the warning Central American repub-
lies has gone into effect. Mr.. Munos,
the Guatemalan minister, called at the
State Department and announced
that he had been advised by his govern
ment of the selection of three commits
sioners and a secretary to represent
Guatemala at the peace conference.
They will go to San Jose, Guatemala,
in time to board the Marblehead,
The State Department has not been
advised that fighting has actually
ceased, but the American minister to
, Salvador, Mr.. Merry, and the Amerl-
can charge at Guatemala City both
send dispatches to the department,
which announce the agreement OF
both Salvador and Guatemala to stop
| fighting.
Mr.. Combs, the American minister
to Guatemala, has not yet reached
Guatemala City because of lack OF
transportation facilities, and the
State Department has sent instruc-
ton to Mr.. Brown, the charge to act
in his stead.
So far the State Department and
Central American diplomatists ii
Washington have no advices which In
dicate the terms upon which the re-
publics involved are willing to accept
peace. All efforts so far have been
devoted to the preliminary arrange
merits for the conference, and as the
United States is in no sense party
to the negotiations the State Depart
melt has few details concerning the
grievances of the warning republics.
The Guatemalan minister, Mr.. Mu-
nos, is much annoyed by reports from
Salvadorean points that Guatemala
continued fighting after it had agreed
to cease hostilities.
"Such stories are absolutely with
out foundation" he said: "There
was no agreement to cease fighting
until the armistice went into effect,
and the enemies of my government are
endeavoring to put it in false light.
President Escalon's special repre-
sentative, American Consul General
John Jenkins, has arrived in Washing
from Salvador, and has been in con
ference with Assistant Secretary Of
State Bacon respecting the re-estab
lishment of peace between the hostile
Central American republics. The pith
of his statements in this case is un-
derstood to be that Guatemala has
been for long time past intent on
picking a quarrel with Salvador, and
mas now seized on this pretext for the
attack.
Touching the authorizati ton to Amer
ican Minister Merry to represent Cos
ia Rica in the approaching confer
ence on the deck of the cruiser Mar
blehead, the minister explained that
while his country had always main
tanned an attitude of strict impair
TALLY in the present controversy be-
ween Salvador and Guatemala, it was
deemed best to have a representative
present at the conference in case the
discussion should in any way involve
the interests of the other Central
American countries.
Salvador and Guatemala must de-
eide through their representatives to
the peace conference on board the
cruiser Marblehead whether Hondu-
ras is to be represented in the confer
ence.
