GRAVE POSSIBILITIES
WHAT THE TROUBLE IN CENTRAL
AMERICA MAY LEAD TO.
Barrios' Movement Likely to Bring Uncle
Sam Into the Arena-Foreign Influence
Indicated-The Treaties Withdrawn
jay Gould's Interest.

WASHINGTON CITY, March l4.-Amone
those conversant with all the facts in regard
te the speck of war which has arisen in Cen.
trail America the matter is considered of far
graver Importance than the size of the
countries directly involved would make
it. The fact is, if Barrios persists in his
assumption of dictatorship, not only
will Mexico take lively hand in
the fight as indicated by President
Diaz's energetic pronunci3mento, tut the
United States can scarcely avoid taking a
hand In it, with the by no means remote
probability of European intervention, at
least automatically, and a bringing up OF
the Nj nroe doctrine again for aiudication,
possibly of arms between the United States
and one or more European powers In that
event, the little troubles now going on
in Madagascar, Egypt, and China, and
threatened in Afghan stan, would cut very
small figure indeed. The understanding in
diplomatic quarters here is that Barriers is
inspired by France, and possibly also by
England, in order to render the completion
of the Nicaraguan canal impossible and il
is readily understood how a casus belli is
liable to arise any day if Barrios'
troops go charging through Nicaragua,
which would compel armed interven-
tion by the United States A thing which
adds to the probability of British influence
at work there is the fact that Honduras has
conceded Barrios pretensions. Diaz's readi-
ness to throw down the glove to Barrios is
also attributed to American influence. Jay
Gould has "a scheme on foot to build a rail.
road right through these troubled states
and into South America. The money
king has beon wise enough to secure
Diaz's influence, and diplomats here see
Gould back Of Diaz's fierce proclamation. In
this connection President Cleveland's action
in sending n message to the senate for the
purpose of withdrawing the Spanish and
Nioarauguan treaties has deep significance
BaIrioss proclamation has led the friends of
the Nicarauguan treaty to urge its immedi-
ate ratification by the senate, and President
Cleveland evidently doesn't want this done
just now, anl to provide against all
contingencies, pr + rSes to get it into his own
hands as soon ;lS possible Whether it is for
the purpose of negotiating for more favor
able terms from Nj, aragua or with lew
of suppressing the matter entirely till
congress convenes next December, and ~
doing whatever he can to keep out of the
bad mess altogether, remains to g seen,
The belief is expressed i'll diplomatic circles
that neither of these treaties will again b
seen by the senators during the existing
extra session

WASHINGTON CITY. March l4--At the
meeting of the cabinet Thur.day the Okla
homa question was considered at length. 1t
was said that an impression prevailed among
those that contemplated the invasion of the
territory, that President Arthur's proclama-
tion relative to trespassing upon Indian
lands had Lecome imperative with the
close of his administration. To prevent
such action of the invaders as would natu-
rally ensue upon the prevalence of such an
impression, it was thought be.t that Presi-
dent Cleveland should issue a proclamation
simular to that issued while Mr. Arthur was
chief execution. This proclamation is now
prepared, and will shortly be ISSUED. 1t
will forbid the invasion of tresspasserS upon
the Indian lands in Indian territory.

has been introduced in the legislature by the

at $3.50 and the beer license at 500.
The minority Of the committee, how
ever, made strong report against
the measure, in which they
show that the Harper law
has largely reduced the number of saloons
while largely increasing the revenue derived
therefrom. They say that 1000 saloons have
been closed under the Harper law, and that
the adoption of the proposed measure will
result in the reduction of the revenue from
liquor licenses to the extent of S2,000, 600 Per
annum.
