CHAOS IN FRANCE
RESULT OF STRIKE
Business in Paris at a Standstill as
Result Of Strike Of Telegraphers
and Postal Clerks.
Famine May Result " Settlement 10
Not Effected, as Banks Refuse
Payment on Checks, and Sup
ply Of Foodstuffs May be
Curtsiled.

Paris.-There is not the slightest
indication of break In the deadlock
between the government and its strik-
ing telegraphers and postal employees,
nor is there any prospect of an i'm
provement in the situation. The
strike, however, will be considered in
the chamber Of deputies, and solu-
ton may then be furnished.
The cabinet has passed a decree
ers from the state service, and re-
affirmed its determination not to
yield.
With the failure OF the carriers to
deliver letters in Paris on Thursday
he chaos was complete. The entire
public service is paralyzed, and bust
ness, both public and private, is In
confusion. The situation in the cap
ital and the provinces grows worse
every hour. The undelivered letters
number into the millions, and not less
than 100000 kilograms were stacked
up Thursday forenoon awaiting distri-
button. Foreign incoming mails re-
mann uhoOileu anu Ouly Sindli pIo
portion of the outgoing mails have
been sent away.
A few days more of these condi
lions and Paris will be reduced almost
to state of siege as far as food is
concerned The funds necessary for
the smooth running of the provincial
trade are hung up in the postoffice
and the supply of eggs, milk. butter
meat and country produce Il reatens
speedily to cease. Already merchants
have been obliged to send agents to
the provinces to obtain supplies. The
banks are Withholding payment on
checks In the absence of advices from
their correspondents and prices at the
stores are soaring.
large body of strikers gathered
at the Central telegraph station
Thursday and threatened breach of
peace, but when they found COM
pany Of infantry in rooms adjoining
the main offices, they left without
creating any disturbance. The real
element of danger lies in the threat
of the General Confederation of La
Dor, which is purely revolutionary
organization, and the railroad unions
to declare sympathetic strikes.

Bald Knob, Ark.-While seven OF

than an hour on Friday In an unsuc.
cessful effort to dynamite their way

the parting fusilade of the band as
they rode away.
The first explosion aroused the cit

and were greeted by the bullets of the
outposts. They quickly ran to shell

shots at any one who came within

Before beginning operations the rob.

place, who Joined several other posses

WANTS TO SEE. AN END
OF PERENNIAL DISTURBANCE
Secretary Knox Much Concerned In
Work Of Restoring Condition Of
Calm In Central America.

Washington. Much interest Is at.
tached to the note which Secretary
Knox on Wednesday dispatched to Sc.
nor Espinosa, the Nicaraguan minis
ter. The note is supposed to contain
statement of the governments at.
titude on the Emery claim which the
United States has been trying to
have arbitrated for years.
Secretary Knox has been discussing
the Central American situation with
public men and with his congressional
callers during the short period he
has been in the state department, and
II is known that he wants to see an
end of the perennial disturbance.
The situation has been likened to
hornets nest, the causes for the
existence OF which should be forever
eradicated.
Whether the note to Mr.. Espinosa
contains any observations defining
the governments position cannot be
learned from any responsible source,
although this would not be surprising
in the present temper of the admins
tration.
That the permanent establishment
of peaceful conditions in Central
America may be brought about by
the United States and Mexico is the
opinion held and the wish expressed
by the large South American coun-
tries. according to statement OF a
prominent government official and a
close student of Latin American of.
fairs. He declared that there had
been a recent change of attitude in
these countries toward the United
States. an attitude which would not
have been possible several years ago.
He pointed out that the administra-
ton papers in Brazil. Argentine and
other countries are favoring action
by this government vigorous enough
to force Central American republics
to realize that the welfare of all the
American republics demands that
they remain in peace.

Central American Leaders SEEK to Re

City of MeXicC.-It is now believed
a certainty that conference of the
FIVE presidents of Central America
republics will be held shortly. Worc
has reached here that President Cab
rera of Guatemala, Davila of Hondu

agreed to the proposed meeting. II Is.
thought that President Flguero of Sal
vador and the president Of Costa r cs,
will also consent to the invitation
which was sent out by Senior Eche
verria, president of the Central Amer
lean branch of>the bureau of Ameri
can republics, and the purpose of the
gathering will be devising ways am
means to live up to the letter anc.
spirit of the Washington peace pact
and thus remove all cause for inter
vention in Central American affairs or
the part of either the United States
or Mexico.
The news of the acceptance OF rs
trada Cabrera III Guatemala and his
enemy, Jose Santos Zelaya of Nicara
qua, comes as an agreeable surprise
TO the well wishers of Central Amer
lea. 1t is considered likely that re
quest will be sent to the American
state department as soon as Costa
RIGA and Salvador are heard from
asking that the conference be permit
ted to meet on board one OF the
cruisers of the Pacific squadron.
The harbor of Amapala has been
