made by our bankers I'm London yester-

TOO PROUD TO ASK
The Awkwad Time the Banana Repub-
lies Have in Getting Together.

Washington, Aug. S.-Most of the
representatives of the central Ameri-
can Republics who remain in Washing
ton called upon Acting Secretary OF
State Bacon today. to talk individual
ly with him about the project for a
general convention of delegates from
their countries in Washington to en-
ceaver to reach an agreement to re-
suit in permanent peace in that quar-
ter of the world. With all parties will
ing to enter upon such a conference
the difficulty appears to be the un-
willingness of any to take the initiative
on account of personal pride.
Each OF the little republics thinks
that it has a grievance against its
neighbor and in the absence OF an ap-
ology. as a condition precedent to an
international gathering. would have
the other party take the first advan-
ces. The state department supported
principally by the Mexican government
is desirous of furthering this confer
ence but it is stopped from itself for
mally proposing a meeting by a fear
that its motives might be misunder-
stood and might be suspected of sell
fish designs and unwarranted inter-
vention.

ADVERSE CLAIMS MADt

II Is Certain Though that the Colorado

Great Inconvenience.

Denver, Aug. S.-Vice President A.
d. Parker of the Colorado and South
ern railway says the company put to
work twenty-five more men today and
that in a few days he will have the
road in nominal condition. Grand Mas
ter p. II. Morrissey of the Railway
Trainmen says that the situation is
unchanged. He claims that the strik-
ers are making heavy inroads in the
ranks of the strike breakers and that
most OF the imported men leave the
service of the company as soon as they
learn of the strike. This the company
denies.
Today's developments showed a Sc
rious shortage of domestic coal in
Denver. The coal mines in the La
Fayette district are about to close
down and twenty-five metal mines in
Gilpin stopped work today. To pre-
vent the closing Of more coal mines in
the Trinidad district the company has
sent there a number of strike breakers.
