Washington, p. G. April 13 The

Commander Doyle of the United
States Gunboat Chicago, which is in
Pacific waters off Central America,
an important dispatch relative to
the plans for q conference between
Presidents Zelaya of Nicaragua and
Figuera OF Salvador looking to a set
Element Of the Nicaragua Honduras
Salvador war.
As soon as the dispatch had been
deciphered it was sent to the state
department, and there followed a
long conference between Assistant
Secretary Bacon and Minister Corea
of Nicaragua. Information had been
received previously from Philip
Brown, Secretary Of United States
Legation at Guatemala, who has been
negotiating between Nicaragua and
Salvador. and who finally secured
the consent of President Figuera to
meet President zelaya. This dis
patch left rather a hazy impre ssion
as to the representation Honduras Is
to have at the conference. VI

TROUBLES I0bE Adjusted
Conference to be Held on Gunboat viii Settle All Com
pleai0ns Caused By the Embodiment and
Conflicting Powers are satifed

Commander Doyle made it clear
that General Sierra of the Honduras
provisional government, which was
set up by the Honduras revolution
lists after the defeat and fight Of
President Bonilla as result of his
several engagements with the Nicar-
aguan forces, is to be commandant of
Amapala.
The conference between President
Zelaya and President Figuera will
take place at Amapala on board a
United States gunboat to be anchor
ed at Amapala, an important Hon
duran port on Tigre Island in Fon-
SEGA bay. The fact that Honduran
general, who was not only revolu-
ZIONIST but was one of the candidates
of the reVolutionists for the presi-
dency against Bonilla, is to be in
command at Amapala during the con-
ference and it is regarded here as at
least partial recognition of the pro-
visional government set up after the
@rout OF the Honduran forces. If
this proves to be true settlement
of the dispute it is believed will be
accomplished at the coming confer
ence.

There was a discussion at the Dem

that William J. Bryan was not pres

was said by several persons that the

committee to attend to the invita-
tons. There are two known parties
in the club, one fayoring Bryan and
the second opposing him.
Col. Harvey, in the course of an
address at the Democratic Club said:

Col. Harvey then announced these
democrats who eat the crumbs Of

so to the peerless leader who hob
