The Situation in Salvador.

The State Department has received a
caoiegram from United States Minister
Lee at Guatemala City, stating that tho
situation in Salvador is disquieting; that
both Guatemala and Salvador are sending
troops 10 the frontier.
Coupled with the news received by the
state Department reporting disquiet In
salvador and the massing of troops on the
frontier by both Salvador and Guatemala,
is that received by Senior Mcjia. the minis
ter from Salvador TO Washington, that In
formation has reached his government that
Nicaragua is planning another expedition
against It, The news came in a dispatch
from President Figueroa.
There are no details available regarding
the expedition. Less than two weeks ago
an expedition which IL was reported was
armed and equipped by President Zelaya
or Nicaragua and was carried aboard the
Nicaraguan gunboat Momotombo landed at
Aca1utla and made an unsuccessful effort
to proceed inland.
Ever since he became involved In trouble
with Mexico in connection with the assassi-
nation of ex-President Barillas, President
Cabrera of Guatemala has been apprehen-
sive that his neighbor. President Zelaya Of
Nicaragua. would size the opportunity to
overthrow him by attack from without
ana fomenting revolution from within.
and this, II Is said. explains his co-opera-
ton with the President of Salvador.

Released From Quarantine.

The Baltimore barkentine Josephine,
which arrived up the Potomac Thursday
evening last from the Island of Trinidad
with a cargo of asphalt aboard, yesterday
completed her five days detention at quar-
antine and was last night brought up to
this city and berthed to unload her cargo.
The vessel came from a port where the
bubonic plague is epidemic, and though
there were sick aboard when DIR.
Snowden, the marine hospital surgeon,
boarded her off Alexandria, she did not
have a clean bill of health from the point
of loading, he detained her at quaran-
tine. about half mile below the Alex
andria wharves, until the danger of her
crew developing the disease had passed.
The asphalt aboard the schooner is now
being removed and will be used in street
paving work. When loaded from the lake
OF the material in the Island Of Trinidad
the asphalt Is in a semi-inal state and
when the weather is warm and the vessel
loaded with it is kept upon one tack for a
long time 1t will run to one side, and
1t Is not an uncommon thing for an asphalt
laden vessel to come to this city listed away
over on one side. The Josephine had a
slight list, but not enough to attract at
tention.

The Pump Question.

To the Editor Of The Star:
The attempt of the Commissioners to JUS
tify the destruction of the pumps by a
hearing at which they will show that the
pump water is not pure is too far-fetched
to deceive the public
1t is we'll known that there is no pure
water to be obtained. The hydrant water
Is recognized as impure, and the public
has been advised to boil it before using;
filtration has failed to remove fully the i'm
purties existing, and all cases of typhoid
have been known to have used that water.
The fact Is that pump water has been used
here from the beginning, and no known case
OF illness has been occasioned by its USE
This, with the fact that large portion Of
the people prefer it. should settle the mat
ter. They do not ask that any person
should be compelled to use it, but all per-
sons should be allowed to choose for them
selves. This they have a right to demand
even of their rulers. They will graciously
permit them to drink the deep-well water,
which water is too bad-tasting for use 1t
Is suggested that they have bored too deeply
and sewage from China has come through
to us. l have known wells to be filled up
against the protests of those living oppo-
Site not because any one had been made
sick by its use, although persons Of all
ages had used it some forty or fifty years
charged to its use We want less of pater-
nalism. Give us what we want. We do
not care for opinions of those who do not
know. We can guess as well as those who
want to compel everybody to use their diet.
