Guatemalan Troops Apparently In
tend to Go to the Aid Of
Salvador.

The opinion prevails that Zelaya, presi-
dent Of Nicaragua, is cleverly planning with
the aid Of revolutionists in Guatemala and
Salvador, to overthrow the existing govern
ments of these two countries, as part OF
his scheme for the forming of confedera-
ton of all the Central American states with
himself as the absolute ruler. In fact, ne
has already indicated that he ultimately
hopes to accomplish that end.
Adyices received by the State and Navy
departments today from Central America
indicate clearly that the feeling Of unrest
in all of the countries, with the exception
of Costa Rica, is growing, and that gen.
eral warfare involving Nicaragua on one
side and Salvador and Guatemala on the
other would not cause surprise. Minister
Merry, now at San Salvador, wires the oe-
partment that Nicaragua Is masslng 1orce
of troops at Cosiguina That Town 49, 10 an
the extreme northwestern part OF NEAR a,

Bordering on the bay also is Honduras,
and between Nicaragua ana saiVaool "a

the port of Amapala, belonging 10 HON

Nicaragua and Salvador was negotiated.
Almost opposite Cosiguina Is the Saliva

Further reports state that Salvador Is as

vasion from Nicaragua, which may De eS-

thermore, Salvador is at dlsadvantase
against Nicaragua by reason OF the TACT
that the latter country has a small navy
capable of harassing Salvador at the ports
of Acajulta and La Union The same dls-

Guatemala like Salvador. is threatened

Conditions in Honduras.
At the same time reports come from Min
| lister Lee at Guatemala City saying that he
| has been advised by the minister of for
| eign affairs of the new provisional govern
ment of Honduras that Nicaraguan forces
have appeared off the north coast Of Hon
duras Ever since the recent Honduran
revolution Nicagaruan forces have been IN
possession of the coast Of Honduras on the
| gulf side. collecting revenues and generally
administering the affairs of the country.
| Recently, however, promise was exacteo
| from President Zelaya of Nicaragua 10
! withdraw his troops. Todays dispatch,
| however indicates. that the withdrawal
| must have been of short duration.
| The entire situation is much complicated
| and the State Department is unable to get
| an intelligent explanation Of the situation
! or definite idea of what the trouble Is all
| about or what is contemplated by these va
| rious movements.
| Because of the disturbed conditions in Sal
| vador the cruiser Milwaukee is now on Ger
| way to Acajulta. At present the only
| United States ship on the Pacific side is
| the gunboat Yorktown, and 1t Is desired
| that a ship shall be there in the event the
| Yorktown is obliged to leave for coal or any
| other purpose. The Milwaukee will not
| reach Acajulta for ten days at least.
| The State Department is advised by Min.
| lister Merry that he has forwarded mail
| report which is expected here in few
days, regarding the case Of the Moissant
| brothers. who are Imprisoned in Salvador
| for alleged completely in a revolutionary
movement. The Moissants claim to be
| American citizens Commander Mulligan
| of the Yorktown has been requested to
make an Independent Investigation Of the
matter and report to the Navy Department
