Comparative harmony reigns in the
revolutionary camp.
In fact, the revolutionary drama
in Central America shows signs Of
earlier violence than does that of
Mexico. Although the lids have
been placed upon revolutions in
Honduras, Guatemala and Salvador,
advices reaching Washington indi-
cate that explosions are still occur
ring beneath the covers.
Death Threatens Echeyerria.
Senior Manuel Echeverria Y Vi
daurri Is said to be a political
refugee in the British Legation at
Guatemala City. To escape death
at the hands of the Guatemalean
revolutionists. as the story goes, he
sought British protection.
Senior Echeverria is well known
here, where he served as counselor
to the Herrarte mission. He re-
turned to Guatemala only a short
time ago and worked against the
overthrow of the Cabrera govern
ment.
He is accused of advising a
bombardment of Guatemala City
after the revolutionists had occu-
pied it. 1t is allegedly on this
charge that he was condemned to
death.
Senior Echeverria is "unofficialIy''
reported to be engaged to a girl
prominent in Washington society.
The news of his present plight.
therefore. is proving of special in
terest to the Capitals social circles.
Senior Francisco Latour is now in
charge of the legation of Guate-
mala here. Senior Joaquin Mendez,
minister to the United States under
the old government. rs persona non
grata to the revolutionary powers.

) SenorMendez no longer goes Of
ficially to the State Department.
However,he has retained the old le-
cation residence on Connecticut
avenue.
Senior Latour conducts affairs for
the new government at zoos Column
bia road. This is the address of the
old Herrarte mission to the United
States from Guatemala.
Mexican and Central American
revolutions have confusing reactions
upon the official and unofficial or
provisional diplomatic corps here.
