will say tomnrrow: Mr. Charles w. Wells,
Of Brown and Wells. who. besides conducts
are interested in a Honduras syndicate,
which is engaged under concession from
Honduras in building d railroad from the
Gulf 10 the Pacific, told me yesterday that
white III new federation would be OF decid-
ed advantage to Nicaragua and Honduras.
there is a question aa to its value to Sal
yador. s
The reported uprising at Lbertad Is
probably for the purpose OF upsettlng the
consolidation before It is really in working
order. Our agent in Honauras, who was
here recently, Informed us that n rc1olu-
ton iii Salvador was expected as d result
OF the consolidation. We have, however,
had no advices that trouble had actually
been begun"
N. Boet Peraza, consul general in this
city for the Greater Republic of Central
America, which was formed some time ago
by salvador. Honduras and Nicaragua for
consular and diplomatic purposes, said yes
terdy that he had received no report of IA
rovolutionin Salvador.
= do mot think that there can be any
serious uprising or I should have been no
titled. The officers of the new government
have not vet been elected. and do not see
why the people OF Salvador should start n
revolution before the new plan is gwen a
trial.
Il believe it would prove to be local
disturbance and easily put down."
