founded and civilization was built up on this continent which the Spaniards had largely learned from the Moors In Granada many of the old buildings still stand.
 All the countries of Central America were united under the name of Guate- mala and a captain general presided over them. Those who have followed the history of Spain know how the proud old land ruled her Central Amer ican possessions. The native race was decimated under the hardships imposed by their conquerors. The labor on the plantations and the toll in the mines brought death. Europeans and negroes were brought to the country.
 Then Mexico gained her freedom Then the Central American provinces of Spain demanded independence and in 1921 they received it. The Federal Union of Central America was founded in 1923. and until the close of 1889 it held the five States together. The States withdrew one by one.
 With this period the name of General Morazon will always be associated. He was one of the founders of the union. Even after 1t had gone to pieces he tried to join together the fragments to get the blocks which formed this puzzle of five into regular order again. He was shot at San Jose, in Costa Rica, in 1S42. whither he had gone to attempt coup III the interest or unlneQ cen tral America.
 1 Several efforts have been made since | that. Unrest was the leading trait in
 the political character of these repub- | lies. Revolutions sprang up from time
 to time in all of them. It was charged | by each republic that it's neighbor or | neighbors were giving aid to the revo- | lutioniStS which she had expelled rom | her borders.

forests of Honduras, Salvador and Mic aragua. Salvador has had several en- counters with Guatemala, and Mica raeua and Costa Rica are on especially good terms. It has always been said when the subject of the union of the five republics was discussed that Guatemala was the key of the situation. The United States of Central America look to the north and the south. and there Is a chip on its shoulder. Let Guatemala try conclusions with little Salvador, if she will and there are Nic- aragua and Honduras ready to join the fray Let Costa Rica throw down the gage of war to Nicaragua, the United States of Central America will go into the arena to pick 1t up,
 Theoretically the five States are sup posed to have a community of inter- eStS; to be a greater republic, the mem bers of which are bound together by in dissoluble ties. Revolution seems in born in the body polite of these coun- tries.
 The wars and internal disorders have undoubtedly interfered with the pros perity and progress of the republics. While the United States of America was building railroads, retaining the wilderness and improving harbors Gen. tral America was pursuing the game of revolution. War and intrigue, the ere ation of governments only to be over thrown by the appearance of a few hundred armed men have filled the life ot the people these many years. There was a time when you might make your way through Central America with the simple direction: Go south three revo- lutions and turn one revolution to the right" Stability of government, the completion of ship canal, the ex- change of products with the United States may work wonders in this land Of
 Here is the oldest community on the American continent and yet the last to take to itself government which gives some sign of being an abiding one.
 It was on this neck of land which Co., lumbus set foot when he first reached this continent. That was in 1902. Twenty years passed by and then the conqueror- of Mexico-Hernando Cor tes-hearing stories of the fabulous wealth of the countries which lay be- low, started south. with an army of seasoned, mail-clad veterans.
 He reached his destination after two years of almost incredible hardship. He conquered Guatemala. The natives were slaughtered by the thousand. The conqueror or his lieutenants possessed the land. Granada, in Nicaragua, was

 If the resources of this new nation were properly developed it would be- come rich and peaceful nation. The forests of all three of the countries are rich in mahogany and dyewoOds; gold and silver have been found, there is m abundance of coal, and there are for tunes in coffee and tropical fruits. The future of this trio of republics depends in a large measure as to what policy may be pursued with regard to the Mi caraguan canal. The present conces- sion expires next year. The United States of America, it will be remem- bered, sent a delegation of officers and engineers under Admiral Walker to make an examination of canal routes. It is proposed to use the San Juan River, the boundary between Nicara- qua and Costa Rica, and Lake Nica- ragua as a part of the proposed water way across Central America.

when father writes that yours is the
best medicine IN the world" you can
allow something for seeming extrava-
gance in the statement if you know that
the medicine so praised, cured loved
daughter of disease and restored to her
the eyesight nearly lost. The best med
icine in the world for you is the medicine
that cures you. There can't be anything
better. No medicine can do more than
cure. That is why John 5. Goode, OF
Orrick, Mo-, writes in these strong terms:
"Dr.Ayer's Sarsaparilla is the best med
icine in the world. My daughter had
relapse after the measles, due to taking
cold. She was nearly blind, and was obliged
to remain in a dark room all the time.
The doctors could give her no relief; one
of them directed me to give her Ayers
Sarsaparilla. Two bottles cured her COM
pletely."
The thousands of testimonials to the
value of DIR. Ayers Sarsaparilla repeat
over and over again, in one form or another
the expression: THE doctors gave her
no relief; one of them directed me to
give her DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla. Two
bottles completely cured her"

anticipation of friendly welcome he called

A NEW SQUADRON.
Naval Vessels Will Be Stationed at
Hampton Roads.
The Big Monitor, the Puritan, the Most
Powerful Ship AfOat in Smooth Water,
When Finished VIII BE Sent to Key
West From Norfolk, Virginia.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The event
of the day in official circles was the is
sue of an order for the formation
of new squadron of naval
vessels to be stationed at Hamp-
ton Roads. The squadron in the be-
ginning will consist of five ships, all
the best of their types. Two of them,
the battleships Massachusetts and Tex
as are withdrawn from the present
North Atlantic fleet at Key West and
Tortugas.

contrary the formation of the new

squadron was brought about by purely
strategic considerations, although it
appears from the nature of the
force SO far under orders to
rendezvous at Hampton Roads, that
this strategy is of the defensive ma
ture. The new squadron can not be
called flying squadron" because the
association of heavy battleships with
feet cruisers like the Brooklyn, Column
bia and Minneapolis reduces the avail
able speed of the whole to the speed of
the slowest vessel, and the squadron
could not do much flying in the
naval sense. The indications rather
are that when reinforced by some
smaller cruisers the squadron will con-
stitute an ideal naval defense. For
the past two months influences have
been at work in the navy department
about this change, and as a policy
board, headed by Capt. Crowninshield
has been in frequent session of late at
the department, it is believed that it
has endorsed the plan at last. AL
though the other ships to be added to
the squadron have not yet been def
nitely selected it is SurmiSed that they
will include some of the other battle
ships at Key West and the armored
cruiser New York, in which case Adm.
Sicard, it is believed, will command
the new force. In place of the cruiser
New York the people of Key West
will look upon the grim outlines of
the big monitor, Puritan, supposedly
the most powerful ship in smooth
water in the world. She will have to
assist her on guard the double-turreted
monitor MiantOnOmah and the monitor
Amphitrite. The Puritan is now at
Norfolk almost ready for sea; the
Miantonomah is at League Island quite
ready, and SO is the Amphitrite at Port
Royal, S. c. So the order in the end
will result in the gathering of the pick
of the North Atlantic squadron
at Hampton Roads. The point
is said to be the best strategic
ally on the Atlantic coast. 1t is al
most centrally located and the ships
from that point can reach any portion
of the coast in short order, which is re-
garded as desirable since no one can
tell just where a fiotilla of torpedo de-
stroyerS or a fast cruiser may turn up
with hostile intent to attack
town. Besides, the second best
navy yard in the country is there
to fall back upon for repairs
to the ships, plenty of the best coal is
at Newport News thereis easy water
to navigate, and finally the forts at
Hampton Roads may serve asa base of
operations in case of need for protec-
ton. These are the considerations
which animated the navy department
in making this new order. 1t is
announced that the commander of
the new squadron has not yet been
selected, and pending that selection
or the arrival in port of Adm. Sicard
it is expected that Capt Hig-
ginson, the commander of the battle
ship Massachusetts, and the senior of
fcer will hold the command of the
squadron.
Remaining at Key West after the
departure of the Massachusetts, and
the Texas, Adm. Sicard will still have
a feet of his own in numbers, when
the spectacle will be presented of a
