A NEW REPUBLIC In MEXICO
Confederation of Three Central Amsrio an
States Recognized

After several weeks consideration OF the
status of Scnor Rodriguez tho first Minister
OF the Greater Republic of Central America,
President Cleveland received him and
accepted his credentials. In short speech,
which, while formal in tone, was thorough
ly earnest in its evidence OF good will toward
the new American Union.
The President emphasized the purpose of
our Government to hold the individual States
OF the new Union to responsibility for past
claims. and he indicated IN expectation that
Guatemala aud Costa Rica, which have so far
refrained from joining with the others In the
new republic, would soon give their I'D
herence.
The Minister was accom- mpanied TO the State
Department by his secretary, Senor Corea,
and his son, j. ID. Rodriguez, Jr., who IL an
nttache OF the legation. lie was escorted to
the White House by Secretary Olney, and,
being introduced to the President, delivered
his credentials.
After presenting his credentials the minis
ter made few brief remarks, TO which the
President replied:
~ take pleasure in recognizing. in the
name of the United States OF Americ the
Greater Republic OF Central America, and In
entering into diplomatic relations t,orewith.
Such recognition Is given and such relations
entered upon In the distinct understanding
that the responsibility OF each of these re-
puDncs 10 the united STATES of America re-
mains wholly unaffected. discern I'm the
articles OF association from which the Diet
derives its powers, step toward closer
union OF Central American States In the In
terest OF their common defense and general
welfare, and | welcome 1t as the precursor
OF other steps to be taken In the same di-
rection, and which It IL hoped may event
ually result In the consolidation of all the
States OF Central America as one nation for
all tho Durposl = of foreign relations and in
tercourse. 10 ycr | extend n cordial greet
ing, both personal and official, and trust
that your renewed residence at the capital
Of this country will be as agreeable In its
personal relations as believe 1t will be use
iul and profitable for the countries you rcp-
resent, between each of which and the
United States has always existed, and It is
hoped always will exist, the closest ties OF
friendship"
The President expressed hope that the
new republic would soon include Costa
Rica and Guatemala.

engagements have occurred, resulting in the
capture by the government troops of 10
prisoners. Several rebel camps have been

the continuance of the grinding.
