Paris Newspaper Declares We Are Suppressing a Popular Uprising.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
PARIS, Oct. 12.— Commenting on a correspondent's dispatch from New York this week on the disturbances in Central America, the Journal declares that these troubles are provoked by the intervention of the United States in Nicaragua, adding:
"It is useless to assert in the United States that American troops are acting solely for the purpose of safeguarding railway traffic, since it is becoming more and more evident that the intervention is much more active than that.
"In reality the Americans are supporting with the utmost of their power the present Government of the little republic against a popular movement, which aims at withdrawing the country from the increasing tutelage of the Yankees. We have here a new and interesting episode in the encroachment of the United States in Central America."
