CENTRAL AMERICAN AFFAIRS.
Guatemala Has Had Peace For
Twenty Years,
With she Reception OF short war Wits
saivador-A vital Questaes An Central
America To-day Is the Nioaraguan
~ cauaT-Ths People Believe the United
States Can and Should oenstyuct Is,

CHICAGO, Sept. 2-Mr. John Rice
Chandler, the correspondent OF the As
.ocisted Press in Guatemala, arrived
direct from that country to day and he
was requested to make full and frank
Statements Of the situation In Central
America. now that he is on American
soil. Mr.. Chandler has been in the
service OF the United States governments
In Central and South America for n
number Of years and is acquainted with
the situation and can speak inselli-
gently.
He says: There is general belief
Snat Central Americans are always at
war or on the eve of revolution.
Recently this belief has apparently been
backed up by the telegraphic reports of
several journsls in the United States.
In truth, four of the Ave republics are
to-day apparently quiet. The fifth,
Salvador, has had come riots recently,
due to the connivances headed BY Gen.
Antonio Ezeta, who is now in San
francisco trying to organize q filibuster-
ing expedition with American capital.
Nevertheless, the party in power with
General Gutierrez at it's head, had the
q ''A.N " VIC X JOEibI VI p6OpiS,
and 1t may be difficult to GUST him. The
other republics are doing their beat to
build up their national credit and keep
all turbulent elements in their places.
But Guasemals has been without reyo-
luton for some twenty years and there
has been absolute peace during that
period, with the exception of war In
1890 with Salvador, which lasted two
months.
One Of the vital questions in Central
America to-day is naturally the money
doctrine and the course the American
government may pursue in 1t. The Cen.
trail Americans throughout believe that
no other nation but the United States
can and should build the Nicsrsguan
canal, and that the one hundred mil
lions which it may cost will be amply
paid for by tho obtaining of a majority
OF south American commerce, especially
that on the Pacific side, imports and ex-
ports having been calculated 10 be
both two millions per annum.
