THE TRUE POLICY.

Secretary Bayard, in the course of a
recent conversation with a newspaper
correspondent, remarked; 1T does look
as if the irresistible progress of events
within the past 1--WE years is fast forcing
the United States into n new departure in
its diplomatic policy 50 far as the Central
American republics are concerned.
This sentiment appears to have a reals
tic sense in the mind Of the president.
Since the aggressive attitude assumed by
President Barrios, Of Guatemala, a high
officer Of the United States who has long
been identified with the intcr-oceanic
canal question, had an interview with
Mr.. Cleveland, and found him not only
~conversant with the whole Nicanguan
canal matter. but positively inclined TO
take an active part in the furtherance OF
American interests in that direction. He
appreciates the importance of the compile
tons of the canal to u national interests,
and Secretary Bayard, who is in hearty
sympathy with the president on this sub
ject, intimated TO the same gentleman,
who was requested by the president 10
call upon him. hat everything would be
done which would be advantageous to our
interests.
