THE FIRST STEP
Looking to the Consolidation Of the
Central American Governments,
for Defensive Purposes.

Washington, u. c., May 26.-New
treaties Of far-reaching Importance
have recently been made between Mica
ragua and Honduras, and official copies
have just been received in Washington.
The treaties have been under negotia-
tiOn for some time, and were finally
put into effect by proclamation on the
18th OF last month.
They are the first practical step to-
ward the formation of a Central Amer
lean nation out Of Nicaragua, Hondu-
ras, Guatemala, Salvador and Costa
Rica. The first treaty forms a defensive
alliance in case of foreign war and an
offensive alliance against common enc
mics 1T obliterates commercial from
tiers so that foreign goods once admit
ted to one country are free to enter the
other.
An express provision is made against
the possibility of war between the coun-
tries by an article requiring differences
to be adjusted by arbitration by some
government on the American continent.
Article SO is the one looking to the
union in a single nation, and is as fol-
lows:
The high contracting parties sol
EMMY declare that they cannot and
viii not look upon as for
eign the other Central Ameri-
can countries, and that they will
American countries, and that they viii
labor constantly to maintain the fam
ily bonds and the greatest cordiality in
their relations, making a common cause
with them in case of war or difficult
ties with foreign countries, and medi-
atng in their international relations.
To this end the present treaty viii be
submitted to their consideration, invit-
ing them to subscribe to it as a COM
mon Central American treaty until the
arrival of the time when they shall be
incorporated in a single nation"
The detailed features OF the treaty
show the closeness Of the alliance now
formed between Nicaragua and Hon
duras. Article 1 binds the govern
ments to uniIy their foreign policy, 10
act jointly in matters concerning Cen
ual America and to endeavor to bring
about the uniformity and harmony with
the other governments Of Central
America.
The article pledging a mutual often
siye and defensive alliance is as fol-
lows
Both governments declare that there
shall exist between them a defensive
alliance in case Of foreign war, and an
offensive one against common enc
mics"
Article " arranges a plan Of arbi-
tratiOn effecting all Central American
States; succeeding articles agree on
uniform postal, tariff and other laws,
uniform diplomatic representation
abroad etc. In every way possible the
boundary line is wiped out, and the
countries form a complete union or
alliance
There has been more or less coniect-
IRE as to the formation of a Central
American nation. but this treaty aD-
pears to be the first practical step to-
ward it's accomplishment. It's procla-
nation at Tegucigigalpa on April Is.
was followed by a meeting at Managua
of the ministers Of Salvador. Honduras
and the other republics with a view
to carry out article So for the accept
ance Of the treaty by all Of the coun-
tries.

a HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
4 Tennessean kills lis Two Sisters and
Wounds a Baby.

Nashville, Tenn, May 26.-News has
reached this city Of a frightful tragedy
which occurred near Chestnut Mound,
Smith county, on Friday last, as a re-
suit of which two young daughters OF
Samuel Mckinney are dead, while his
baby is slightly wounded.
Mr. Mckinney had been out on his
farm with a Winchester rife and ap-
preaching the house handed the gun
to his 23-year-old son Henry, request
ing him to take it into the house. Ap-
preaching the front door Henry de-
cided to unload the gun, and thinking
he had removed all the loads, he let the
hammer fall, only to hear report and
feel the gun recoil in his hands.
Through the door the bullet sped,
and through the bodies Of the two Sis
ters, who were close together, just in
side the door. The eldest was eight
years old, the other being a few years
younger, and both were instantly
killed, while a nine-months-old infant
was also slightly wounded.

A CABINET OFFICER
Gives His Opinion Of Mr.. Whitney as
a Presidential Possibility.
The Ex-Secretary Of the Navy
Will Permit the Use Of His Name
in Case He Sees a Reasonable
Chance of Success = A Loyal
Democrat, Whose First Thought
is for His Party.

Washington, D. c., May 26.-In dis
cussing the movement favorable to Civ
ing ex-Secretary of the Navy William
c. Whitney the Democratic nomination
for the Presidency, a Cabinet official is
quoted as saying:
whether Mr.. Whitney will permit
the use Of his name in this connection
will depend on his opinion of the De-
mocracy's chances for 1896. He is
A TRUE AND LOYAL
Democrat himself. Next to his family
his first thought is his party. At the
same time he doesn't care to lead any
forlorn hope for the sake Of the nomln-
alton. Were the nomination to be
made to-day, l don't think he would
take it. But 1 predict that if the busl-
ness outlook is not false, and if the res
toration of our prosperity which l see
in the near future is not a mirage,
this free silver craze will be practical
ly dead by next spring; good times Will
be ours again. That means a restora-
tion Of
OUR PARTY'S PRESTIGE;
so that if my prediction be correct,
Mr.. Whitney will have no apprehen-
sion, and he will permit the use Of his
name.
There is no estrangement between
Cleveland and Whitney. The Presi-
dent appreciates Whitney's services in
his behalf and besides has the very
highest personal regard for Whitney.
True, Whitney has not been to
Washington during this term. There
in he shows
