ANOTHER CONFERENCE
Expected to Result from Reports Of
Impending Conflict.

Washington. March 31.-Thoughtful
students. Of Central American affairs
who view with dismay the recurrent
reports of a general war between the
republics predict that a probable out
come will be another Central American
conference which shall make the de-
clarations Of the Washington confer
ence absolutely effective by being back
ed emphatically by the United States
and Mexico.
Honduras being in large measure the
key to the Central American situa-
ton, declaration of neutrality affect
ing that country which would be fully
respected by the other republics is
needed, It is decls red. A buffer state
between Nicaragua and Costa RIGA
and Guatemala and Salvador on the
north and west would thus be pro-
vidcG
At the last conference Honduras was
declared neutral and the other repub-
lies bound themselves to regard that
neutrality 50 long as it was not vio-
lated by the others A new conference,
it is declared, should supplement that
declaration by calling upon the United
states ard Mexico specifically to guar
antee neutrality.

TO SATISFY WESTERNERS.
Representatives from Wheat Belt SUB
NIT Addition to Drawback Section.

Washington. March 31.-To remedy the
objections which they make to the extern
sive drawback privileges of the Payne
tariff bill, the Republican representatives
from the wheat-growing states of the
West have submitted to the ways and
means committee an amendment which
is in the nature of an additional provision
to the drawback section of the new bill.
Their principal contention was that the
new provision would result in the manu-
facture Of flour for export at the cities
along the Atlantic seaboard instead of at
the Western mills, as is the custom now.
In order that the Western manufacturers
may retain the export trade it is proposed
that any article manufactured from grain
raised in the United States to obtain the
drawback when exported in lieu of i'm
ported grain must be manufactured in
the same mill or factory as the article
manufactured from the imported grain.
