In the annals of History sublime chapters can be written by those who blush at the shame of such a treason, by those who love Central America and wish to see her free, independant and sovereign.

Here are the notices which La Fepública. gives us in its Saturday edition. San Salvador, July 25, 1913.
Several New York papers ask the opinion of the Fresident, citizen Carlos Meléndez in regard to the treaty proposed between Nicaragua and the United States, establishing a protectorate according to the Flatt plan, asking him at the same time if he would like to arrange a similar treaty.

The news concerning a Yankee protectorate in Central America has caused great excitement here, meetings are being organized to prepare and forward protests to the Department of State of the North American Republic. Salvador Calderón Ramirez informed a person worthy of belief that he is not favorably disposed to the intervention of the United States in Central America.
