SMALLPOX IN THE ARMY.
CRY OF MEXICO (via Galvestonl, August
14th.-Small-pox is causing many deaths
in the Guatemalan army ON the Salvador
ian frontier.
1t appears difficult TO arrange peace be-
tween Guatemala and San Salvador, as
Miner, the American Minister to Guate-
mala, will not act in accord with the rest
of the Diplomatic Corps.
MORE SERIOUS THAN REPORTED.
CHINGo iGuatemals), July 30th.-The
fight at Blue Rock proves to have been
more serious tDaD was HrSt reported. It
seems that some 1000 Guatemalan troops
came to the assistance of the Liberal force,
Salvador troops and regular troops. Gen.
eral Ezeta drove them back, and scattered
them, capturing eight pieces of artillery.
The defeated troops returned to Jutiapah,
as their ammunition was exhausted.
The pickets of the Guatemalan troops
were fired upon at Contepque, about six
miles from here, this morning. Although
war has not yet been declared, big fight
is expected daily, as this is the only point
which Ezeta and his army can enter Guate-
mala
There are $500 troops here, 1.O4O
more at Contepque, and 5000 scattered
along the frontier east from here. The
force here is under the command
of General Cayetano, and Captain B.
Emile, French artillery engineer is Sec
ond in command. There are "a pieces of
artillery here, which were brought over 100,
miles of mountain road by Captain Emile.
He had to use 450 mules, beside oxen, to
get the guns over one hill
The troops are in good condition, and
are we'll armed. Work on the trench is
being pushed rapidly.
