respect that they are true. Mr.. Fred

SALVADOR STILL OBJECTS.
Unwilling to Pay the Award Against
.1rHer.


The Salvadorean government still adheres
to the objection5n'ad to the payment Of
the award by aR arbitrational tribunal in
favor of an American concern. and ap-
parently still hopes for some concession
on the part Of the United States. although
there is no indication that such concession
will be made by this government.
The Salvadorean government claims,
among other things, that ship for which
the claimants were awarded certain sum
was never the property of the claimants.
But it appears that the SUM allowed on ac-
count of that vessel was only something
like $4,000, while the aggregate of the
award Is something over 500. eco. On the
part of the claimants 1t is urged that they
negotiated for the vessel and made par
tial payment. but through the fault of the
Salvadorean government they were pre-.
vented from concentrating the purchase
and were not able to secure title. and were
awarded damage according to what was
shown to have been their loss in that con-
nection.
