WAsHINGTuN, March H. Secretary
Bayard has written letter to Senator
Miller, chairman of tho senate commit
tee on foreign relations, giving hun MI
the information possible by
the state department concerning
Barrios' movements. The Discrimination
received by the department. in regard to
the revolutionary movement, was tel
egram from Barrios To the president,
announcing that he had assumed the
title of supreme military chief, aud that
the minister of foreign relations, OF
Guatemala, would soon come TO wash
ington. Later dispatches were received
stain 9 that the republics Of SLa Saliva
dor, Nicaragua and Costa Rica would
resist Barrios, and requesting tho
interference OF the United States gov
ernment. A telegram from Hall,
United States minister 10 Central
America reported that Honduras was
an active party TO Barrios' movements.
Upon these representations the state de-
partment sent dispatches 10 Minister
Hail, at Guatemala, ,instructing rim that
this government, while believing the
voluntary association of interests of the
Central American states desirable,
would not countenance any display of
fol CO by any one or more states to eoorce
others, and that tue United
States government stands ready
to exert it's influence to avert
conflict and promote peace. Similar
messages were sent To the governments
of Nicaragua and San Salvador, and
like verbal assurances given 10 the
minister from Costa Rica III respect to
his government. No commuucation
has been received from, or sent to the
government of Honduras. The MeXi-
can minister here has conferred with
Secretary Bayard as to the cOur o taken
by Mexico and was informed that this
government would use all moral in
fluence and lend it's good offices
to prevent the destruction of
the anatomy of the Central
American states and TO this end would
be glad to receive the cooperation of
Mexico. Later, hut unofficial news,
states that on the 10Th inst. the Guate
malian eXped edtionarv movement
against San Salvador was stopped and
Barrios asked President Talleror to
send two commissioners 10 arrange
settlement. Secretary Bayard further
states that Seuor Batros, the minister
from San Salvador at this capitol, hss
been deprived of his mis-
sion because OF his association
with the movement of Barri"s
and that new minister VIII soon be
seut here. The orders gwen naval
officers for the pro ection of American
interests IN Centra! Am5ricA are given
in detail, and the sec etary expresses
the opinion that no obligation to inter-
fere rests upon this Cover nment, under
any treaties with the states IN
volved. The department has no in
timation that any European power
has interlerred, or contemplates
interference in the present difficulties
in Central America. In conclusion,
Secretary Bayard says this government
cannot countenance any measures sub
versive of the free automonv of any of
the several states, and he believes the
moral influence and good offices OF the
United States can be made a potential
agency in the preservation of psace. He
is unable to suggest any action on the
part OF the senate. The dispatch from
the president of San Salvador
alluded TO in Bayard's letter, states that
Barrios is trying to enforce Central
America union wi h the avOwed pur-
pose of annulling the canal treaty with
Nicaragua.
