A Washington dispatch of March
, r4th says The administration be
lieves that public sentiment demands
the preservation of the autonomy Of
the Central American republics. In
his inaugural address the President
. advocated peace policy and expressed
an unwilingness to interfere in the
affairs of foreign governments. Wher
Senator Bayard opposed the ratifica
t ton of the Nicaraguan treaty in the
Senate he expressed similar sentiments
-, The declaration of this policy, how
4 ever, did not imply that the Unitec
r States will sit idly by and see the gov
: eminent of Guatemala consolidate three
+ unwilling independent republics unde

Barrios is strongly suspected Of being
in the pay of the French Government

: States by having the Nicaragua Con
gress rescind the ratification of tn,
treaty. Mexico has notified Barrio
:, that she will not consent to his consoli
dstion scheme, and this government
: has ordered its ships of war, the Shen
: andoah and Wachusetts, to Contra
: America, and the commanders of thre
:, other vessels have been told to holt
! themselves in readiness to proceed

interests to protect in Central Amer
