we're almost exhausted, Mr.. Brown saw his
opportunity and by hard work succeeded
in framing up the treaty OF Amapala, in
which Salvador and Nicaragua signed
articles Of reace and agreed to submit all
future questions to the joint arbitration
OF Mexico and the United States. The
cause Of DR.. Alfaro. a revolutionary leader
in Salvador, had already been taken up
by Zelaya, who is understood to have
promised him money and men when DIR,
Alfa-o was prepared to rise. But siter
the treaty had been signed II was believed
that peace, for a time at least. had Deen
secured in Central America and much relief
was felt in Guatemala.
During this period I made many trip 8
into the interior n found that the general
desire Of all with whom l came in contact
was that political questions should be
dropped and that they should bs allowed
to devote their energies to the develop
ment Of their estates, but in every Central
American capital there is the revolutionista
element, looking for a chance to hold Office
in order 10 procure the means Of easy and
abundant livelihood.
Then things happened. Rum ors blew
thick and fast. There was a cabal of 200
Guatemalans who had sworn to kill the
President and overturn the Government.
The President was aware that something
was up. but did not feel that he could
take any definite steps until some overt
act was committed.
The attempt or the Presidents life OF
April 20 then came. A mine was exploded
under his horses and Me President had a
narrow escape. Stringent measures
were taken to unravel this plot and to APP
prehend the conspirators, with the result
that something like a hundred arrests
we're made within the few days following
the crime. OF these, all we're released
except sixteen. who were placed ON tsisl
for being parties to this attempt at sssas-
sination.
quite a number Of those arrested bore
names of prominent families Of Guatemala.
