which bare mention occasionally is made
in the papers of the United States.
Last winter Salvador even proposed to
hold an anti-American conference of the
different Central American countries in
order to protest against the Nicaraguan
treaty. 1t was intimated very plainly
that Nicaragua was to be outlawed by
the other countries. The conference
never was held. Secretary Bryan's
modesty probably would prevent him
from explaining why. He has always
deprecated the United States bulldozing
tn Latin American countries. but in this
instance it is not unlikely that he con-
strued a stern message the State De-
partment sent to Salvador to mind her

suggestion.

lieutenants in Costa Rica. They were
keeping close at hand because the de-
lusion was entertained that the Ameri-
can marines might be withdrawn from
Managua. and the way opened for

stated frankly that the American ma

find the presence of these marines a
proper subject of criticism. People who

presence of this small body of Ameri
can marines has kept Nicaragua from
internal upheaval and slaughter.
The ruling classes are divided nom
inally into two parties known as lib

although they keep pretty well under

dition in Nicaragua that member of
the opposition party should not go out
nights lest the police mistake him for
a burglar.
At different periods efforts have been
made to sweeten the party politics of
the country by social alliances. During
Zelaya'S regime a member of his cabi-
net married the daughter of one of the
most influential members of the oppo-
sition- Much was expected from this
marriage. Soon after. however, there
was a new shift. Zelaya changed his
cabinet and the social amenities did
not bridge over the partisan gulf that
divided the leading families.
The present opposition party is, Of
course, against the Bryan treaty, for
its ratification will strengthen the ex-
isting administration. A year ago a

what President Taft and Secretary
Knox had done. A copy of this protest
was left at the American legation. 1t
was also published in various newspa-
pers of Central America.
The underlying idea seemed to be
that the new administration in Wash
irgton would repudiate the acts of it's
predecessor. The feeling of the opposi-
tion party in Nicaragua when Mr.
Bryan came forward with the outline
of a treaty which went much farther
than the Taft-knox policy can be i'm
