WAR BEGUN AGAIN.

Iszeta Near the Gates of the Capital of Guatemala With an Army-Sal- vador has Changed Her Plans Again and VIII End the Guatemala Trouble Before Fighting Honduras -Barillas Adopts an Arbitrary Tone With the Diplomats-Martial Rule in Guatemala.
 CTrY OF MEA1co, Aug. 1S.-The most influential and wealthy citizens of Salva- dor, as well as the lower classes, have of fered their services. and money to Ezeta to prosecute the war against Guatemala. The people have become tired of the yoke which Guatemala has forced upon Salva- dor and have decided to lend all their SUD- port and make it warm for their enemy. Troops are being massed upon the from tier, and if the army of occupation of Sal vador in Guatemala is not already nov ing it is probable that they will be to-day, when battle will be fought in all proba- bility.
 A telegram received here yesterday states that the diplomats had a conference with Barillas Saturday regarding peace, and that he positively refuses to consider the subject unless Ezeta be deposed and affairs be again restored as they were un- der Menendez.
 According to Le Traite D'Union of this city, Salvador, under the presidency of Sal divar, paid tribute to the Guatemalan president of $50, 900 year, which it said was employed to increase the fortune of that functionary. On the downfall of the Saldivar government by revolution General Menendez, who became president of Saliva dor, continued this disgraceful tribute to Barillas, who became president of Guate mala by the death of Dictator Barrios | General Carlos Ezeta, provisional president of Salvador, on taking the reins of govern ment into his own hand positively refused to accede to the demands of Barillas for the continued payment of this tribute, and wal was at once precipitated.
 | Ezeta says Salvador is tired of submit ting to the tyranny of Guatemala ant its presumptuous demands must b, stopped. The rough answer of Barillas tt the diplomatic corps, which infers besides the deposition of Ezeta, the continuance ot this tribute, has stirred the Salvadorial government to action again, and hostilitie have been opened. It is believed that, not withstanding the reports that large force of Gurtemalans will attempt to stop tn advances of Ezeta's army, the latter vii be victorious, as in the former battles, ant within one or two weeks will attack tn, capital of Guatemala
 The outposts of the Salvadorian arm, are said to be about go miles from the cit of Guatemala, but this is here believed t be exaggerated in distance some 20 miles It is believed here that the presidency O Barillas in his present demand will caus his downfall, but it appears as yet he master of the situation so far as the gov ernment is concerned in Guatemala am has been since the beginning of this diff culty.
 This statement is based upon the mos reliable authority. It appears that Barilla has been ill advised in the present case an all here deplore the fact that the term offered by the diplomatic corps were nc accepted.
