there will be grcenswari, towering beds,
spacious walks and brightly colored
booths.
The management has been handicapped

to remedy the matter and it is hoped to
overcome all obstacles within Il few days.

of construction.

PEACE Is SEEN IN
CENTRAL AMERICA.
Other Republics VIII Not Become En-
bro!led in the Present Mix

WASHINGTON, d. c.. April 6. -
The war between Honduras and Mic
aragua, according to FREDERICK Mcjia,
the new SalvadOrean minister to the
United States, will likely be settled with
out embroiling other Central American
republics.
Senior Mejia said: 1T is highly to
the interests of the republics of Saliva
dor, Costa Rica. and Guatemala that
peace should be brought about as soon
as possible in order to avoid the chance
that the war may be extended into their
respective domains.
10 that end representatives of these
countries here will do all they can.
Meanwhile those countries have found it
eApedIent to mobilize troops on their re
spectlve frontiers. When | left home
Salvador had about $500 men on the Dor
der, though it would be possible to in
crease that number to 10000.
Tired of Continual Wars.
Even though Salvador, Costa RiCa.
and Guatemala are not directly engaged
III the war, they necessarily suffer as
long as the war continues. Their COM
merce is destroyed to large extent.
BUSINESS must be dormant for the time
being. Communication must be inter
rest.
The conservative people of Central
America are tired of these wars, which
have continued for half n century They
realize that if all the money that has
been spent for slaughter and the salts
faction of the selfish ambitions of some
individuals during that time had been
turned to the building of good roads,
schools and other instrumentalities of
civilization Central America would prob
ably comprise one united prosperous and
happy nation today.
Confederacy Some Day.
Those means of communications that
have been established already have
brought the peoples of the countries in
ITO closer relations, but the time has not
yet come when it would be possible TO
amalgamate them into one cOnfederacy,
either by force or convention, because
the nation would again break up as a
result of the insufficient means of put
ting down numerous instructions. But
within ten years the time may come
when such a plan would be entirely
feasible

to ship $4,000 in silver by the Sainam
leaked out, when the ship sailed from
Canton. The specie was not aboard
for at the last moment it was with
held. However, some of the pirates
took passage at Canton, others came on
board at Kun Chuk and Kan Kong,
and mixed with the other native pas
sengers. While the ship was nearing
SamOhul, several long Chinese junks
the steamer, the pirates on board the
Sainam made a signal for the upris-
ing.
The uprising was ingeniously devised.
There appeared to be a disturbance
among the Chinese passengers on the
lower deck. Four Indian watchmen on
guard rushed forward to Quell it, but
as soon as they laid hands on the man
who appeared to have been responsible,
they were attacked by the pirates, who
used reyOlvers and knives with rapidity
and certainty.
In few minutes the Sainan was in
the hands of the Chinese, who began
systematic search for loot They dis
covered the $4,000 had not been placed
on board, but they made off with all
the money and valuables they could
find, and broke open doors, windows,
boxes, during their hunt for treasure.
Then they all dropped over the side
into the waiting junks and put off.
Captain Joslin. although seriously
wounded, took charge of the ship and
ported the attack, but the Chinese gun
boats were tardy in leaving. The Chi
nese gunbOat commanders always ap-
pear to fear they might catch the pi-
rates. So the British river gunboat
Moorhen was dispatched up the river,
but, as usual, the pirates escaped.
But there are other kinds of buccan-
GERS in the Pacific. These are the
ckbirders," the slayers which still
continue in business among the islands
in Polynesia, Micronesia and the scat
tered and unfrequented spots in the an
tipodes
One Of the most notorious OF these
blackbirders was certain Captain Ha-
bernick of the schooner Samoa. The
Samoa, about three years ago, captured
about 200 natives on one of the isl
ands in the Solomon group and sold
them to work in Samoa These island
ers, while not sold into slavery as it
once was practiced in this country and
the West Indies, were practically slaves
just the same. They are not slaves in
one sense of the word, but their chance
of being freed Is very slight. They
are supposed to be hired for term of
three years. They are paid $3.50 q
month, but they have to take their
wages in trade. The "blackbirder"
gets So { head for every laborer he OBJ
tafns, and as he generally does a lit
tie legitimate freight carrying to dis
arm suspicion and to account for his
frequent presence in these waters, there
is fair remuneration in the bust
ness.
