money and entirely unsuccessful eff
forts Of the lenders to collect either the
principle OF the interest, is now en-
gagged in revolution calculated to
plunge the peaceful citizens of that Re
public. Gf there are any still further
into debt. This time it is General Juan
Australia who has been declared Prov
incial President. which means that he
has overthrown those who have been
in power and has appropriated the Of
has been remarkably successful and has
already succeeded in collecting a for
midable force for a country Of 50 little
resources. Perhaps the most notable
ala assured him is that of President
Cambrera of Guatemala, neighboring
republic. He has secured a plentiful
supply of guns, rifles and ammunition,
and Ncara guans in United States have
pledged and are sending financial aid
EXiled Nicaraguans are returning from
Costa Rica in large numbers. among
them General Juan Reyes. formerly a
governor Of the coast provinces. The
rebels already hold all the sea ports
and are credited with holding many of
the interior towns.
The action of the President of Guat-
amala in going to the aid of the new
Nicaraguan government gives force to
a rumor that there will be in the near
future coalition of the Central Amer
lean Republics, a United States of
Central America. Such a combination
could be a force for untold good in that
district. Properly combined and gov
erncd the Central American states
would be able to pay off all their in
debtedness. enjoy prosperity, and take
the place which rightfully belongs to
them on account of their geographical
position among the nations The Pan
