Siansd in good faith in the city Of Guatemala
on July 10, $780,
An official telegram has been received
from the minister of foreign affairs in Hon.
duras. saying that his government accepts
in all its parts the foregoing agreement.
WASHINGTON CRY. Aug. 13.-Wharton,
acting secretary of state, who is in con-
slant communication with Blaine, at Bar
Harbor, says no instructions have been
sent TO Minister Miner at Salvador to rec
ognize the government of Ezeta either as a
provisional government or a de facto gov
eminent. 1t Is admitted at the state de-
partment that Blaine is willing
TO act as mediator in re-
storing peace between Guatemala
and Salvador. To this the provisional gov
eminent in Salvador, it is understood, does
not object. but it does object to Blaine's
known desire to dictate the terms of the
settlement. Ezeta, it is said, has reminded
our minister that the Intervention of
Blame has caused the Salvador
ian government to arrest the
the advance of its victorious troops upon
the capital of the nation by which the in
dependence OF the Salvadorian people would
have been assaulted.
This admonition is regarde d here as put
ting upon the shoulders of the United
States the responsibility for whatever may
be the consequences of Blaine's interven-
ton. As Guatemala was the aggressor
in the conflict it considers that
Salvador will feel entitled to call upon
Blaine in the near future to compel Guate-
mala, by such means as he can devise, to
accept proper terms of settlement If
there should be any disposition on the part
of that country to take undue advantage of
the respite that Baine's diplomacy seems
to have secured for her, 1t is ru-
mored tina. Blaine proposes to couple
an offer to organize the provisional
government of Salvador with conditions in
the nature OF a pledge, by Ezeta. to set in
operation the provisions of the Salvadorisn
constitution SO as to restore the legal gov
eminent. Ifthis is authentic, it points to
radical departure from the traditions and
policy of the United States. and will find
no precedent except the one set by Blaine
himself during the disability of Garfield.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 13.-The Pacific
Mail steamship San Juan brings advices
from Central America to July So At that
time but three battles had been fought.
When the San Juan reached the Ncara-
guam port OF Corinto an exciting incident
occurred, which may bring about interna-
tional complications. The United States
commercial agent at Corinto is a native of
Guatemala, named Palozio. He is also
agent of the Pacific NJ all Steamship Com
pany. Several days before the arrival of the
San Juan, an American named Post arrived
there to take steamer for Guatemala. In
some way the steamship agent learned that
Post was to go into Guatemala and act as a
spy on Barrillas and his government on
behalf OF General Ezeta and San SAL
vador. When the San Juan arrived at
Corinto, Post went on board, but
ne was intercepted by Captain
McRae, who had been previously warned
by the steamship agent. 4 he captain. ac-
cording to the statement of passengers.
took away revolver from Post and firing
the bullets into the water, handed The empty
gun to him. He then ordered the man to
get off the vessel, refusing him passage to
Guatemala. Post demanded as an Ameri.
can citizen to be carried to Guatemala, but
both the captain and the steamship agent
at Corinto refused him passage.
When the steamer reaches La Union she
was boarded by General Barrunda and
General Medina, two warriors who ex.
pected to 60 into Honduras. and with a
thousand troops each raise revolt against
the Honduras government. Barrunda
finally concluded TO sail on a German
steamer then in port, and left the San Juan.
Medina, who is cousin of the ex.presi-
dent of Honduras. remained on board, and
disembarked at Acajutla. He had with
him young soldier from San Salvador.
who had left his wife and two children at
La Union, TO enter Honduras under the
promise of captains commission under
General Medina and his ], 600 revolutionists.
When the vessel arrived in port Medina
neglected his young companion and went
ashore without him. From that moment
the young man never spoke, but lap,ed
into a morose state. When the YES sci was
at anchor at Acajutla he sprang over the
railing into the water and was drowned.
sAS SALVADOR, Aug. 13.-War with Hon.
duras now appears TO be inevitable. The
actions OF President Bogran have not been
satisfactory to Provincial President Ezeta
OF San Salvador. and he is irritated beyond
endurance and may take summary action
at any time.
