ton.
Washington, Jan. 12.-The alleged cable
dispatch from Managua, Nicaragua, re-
Gently published to the effect that Presi-
dent Barrios of Guatemaula would arbi-
trate the boundary dispute between Mica
rauga and Costa Rica, is ascertained to
be wide of the truth. There is no ques-
ton as to extent of territory pending be-
tween the two countries. Such contro-
versy did at one time exist, but it was
definitely and finally settled by the award
of President Harrison as arbitrator sew
eral years ago. and it would be considered
in Central America an insult to the gov
ernment of the United States to attempt
to reopen it.
The true boundary line determined by
the award has, however never been prac-
tically marked by monuments or any of
the similar methods usually adopted by
adjoining countries, though Costa Rica
has maintained a commission in the field
for over a year, making a careful sur
vey of the line Notwithstanding that
Nicarauga is specifically bound by treaty
to form a similar commission to cooper
ate with that of Costa Rica, that govern
ment has never met this requirement and
in this respect alone can any boundary
line dispute be said to exist to-day among
the two Central American republics.
