EXPECT TO JOIN US.
Central America Looks to Union With
United States

New York, July 12.-Martin Roberts,
financial representative of the govern
ment of Guatemala, is in the city trying
that little republic by American capital
the other republics making up the Cen
trail American states look forward to the
day when they will be a part of the
United States.
Besides the agitation there for annex
alton, Mr.. Roberts says there is a pro-
ard. The fault found with silver is that
it fluctuates with the crops
1.-The stories from San Francisco -
said Mr.. Roberts, regarding an i'm
pending revolution in Guatemala are all
nonsense. One of the prominent men
sending out the alarming report, is a
grocery man. The others are about
equally important. You see it is easy
to start either a story or a revolution
in Guatemala. All that is necessary is
a half dozen hungry men and some
thing to eat. When the men try to get
something to eat without paying for it
there is your revolution
The immediate trouble just now is
about the debaSement of silver. That
metal is the standard there and it
ductuates with the price of coffee There
was a tremendous crop of coffee this
year and even now more is growing
there than ever before. The result is
that the price has fallen to a degree
never known before and somehow the
silver follows ii. There is no use in de-
nying that the metal is greatly debased
in Guatemala and that fact has
brought about the present bad fnan-
cial and business conditions. But to
talk of a revolution on that account
is nonsense"

BUSHES IT ALONG.
Attorney General Griggs Refers a
Point to Secretary AIger.

Washington, July 12.-Attorney Cen
eraI Griggs has rendered an opinion in
the matter of the construction of a sys-
tenn of sewers and the paving of the
streets of Havana by a contract made
with Michael J. Dady & Co, pursuant
to the provisions Of the old Spanish
law.
The attorney general says he is IN
able to definitely state whether Dady
& Co, have any rights under the pro-
ceedings of the authorities in Havana
relating to the matter of constructing
works according to plans prepared by
said corporation and alleged to have
been adopted by the municipality.
IF Dady & Co.. he adds, lat the
time the treaty of Paris was signed,
had any rights under their alleged con-
tract which could properly be called
vested rights, those rights are undoubt-
eddy preserved by the terms of the
treaty. The practical question for the
military authorities in Havana is
whether it is advisable, as a public
matter, and having in mind solely the
public interests. to permit a contract,
which is cOncededly inchoate, which in
wolves the expenditure of as much as
$4,000, 000 and which involves the tear
ing up and disturbance of streets of
the city in manner which may great
