OF FARREACHING EFFECT Convention Includes a Provision for a General Central American Peace Congress to Be Held In Nicaragua In the Near Future. Washington, April 26.—Details of the treaty of peace and amity between Nicaragua and Salvador, which was signed at Amapala on Tuesday last, haove been received at the state de- partment through a cablegram from Phillp Brown, charge of the American legation at Guatemala. The treaty is similar to that entered into a year ago and known as the Marblehead pact and it includes a provision for a general Central Amer- ican peace congress to be held in Niec- aragua in the near future and a spe- clal commercial treaty between Nic- aragua and Salvador. BONILLA IS BELLIGERENT. Deposed President Will Return to Honduras to Fight. Coatzacoalcos, Mex., April 26.—For- mer President Manuel Bonilla of Hon- duras arrived here direct from his own country via Calina Cruz. He states that he will await here the ar- rival of a steamer from the south which will bring a friend whom he re- fuses to name and that with this friend he will proceed to Belize and from there back to his own country to take up arms. He takes a most pessi- mistic view of the conditions and out- look in Central America and places the blame on inadequate governments. He declared that the presidents of the governments need someone stronger than they are to take care of them and thrash them into a sense of what is fitting and right. He claims his own deposition from the presidency was due to bad faith on the part of Sal- vador and is optmistic in only one thing, in that he believes his own country can whip Nicaragua. By what means he refuses to state. ANOTHER REVOLUTION. 8tarted in Honduras In Favor Manuel Bonilla. Mobile, Ala., April 26.—According to news recelved here by steamer an- other revolution is startng in Hondu- ras in favor of Manuel Bonllla and it has gained some headway in the vi- cinity of El Pimlento and Chaloma. The railroad bridge at Chaloma has been tampered with and everyone along the line of the road is sald to be ready to rise at a moment’s no- tice. There is enough dynamite and bombs at the fort of La Guana (Puer- to Cortez) to blow up the whole place, and the invaders from the Interior have only three small trails by which they could enter the town. Cortez can therefore be defended against a much superior force. Guatemala, it Is reported, has a large force on the border about forty miles from Puerto Cortez, but they have made no move yet. of REMANDED TO PRISON. Alleged Bond Thieves Unable to Give Bail. New York, April 25.—Locked in their respective cells, one in the po- lice station and the other in the Tombs, Oliver M. Dennett and W. O. Douglas are awaiting trail in connec- tion with the theft of something over $200,000 in bonds from the Trust Com- pany of America. Both were arraigned and both pleaded not guilty and they were remanded to prison on their fail- ure to furnish $10,000 bail each. After Douglas had been ordered taken back to prison his counsel asked that he be given a cell in another tier from that occupied by Dennett. The warden explained that the men had been separated as widely as the con- fines of the station would allow, but Douglas’ counsel was not satisfled with this and obtained an order from the court that Douglas be confined in the Tombs. Meanwhile the officers of the com- pany have tacitly admitted that fur- ther arrests are to be made, and from the insistent silence of the two pris- oners and the nature of the acts charged it is claimed that some person or persons of prominence are belleved to be concerned in the affair and that the two men now held might have been the dupes of this unknown party. RESISTS TO THE END. Execution in Alabama Under Tragic Circumstances. Guntersville, Ala., April 26.—Bob ‘Watts, a young white man, was hanged In the jailyard here under tragic cir- cumstances. He had hecome possessed of a knife and resisted to the end. Ammonia was thrown into his cell and he was thus overcome and dragged to the scaffold by force, moaning pit- eously. Watts was hanged for the murder of Perd Winkles, an old Con- federate soldier, in the fall of 1804. Adds to Terror of Inhabitants. Lima, Peru, April 26.—The voleano of Villarlea is in eruption.

Chicago, April 26.—Decisive action ‘was taken here by the American Rail- way association to remedy the car shortage that for several months has been causing so much worry among shippers throughout the country, so far as the trouble has been due to the lack of proper and equitable Inter- change arrangements. The fallure of some roads to furnish sufficient equip- ment for their own traffic and the fallure to provide and enforce proper rules for the return were declared responsible for the shortage. To remedy the evil the as- soclation adopted a rule to be con- firmed by letter ballot of all the roads providing that any railroad which shall hereafter not promptly return to its owner after unloading all cars con- signed to it shall be penallzed $5 for each car so misused, to be pald to the owner of the car. This penalty is in addition to the per diem charge of 50 cents which after July 1 each road must pay for each car not its own which may be on its line. In order to make the new rule more effective, the principle of publicity is to be invoked through the car clearing house recently established in Chicago. Up to now this organization has con- fined its work to gathering confidential statistics. By the adoption of the new rule the chairman is now autho- rized to send to each of the members a statement comprising the informa- tion already collected as to the car location, percentage of equpiment on line, of total owned and unfilled car orders. This the association believes will enable each railroad to know ex- actly what lines are delinquent in the matter of furnishing adequate cars or failing to return cars to their home lines. LABOR RENOUNCES JAXON. Not Its Representative in Moyer-Hay- wood Agitation. - Chicago, April 26.—President Roose- velt’s phrase, “undesirable citizens,” with which he branded Moyer and Haywood in his letter to Honore J. Jaxon, has been voluntarily assumed by ninety-five delegates who attended a meeting of the Moyer-Haywood de- fense conference. The “stigma” was declared to be a “badge of honor.” Incidentally plans were laid for a demonstration on the lake front on May 19. Chairman Barney Berlyn an- nounced that only “undesirable citi- zens” would be invited to participate. The Chicago Federation of Labor is unwilling to shoulder the responsibil- ity incurred by the Roosevelt reply to Jaxon. At a meeting of the executive board it was determined to sidestep the “boomerang” which descended on Jaxon. “We haven’t a word to say,” de- clared Secretary Nockels. “Jaxon does not represent organized labor and therefore he will have to face his own troubles alone. Labor cannot be held to account in any way for Jaxon’s pro- test to the president nor for what fol- lowed.” The policy of the federatlon, it is said, will be to await an answer from the president to the resolutions adopt- ed by the central labor body last Sun- day and which were forwarded to ‘Washington the following day. It is thought the president had not yet re- ceived the resolutions when he wrote the letter to Jaxon. ANGLO-SPANISH AGREEMENT Result of Recent Meeting of Edward and Alfonso. Madrid, April 26.—The meeting of King Alfonso and King Edward at Cartagena, according to the Correspon- dencia de la Espana which says it ha: diplomatic authority for the story, re- sulted in the perfection of a farreach- ing understanding for the purposes of war and peace. Everything concerning Morocco was ratified, everything in reference to the general Buropean situation was dis- cussed and the basis was formulated of an agreement which is now in the hands of the diplomatists. The outcome, according to the Cor- respondencia, is the result of the com- petition between Germany and Great Britain for an understanding with Spain, in which Great Britain has gcored all along. The Correspondencia represents Great Britain as agreeing in effect that it Spain would allow Spanish naval ports to be used by British fleets the latter would help Spain in the conver- sfon of her existing debt. British squadrons would guarantee the secur- ity of the Spanish ccasts, the Spanish land forces would, if necessary, be allies of tRe British and the British forces would be at the disposal of Spain should the latter need them. Spain’s obligation, under the agree- ment, would be to put her arsenals in order and to fortify her ports. of foreign cars Continue Criticism of Roosevelt. New York, April 26.—Labor leaders are discussing a plan to hold a parade here on Saturday, May 4, as a protest against the action of President Roose- velt in reiterating his declaration #hat Moyer and Haywood, the miners await- ing trial in Idaho on a charge of murder, are “undesirable citizens.” A number of labor leaders, in interviews, severely criticise the president for his stand In the matter. Jury Unable to Agree. Lexington, Ky., April 26.—After twenty hours’ deliberation the jury in the case of Bill Britton, charged with the assassination of Town Marshal James A. Cockrill at Jackson, Breath- itt county, reported a hopeless dis- agreement and were discharged. The fury stood eight for acquittal and four for conviction. The trial lasted more than two weeks. _ HELD ON MIH?DER—-CHARGE English Pugilist Accused of Killing Unknown Man, London, April 26.—“Pedlar” Palmer, the English pugilist, who with another man was arrested on suspicion of hav- ing caused the death of an unknown man whose body was found in a rail- road car coming from Epsom after the races, was charged at the Croydon | police court with murder.

Brussels, April 26.—An anarchist ermed with a dagger, a loaded revol- ver and other weapons was arrested in a church where Prince Albert of Belgium, nephew of King Leopold and heir presumptive to the throne, was about to visit. One of the attendants of the church accidentally discovered the man hidden in a confessional box, locked the door and called the police.

'PENROSE AT WHITE HOUSE First Visit Since Publication of Con- spiracy Story. ‘Washington, April 26.—Senator Pen- rose of Pennsylvania, whose name has been freely mentioned in connection j with the giving away at a dinner of the details of an alleged conspiracy against President Roosevelt, was one of the carly visitors at the White | House, reaching there before 10 o'clock. This is Senator Penrose’s first cisit to the White House since the pubiication of the story which he denied a day or two afterwards. " The senator remained at the White House for an hour, but a good portion of this time he spent in conversation with Secretary Loeb. When the senator came out he was surrounded by a group of newspaper men. The senator was not at all com- municative and declared again and again he had nothing to say of any consequence. { No information was given out at the { White House regarding the senator's {oall except that the visit had been a very pleasant, one. Secretary Loeb said that he was not ! present during the senator’s talk with | the president, but that in the subse- ,Quent conversation Mr. Penrose had with the secretary the so-called con- spiracy was not referred to.

WILL SPEAK AT INDIANAPOLIS Intends to Dlscuss Overcapitalization of Railroads and a Proposition for Supervision of Corporations in Inter- state Business. Chicago, April 26.—A dispatch to the Tribune from Washington says: Memorial day at Indianapolis will mark the beginning of a new railroad crusade on the part of President Roosevelt. His speech at that time Wwill be devoted to the future and not to the past. He will then explain for the first time in public his idea in re- gard to overcapitalization of railroads. This will be connected inevitably with a proposition for supervision of cor- porations doing interstate business and their regulation by the federal govern- ment as railroads are regulated today. Every development of late shows that most of the big lines of railroads in the United States are vastly over- capitalized, some of them having a funded debt and capital stock issues amounting to from two to ten times their actual cost. It is the purpose of the president to get at the facts rather than to suggest a remedy, but it is the facts themselves which the railroad men are most anxious to conceal. They were not half so much afrald of the rate law as they are of the results of an honesily conducted government commission to inquire into the cash value of the railroads and to fix the responsibility for a vast amount of watered stock which has been un- loaded upon the public.
