WHAT MAY BIZ EFFECTED BY EX-PREsIDENT SOTO
HONDURAS WANTS HIM BACK.
In regard to the story published recently OF CON-
binaton between Marco Aurelio Soto ex-Presdent of
Honduras and exPresident Zaldivar of Salvador. to
effect a unfcaton of the Central American republics,
a gentleman well versed in Central American affairs
said:
1t is undoubtedly true that Soto represents the
idea of Central American unity and is the only man
who can effect it. lie and Zadivar are now in San
Jose the capital of Costa Rica. Soto forced from
the Presidential chair Of Honduras by Barros in the
same manner Alexander has been forced from the
throne of Bulgaria by the Gar The statement that
Menendez is the friend of Zaldvar is, however. false
Menendez is farmer who made President of
Salvador In the same manner as Cincinnatus
made Consul of Rome. Unlike Cincinnatus, he has
proyed IN utter failure and there strong desire
the part OF the SalyadOrians to Icegate him to his
cabbages. know that the scheme OF Central Ameri
can unity has the support of Mexico and believe that
the statement that Secretary Bayard has signted his
approyal of the plan is aso correct. Delgados
Iufion is making headway In Honduras and do not
believe that Bogran can long maintain his seat. The
people there will want Soto back, for they remember
VIII At he did for the country He built railroads and
established companies for developing the cOnntrys
great mineral Soto put into the head of
Barrios the idea Of Central American unhcatOn. lie
WAS then Barross Prime Minister Barrlos sought
10 do by force what Soto wanted to do by appeal 10
the reason and patriotism of the people. Hence his
failure and the rupture between him and Barrios."
