LEAGUE OF THE NEIGHBORING STATES
CABANAS.
(From FL Ncaraguense, Feb. 81
RumoIs are current that league, offensive and de-
fensive, forming between Guatemala, Honduras Costa
RIGA and San Salvador. We notice this a fact some
what sir gular because Ncarsgus rot included tue
compact Heretofore the Genital American States have
consisted OF five Powers snd the formation of any
submitted TO the cn of this different States That
this cuscm heretofore abing should be disc arded
in the present instance forms and
has very justly given of offence existing go
vernuent OF this State. Nicaragua is part OF Central
America. fIght to De consulted such has
been denied and WREN 1t is thus suddenly ignored we
have reason to demand an explanation The whole peo
pie Of Nicaragua are offended in this matter and their
epnent is required to have the inctvty rectifed
apeogsed for. The State is capable maintaining
her self respect ane peghborng Powers either treat
US in an amfsable manner receive enemies We
have extended the olive branch curriers' have "a
lived with messages Of peace the ooneaerated auth res
have attempted with other people, and we
have given no cause to be thus suddenly and without
warming cut of from the Intercourse Of those States
uarth has thnr, hoon
OF intimate and friendly relations
Another Sit guarity in the arises from the con-
cnrrence OF san Salvador and Honduras In this ILL.,
advised league TIE former has hitherto been c,nsi
tered the inveerate foe OF the serve party and at
ciples. Its pos,ioa has been 40 we'll understood
that contemporary historians have given to San Saliva
because 1t was hemned in w,.h rocky mountains, in
whose Businesses we're firmly protected the srst ideas
people Moreover San Salvador has often express
ed sympathy for the exstiog government Nsarayus
and without solicitation has made offers Of peace 40
friendship. Therefore, IT is strange that, without
have lent her name and ina aence to any ALLIANCES which
gnoei the existence of government towards which
founded the theory peopl. have sustsosd vito 90
much fidelity OF Honduras those who will lake the
Will that ss .bs s
and with reason, too, ON the near prospec. Of
,pesdy enlistment Of mutually bensdcent treaty
listing official relations between the two Countries
Of the most cheering and amcable nature To-day
teLeed to hreA Nicaragua The professions OF Manuel
Colndres have faded like charac made in the sand;
ard while he wrote the hand of obliteraon follow
ed last after his pen. Thus stand with regard two
OF the Powers and it only rests with the u
tuIe to develope the hidden which have
these SUDDEN results.
The nainstra,ion of President Rvas has bs.n lost
concatoy Adjusted by the sncere,t desire peace
offer after pro0er has been extended to the govern
ments of adjoining States. Twice have We sa-
luted Costa RIGA without answer, and special
message has been forwarded to Guatem ala but with
similar result. The formec The least respectable
of Central American republics, and therefore her
lions are incapable OF provoking serious anger; the
later IS the powerful but owing tn its confirmed
opposition 70 democratic principles very sang aine
ticipations of favorable response ware entertained
Stu, az the existing goveInmsn of Nicaragua tbs
choice OF the people 1t could not be apprehended that
disturbance would be be attempted by any of the vsrn
position government she has but recently su5mitted
formal proportion to the other four Powers Of Central
America Tint convention Of all the States should to
hac at which might be adopted provide for
the neral good and guarantee exchanged for ths
pae,s Independence Of each Of the contracting p.rtes
Every peaceful issue Nicaragua has male has been
Treated with unbecompg silence ana her only recource
now Is to stand upon htr reserved rigats, h ,ding

Bnt cur ehspeF Is NOT finished As a attins consul
