the cut and the hillside on which the

The whole mass is slowly slipping
toward the cut. During the past
twenty-four hours the street for one
hundred yards, with its houses,
dropped 800 feet below its original
level, bursting gas and water mains
and leaving half the village without
light or fire protection.

REPUBLICS IN Line
PEACE
MOVE PROGRESSING.
Representatives of All Central American
Governments, EXCEPT Guatemala, Call
at State Department.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The minis
ters representing all of the Central
American republics except Guatemala
called at the State Department today
and expressed the appreciation of their
governments for the steps taken by
President Roosevelt inc President Diaz
in negotiating for permanent peace in
Central America. All of them predicted
that the movement would be entirely
successful.
No replies have so far been received
at the State Department to the note
photographed TO the presidents of the 20
publics by Pres eAt Roosevelt. WheT
they come the replies will be sent tc
the President personally and by him
transmitted to the State Department.
This fact may delay the receipt of the
replies for several days. President
Roosevelt's note, therefore, will not be
made public here until 1t is possible to
publish also the attitude of the Central
American republics.
Minister Corea, of Nicaragua, today
said that he believed that all OF the
republics would consent to the holding
of a conference, and that that confer
ence would be held at Washington for
the reason that the strained relations
between Guatemala and Mexico make
It inadvisable to meet in Mexico City
and that Honduras has no diplomatic
representative there.

uled to appear at 10 o'clock The news
spread that the pay would be Forthcoming

for work with the new contractors and
were accepted.
The officers feared that with the failure

more trouble might result. The men, how

a peaceful course would make everything
come out all right, and they remained
quiet.
Manager Schmidt has plenty of the as

ready to settle with the men in full as
soon as he can adjust the tangle left by
McCree. but all the men could not be con-
WINGED that such was the case.
The trouble began Saturday, when Nc
Cree failed to pay off. The men were

ROOSEVELT LAUDED
GERMAN PROFESSOR PAYS
TRIBUTE TO PRESIDENT.
Puts Him in Glass of Washington, Jack
son land Lincoln, but Exercising Greater
:, influence Than Any of Them.

BERLIN. Aug. 29.-"Even his errors
do honor in every case to his person
atty" writes Professor Schiemann in
an article on President Roosevelt which
is to appear on Saturday in the Inter
rationale Wochenschrift. The profess
sor places the President in the same
class as Washington, Jackson and
Lincoln, while thinking that President
Roosevelt probably Influenced the
American people more than any of the
Presidents mentioned, through his pc
culiarities of character, imagination,
VIII power and practical politics."
Religiously. the professor finds in
President Roosevelt a spirit of Calvin
ism without intolerance, and says his
services to the world in promoting
peace fully entitled him to the Nobel
prize; but the professor is equally OPP
posed to 'the enervating doctrine of
eternal peace"
Among American statesmen" Presi-
lent Roosevelt Professor Schiemann
adds, ranks foremost In his apprecia-
ton of German character and in his
confidence in 1t. The professor thinks
1t inconceivable that Mr.. Roosevelt's
retirement from the Presidency will
close his political career. as the Amer
lean people will not let his power lie
fallow."
