IN THE CASE OF WAR.
Her Strength to Costa Rica

WASHINGTON. March. I'm the
event of a war between Nicaragua and
Costa Rica it is said that the alliance
known as the Greater Republic would
give to Nicaragua the armed strength
of Salvador and Honduras. The Mica
raguan army is estimated at about s.
G0 men, Salvador has not more than
5000 soldiers. but Honduras has the
best armed and equipped force in Cen
trail America. numbering $1,000. Against
these the Costa Rican army of about
1000 seems insignificant But in the
present calculations it is thought that
Guatemala would cast her influence
with Costa Rica. Guatemala has an
army of about 10000. In this event
the forces would be evenly matched,
with Nicaragua, Honduras and Saliva
dor arrayed against Guatemala and
Costa Rica
The basis for the view that Guatemala
may be drawn into the controversy is
the fact that the new President of the
Republic was a special envoy to Costa
Rica when the latter country was in
former conflict with other Central
American States. AT that time Guate-
mala was looked upon as the ready
ally of Costa Rica, and it is thought
that Cabrera would again incline to the
same alliance

You spoke of your own relations

Then came the question of the power
