UATEMALA CITY, January 25.-
In this, my last letter from Cen
traI America, shall deal with
business conditions and the pOssibili-
ties Of the countries if they can be
placed upon a sound financial basis.
The present situation is abnormal
Central America is the richest part OF
the North American continent ana It's
people are among the poorest OF our
whole hemisphere. It's mountains have
gold, silver and copper, and its hill
sides grow the best coffee on earth
It lies in the front dOOryard of the
United States, the worlds greatest
market and It can produce tropical
fruits which would bring in gold by
the millions Nevertheless the bulk OF
ITS people are paupers, and the foreign
bondholder hangs around its meek more
heavily than did the old man of the
sea around that Of Sinbad the sailor.
Empire of Central America.
Central America should be the in
dustrial empire Of the North American
continent, and its population as rich
as any on the face of the globe. Look
and runs TO the Isthmus Of Panama
It skirts the Pacific ocean from
distance as great as from New York
to Detroit, and its extreme width is
as far as from Washington city to
Boston It has so much land that, in
the words OF John Barrett our great
specialist on ali things concerning
Latin America. If it could be lifted
up and laid down on our Atlantic
states It would cover all New England
and leave enough over to make
blanket sufficient TO tuck IN New
York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey
As to the individual republics, Hon
duras is almost as big as Pennsyl-
vania, Guatemala. almost the size OF
Mississippi, Nicaragua is equal TO New
York ana Costa Rica to Vermont and
- ~ II
vador is about the size OF New
Jersey.
This territory has a population which
is fast crOWding four millions. Here
IN Guatemala we have eighteen hun
dred thousand salvador has more
than a million, Honduras over five
hundred thousand and Costa Rica and
Nicaragua have, respectively, four
hundred and five hundred thousand
The only country that is at all th1ckly
peopled is Salvador. Our New England
and middle Atlantic states are about
equal in size to Central America They
had at the last census a population
OF 3IOO0,O0O, and there Is no doubt
but that Central America could support
ten millions or so more than it has.
Loaded With Debt.
And now let me give you some idea
Of the mighty debt load which hangs
from Central Americas neck. Inc !
money was borrowed for railroads and
other developments, but the most Of
it has gone into the pockets Of the
officials, and today there is hardly a
government here which is not honey
cOmbed with corruption and bribery.
The debts are enormous. Here in
Guatemala the gold loans have run |
high into the millions They amounted |
to more than 1000, 600 in 1908. The
local currency is now worth six cents /
on the dollar, and one American dol |
lar is equal to IS Of the dollars of !
Guatemala
In Honduras the situation is worse. |
That country has a population Of less J
than 500 600, and its foreign debt is /

As to Salvador it owes nearly II mil

Since 1907 every time there has been

Mark N. Horrowitz, the moving
picture man, who has with him films
which are "Coulter's Exclusive Pro-

be here until the Senator leaves, and
will give some shows during that

which will be made. The films
which he exhibits are said to be re-
markable, and include such special
productions as Dante's Inferno,
Sarah Bernhardt's La Tosca, and
Zigomar, together with many others
all of them big productions.
Horrowitz has come down the
