He Will Write African Stories
For Charles Scribner'S
Sons.
100000 FOR THE SERIES.
HIGHEST AMOUNT EVER GIVEN
AUTHOR FOR SIMILAR NUM-
Der OF WRITINGS ALL IN
BOOK FORM LATER.

New York, July 1.-THE price
Seribner's Sons will pay President
Roosevelt for his account of his hunt
ing trip through African jungles is the
highest ever given to an author for a
work of similar length.
Not only will the president receive
a lump sum of between $4,000 and
$4,000 for the serial privileges. but he
will also get a high royalty on the
book into which the magazine articles
will be incorporated. II was learned
on good authority that this royalty is
not lower than - per cent on gross
sales. and is probably as high as so
per cent.
Il see no objection TO making pub
lie the fact that We will publish the
Presidents story of his adventures in
Africa" said Charles Scribner.
The details of the arrangement will
have TO come from Oyster Bay. how
ever. The articles will run serially
in Seribner's Magazine and then will
be published in book form. There
will be from eight to twelve INSTALL
ments, each of from 5000 to 5000
words. The price We are paying Is,
believe, the highest ever paid for
any magazine SERIES"
When questioned about the royal
ties he said:
I'VE are giving President Roosevelt
more than the ordinary royalties. of
course. They are not the highest ev-
er paid, however. We expect ire
mendous sales. so that in all probable
ity the amount the president will re-
ceive from royalties will exceed that
from any other single work"

Politics Scares Away Hover
ing Bird of Peace From
The Little Countries.
OTHER NATIONS INTERFERE
UNITED STATES AND MEXICO
HAVE MADE AN EFFORT TO
MAINTAIN QUIET, BUT IN
VAIN.

Washington, July lin spite of
the persistent efforts of the United
States and Mexico TO promote cordial
and friendly relations between the
Central American republics, political
disorders have again broken out there
which threaten TO nullify all the eff
forts of Presidents Roosevelt and Diaz
to maintain peace in Central America.
The work of the Central American
Peace Conference held in Washington
last fall under the auspices of Secre-
tary of State Root and Enrique C..
Creel, Mexican ambassador to the
United States to provide means for a
peaceful settlement of international
failure.
A state of political unrest is pre-
valent over practically all of Central
America and each republic is anxious
ly watching it's neighbors for a pre-
text for starting war. The revolution
against the republic of Honduras.
headed by former President Manuel
Bonilia, has developed all the old in
ternational animosities which existed
before the peace conference last year.
President Davila of Honduras is
making preparations to fight the band
of revolutionists who have already
taken the town of Gracias and who
are attacking Cholutoca. The Hondu-
ran government apparently fears that
the insurrectionists will endeavor to
capture Amapala, it's only port on the
Pacific.
Nicaragua Recruiting Army.
According to a dispatch received al
the state department today, President
Zelaya of Nicaragua is making war
like pre- parations to render assistance
to Honduras. An army is being re
cruited and machine-gun platoons
equipped. The action of President
Zelaya is regarded by officials of the
state department as hasty, in view OF
the fact that his country has not been
threatened. Honduras, it is said
claims that Guatemala and Salvador
are fomenting the present revolution
because of the fact that the point OF
attack was near to both the Guatema.
Ian and Salvadorean borders. Guate
mala, however, is said to claim that
Nicaragua is causing the trouble
Would Welcome Assistance.
A singular feature of the situation
is that Mexico, which, together with
the United States. took the initiative
in bringing about the peace confer.
ence last winter, is now wrestling
with a revolution of her own.
According to the agreement reached
by the Central American Peace con
ference last winter, United States and
Mexico are at liberty TO intervene
when International difficulties arise
between any of the small republics
in Central America.
While Honduras has not asked for
assistance from this government, &C,
cording to DR.. Angel Ugarte, that
country would welcome assistance in
overcoming the revolutionists.

A Famous Widow.

One of the most famous widows of
antiquity was Agrippina, the widow of
Germanicus. During the lifetime OF
her husband she attended him in all his
campaigns and shared his dangers.
Suspecting that her husband had been
poisoned, she had his presumed MUIR
derer assassinated and was herself
soon after treated with such indignity
by Tiberius that she was driven to
despair and starved herself to death.
