statements from Guatemala ami Sal

varicating is being done by one o
the two countries. The opinion her,
Is that the alleged alliance Of all tn,

r against Salvador i for the FurpOs,
OF crushing out OF existence tina
small republic, under the plea tina
anarchy prevails and that General
Ezeta's government is not desired
by the people Of Salvador. The
seizure Of rifles aboard the steamed
. COliDIa 10y the Guatemalan govern
: ment has been a constant theme O
r conversation here today. Many be
lieve that owing to the fact that tn,
seizure was made before hOstilities
hai occurred and before the Central
American compact was signed, the
: United States will ask Guatemala
for an explanation Of her conduct.
Later advices give further details
OF the seizure, that the number Oi
rifles seized was two hundred, and
that they hai been ordered from
san Francisco before any revOlU-
tionary movement had broken out
in san Salvador. These arms were
destined for tine use Of the newly
formed mounted police in Salvador

which took them ashore.
A revolutionary uprising on a
small scale took place yesterday n
San Miguel In Salvador. The ring
leaiers were caught, tried by court
martial and shot. In the interior Of
the republic everything is quiet.
SIZE. GERININO PoN
was shown n telegram published
yesterday from Guatemala that re-
feTTesi tO the compact entered into by
| the Genital American republic
against Salvador. He said: "Gaut-
cmaia has no right to interfere in
the internal affairs Of san Salvador,
even # assisted 10y the other repub-
lies. An act Of that kind is ever an
| imposition and Utfgnse. After such
| important events n those which
have taken place in Salvador, II Is
necessary 10 newly consult the will
0f the people. The impOsitiOns ami
threats Of Guatemala anu her allies
are incompatible with the dignity
ami independence OF the people Of
Salvador"
Mr.. Pom referred to the Guatema-
Ian dispatch touching the points Of
the Central American compact IT,
iatiug to amnesty for all engaged in
revolutionary movements, and said
with equal reason SalvalCT'S Old de
cree, was law granting general am
nesty 20 all people who have taken
part in any revolutionary move
meut against Guatemala and her al
lies. lie further said the excuse
given 10y Guatemala that the officer
IN command Of her troops in the re-
cent fight committed an act Of dis
obedience 10y crossing the frontier,
and that he has been arrested ami
will be- court martiale,l, is ridiculous,
because, under the circumstances,
he should have been Immediately
cOurt-martialed, which j. something
Guatemala has not done, nor thinks
Of doing.
MANUEL DIELUEZ,
the Guatemalan minister. iuterprets
the telegram announcing the COM
Pact in Central America Is meaning
that il General Ezeta does not step
down and out peacefully, the COM
bined powers will invade Salvador
for the purpose Of making him sub
init.
THE BATTLE.
News received in this city yeSter-
day from Guatemala and Salvador
confirms the account given Of the
battle on the frontiers Of the two
countries on July 18th. IL is said
that orders have been given TO
General Pho POrta, civil ami military
commander Of the department OF
Chiquimula, TO advance $500 troops
toward the Salvador frontier. These
troops will be met by like number
from Honduras, under command Of
General Avila LocayO, and the
forces Of both countries will make
joint issue against Salvador.
Great fears are felt in Guatemala
that Mexico Is about to cross the
border with her troops and make a
direct onslaught on Guatemala. The
latter country has detailed Generals
Molina and SOcorrO DE Leon to
unite the forces i'm their departments
and in Altos, numbering all told
5000 men, and concentrate them in
the department Of Peten in orier to
resist the Mexicans. General Mem
dizahal, Guatamalan Secretary Of
War, has assumed personal COM
mani OF the Guatamalan troops in
the capital. Troops are being con-
centrated there day by day and no
excuse from serving Is received.
In the department OF the west the
troops have been placed under the
command Of Colonel Pedro Izaguire,
political Governor Of San Marcos,
and District President Barrillas.
THE FEELING IN GUATEMALA
today is said to be one Of the ut |
NEST insecurity. President Barrillas |
Is beginning 10 be universally dis |
Liked for his weak and vacillating /
policy toward his people. His /
dow fall j. looked upon NJ almost
certain within n very short time, /
and n general revolutionary feeling /
pervades the entire republic. Large
orders for arms have heen sent TO
the United States. hut il il believed
that the people Of Guatemala will be
compelled 10 furnish n forced loan
of money to the government 20
meet these war expenses and 10 re-
plenish the already depleted nation
al treasury.
The scheme for a 81, 900, 900 loan
in France has fallen TO the ground,
owing to the present alarming state
of affairs.
General JoliO Garcia Granados is
now in Nicaragua actively engaged
in collecting forces, arms and am
