CENTRAL AMERICAN oUEs-


'.To be ornot - be" a united republic?
Isl the question now Confronting San
$ tvasor. Honduras, Niearagua, Costa
Rica and Guatemala These countries
of Cssfr4f America at one time formed
q confederation. but since 1888 the sew
erI states have been independeneies
Barrios. president of Guatemala,
has long been ambitious to place
himself At the head OF a
great republic, of which the Eve states
named would form basis. To this end,
on the TIN inst, ne teIegraphed PresI-
dent Diaz OF Mexico that the Guatemala
assembly had declared the union Of the
five states into one republic. Three of
the states, San Salvador. Costa Rics aud
Nicaragua. soon after telegr4pLed Disz
protesting against this aitsuspt upon
their independence.
The Mexican government. although
her minister to the Uaitea States de-
clares that she only desires
TO protest the frontier, viii
certainly strongly oppose the establish.
ment of 50 strolg neighboring repuo-
lie.
Should Baruos attempt TO enforce The
declaration Of the 9uslemaia assembly,
war viii oe iaevitabie. The war, how
ever, would be of shot duration, if, as it
now seams, Mexico should Ii terfere, and
should Mexico remain neutral, it APP
pears almost impossibIe for Barrios to
realize his scheme. His forces in Guate-
mala do not amount 10 more than 10000
men, and although Bogran, president of
Honduras faV1rs Barrios. il is said that
out of his 10000 soldiers few can be ill.,
duced to fight tor the new republic. To
oppose Barrios aud Bogran, San Saliva
d IT can muster 90 600 men, Costa Rica
10000. Honduras 10000 aud Nicaragua
10000.
Under these conditIons BarrIos will
scarcely be foolish eaough TO lgaugur-
ate a war that would result in his com
plete overthrow, aud yet so threatening
is his attitude that Secretary Bayard has
found it necessary IL order three vessels
from our navy u the Central American
coast to project American interests.
Although Barrios Will probably new
live 10 see the states of Central America
united under one government, the union
OF these states into greet republic is
only matter of time. The popu
lation of the five states
is about 100000, of which
Guatemala has perhaps 100000 The
people are similar in color, in motives
aud in disposition. Thsy live in The
same cllmate and speak the same Ian
guage. The states have no natural
boundaries 10 sepsrste them. The CON-
pleti1n of the Panama canal, although
opposed by Barrios. viii allow the
wealth of nations to psss almost at their
doors. giving them a common pride and
common source for enterprise.
Whether formed by war or by CON-
moa consent, it does not require ian old
man who has seen visions or young
man who has dreamed dreams" to
prophesy that the time is coming when
the independent states Of Central
America will be united in vigorous
aud healthy republic.

Manning Willingness 70 resign. AS q
iaattef Of fact, SAID Evans, / not only
have not resigned, nor nave I ever had
one word of conversation on the subject
with either the president OF Secretary
Manning. Evans has written a letter to
secretary of the treasury in regard to
the matter 10 which the following is q
copy:

this date in which you state that by
direction of the president, an in
formed that my resignation as commits
sioner of internal revenue is accepted to

successor. l was hardly prepared To
receive sach letter to-day, In view of
the fact l that had not resigned and
especially as my successor
was nominated in the SEN

should take tins OCCASION to state that

ld1 plOpCA OPpOft0uttJ ~ to1h W yOu
upon this subject, still II has been my
fixed purpose TO resign at an early daJ,
IN no event later than the close
of the fiscal year. I thought l
had probably a fair right to assume the
existence of the apparent cause for be-
ieving there was too great disposition
to avoId hasty removals, TO make it neces-
safy for me to speak of 1t, ii al all, in
the hurry of the earlier days of the ad-
ministEatlon l was acting simply with

so. Very respectfully,

From sidney Clarke.

The following is the telegram sent out
Saturday by Sidney Clarke to Captain
Couch of the Oklahoma colonistsi
The president is of the opinion that
further negotistlon with the Greeks and
Seminoles. as contemplated by the re-
cent action of congress, Is necessary 10
authorize the settlement of Oklahoma.
HIS proclamation last Friday is infended
to eject cattle sYBdicates on the one
hand, and suspend. on the other, the SET
Element pending the negotiations. We
have earnestly urged upon the secre-
tarY of the Interior, IN view of
the eXigencies OF the situation,
to proceed at once to conclude
negotiations AS representatives of the
settlers, W. deem 1t best for all parties TO
await the contemplated action. 1t must
be understood that the corrupt con-
spiracy by which the lands ip the Okla
homa country and the whole Indian
Territory have beeu Illegally occupied
by cattle kings, Is strongly defended
here by powerful financial influences.
This conspiracy has been for years, and
is now, represented here by persons
holding high positions in the govern
ernment These men having access
to avenues of public opinion and
privileges of constant communi
cation with all the departments of gov
eminent, are persistent-in their misrep-
resentation. They who attack here any
of the great wrongs which have fastened
themselves upon the government. under
take task of great magnitude, but we
shall continue to urge with confidence
upon President Cleveland's admlnistra-
iiou q revIsal of the bad policy of former
years The only safety for people is
sharply defined public opinion arising
above all party distinctions and demand
ing that the public domain shall be held
sacred as heritage for actual settlers.
