NICARAGUA AND HONDURAS.
The Situation Calls for the Protection
 of LAanerican Interests.

The Situation Calls for the Protection
 of American Interests.
 The hostiities between Nicaragua and Hondulars bid fair to assume a cnarac- ter which this country can hardly be expected to view with equanimity. If only the Nicaraguans and the HonGu- rans and their property were involved, the prospects of war in which pill lage was the main incentive and the chief reward of heroic action, might not be regarded as insufferable But the fact is, that American property, American trade and, possibly, the se- curity of American citizens are to a large extent involved in the conduct of the war. If the Nicaraguan procla n.ation melting them to ravlge and re- vene, it would seem to follow as a nat ural consequence that great damage will be done to American interests. With such authority to reinforce their strong inclination to loot the Nicara- guam soldiers could hardly be expected to draw too many fine distinctions be- tween natives and foreigners. In the moment of victory the loot will be the main thing, and they will leave the Nicaraguan Government to confront whatever claims may be presented for injury to property of citizens of this republic Under the circumstances, the Washington Government is confronted with a plain duty. It should see to 1t at once that the coast towns of Hon duras, liable at any moment to an at tack by Nicaragua, the only Central American republic with the distinction of possessing a fleet, are afforded all the protection necessary not only to save American property, but to con- serve the interests of American trade. Business between New Orleans and other Southern ports and Central Amer iGa is too important to be permitted to suffer either by actual aggression or too prolonged a period of uncertainty. Perhaps the time has not yet come for l this country to say to these little re- pulbltcs that their alleged wars, which are nothing more than continual dis turbances which a company of Texas Rangers could probably put down, must cease in the interest of all concerned. However, the time has unquestionably come when it should tell them their little difficulties must be confined with l in limits which do not work too great an injury to America ntrade interests.

This play is one of the famous Broad hurst comedies, being by the author of Why Smith Left Home" one of the most popular comedies offered at the Bjou last season.
 The Story of the play is typical of Broadhurst A young man named Rich ard Heatherly is In love wi.h Marjorie Goodly, the daughter of Ebel ezer Goodly, a professor in ana:pmY.

 Jones, who travels for a hymn-boolS house, and sells playing cards as q side line, was also at the fight and makes his way to the house, but is pursued by the police. The bishop of Ballarat pays an unexpected visit to his brother, the professor, and sends someof his clothing in advance of him. Jones, to avoid the police, puts on the bishops frock, and the endeayor of the male members of the house to pass off Jones as the bishop creates no end of amusement. The arrival of the bishop further complicates matters. The hish-

 From the boom the logs are rafted to the embarcadero and "manufac- tured" for shipping. The manufactur- ing process consists in saving off the legends which have been bruised and spllntered by rocks in the transit down the river and in refining and rehewing the logs by skillful worllmen, who give them a smooth and an even surface. |

SURPRISING THE WAR MINISTER.
 One of the most popular military members of the French cabinet is M. Cheron He has the welfare of the French Tommy Atkins thoroughly at heart and is continually paying sur prise visits to barracks to find out for himself how Tommy is being treated and fed A few days ago M, Cheron turned up at a certain barracks at the hour of the evening meal, passed the sentry without turning out the guard, and made straight for the kitchens. M. Cheron IS a corporal in the reserve, and knows his way in barracks. On his way he met soldier varying vessel full of steaming hot liquid
 "Ah, my friend, the soup?" said M. CherOn. The soldier recognized the under secretary of state for war by his ample beard. He stopped flustered and stammered something which M. Cheron did not catch, but he tasted the liquid not sipping daintily, but swal- lowing boldly. For a moment his face wore a look of anguish, such as that shown by bad sailor on a stormy channel passage; but, with an heroic effort of will, he pulled himself togeth- CT, dismissed the soldier, and made his way to the colonePs room There M, Cheron exploded in indignant protest, which the colonel did not understand.
