Abstract

The Central - American Emeute

March 26, 1885 issue

add to cart   close window

The article reports that there are two revolutions in progress in Central America, one an intestine affair in Colombia, and the other an international scrimmage between Guatemala, party of the first part, and Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and San Salvador, parties of the second part. A million dollars is a sufficient incentive to a revolution in Central America at any time. Four millions would infallibly lead to a "consolidation" of all the able-bodied brigands in the country around the central nugget. It is assumed that U.S. President Grover Cleveland and his advisers desire nothing so much as public tranquility, and the opportunity which it affords for the prosecution of wholesome domestic reforms.
