RIcHF1ELD SPRINGS, July 2S.-A cipher
dispatch received here by an official of
the Guatem alan Government says that
Guatemala accepts the war provoked
by San Salvador, and will continue it
until San Salvador elects legitim ate
president in place of EZeta. The battle
fought ON the 23d inst, the dispatch
says, resulted in the rout of the San

the Government only allows dispatches
favorable to itself to be sent abroad.
n The telegram further asserts that tho
arms taken from the steamer Colima
were taken with the consent of the
Pacific Mail agent and the American
Minister, by virtue of article II of the
Pacific Mail contract.
Honduras. the despatch further says,
will remain neutral for the present, but

require her. Guatemala has 40, 900 men

San Salvador has only about 10, 900.
