Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras
Are Conferring-Two Stories
of a Battle.

Washington, July 2O.-The state de-
partment was advised that the armis-
tice entered into by the warning Cen
trail American republics is being re-
srected and that preliminary negotia-
tions are progressing satisfactorily.
The names of the peace commissioners
have not been communicated to the
department as yet, but they are at this
writing on board the Z. S. S. Marble
head off shore nine miles, discussing
terms of peace.
A dispatch from Guatemala City de
clsres that the battles at Platanar and

and the reports stating otherwise are
false. The Salvador end Of the line
declares the Guatemalans were COM
pletely defeated in these two fights.
