READY FOR WAR.

Managus, Nicaragua, March 26 =
The warlike movements which for
several months past have been
going on in three of the Central
American states, Salvador anG Costa
Rica on the one side. and Nicaragua
on the other. large numbers Of men
being impressed into the army of
each state and drilled daily have
reached condition of completeness.
But the indications pow are that
there will be no war at present or in
the near future. owing. in part to the
fact that while Salvador has much
the largest and best equipped and
drilled army, there is danger that If
the war is commenced by Salvador, a
strong revolution will develop in that
country against President Regalado
or that if Nicaragua takes the initi-
ative and attempts to attack Salvador
the people of that country will unite
as one man in support Of President
Regalado aud Costa Rica will invade
Nicaragua from the south.
The United States minister to
Costa Rica. NicaEauga and Salvador,
William L Merry, is at present
temporarily residing in Managua
He is having frequent conferences
with President Zelaya, the object Of
which is said to be the peaceful
settlement of the difficulties between
the three countries to which be is
accredited
