CENTRAL AMERICA
A DISTURBING FACTOR
Administration Greatly Perturbed
Over Reports That Have
Been Received.
REVOLUTION TO BE GENERAL.
President viii Outline "a Canal Pol
icy--Noting the Necessity OF
building the Canal With
American Capital.

Washington, Oct. 4.-The administra-
ton is greatly perturbed over reports
from Central America that insurrec-
lions nave started in various states,
and It fears that within the next sixty
Jays a revolution involving all but Cos
Ia Iica will burst forth in violence. Al
ready the navy department has sent a
vessel, the Alert, to OcCs and Champer-
leo, Guatemala, to protect American in
terests there. Probably in a few days
the Newport, which has been a training
ship for naval cadets, will be dispatched
TO some point ON the Nicaragua coast.
1t Is believed that President Mckinley
IN his annual address TO congress mex
December will speak OF the necessity of
completing the Nicaragua canal with
United States capital and he may show
taNor TO the proposition 10 negotiate a
.reaty with the greater republic of Cen
tral America, since that government has
declined to accept the terms proposed by
congress.
The Maritime Cana inter
posed objections to n treaty, but assur-
ances have been given privately that
these objections may be overcome by
the payment Of a sufficient sum by the
state of Nicaragua to reimburse them
for what they have already spent in en-
deavoring to complete the waterway.
Warner Miller and others Of the com
pany recently requested the president
10 protect their rights in the canal and
save them from losing all that they had
put into it.
1t may be stated that the greater re-
public of Central America is willing
that company shall be paid a proper
sum. but it questions some OF the FIX
penditures which the company reports
having made. The company admits Its
inability to raise the capital and build
the canal. but it hopes to prevent any
other corporation or government from
completing the waterway until It's
claims have been satisfied.

ish navy are for the first time to be sup
llied with salt as an article OF Diet
Pepper and mustard have always been
supplied, but hitherto Jack has been
obliged 10 huy his own salt If he wanted
any. The el3on for this is that in the
past sailors at sea were fed 50 cXclu-
