Clarke, of Hartford, Conn.
Bishop Burgess, of th edlocese of
Lone Island, says that Immediate
action will be taken by the vestry of
George f church to fill the va
cancy caused by the departure of Mr. '
Cooke, .
'The vestry la overwhelmed by tho
unexpected calamity,;' said Bishop
Burgess, "and la at a loss to account '
fr.r It, It la Inclined to the' belief
that Or. Cooke cannot be of aound
mind. - He obtained a leave of ab
sence a year ago and went to Kti
rope to recuperate, but his condition .
on his return has been poor. Tha '
church and Us property are In the
beat of condition.
.- ".v- '';. . ''Am-. VIA Ktory. -: ,
According to stories which were
circulated freely In Hempstead, the)'
Infatuation of, the minister for Miss
Whaley has been apparent for some
Urns and was the direct cause of
Mrs. Cooke leaving for her father'
home. It Is aald that tha young wo
man's grandmother,- with whom aha
made her home, became aware of tha
Infatuation soma time ago, and ask
ed the minister to cease his visits t
her home,
Miss Whaley left her home several ;
days ago saying tha shtnnded to visit
friends In this city. Later the grand
mother received at letter, saying that
when It was received "They would be
out of the country."
Dr. Cooke waa popular during his
pastorate In Hempstead and also waa
very successful In a financial way. Ha
had raised nearly 1100,000 since hi
appointment, In his parish, With
this money he built a parish house, .
made extensive Improvements In the
church edifice, snd had begun Im
provementN on His Hunday school
building. He Is a man of pleasing
presence and a good talker. Miss
Whaley, ' the missing young woman,
has a fortune said to amount to $125.
