two years has shown that those who

Trouble in Guatemala.
Affairs are not progressing smooth
" in Guatemala as indicated by dis
patches, received via the city of Mex
leo, which state war is impending
between Guatemala and San Saliva
dor The alleged motive for the bad
feeling is that San Salvador does not
want to enter into compact for the
unifcation of the Central American
States. The consul-general for Qua
temala at New York, has received a
dispatch from the Secretary of
Foreign Affairs of his country, in
structing him to deny the report of
revolutionary outbreak in Guate-
mala. The trouble, he says, was
riot in the department of Santa Rosa
(which was completely quelled in
three days, and perfect peace now
prevails" The Secretary's explain
alton is generally regarded as a cor
rect one, and there is little fear of
Central American war.
An obstacle 70 a Central American
federation is stated by a Nicaraguan
paper, which says that Guatemala,
Honduras and Costa RIGA owed
abroad $50, 100000, and that Nicara-
qua and Salvador are not anxious 20
enter into an amalgamation to share
such a doubtful benefit. However.
if union were agreed upon, the ques-
ton of this debt might be easily
settled by exempting the federation
from its payment.
