a dispatch just received at the State De-
partment from United States Consul Jen-
klns ut San Salvador shows that the DO
htical situation in that country is disturbed
and threatening, and as a measure of pru-
dence it has been deemed advisable to send
a war ship to that country to safeguard
the interests of the United States in the not
improbable outbreak of revolution
The vessel selected for this mission is the
sunboat Marietta, which recently arrived
at San Francisco from cruise in Alaskan
waters. She is row being overhauled but
Will be ready to go to sea next week Her
Orders are to proceed to La Libertad and
remain there until further orders. The dis.
lance to the Salvadoran port is about 900
miles. and it will take the little gunboat
about two weeks to cover it. 1t was orisi-
nally intended t. send the Marietta TO tho
Chinese station. and she will probably pro-

service iE Central America

CITY AND SUBURBAN ROAD
Proposed New Name for the lexington Rail-
road and Connecting Lines.
The Electric System to BE Installed
At IN EARLY Date, So
IL is Said.

A bill Is soon to be introduced in Congress
asking for authority to consolidate the
lexington and Soldiers Home Railroad
Company with the Washington and Mary
land and also with that portion Of the line
OF the Columbia and Maryland which ex-
teEds from the District bounds to Lake
land, Md. AS is well known. these roads
passed recently in the control of a syndi-
cate, Of which Mr.. John E. Searles of New
York is member. when the sale of the
Columbia and Maryland railroad was ef-
fected.
As was published at the time. it is the
purpose of the new syndicate. according to
! their own statements. to at once develop
the various railroad properties as far a.
the lines in Baltimore and in Washington
are concerned. and that portion of the Co
| lumbia and Maryland which extends TO
points in the suburbs Of both cities. leaving
the intermediate section of the proposed
electric road between Baltimore and this
city to be completed at some future time.
To Equip the lexington Road.
1t was also stated. on the same author
ity, that the lexington railroad would a,
once be equipped with the underground
electric system, and 1t is now said by Mr..
o. T. Crosby of this city. who is a member
of the syndicate, that arrangements are
being perfected for installing the new sys-
tenn on the lexington road.
The purpose of the bill which it is pro-
posed to introduce in Congress. Mr.. Crosby
states, is to have one corporation con-
trolling these three lines instead Of three
companies as at present. although they are
all owned and controlled by the same par
ties.
The mama of the new company is to be
the City and Suburban Railroad. He says
that arrangements have already been made
for n bond issue covering these various
properties, the proceeds OF which will be
used in making the proposed Improvements.
Some of the Plans.
He said it is the desire to get such legis-
lative action at once. if practicable. as il
would facilitate the financial mana cement
of the undertaking. But he says that if
such a bill cannot be gotten through Con-
gress. that the work of installing the new
system will go on.
AS is well known. the lexington road. or
rather its main line, runs from 18th and
street. or the Treasury Department to
New York avenue. thence to lexington.
via 1th street. east TO Brookland Where
the line of Rhode Island avenue extended
intersectS 4th street east the char;erd
rights of the Washington and Maryland
road begins, and road has been con-
structed from that point along Rhode ISL
and avenue extended to the District bounds.
From the latter point the Columbia and
Maryland road begins. lying. of course,
entirely in Maryland. and as stated above
ii is proposed for the present. at least. to
operate the road as far AS Lakeland, Md.
