adopted in 1898, but Salvador showed
dissatisfaction, the union was dis
solved just month after the adoption
of the constitution.
At the time of the organization of
The Republic of the United States of
Central America that territory had
been for some Is months past por-
ton of Mexico. The captair-general-
cy of Guatemala, which included all
of Central America, in 1921 had de-
clared itself independent and in 1922
was united to the Mexican Empire of
Iturbide. Iturbide fell from power
very shortly, and shortly Central
America was standing alone.
Central America and Mexico had
suffered alike from the Spanish OPP
pressor To go far back, to the early
part of the sixteenth century, to the
day when the Spanish finished their
subjugation of Mexico, we find them
Enthusiastically greedy for added
conquests. Hearing of the wealth
and beauty of the lands beyond, the
conqueror marched to the southwark,
swept with fire and sword over Guate
mala For 800 years Spain held sway.
To-day the name Guatemala repre-
sents but one of group of Central
American governments. The presi-
dent of Guatemala is Don Manuel
Estrada Cabrera, who has held the
reins since 1899. President Cabrera
has held his place by force of arms,
and his so-called czar-like rule is con-
sidered cause of the present troubles.
Guatemala is largest and most i'm
portant of the five republics that form
the Central American states. 1t
boasts about half the total population,
leads in extent of domestic and for
eign commerce. 1t has a frontage of
200 miles on the Pacific and of 20
miles on the Caribbean sea. Like Sal
vador Il suffers from volcanic erup-
lions and severe earthquake shocks,
city and plantation laid waste. In
the low, hot, fever-infested regions
the white man cannot settle, but
among the mountains there are health
full temperate regions, high cool pla-
teaus. In 1903 the population was
$4,000; about 60 per cent. pure In
dams, most of the remainder half
castles. Guatemala by favorable legis-
lation has endeavored to attract i'm
migration, but the foreign population
is only 10000.
The TERRA fra (cold lands, above
5000 feet) are adapted to the cultiva-
ton of wheat, potatoes and apples,
and even up here, In localities well ex-
posed to the sun. may be grown the
products OF the lower attitudes, sugar
cane and cotton, oranges and bananas.

Manufactures and mining are but
little developed, Guatemala is an
agricultural country, the temperate
lands the great source Of the country's
wealth. Coffee is the principal prod
uct; in quantity harvested it is sur
passed only by Brazil and the East
Indies; it is cultivated on a large
scale by German and United States
planters, on q small scale by large
numbers of Guatemalans. Coffee is
the chief article of export, sent main
ly to Germany, the United States, and
Great Britain. Cotton goods form
the chief import, largely supplied by
Great Britain, the United States, Ger
many and France We send over also
railway materials, telegraph and cleo
trical supplies, building materials and
iron manufactures. Direct steamship
communication between San Francis
co and Guatemala was established in
1900.

over to Manhattan and up to the little
Greek church, Seventy-second street,
near Lexington avenue, where there
was another wedding, according to the

There was a crowd of the couples

which included hymns and chants by
