department yesterday received the fol-
lowing cablegram from Philip r.

cation at Tegucigalpa, the capital OF
Honduras:
'Tegucigalpa was abandoned early
yesterday precipitately. 1t was occu-

Salvador Victorious.
San Salvador, March 28.-The army
of Salvador is concentrated on the
frontier in complete order, with all the
necessary war munitions. 1t is stated
here that, in spite Of reports to the
contrary, Salvador has been victorious
in all encounters with Nicaraguans,
who are unable to advance any further
on Tegucigalpa, which is strongly for
titled.
The censorship here is severe. Even
the local newspapers are not allowed
to publish news of the victories Of
President Zelaya of Nicaragua.
Jealousy Among Generals.
It is asserted that the armies of Sal
vador and Honduras have not been
acting together, probably on account
of jealousies between the generals,
while the Nicaraguan army is said to
be we'll disciplined.
The general opinion is that Presi-
dent Figueroa of Salvador must make
a supreme effort if he is to save him
self from the attacks Of Zelaya and
also from his numerous internal enc
mics, and that unless Guatemala
comes openly TO the assistance Of Sal
vador the chances favor the Nicara-
guanS

LIKES ROOSEVELT
Prof Schiemsnn Pays Him a Great Compliment in the
 Wocheuschrift
IS IN LINCOLN'S CLASS

Berlin, Aug 29.-"Even his errors do honor in every case to his person. ality," writes Prof Schiemann in an article on President Roosevelt, which appears Saturday in the Interna- tionale Wochenschrift. The profess sor places the president in the same class as Washington, Jackson and Lincoln, while thinking that Presi- dent Roosevelt probably influenced the American people more than the other presidents mentioned, through his peculiarities of character, imag- nation, will power and practical pol itics."
 Religiously, the professor finds in President Roosevelt a spirit of Cal vinism without intolerance, and says his services to the world in promot- ing peace fully entitled him to the Nobel prize, but the professor is equally opposed to "the enervating doctrine of eternal peace"
 Among the American statesmen President Roosevelt. Prof Schie- mann adds, ranks foremost in his appreciation of German character and in his confidence in it, and the pro lessor thinks it inconceivable that MT Roosevelt's retirement from the presidency will close his political ca reer, as the American people will not let his power lie fallow."

RUNOUS POLICY
New Proclaimed Sultan of Mo rocco Has Issued a Prela-
 nation.

Paris, Agug 29.--A despatch to the Matin from Casablanca confirms the report that 'MuIai Hafig, the newly proclaimed sultan of Morocco, had issued proclamation at Mazagan, declaring that the policy of Sultan Abdel Aziz had been ruinour to Mo- rocco and stating that he proposed to satisfy the French demands and enter into good relations with France and all the other powers. The proelama- ton is regarded as being of the great est importance as it implies that Mu- .lai Hafig has the support of all tile principal tribes of the southern part of Morocco. @
 The Tangier correspondent of the Matin telegraphs that couriers have arrived at Tangier from Fez bearing orders from Sultan Avdel Aziz to the Moroccan war minister, Gabbas, im- mediately to send two caids, with troops to join Gen El Merani, and go with them to Fez. If this order is carried cut the correspondent adds, Tangier will be depleted of troops and be at the mercy of Raisuli, who is described as being much encouraged by his victory over Gen Fl Merain.
 A despatch from Morocco city dated August 25, says that sIulai Hafg made several changes in his ministry before departing for the coast and also liberated all the prisoners .incar- cerated., at Morocco city during the reign of Abdel Aziz.

TO RESTORE PEACE.

Roosevelt and Diax OTer Good Off,
 Aces to Central America.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.--President Roosevelt and President Diaz simulta. neously have telegraphed notes to the presidents of the five republics of Cen tral America offering the good offices of the United States and Mexico in bringing about conference of the re publics for discussion of plans to maintain peace. The announcement that this action had been taken was made by Acting Secretary Adee of the state department. 1t was stated also that the notes would not be made pub lie here until they had been received by the Central American states and probably not until replies had been re. ceiyed. The exact time of sending the notes was not made known, but 1t is possible that replies from some of the countries already. have reached Wash ington. and 1t is believed that all y.;lI be here within twenty four hours -.
 Mr.. Adce received Minister Godoy. charge d'affnires of the Mexican em- bassy,. and they conferred at length concerning the steps taken looking to the settlement of Central American disputes and ending the almost inces- sant warfare between the republics. Neither would admit that the Central American republics had been invited to hold the conference at Washington, but Senor Corea, the Nicaraguan min ister, is authpgtty for the statement that such an Invitation soon will be extended. In fact, he telegraphed Pres ident Zelaya to that effect.
 In diplomatic circles here 1t is said that none of the Central American re- publics can afford to decline to accept the proffers of mediation made by the United States and Mexico and that this means that permanent peace prac- tically is assured.

GROUNDUNDERWHEELS
Eight Year Old Boy Killed By ...... Freight Train.

Michael Houlihan, the eight year
 old son of James Houlihan of Al
 South Fifth street. was run over by
 freight train about 200 feet from
 the Washington avenue crossing last evening shortly after ' o'clock, his
 injuries being such that he died at
 the hospital about two nours later. Although the child's left arm was al- most amputated at the elbow and both his legs were crushed into a shapeless mass, the youth exhibited pluck seldom seen even in older per sons Up to the time he breathed his last he was conscious at times and had scarcely a word to say ex- cept that his legs were "paining aw- full"
 It was the engine known as 551 which headed the train that took the boys life. It was bound for Bridge port and was in charge of Engineer Joseph Greenwood of this city and Conductor Harry Hawkins or An sonia. It was a short distance after the Washington avenue crossing was passed that the accident occurred. in the vicinity of where other accidents of the same kind have often happen ed in the past As the wheels ground the boys limbs to pieces his cries at- tracted the attention of the crew as did the jolt of the cars. After bring ing their train to a halt the train men hustled back and found that all though the boy had not one chance in a hundred of living. he was conscious and is said to have asked for a drink of water His right leg was simply hanging on by the tendons and the lower part of the limb was like a piece of raw meat. The left leg was in almost the same condition al- though 1t was severed lower than the right. The left arm appeared as though 1t had been hammered into a jelly and was an awful thing to look at.
 The boy was made as comfortable as possible pending the arrival of the Rev ]. NJ. Gleeson and Dr P. J. Dwyer. After the boy was given the last rites of the church by the priest and his suffering partly relieved by the doctor. he was taken to the hos pital in Lurry's ambulance, but the child was unable to recover from the shock and passed away about 10 o'clock. The father of the child had ridden to the hospital in the ambui- ance and would not leave his son un- the boy had breathed his last The lad is said to have been well known to the trainmen and was most en- thuslastic about riding on freights He was bright chap and appeared to be much wiser than other boys of she same age. In addition to his par-I ents the boy leaves one brother. Joseph. and four sisters. Katharine. Loretta. Mary and Margaret

TERMS NOT READY
Newfoundland Fisheries Dis. puie Affair Not Presented
 10 the Hague.

London. Aug. 29.--It had been ex- pected that the terms of the agree ment between Great Britain and the United States to submit the New foundland fisheries dispute to arbitra- tion at The Hague would be made public to-day but a temporary delay has been caused by the unexpected action of the Newfoundland premier, Sir Robert Bond who has made new proposal regarding the conduct of the fisheries regulations differing of the modus vivendi. The American gov ernment being most anxious to con ciliate Premier Bond consented to 2 postponement of the matter for a few days in order to afford the Brit ish government an opportunity to discuss the new proposition with Sir Robert. An ultimate agreement on all points, however, seems to be as- sured.
