WAR IN CENTRAL AMERICA.
Washington Officials Exasperated at
ZeIaya's Exclamation.

~ war-perhaps two wars or more
with as many revolutions added for
good measures what the state de-
partment officials now expect to mark

lea. They are much cast down over
the sudden and unexpected failure Of
the joint efforts of the governments Of
Mexico and the United States to bring
about a condition of permanent peace
between the turbulent republics in
Central America.
Official news of this failure reached
the state department yesterday from
one of its representatives in Nicara-
qua who forwarded the explanation
of the president Of that country of his
participation in the attack on Acajut-
la. The exasperating feature of Pres
ident Zelaya's message, according to
the state department, "a the way in
which he sought to place upon Mexico
and America the responsibility for the
attack upon a friendly state by claim.
Ing that 1t was a necessary step in the
execution of a plan for a union of the
Central American republics.
AS a matter Of fact, as one of the
officials pointed out. the United
States and probably Mexico would
welcome a combination of the little
states into one republic, under some
capable executive, but it has never for
ar instant been contemplated that
that such a union should be brought
about by force.
