MEXIC0'S INTERFERENCE.
CITY OF MEXICO, March 13.-The Mexi-
can Government has taken decisive action
against Gen. Barrios, President OF Guate-
mala, who has assumed military COM
mand of the five Central American repub-
lics-Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Honduras,
san Salvador and Guatemala. On March
Z President Diaz was notified by
President Barrios that the Guatemalan
Assembly had declared the union of the
above mentioned States as one republic.
On March 8 and 10 President Diaz re-
ceived kilograms from the Presidents of
San Salvador, Costa Rica and Nicaragua
protesting against this attempt on their
independence, and on the latter date he
telegraphed President Barrios that his
pretense was threat against the indie
pendence and autonomy of the nations of
this continent. Copies of this telegram
were sent to the Presidents of san Salvador
Costa Rica and Nicaragua, and the con-
tents caused the greatest enthusiasm.
the people Of these republics, believing
that this attitude of the Mexican Govern
meDt Will bring Barrios to halt, the
President of San Salvador replied to the
Mexican President, saying that Central
America would never forget the debt they
owed Mexico for her noble conduct in
their behalf at this time. The reply also
states that the merchants of Salvador,
native and foreign, have resolved upon
the erection of statue in honor of Presi-
dent Diaz. The Guatemalan Minister
here has withdrawn from the position he
held as Minister from San Salvador.
Senior Mariscal, the Mexican Minis
ter OF Foreign Affairs. has informed
the Minister from Guatemala that
the Mexican Government is obliged, on
account of the warlike determination, to
take measures to protect her frontier and
national interests, ,as every prudent nation
must do when its neighbors are in a state
of war. Senior Mariscal also said that
Mexico would have had no objection of
seeing Central America united if such
was the desire of all the republics, but as
the union is the desire of one only, and is
protested against by the other four, Mexi-
co cannot approve it.

Coin for Redemption


PHILADELPHIA, March 13.-superin-
tendent Snowden, of the United States
Mint in this city, states that he has re-
ceived over $4,000 trade dollars since
March 4, and that letters from the hold
ers of the coin in various parts of the

lost all hope of securing legislation on the
subject from Congress, and that they
have determined to make the best of the
situation and sell the coins. The price Of
standard silver at present is sc cents an
ounce, and at that rate trade dol

the price paid for them at

the mint yesterday and informed Col.

just at present the most universal fac

by a mutual friend, and in less than five
minutes one or both of them flashes pc
titiop on you, asking you to put down
your name as an Endorsement of his fit
ness for some public trust. You don't
like it at first, but after awhile you fall
into the habit and sign everything you
see.
