PROSPERITY IN GUATEMALA.
Minister Hunter Speaks of American
CAPITAL There,

oaQltuA 1ncres
DIR. w. Godfrey Hunter, United States
minister to Guatemala and Honduras. who
was in the city for few hours today, to
an Evening Star reporter said:
Under the administration of President
Manuel Estrada Cobrera. who is one Of the
most enlightened of statesmen, Guatemala
has experienced prosperity as never before.
There is a great deal of American capital
now in Guatemala. The entire railroad
system in the republic is controlled by
Americans and American capital The line
from Guatemala City, the capital Of the re-
public, to San Jose, on the Pacific coast, a
distance of 100 miles, built by the late Col
lis P. Huntington. has been a most paying
investment and is magnifcentiy conducted.
"On the Atlantic coast an American syn
dicate is constructing a railroad from the
Gulf of Honduras to, Guatemala City. dis
tanee Of 200 miles. which will be completed
in about eighteen months. This road, with
the contemplated branch to Santa Anna
and Salvador will divert the entire traffic
of the two republics to Puerta Barrios and
the Gulf Of Honduras. which Is only three
days run by boat to New Orleans. You
will readily see Of what great Importance
this will be to the commercial interests OF
the United States.
American Investments in Guatemala and
Honduras are as secure as IN the United
States. No class Of citizens are respected
and esteemed more than Americans. This
was demonstrated when the news Of Presi-
dent McKinley's death was received. Just
a that time great preparations were being
made for festivities incident to the celebra
ton of the anniversary of Guatemala's dec
laration of independence and the establish
ment of a republic. President Cobrera is
sued a proclamation postponing the festiv-
tiles and ordering the entire court in
mourning for eight days Flags were at
half mast on all the public buildings and
all officials, from the highest to the ordi-
nf
A special messenger, ]. +. Munoz. was sent
to Washington with message of SYM
pathy and coincidence"
Minister Hunter will go to New York to-
night. From there he will go to his old
home in Kentucky and expects to be back
at his post in about three weeks.

DENMARK IMPOSES CONDITIONS.
Future of Citizens of Danish West In.
dies the Issue.


The projected treaty Of cession Of the
Danish West Indies to the United States
is not SO well advanced as it was hoped
would be the case at this season Of the
year, and it Is now doubtful whether the
treaty will be completed in time to submit
to Congress when it reassembles next
month. The delay appears to have arisen
through the last change in the ministry at
Copenhagen. The State Department had
practically reached an agreement with the
Danish government on the treaty; in fact.
all questions of large principle had been
adjusted, when the entry into power Of
new ministry not well disposed toward the
treaty made it necessary to begin the work
all over again. and while the negotiations
are proceeding they have not yet reached
a point where it can be certainly predicted
that treaty will result. The issues do not
touch the price to be paid so much as the
conditions to the future of the citizens
of the Danish West Indies sought to be
imposed by Denmark are concerned. The
United States desires a simple treaty, and
one that will leave 1t at perfect liberty to
deal with the islands In the future with
out any restrictions imposed by treaty.

The Goddess of Liberty.
@ Editor Of The .Fvep,up Star.

10 tne hdltor OF The Evening Star:
Go We unto all the world and proclaim
Liberty tothe Inhabitants thereof
The grand statue of Liberty on the dome
OF the Capitol cannot be appreciated by a
person looking at it from the ground, be-
cause the distance is too great. and pic
lures. OF course. are not as satisfactory as
a proper view of the statue itself, at a
proper distance. 1 therefore propose that a
copy. duplicate statue, in bronze, be pre-
pared by the architect of the Capitol and
placed at some suitable point on the east
ern front of the Capitol grounds or other
appropriate site, possibly where the Peace
statue now stands, which it has been
recommended be removed to Arlington
cemetery. so that all the people. including
visitors. can have an opportunity Of seeing
the statue in all it's beauty. well as
grandeur. / have no doubt that Congress
will appropriate a sufficient sum for this
purpose If properly petitioned. I hope the
Board of Trade and Business Mems Asso-
citation will take up the question and de-
eide to actin the matter of a petition.

Supreme Court Decides Adversely to
His Claim.
In the United States Supreme Court an
opinion was handed down today in the case
OF Milton c. Mitchell against the Potomac
Insurance Company Of Georgetown. Nit
chell is a hardware merchant, residing in
Georgetown. whose store was burned a few
years ago. When he sought to collect on
his insurance. amounting to 5000, the in
surance company refused payment, making
the defense that the fire was due to an cx-
plosion of gasoline kept In the store. The
case was taken into the courts of the Dis
trict, and the decisions there were uni
formly against Mitchell. The decision to-
day was affirmative of the findings Of the

Change in Name of school.

Commissioner Macfarland has recommend
ed to his associates: that the name Of the
Twining City school be changed to the
Benjamin G. Orr School," in honor OF a
gentleman who was once mayor OF the city
Of Washington The board of education
recommended that the name of the school
be changed because of the confusion aris-
ing over the similarity of the names Of the
Twining school and the Twlning City
school. and suggested the name Of John
E. Herrell. The Commissioners decided
some time ago that the name should be
changed to the Orr school, but definite ac-
ton was not taken until today. The nam
ing OF a school for Mayor Orr Is in line
with the policy OF the Commissioners to
give to the public, schools the names of
deceased Presidents of the United States,
governors Of the District. mayors of the
cities. OF Washington and Georgetown and
Commissioners Of, the District Of Columbia.
