WAR is DECLARED.
Central American Countries Ready tc
Fly at Each Other.

Fly at 6aCn OtHCI.
London, Feb. II. - The Daily MAIL
this morning publishes a dispatch
from Guatemala declaring that war
has been proclaimed between Guate'
mala on one side and Salvador n
Honduras on the other.
According to previous dispatches
from Panama Guatemala and Salvador
were on the point Of war at the begin
ming of this month. Honduras also
was said to be acting with Salvador
and Nicaragua in opposition to Guate'
mala.
1t seemed that the movement, &C
cording to the Panama dispatches,
was the outcome of the congress OF the
Central American republics at Corinto,
Nicaragua, last year, at which a treaty
was drawn up and subsequently signed
providing for arbitration of every dis
agreement between the republics.
While the congress was being held a
serious misunderstanding occurred be-
tween President Regalado OF Salvador
and President Cabrera of Guatemala.
1t was announced from San Jose,
Costa Rica, Oct. 4, that the Central
American court of compulsory arbi-
tration had been installed there but
that Guatemala had refused to partici-
pate.
Central American Union.
The movement on the part OF Saliva
dor, Nicaragua and Honduras was re-
ported to be aimed against Guatemala
in consequence of her attitude at the
Corinto congress and against Costa
RIGA, which is supposed to sympa-
! thize with Guatemala. Central Aemri-
can union would be the ~ostensible OBJ
| ject of the expected war, and the real
motive for which, according to Pan
ANA advices, was that the presidents
of Salvador, Nicaragua and Honduras
| wished to follow Mexico's precedent
and establish a federative republic Of
the Central American states.
The Central American situation is
further complicated by the interven-
ton of Guatemala on n side and
Nicaragua and Salvador on the other
In the election Of the president OF Hon
duras. Guatemala is in favor Of the
president-elect, Manuel Bonilla, while
Nicaragua and Salvador insist that
the retiring president OF Honduras,
Gen. Sierra, shall continue in the pres
idency. The latter has refused to
give up the presidential post and SEN
or Bonilla has declared a civil war.
