The Greater Republic of Central America does not seem to be having a very pleasant time of it.
If you remember, it was only recognized by our Government in December last, and already there is trouble.
On page 220 of Vol. I we told you that the Greater Republic of Central America was formed by the union of the three republics of Honduras, San Salvador, and Nicaragua.
Now there is a revolution in Honduras; one of those toy revolutions we spoke about in No. 22 of The Great Round World.
In all the small South American Republics, revolution and rebellion is as the breath of life to the people.
If a general gets popular with his soldiers he at once plots to overthrow the government, and with the help of the army become president himself.
Every man who is either clever or ambitious gets up a toy revolution to depose somebody, and take his place.
The present revolution appears to be of the usual kind.
The President has become unpopular, and it is said that one of the former presidents, Dr. Soto, thinks he would like to have another term of office, and so he has incited the people to revolt.
A new government has been formed to take charge of affairs until they become more settled, and things seem to be shaping themselves to suit the doctor's wishes.
