SUPPORT TO GUATEMALA
REBELS.

Washington, July Again the
United States will probably figure as a
peacemaker. Guatemala and Salvador
are making overtures for the arbitra-
ton of their troubles resulting from
the alleged activity of s. -Ior in sup
port of the revolutionary movement
against President Cabrera of Guate-
mala. and it is likely that the United
States will be selected as the country
in which the board of arbitration will
meet
The state department has been adj
vised of the desire of the two oun
tries, which are almost at the point of
making war against each other, to
have their differences settled by arbi-
t~ration, and although formal negotia-
tons have not been made as yet. there
seems to be but little doubt that an
amicable settlement of the points OF
difference will be finally effected
through arbitrators.

try, Blu i is not believed that he will
arrive in Washington for several
weeks because of difficulty of reaching
this country from Salvador.
Guatemala Complains.
Guatemala has complained bitterly
to the United States of the conduct of
Salvador and charges that the latter
government has taken every means TO
forward the cause of the revolutionary
general, BarillaS, and to hasten the
downfall of President Cabrera. 1t is
charged that Salvador not My wink

boundary into Guatomalan territory,
but actually SEM t. DDS into Guate-
mala and committed many ACTS which
cannot be regarded less than the
invasion of the territory of a friendly
power.
