ACCORDING to the alarmists Of this
country there must be perfectly awful
state Of affairs in Central America.
Current reports are to the effect that
every one of the 6ye republics is in the
tbroes of revolution, a1d at the same
time is furlOusly fighting each and every
one Of its neighbors. The Sslvodorian
navy is bockading Tegncigalpa, the
Costa Rican army is ma3sed on the
Glstemalan frontier, while Nicaragua
proposes to rectify her borders by fOrci-
bly, snnexing Qlezalteuango. The funny
feature of it, however, is that nobody
in Central America seems to know that
anything of the sort is going on.
