Compromise.

Stopp. d Central me ica
Benefited.

Washington. April 2.-From unofficial
advices reaching Washington, the gem
eral terms of an agreement signed yes
terday by which the war between Mex
leo and Guatemala was averted, are
substantially known. Mexico's demand
was in the form of an ultimatum sent
by Secretary Mariscal November q,
embracing the following points:
First-Mexico asks satisfaction for in
juries received by the invasion of her
territory and for vexations of which
foreigners and Mexicans cutting wood
in the forests Of Aqua Azul, Sannicho-
las and San Pedro, and Mexican resi-
dents of Ayulta have been the object.
Second-Mexico also demanded pc
cuniary indemnity for damages sus-
tanned.
Third-Mexico also demands indem-
nifty for the expenses of mobilization Of
her troops and situating authorities and
employees in suitable places for public
security on the frontier.
Fourth-Mexico asks that the labors
of the boundary commission in accord
ance with the treaty Of 1882 be speedily
concluded. said treaty not being open
to discussion.
1t is understood that 100000 was
the amount of indemnity demanded by
Mexico, also that she insisted on Qua
temala's dismissing her surveyor gem
eral, who had taken part in locating
the boundary.
GUATEMALA'S ANSWER.
January 70 Guatemala answered the
ultimatum. The answer was pacific in
tone but did not concede Mexico's right
to the territory designated in the ulti-
matum, nor to the right of a fixed cash
indemnity.
Final negotiations are a compromise
between the ultimatum and reply. 1t
is believed Mexico has agreed to arbi-
trate the amount of cash indemnity in
stead of exacting 1000, 900, as at first
claimed.
Senior Romero, the Mexican minister
has been kept advised of the negotia-
tons, but neither he nor Senior Arriga,
the Guatemalan minister, is yet in a
position to make public the exact terms
on which war was aVerted. President
DiaZ has announced that the terms will
be communicated to congress later. The
peace agreement is regarded as of far
reaching Importance to central Ameri-
can states, which have expected for the
last six months to be plunged into a
bloody struggle The Mexican army
and navy has been preparing for a con-
fiict and calculations had been made
as to where troops can be landed in
Guatemala. The Mexican army num-
bers 34,S33 on peace footing, with 1876, 900
available on war footing. The Qua
temala army numbers 5000 on a peace
footing. The agreement now effecte3
puts an end to active war preparations.
