dor, a Presldent, but Daviiia, having
had a taste Of powor, rcfused to make
way, and ls still President, though
it ia generally conceded tnat his lnter?
ests are still lined up wlth Zelaya.
Whrn tho revolution in Honduras was
about to develop into a great test be?
tween Zelaya and Cabrera, Involv
tng all four republics ln n declstve
war, the Unlted States and Mexlco ln
tervoned and croated a peace tribunal.
Andrew- Carnegle gave 1100,000 for a
peace bulldlng, which has Juot been
completed at Cartago.
Last July another war broke out ln
Honduras. Then Honduras accus-i-l
Guatemala and Salvador of belng mi
pllcated in It. Honduras made chargos
to the peace trlbuijal,- und last Deccm
ber the tribunal rendered a decision
not sustalnlng the charges. Zelaya nnd
Davilla were Incensed. and especially
as Davilla clalmed to have absolute
evldence that tbc revolution was
started from Salvador. Davilla In
his message to Congress denouuced
Cabrera. The Guatemalan mlntster
to Honduras demanded Instant apology
and oxpulsion from the congresslonal
records of the offensive ianguage, and
Davilla ylelded.
Thls was followed by withdrawal ol i
Guatemala's and Salvador's mlnlsters,
from Honduras.
Three weeks ago the situatlon be- |
came so acute that the Washington
governmeift sent a hot message to
every one of the republics warnlng
them that the flndlng of the Cartago
court must be respeeted. and that tho
fitst rne to commit an avert act would
feel the consetiuences of arraetl Inter?
ventlon by the Cnited States and
Mexlco.
The Unlted States and Mexlco have
much cause to complam of treatment
of their citizens. especially in NIca?
ragua and Honduras. The Unlted
States has been unfortunate in
prospectlng claims in NIcaragua. The
most important of these Is the Kinery
claim, regardlng a mahogany concc3
sion to a Boston synuicate.
