Nearly :, year ago this spirit of dis-
trust on the part of the Latin-A:ncr:-

the United States of Columbia, of {.
proposition to combine the nations Of
South and Central America In that
case the ostcnsiblc purpose was to resist
unjust demands for indemnities by for
eign states.
A DEEP SEATED DISTRUST.
But incidentally during the discussion
it appeared that the se1F5r OF the COM
bination would be broader than this and
there was more than one intimation of
Il deep seated distrust Of the United
States. Two or three events have oc-
CURED since that discussion 20
strengthen this feeling.
First there was a decision adverse to
Columbia in the Cerruti case, and, as
President Cleveland Was the arbi traior,
that unpopular decision was charged
against the United States.
