who had been directing tho battle, rode
TO the very front OF the line, TOOK COM

drew and disbanded. AS soon rs the
news of the presidents death reached
tho city OF Guatemala, congress imme-
diately revok ed the decree of President
| BarriOs, issued on February Is. and the
Guatemala minister of foreign AFFAIRS
solicited an armistice of one month.
This request WAS refused by tho govern
meut OF San Salvador and her allies,
who replied toGuGtemala, charging her
with bad faith and only seeking an
armisti % for the purpose of securing
time to re-establish her army and that
nothing could satisfy salvador and
her allies except complete change OF
the ministry in Guatemaia, in order to
establish positive and durable peace.
Tho forces OF Salvador arc now advanc-
ing OH Guatemala City, both from the
west and south. II is expected an
8miclble arrangement will soon be
reached with Honduras. Negotiations
to this END are now golug on
1t is probable That President
Bogran will now unite with the three
allied republics against Guatemala, he
cone idering that the death OF Con. Bar
rios has annulled tho alliance between
Honduras and Guatemala.
