CENTRAL AMERICAN REPUBLICS
TO HOLD PEACE CONGRESS.
THE THIRD OF SERIES
Nicaragua and Salvador Representa-
tives Sign Treaty Containing Clause
for General Conference in Near Fu-
ture.

Washington, April 25.-Details OF
the treaty of peace and amity be-
tween Nicaragua and Salvador, which
was signed at Amapala Tuesday last,
were received at the state department
today. through a cablegram from Phil
in Brown, charge of the American le-
cation at Guatemala. The treaty is
similar to that entered into some
time ago and known as the Marble
head nact. 1t includes a provision
for general Central American peace
congress, to be held in Nicaragua IL
the near future, and special CONNER
cial treaty between Nicaragua and
salvador.
The new conference to be held IN
Nicaragua under the terms Of this last
agreement will be the third OF series
Of such gatherings of the republics ot
Central America, each and all with
the same purpose, namely to conserve
the peace Of that section OF the
world.
The first conference was held at
Corinto in 1901 and resulted in the
adoption of scheme for the settle
ment of issues between the little re-
publics, which, if it had been adj
hered to, would have put an end Tor
ever to the frequent wars that have
ravaged that section. But within a
year after the conclusion Of the Corin-
to agreement friction again developed
and actual war between two of the
republics was only again prevented
by the active intervention Of Secre-
tary Root. This took the form of pro
posals to both sides, which could not
be resisted, for another conference
which was held on board the United
States ship Marblehead about year
ago. The outcome was another agree
ment to which four of the republics
were parties to preserve the peace on
well defined principles looking to the
arbitration of any threatening issues
Nicaragua did not adhere to that ar
rangement, taking the ground it was
unnecessary because she had already
subscribed to the Corinto convention
So in the course of another year trou
BILE again developed, this time be
tween Nicaragua and Honduras ovel
d boundary question, and incidentally
Salvador was dragged into the wal
that followed.
1t is the expectation Of officials here
that as a result of the third confer
ence about to be held there will be M
further disturbances in Central Amer
lea, at least not for many years tt
come

EITEL GETS TUMBLE.
kaiser's Second Son Severely Injured
by Fall From Horse.

Berlin, April 25.-Prince Eitel Fred
erick, Emperor Williams second son,
fell from his horse during a cavalry
drill yesterday afternoon on the Doe
britz grounds, near Potsdam. Alarm
ing reports were spread here this
morning regarding his condition. 1t
was reported that the prince was suf-
fering from concussion of the brain
and that he had also been kicked in
the face by his horse. Later, however,
a telephone message from Potsdam
said that the first reports were exag-
gerated and that there was no reason
for fear of serious results.
Emperor Williams physicians said
today that Prince Eitel did not suf
fer concussion of the brain, and de
clared that he would probably be able
to perform his duties soon.

BOARD OF INSPECTION.
Body Created to Administer National
Pure-Food Law.

Washington, April 25.-secretary
Wilson today created by executive or
der the board of food and drug in,
spection, whose duty 1t shall be TO
administer the national pure food laws.
The board consists of DR.. II. W. Wiley,
chief Of the bureau of chemistry,
chairman; Frederick L. Dunlap, who
is commissioned as associate chemist,
and George r. McCabe, solicitor Of the
department of agriculture.
Secretary Wilson has found it prac-
tically impossible to take the required
time to go into all the details inn
posed in the administration Of the
pure-food law. The amount Of the ad-
illustrative work in this connection,
he says, has been rapidly increasing,
and to keep up with it he has found
would take all his time.
President Roosevelt heartily assent
ed to the plan Of placing the admin
stration Of the laws in the hands Of
a board. Hereafter the board will
conduct all hearings connected with
the pure-food law.
