in fact, they rather like them, as it gives
them good text for sermon, or. moral

ments for Foreign Missions,

WASHINGTON, March 31.-The follow
ing are sketches of the men whose
names were sent to the Senate to-day:
WIN. R. RoHETs.
Of New York, who was to-day nominal.
ed for the Chilian mission, is fifty-five
years Of age and has resided in New
York City for the past forty years. In
1875 he retired FROM business, having

business in New York City. Mr.. Rob-
erts was elected to the Forty second and
Forty-third Congress aud declined re-

Barrios, 'Mau Of Destiny"
ADVENTUROUS CAREER OF THE
GUATENIALAN DICTHTOR.
From Day Laborer to President. An
Intrepid Fighter-How He Won His
Wife-His Scheme to Unity
Central Amer lea.

CITY OF MEXICO, March 25.-Despito
tho earnest protests and remonstranccs
Of both the United States and the Mcxi.
can Governments, it is announced here
to-day that President Barrios Of Guate.
mala has started at the hoad of an army
Of 5000 men to invade the neighborine
Republic Of Salvador, in fulfilment of
his recently avowcd purpose to unite
tho five Central American Republics in
to single confederation-with himself,
of course, as the capstone of the pol;ti-
cal pyramid to be thus erected.
Glancing at map of the Western Con-
tincnt, we find that Guatemala begins at
the Southern boundary of Mexico, from
which line down to the Isthmus Of Pam
anna the conformation Of the land bears
= rude resemblance to a child's sock.
with very short leg and very long
foot. Guatemala rs the leg. Honduras
the heel, little Salvador ncstles in the
instep. Nicarauga extends out. to tho
ball of the foot and Costa Rica repre-.
sents the big toe. Panama, further
South, is politically affiliated with New
Granada, the Northernmost State of
South America. The total area of the
five Republics is l75,OOO square miles.
and tho population, which is mainly In
dian or Spanish-Indian, aggregates about
100000.
Bsrrios's scheme is not entirely new.
The Ave Republics were subject to Spain
until about sixty years ago, when they
established an independent confederacy,
which was. dissolved in 1889. Other
unions, more or less intimate, were after
ward formed, only to be broken in turn,
and no further back than 1876 nceotia-
tions were fruitlcssly conducted to &C.
coMplish what Barrios is now attempt
ing by force Of arms. His violent poll
cy can obviously lead only to waste and
bloodshed, for tic other Republics arc
preparing to resist the Guate-
malan invasion, and it is not at all likely
that Mexico will sit quietly by and per.
nit such carvings on among her next
door neiohbor

his back, Barrios would probably have
had an easy victory over Nicaragua and
Costa Rica. but with the Salvadorians AZ
enemios, his undertaking has been ten.
fold more difficult. Nicaragua is one OF
the most fortunate States in the whole
group Of Ave. 1t is entirely out of debt
has firm, liberal government, and i.
happy in its situation, for the proposed
canal is projected across it's territory,
for which it will receive handsome sum
If the waterway is,built. Costa Rica is
the most Southern ofthe States, and has
always proved the most obstinate in re.
sisting tho attempts of military adyen-
lures to consolidate the five countries.
A number Of motives are assigned to
Barrios in the present protest. One is
that he covets the plcthoric treasury of
Nicaragua, and the fair prospect that
country has Of being made still richer
by large bounty for the right of way
across her territory for ship canal. II
Barrios could now obtain possession Of
Nacaragus he would receive the benefit
OF whatever gain there will be to that
country through the construction Of the
canal. 1t is most probable that this is
but ono Of the rich results he aims t. OBJ
tain by becoming the dictator of tho
whole country. For many reasons the
United States have an equal interest
with Mexico in bringing his campaign
to halt.
