The first result of the recent negotiations
for forming a Federal Union among the
Republics of Central America has been an
outbreak OF hOStilities between the forces
of Guatemala and San Salvador. As yet,
the details of news are dubious aud con
fictinC; but it appears that Il blttle took
place last week Oh the San Salvador from
tier. The Guatemalan commander sent
an asd-de-camp to General Ezeta, Of San
Salvador, asking him "to consent to the
ratification of the proposed Union of the
five Central American Republics, and to a
meeting of representatives of those States
at Teguciguepa on August goth" General
Ezeta replied that San Salvador was a
Sovereign State, and knew how TO act
without foreign intervention. The PreSl-
dent of Guatemala b ordered the from
tier to be crossed without any formal de-
claratiOn of war. The SalvadOrianS were,
says one account, able to repel this attack,
though they did not follow up their advan-
tage, 'swishing only to preserve the integ.
rity of their territory" The Mexicans
have, it is said, massed troops on the Qua.
temala frontier, with orders to cross if San
Salvador is again attacked while Guate-
mala declares that she will appeal to the
United States for protection if Mexico in
tervenes in the struggle. The 81 ,%uation,
in fact, appears to be something like that
inaThe Critic, when ''the %nieceS,' "Don
Missionaries" and ''the uncles" hold
each other in check. Guatemala cannot
strike San Salvador for fear of Mexico and
Mexico cannot strike Guatemala, for fear
of the United States. Mr.. Blaine has here
an excellent chance for acting the part OF
the Beefeater. Will he, we wonder, be
able to discover as good a solution OF the
situation as did Puff

The news from Central America cou-
tinues conf citing, but it is obvious that
Guatemala is not to- have it all her WI
way in her attempt TO force San Salvador
to ioin the proposed Federal Union. Oi
Monday it was reported that a revolt had
taken place in the capital OF Guatemala, q
portion of the troops having mntlnled ana
Joined a mob which paraded the streets
shouting, "death to Barillas W-the PreSI'
dent. At the same time it was announced
that the forces of San Salvador were within
sixty miles of the capital. On Wednesday
another telegram was received describing
an unsuccessful attempt made by an lndlaii
TO murder General BarillaS. The Minister
of Guatemala TO France and England
points our, meantime, that the only Cen
trail American cable lands on Salvadorian
territory, and that, theI efore, news recelv-
ed thereby is necessarily suspect. A few
DAYS will show the value of this explana-
ton. In any case, it is pretty clear tha5
the attack on San Salvador is without re"-
Sonable excuse. General Ezeta may be-
nsurppr, but obviously the people OF San
Salvador do not desire federaliSatiOn,-
naturally enough, when that process would
mean the domination of a State so back
ward as Guatemala. Guatemala has vast
resources. and a climate which is deSerIbe't
aus perpetual spring, and yet her CONDITIONS
yerges on barbariSm. She has over three
hundred different sorts Of timber-trees III
her vast forests, and yet, owing to the
absence OF roads, imports her wood from
California. p

The draft Constitution, which Reuter-
te~legraphed on Wednesday as to be sub
mitted to the Brazilian Congress i'll NOvem-
Der, is in many respects a copy of that OF
the United States. The President is, how
ever, to be elected for six instead OF four
years, the Senate for nine instead OF SIX,
and 'the Chamber of Deputies" for three
instead of two. There is to be a Supreme
Court, consisting of fifteen Judges appoint
pC' for life, and a federal judicial system.
The old provinces become self governing
States, and there is to be 'univeral Sutt-
rage to all except illiterates, mendicants,
soldier Crank and fle), aud members of
reli giOus orders, companies, congregations,
or communities who W obedience TO the
same to the prejudice Of their personal IL
berty." Religious freedom and the Sepa-
ration of Church and State are declared
TO be funlamBtals. This all sounds very
pretty, but we expect that the little lift
within the Lutte will be found i'll the Stipu-
latiOn that "the Federal District c0mpris-
ing the national capital is not, like the
district of Columbia, to be deprived of
local autonomy, but is to choose Senators
and representatives for the lower House,
and to help elect the President, exactly
like any other State. The TACT is, that
Rio, which considers itself a sort Of Bra
lillian Paris and made the revolution, is
determined not to lose her power, or be
swAmped in the vast Empire behind her.
1t remains to he seen, however, whether
provinces like the Rio Grande do Sui Will
consent to an arrangement which gives the
capital, to which a traditional dislike at
taches in the outlying territories, 81 an
equal a share in the Government Of the
Federation.
