New Orleans, July 5.-Largely
through Zelaya's influence, it is be-
lieved, strong "anti-Yankee" SEN
timent is spreading through Cen
trail America.
It has now reached an acute
stage, which is almost certain
sooner or later to produce attacks
on Americans. The bitterness has
spread through Nicaragua, Costa
Rica, Honduras, and Salvador.
Guatemala, under President Ca
brera, alone of the Central Ameri-
can republics IS friendly to the
United. The Others are seeking to
secure the good will or aid of the
larger Latin-American republics in
an anti-American alliance.
BITTERNESS INTENSE.
The bitterness is. of course. most in
tense in that portion Of Nicaragua under
the control OF Madriz, where the presi-
dent is finding It difficult TO prevent an
attack on Americans. which he feaIs viii

| fierce crusade against the United States
for landing troops at Bluehelds. and the
people are warned that il is a scheme 20
annex and dominate Central Amsrica, as
has been done IN Panama.

OF the United States and calls upon Cen
