HONDURAS IS NOW
READY To DISARM
Country is Ready to Submit Its
Troubles to Arbitration
Provided
POSITION OF ROOSEVELT
PRESIDENT HAS NOT VOLUN-
TERED TO- ACT AS ARBlTRA-
TOR, BUT ONLY CONSENTED TO
USE HIS INFLUENCE.
Publishers Press1

Washington, July 16.-Honduras is
willing to disarm and submit it's
grievances to arbitration as soon as
Guatemala and Salvador agree to do
likewise. A dispatch announcing the
Willingness of Honduras to arbitrate
was received by the state department
from Philip H. Brown, the United
States charge, who is looking after
The interests of the United States in
Honduras and Guatemala during the
absence of Leslie Combs, the United
States minister to those countries.
Combs was on his way to the United
States when the war broke out and
has not yet been able to get back to
his post at Guatemala City.
Mr.. Merry, the United States min
lister TO Salvador, advised the depart
ment that he is still negotiating with
the Salvadorean authorities trying to
get them to agree to disarm and meet
Guatemalan ENJOYS in Washington or
elsewhere, to arrange for a settle
ment of the difficulties.
President Roosevelt's activity in
the Central American dispute has
been misunderstood in some quarters,
according to state department Off
Gals. 1t would be highly improper,
it is stated, for the president to offer
his services as an arbitrator and he
mas not done SO. He has merely
suggested to the warning republics
that he will exert his good offices to
assist them in settling their difficult
ties. BY this offer he has in no sense
put himself forward as the proposed
arbitrator of the difficulties which
involve Central America, but as an
advocate of international peace he in
dicated his disposition to do all in his
power to assist Salvador, Guatemala
and Honduras to end a war which is
resulting in much bloodshed and
threatening the national life of sew
eral republics.
Arranging for Peace Conference.
Oyster Bay, July 16.-Peace nego-
tiations between Guatemala and Sal
vador are ching arranged by Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Acting Secretary
OF State Bacon at Sycamore HILL The
question not yet settled is whether
Honduras will become a party to the
negotiations at this time. 1t is rea-
soned here that this hardly would be
fair to compel Guatemala to face two
former foes in a peace conference at
one time. Honduras will probably
agree to the settlement arranged by
the two states promarily involved.
The negotiations, it is stated, will
doubtless be held on board the United
States cruiser Marblehead, now in
Guatemalan waters. The arbitrator
on behalf of the United States and
Mexico will be the Mexican minister
to Central America, Combs and
Merry, United States ministers to
Guatemala and Salvador respectively.
The date and detail of the proceed
ings beyond this have not been ar
ranged.

MULE is FOND OF
COOL LAGER BEER
Sammy" Once Owned by Mayor of Nipton, Cal, but

tion Of life and property in that neigh
borhood.
A passing patrolman noticed the con-
fusion on South Main street and hur-
riedly made for the scene Of hostlli-
ties A score of newsboys were bat
tllng with the mule. Some ingenious
newsie had secured "Sammy's' hind
feet with q section Of rope and this In
turn had been attached to the animal S
neck.
The officer debated for few mo-
mehts whether or not to arrest the
youngsters for cruelty to animals.
When warned Of the animals thirst the
officer decided the pound was the safest
place for the arrival from the desert,
and to the latter green fields went
Sammy" poste haste.
According to several mining men who
are at present in Los Angeles there is
only one beer drinking mule in the
worid-Mayor Hemsteadt's Sammy"
The latter has trained SAMMY to size
up every stranger that wanders into
Nipton, talke hold of the wanderers S
coat tails and tug him off to the nearest
10y parlor" in the desert town.
Il is said to not be an uncommon
sight in Nipton to find the mule
camped at the railroad station and
awaiting the arrivals of the trains. AS
stranger alights from the cars
Sammy" will approach him and gent
ly take hold of his coat tail.
Stays at Station
It is said that there are always pres
ent at the station inha bitants of Nipton
who are acquainted with the proclivi-
ties of Sammy" and information con-
cerning the animals love for the am
ber colored liquid never fails to arouse
the curiosity of the traveller who hap
pens to be picked out by Sammy" as
good for a drink.
Not only can the mule drink beer,
but it will pull out the corks when the
latter are first partly drawn so that
no special effort is required to lift them
from the mouths of the bottle. This
accomplished Sammy will take the
bottle between his teeth. tilt it back at
as graceful an angle as possible and
drain the receptacle.
Beer has a similar effect upon
Sammy that it has upon any of the
inhabitants of Nipton or Los Angeles.
Two quart bottles usually remove the
supporting power from his knees and
Sammy" will spend two or three days
in recovering from jag"
Upon good authority it has been
stated that Sammy never remained
on the water wagon" longer than one
week.
What will happen if Mayor Hem
steadt does not wire for the mules I'M
mediate return can only be told by the
pound master. 1t will be a case of a
sudden sale or journey to the green
pastures" by the bullet route.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-07-08

Sammy" the trained mule belonging
to Gus Hemsteadt, mayor of Nipton,
Cal, better known as the king of the
desert" arrived in Los Angeles yes
terday.
Immediately the animal proceeded to
quench It's acquired thirst for beer by
breaking away from It's captors at the
Santa Fe depot and making a bee line"
for the nearest Eroggery Pandemonium
reigned for the few minutes that pre-
ceded its capture by the freight traffic
managers lieutenants and several
liquid joy participants in a saloon
near the La Grande station.
SAMMY" although not more than
four years of age, has acquired taste
for beer that Is reported often to have
thrown the somnolescent burg of Nip
ton into a state of "dryness." paralleled
only by the climatic conditions in Pasa-
dena
No sooner was Sammy" conducted
from his quarters in the hoboes' Pull
man than he scented what he believed
would be a feast for him in close
proximity to the La Grande station.
is Birthday Gift
The occasion of "Sammys" arrival
was due to the birthday of w. c. Cox
of the Cox Investment company, who
has been an intimate friend of Mayor
Hemsteadt of Nipton for several years.
Last Monday afternoon Mr.. Cox re-
Ceived a telegram from Mayor Hem
steadt to the effect that the mule would
be forwarded to him as birthday gift
Mr. Cox says he protested against the
generosity of Mayor Hemsteadt, and
receiving no reply from the latter con-
cluded that the eccentric official of Nip
ton>had taken exception to CoX's atti
tude toward the famous mule and de-
cided to terminate their friendship.
The mining broker learned he had
interpreted the intentions of Mayor
Hemsteadt incorrectly. Yesterday he
received notice from the railroad Of
ficials that a mule consigned to him
was awaiting immediate disposal by
Mr.. Cox
The latter desired to have nothing
to do with the mule, whether it could
absorb liquified hops like the desert
sand or not. Consequently he turned
his notice over to several neWsboys
with the instructions to sell, kill or eat
the animal on sight.
Secure Possession
The newsboys secured possession of
the mule Sammy" and proceeded to
lead the resident of the desert up Third
street. This was after the animal had
made a temporary escape from the sta
tion hands and bolted into a saloon
near East First street
When in the vicinity of Levy's cafe
the odor of "Sammy's" favorite bev-
erage again greeted his nostris and
his maneuvers threatened the destruc-

his wife's case, as follows:
Il thought would be doing but JUS
tice to your great medicine to tell you
what it has done for my wife.
"Two years ago the doctor called at
our house on an average of three times
a week in attendance upon my wife
who was suffering from acute indi-
gesfion.
"Her suffering was so great that
nothing but morphine would give her
relief.
"While on a visit to some friends in
Norfolk she had an attack and 1 pre-
pared to go for the doctor when our
friend proposed Peruna.

Frequently catarrh victims lose flesh
rapidly. This is due to a derangement
of the digestive organs by catarrh.
Little by little their flesh decreases
until they become, in some instances,
mere skeletons.
A medicine that will remove the ca
tarrh and thus restore the digestive
organs to their natural activity is the
correct remedy for these cases.
A great many people who have lost
flesh for months, on beginning to take
Peruna, find their flesh returning.
They soon have solid healthy flesh
and their weight comes back to normal,
showing that Peruna has indeed
wholesome effect upon the system.
We have numerous testimonials COW
ering this point.
