camp was pitched on Eaton's Neck, whichi
in the fall season during past years has
always been the scene of a merry Juvenile
bivouac with the President as the CEN

fires were not needed, as 1t was one of
the warmest days the summer season has
produced in the vicinity of Oyster Bay.
Before morning 1t rained in torrents.
The President and his party went to

Permanent Peace Between The
Bitter Enemies is Looked
Upon as Impossible
RICH AND POOR FIGHT
FOR NATIVE SALVADOR
Cruiser MarbIehead Will Take on
Peace ENJOYS Today, but in
Meantime Fighting Con-
tInues Unabated.

San Salvador, July 17.-Notwithstand-
ing President Cabrera's agreement with
the President of Mexico to cease fighting
pending peace negotiations in Central
America. two sharp engagements have
occurred in Salvador just across the Gau-
temalan border One was at Platanar
and the other was at Metapan. The Sal
vadoreans were victorious in both en-
gagements.
Within two hours after Cabrera agreed
TO suspend hostilties his troops attacked
the Salvadorean army at Platanar, only
to be defeated by the latter this morn
ing. The fighting at Metapan occurred
yesterday morning.
Both Metapan and Platanar would be
the objective points in a march to San
tana, the summer capital of Salvador.
Never in the history of any country
has there been such a patriotic spirit
shown as in Salvador at the present time.
Rich and poor are serving alike as was
shown in the engagement yesterday. In
the battle Col. Adalberto Guirola, son of
the millionaire Angel Guirola, lost his life.
He was a graduate of West Point, and
when the war broke out enlisted with
thousands of his countrymen. He was
about 80 years of age and worth half
million dollars in his own right.

Mr. Grammar said:

SHORTAGE is FOo.. }
IN TREASURY OFFICE
ACCOUNTS OF THE LATE GEORGE
A. BARTLETT ARE ABOUT $4,000
IN ARREARs-TRouBLE DUE TO
BAD SYSTEM.

Washington, July 17.-It was stated at
the treasury department today that an
investigation recently concluded of the
accounts of the late Major George A.
Bartlett disburslng officer of the treasury
department shows a shortage approx
mating $4,000. About $4,000 of this
amount, however, Is said to have been
innocently paid out on fraudulent
vouchers presented by James W. Boyd,
clerk in the marine hospital, who in
September last was arrested and is now
in Jail pending his trial for misappro-
priating government funds.
Although Bartlett was technically re-
sponslble for payments on Boyd's fraudu-
lent vouchers, the shortage in his own
office will probably not exceed $4,000.
The treasury officials have no means of
| knowing just how long this shortage has
| been standing, but are inclined to the
| opinion that comparatively small amounts
have been taken from time to time during
a period of several years. Under the
old system such peculations were compar
atively easy. Several months ago, how
