TREACHERY
is CHARGED
President Cabrera Is Accused OF
Bad Faith Agrees TO Armls-
tice but Leads Attack.

SAN SALVADOR, July 10. : The
armlstice between Salvador and Hon
.duras on one side and Guatemala on
the other has been declared and a
treaty of peace is to be discussed In
neutral waters on board the United
States cruiser Marblehead.t ~ lssar
On Tuesday the Guatemalan forces
were defeated at Platanar and Meta
pan with enormous losses.
Notwithstanding President Cabrera's
agreement with the president of Mexi-
co to cease fighting pending peace ne
gotiations two sharp engagements have
occurred in Salvador just across the
Guatemalan border. One was at Plata
mar and the other at Metapan.
On Tuesday within two hours after
Cabrera had agreed to suspend hostili-
ties his troops attacked the Salvadorean
army at Platanar, only to be defeated
by the Inter. The fighting at Metapan
occurred Monday afternoon. Both
Platanar and Metapan are objective
points in the march to Santa Ana, the
suIAmer capital of Salvador.
The Guatemalans are much annoyed
by reports from Salvadorean points that
Guatemala continued fighting after 1t
had agreed to cease hostilities.
"Such stories are absolutely without
foundation an official said. There
was no agreement to cease fighting un-
til the armistice went into effect yes
terday, and the enemies of the govern
ment are e%ndeavoring to put it in a
false light. Negotiations for an arms
tice have been confused with the actual
agreement to stop war, and in Justice
to the government | hope 1t will be gen
orally understood that any fighting done
previous was not in violation of any
peace compact"
Honduras interest In the war is Sec
ondary In its nature. but as an ally of
Salvador she has become involved to
such a degree that the state department
believes the other two countries in the
controversy will decide to have Hon
duras represented on board the Marble
head.
