Gutierras Of Salvador. Bonilla of Hon
duras and selaya of Nicaragua have been
in conference here several days to prevent
exiles of any of these countries residing
in the others from fomenting revolutions.

been the most fruitful source OF revolu-
tions in these three countries, and the
presidents in conference have reached
a practical understanding, which is con-
fidently expected to eradicate the evil
and to assure peace in Central America.
Since the war between Honduras and
Nicaragua last year, which resulted in
Bonilla being made president of Hon
duras, and the revolutions in Salvador e
little later, when the Ezeta brothers We're
expelled, the greatest obstacle to, Central
American union has been the question
at present under discussion between tho
presidents here.

would be held on the date advertised. and
they have been al work since then to make
such a showing as would convince the
world that Florida was not entirely
knocked out
The floral display Is equal to that Of any
previous year. while there are fewer
small exhibitors represented, those who
have green houses and Conservatives
have come 10 the front and made the ag-
grsgate the equal OF any former years.
The citrus fruit display Is. OF course,

oranges, lemons, grape fruit, green twigs
and orange blossoms in profusion, and
there are some small exhibits from other
portions OF the state.

settlers here within the next twelve
months.
A department was set apart especially
for colored people. and they were encour-
