War In Central America.
The most conflicting and contra
dictory reports come from Central
America in regard to the difficulty
between Guatemala and San Sal
vador. On the Goth the Mexican
journal FL Universal published an
account of a battle between 5000
Guatemalas and q large force of
Salvadorians in which the Guate
malans were defeated with loss OF
over forty killed. The Guatema-
lans have since denied that there
was any battle at all while the
| Salvadorians now claim that six
have been fought and that they
were successful in all. The New
York Herald claims to have inform
alton of an alliance between Guate
maIa and Honduras on one side
and Nicaragua, Salvador and Costa
Rica on the other. 1t seems prob
able that general Central Amer
lean war cannot be avoided, and
the Herald claims that the Guate-
malan government will appeal to
the United States to prevent Mex
lean interference. The latest relia-
BILE estimate of the armed forces OF
each republic is as follows: Qua
temala $1,000, Honduras 5000, Sal
vador 10000, and Nicarag qua and
Costa Rica jointly 10000.
Nicaragua Canal Interference.
DIR. Wilfrid Nelson, an old-time
Central American traveller, who is
now in New York, says that it is
pretty we'll understood in Central
America that if Guatemala should
overwheIm Salvador and Mica
ragua, she will load down the cana
with so many concessions as tc
: render it's completion by the Ameri
can company impossible, unless the
United States interferes. DR.. Mel
son claims that it is said in Mica
ragua that French capitalists stanc
ready to build the canal if Guate
mala Gusts the Americans from thu
canal.
