sALYADOR'S GOVERNMENT
a Question TO which an Answer ~
Earnestly Desired.

wAsHISGTOS, Aug. Is. - The
I question now asked here ON all sides
i how much longer will the gov
eminent postpone recognition Of the
existing provisional government Of
Salvador, nor can anyone under
stand why IL has not been done b.
fore this As a matter Of fact, when
the state Department received
cablegnm from Miner August Slh
announcing that during n battle at
/ the city % san Salvador the fOrces
u the provisional government had
scizei the United States flag, AMI
Immediately instructed Minister
Miner 10y cable 10 demand full
reIagatiou from the provisional
government Of Salvador for the in
siit, that very moment the govern
ment Ol the United States virtually
recognized the government Of Gen
eral Ez,ta ~ the legal government
Of Salvador.
That General EZeta expects and
eNaCts recognition, without c0ndi-
ti1uz, A. au absolutely necessary
step bSf0re accepting the mediation
Uf the United Stltes on the affair
with Guatemala, = evidenced by
hls uttcIanc,s reported IN dispatches
from Salvador August IL, in which
he j. reported 60 nave said in a dis
Jaich 10 Minister Miner: III the
great republic % which you are a
worthy representative Cesircs TO
recognize my authority n provision
al President, such will enable me
O. treat with you A. an honorable
government with a view 10 arrive
at an amicable understanding"
Minister Miners further diplO-
matte moves will lie watched here
with interest. His conduct 80 far
has no: been such A. 10 inspire the
h.l lief that lac J. an expert in
diplomacy. However, Il i de-
clanei at the State Department
that there i no truth in the rumOr
that he J. 10 be recalled or that
he has been granted a leave Of alb
~enUe and that Samuel Kimberly.
recently appointed secretary % the
legation, will sup, r-yiic him in
the management u the resent
diplomatic difficulties in Genital
America. The latter has received
his Instructions and will leave for

TIE SMALLPOX OUTBREAK.
CIIN or MENICO, via Galveston.
Aug. l5.-T0 add 10 the horror uf
war IN Central America. smallpox
has broken out among the Guat,--
mllau trJJp- on the frontier OF sal
vaICr. aud the death rate j. simply
APPALLING, and the disease has also
extended 10 the City u Guatemala,
where il j. also causing great NOR
tality among the soldiers and ihhab-
itAuts alike. HuStilities are su=-
PENDED, Tut there j. no advance
ment from Guatemala ia the inter
- o. Ieace, owing 10 discori
among the members Of the
diplomatic corps, who are try
ing 10 mediate the ueace.
Minister Miner desires b act alone
in this matter and has lost the sup
port " the other ministers resident
there. He has not returned fIum
Salvador, where his efforts for
peace have proved futile, owing 10
his manifest partiaiity for Guate-
mala. Ez=ta has little confidence
in him.
IL = believed that, with smallpox
raging, the war betW zen tie two
countries will lie forced 10 come 10
an end, and that peace will lie
patched up some way. IL seems
STANCE that Geronimo Pau here
should have received dispatches
from President Ezeta, stating that
negotiations for peace were going
along through the aid Of the dipl0-
matte cuU- ia Guatemala, and that
the above dispatch should state the
contrary. The only explanation
which seems plausible i tfat the
above quoted disIatch from Guate-
mala, referring 10 Miners parti-
aliiy Tor Guatemala, must originate
with MeNicans, A. not one Of this
nationality has any love for him.
and consequently allowance should
lie made for prejudiged statements.
