CLASH ON THE BORDER
HosfiHties Break Ont Bets0een Sal
Uad0r and Guatemala.

Washington, July 11-Hostilities between Sal
vador and Guatemala have broken out anew on
the border between these countries, where peace
was supposed to have been established pending
a settlement Of the trouble between the two
countries
Leslie M. Combs the American Minister to
Guatemala, who was on his way TO the United
States to assist in settling the difficulties be-
tween Salvador and Guatemala, has been Or
dered back to Guatemala City from ChampericO,
Guatemala, where he was reached by cable.
Mr. Combs will remain in the Guatemalan
capital 70 keep the United States advised con-
cerning the trouble and 20 protect American
interests. Salvadorean and Guatemalan troops
have been massed near the boundary line be-
tween the two countries for some time. and a
serious clash was expected, but a temporary
armistice seemed to have been agreed upon. and
Salvador announced that ]. r. Pacus had been
named as a special envoy to Washington for the
purpose of making representations TO the Amer
ican government concerning SalvadOr's position.
John Jenkins the American Consul General at
San Salvador. was TO accompany Mr. Pacus to
this country.
Salvader's alleged assistance Of revolutionists
in Guatemala who were attempting to overthrow
President Cabrera caused Guatemala to protest
bitterly to the United States and Mexico. and
resulted in representations to Salvador by those
two republics which indicated that they resented
foreign interference in the internal affairs of
Guatemala.
AS soon as the position of the United States
was made clear Salvador announced that Mr..
Pacus would come to Washington to explain the
situation. and Guatemala indicated a willingness
to have the United States act mediator, Re
assuring reports reached the State Department
concerning the internal conditions in Guatemala
and it believed until to-day that President
Cabrera had put down the revolution and that
the quarrel with Salvador would soon be
amicably settled

New-York tribune., 1906-07-12

Senior Don Jorge Munoz, the Guatemalan Min
lister to the United States was seen last night at
the Hotel Belleclaire and was asked about the
Washington dispatch telling Of the opening Of
hostilities between his country and Salvador
He said Il have not been officially notified Of
such event.
The dispatch telling Of the sending back of
United States Minister Combs to Guatemala to
protect American interests. of Salvador and
Guatemala troops being massed on the frontier,
and negotiations, was read TO the minister when
he said:
So far as know, the revolution in Guatemala
was recently put down and peace reigns there.
About this straining of relations between
my country and Salvador have not been off,
cially apprised. What know otherwise 1 can
not tell you. but 1t would not be a great deal,
anyway. I think there can hardly be an actual
outbreak between the two countries and am
sure there must be some misunderstanding
somewhere in regard to the contents of such a
dispatch. without, however, declaring that dis
believe it. 1 simply say that have not heard Of
such an event officially and so serious an Oc-
currence to me as war between my native land
and It's neighbor, 1 think would quickly reach
me. However, do not actually know anything
about the situation just now and I must decline
to say anything further.

The Wannssee crossed first on the Auk's weather quarter, but the Vim luffed inside the German yacht end took the weather position. The German yacht sailed very fast ana at D. m. was clearly in the lead with the Vim second on the Auk's weather quarter.
 At 2:16 the Aux had established a good lead, but by close sailing the Vim reached first position and rounded the first mark 2:so:S0. The Aux was sec- ond. The wannssee turned at 2;S4:SO.

 Oyster Bay. N. Y., Sept f0.-"Ail l can say is that have had @ very pleasant visit to President Roosevelt and that he and are in entire accord" This was the extent of the informa- ton which Governor Frank W. Hig- gins Of New York wished printed re- garding his conference today with President Roosevelt at Sagamore Hiil.
 When asked the subject of the con. ference the Governor said:
 Naturally the President and l talked over New York State politics and discussed the candidates"
 The Governor was asked as to the morning papers that he had a majority of the delegates to the Republican State Convention His reply was:
 T have no doubt that I have some good friend who has said that l have majority of the delegates, but you know that l never advertise"
 Have you given the President any assurances regarding the action of the State Conventionf"
 I'm afraid you will have to find out from the President what assurances I gave him."
 Ever since President Roosevelt took up his residence at Sagamore Hill in July there have been fredCent state ments in the newspapers that Cover nor Higgins was to come to Oyster Bay for conference. The uniform answer to these statements here has been that President Roosevelt ought not to take a hand in the politics of his State and that nothing was known of the visit of the Governor. After Governor Hig- gins had departed 1t was said at the executive offices that there would be no statement whatever from the Presi- dent regarding the conference

Chief Issues of FIeht Are Labor and
 Prohibition.

Prohibition.
 Portland, Maine, Sept. 10.-A fair day, interesting and important issues and the determination of party leaders to get out every possible vote, were combined today to bring throngs Of citizens to the polls.
 Voting was continued until o'clock in the afternoon.
 It will be several days before the result in all the 520 cites, towns and plantations will be known. Maine Is a prohibition State and the question of the rate in the manufacture of li- ouor is practically the sole issue of the voters at large this year, while those of the second Congressional dis trict are called upon to deal not only with the liquor question, but also in- directly with the question of labor leg islation in the lower branch of Con- xress.
 This condition was brought about hv Charles E. Littlefield's failure to vote for certain labor measures advo- cated by the American Federation or Labor. Samuel Gompers, president of the federation, personally stumped the district and asked the people 10 defeat MT. Littlefield.
 Prohibition has been the keynote of the campaign of Governor William T. Cohb who Is a candidate for another term in office, while the Democrats in- serted in their platform plank calling for the re-submission to the people Of the prohibitory law.
 Governor Cobbs reelection means a continuance of the prohibitory law, backed by the Cobb-Sturgis bill. which was passed by the last legislature and which was the object of severe criti- cism by the Democrats during the cam paign.
 Republican legislature would not only strengthen the position of Repub- lican Chief Executive, out would assure the reelection of United States Senator William P Frye.
 The election of Cyrus W. Davis. the Democratic candidate for Governor, and a supporting Democratic legislature. would result in once more placing be- fore the people the question of the sale and manufacture of liquor in the State and the retirement from public life of Senator Frye.
 The Republican Congressional candi- dates, other than Mir. Littleheld. are Amos L. Allen. in the First District Ward c. Burleigh. in the Third. and Llewellyn Powers in the Fourth.
 With the passing of the morning hours there was evidence throughout the entire State that the expectations of the campaign managers would be ItalAEEu eihN NAiAt o A4N0fS FOAN Non bN- ing cast, In many places it was pre- dlcted that the vote would be a re- cord breaker.
 At noon Chairman Carter of Lewis ton, chairman of the Republican State Committee, stated that he had no req son to change his estimate of Saturday. when he claimed a plurality of be- tween l2OOO and 15.000 for Governor Cobb.
 Congressman Littlefeld's district was the scene of more than ordinary inter- est. Clarence O, Paul. the Democratic district chairman. said that McGillicud- dy would be elected by a plurality of l.000 while Fred w. Wight. the Re- publican chairman. claimed the district for Mir. Littlefield by plurality of S,5oO, a decrease of 2,G00 from that re- celYed by him four years ago.
