GUATEMALA CITY. Wis Mexico, July
2e.--The Guatemalan artillery, under
General Csyetano Sanches. with 800
men, and the infantry under General
Manuel Aguilar to the number Of 1000
men, made an attack on tho forces
of Salvador about thirty miles
from the boundary on the morning Of
July 2s, and drove them back into
their own territory with loss on both
sides of about 400 men. Salvador lost
one Gatling gun and one field piece Of
artillery. Two OF Guatemala's stand
ards were triumphantly borne of by
the Salvador troops. Guatemala's loss
was by far the most severe, less than $50
men being killed on the side of Saliva
dor. The fight took place on the morn
ing after parley under the flag of
truce on the boundary, the two contend
to any apicable understanding.
The defeat of the Salvadoreans was ap.
parently ruse on their part, for two
hours afterward, reinforced with troops
under General Hernandez, nicknamed
Ell Cato (the cat), they returned and
iercely attacked the Guatemalan troops,
surprising and forcing them to beat a
hasty retreat, with severe loss of
men, arms and ammunition. Tho re-
treat was kept up for over twelve miles
before halt was called, and now the
Salvador troops are encamped on Guate-
malan soil within half mile from the
high road leading to Guatemala's cap
ital.
Nicaragua has just sent offers of as
slstance to Salvador of both money and
troops. The latter offer has been &C.
cepted, and combined effort on the
part Of these two countries against
Guatemala to stifle her pretensions may
lead to long and bloody war in Cen trail
America.

Buildings were crushed like egg-shells.
