The Republic Of Salvador.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
There is widespread mistake which the
public press and the official documents misled
by the majority of cyclopedias and books of
reference in English, are perpetuatng, regard
ing the name of one of the Central American
republics. There is no republic Of San Saliva
dor; this is not the name of a country, but of
the capital city of the republic of Salvador.
Yet the Senate resolution and the State depart
ment correspondence speak of 1.-THE republics Of
San Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica"
while the official dispatch to the President, pub
lished to-day, is signed Rafael Zaldivar, presi-
dent of Salvador this being the proper legal
and constitutional designation. Many tele-
grams are dated la Libertad, san Salvador"
the former being simply the port of the city of
San Salvador-only five miles distant. AS it is
just easy to be right as wrong, will you in
sert this correction of a prevalent error
