BARRIos GIVEN BATTLE.
Skirmishes Between Honduras and San
Salvador

LA LIBERTAD, SAN SALVADOR. March
27.-War, which has been thought in
evitable for some days past, has already
become an actuality. The forces of Hon
duras and those of San Salvador have
already come into collision, and several
skirmishes have occurred. The armies
OF Guatemala and Honduras are acting
in harmony, and are now confronting the
forces of San Salvador. Active measures
are being taken by San Salvador, Nicara-
qua and Costa Rica to protect themselves
against the revolutionary scheme of Pres
ident BarriOs. On March % an alliance.
defensive and offensive, was formally en-
tered INTO by these three States, and ar
rangements We're perfected for putting
an effective force into the field.
San Salvador, whose territory
is most threatened, takes the leading place
in this alliance. She will put her whole
army into the field. Nicaragua will pro-
vide 1000 men and Costa Rica sends :, 1000.
Costa Rica at the same time contributes
$l0O,OOO toward the expenses OF the war.
President Zaldivar, of San Salvador, VIII
assume chief command of the allied
forces. President Cardenas, of Mica
ragua, Will be second in command, and

BARRIOS CUTS THE CABLE.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-Information
has been received at the Department of
State that the Central and South Ameri-
can cable was cut Thursday by some of
President Barrios' sympathisers. 1t was,
however, repaired Immediately by the
company.
THIS GOVERNMENTS NOTIFICATION.
Information has been received in this
city that on March % a treaty of alliance,
offensive and defensive, was formally
signed at Salvador by the Governments
OF San Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa
RIca. An alliance was entered into by
those States Immediately upon the an
nouncement of President Barrios' project
OF confederation, but details of the plan
of action for mutual defense were not
agreed upon until the 25th, when a treaty
was signed. By the treaty Costa Rica
pledges herself to contribute to the COM
mon defense for the present 500, 900 in
money and 1000 troops, who are
TO the seat of hostilities. Mic
aragua agrees to furnish 1900 troops
and San Salvador her entire available
military force. Costa Rica gives
her aid to the alliance in the shape of
money rather than troops, because of her
distance from the border line of San SAL
VadOr, where the Guatemalan forces
will seek to enter the territory of the
allies. There is no railroad and no way
for troops to reach San Salvador fr m Costa
Rica except by a tedious march of several
hundred miles.
By the terms of the treaty the Presi-
dent OF Salvador will have direction of
the operations against President Barrios
for the present.
