 From the neagre dispatches receiv- ed it Is understood that Commander Fullan landed force of about twenty marines from the Marietta at TruJitl0 and twenty at ceiba and then coutin- uedl his course to Puerto Cortez, II is esid the dispatch to tue navy de- partment was sent by Commander Full lam before his departure from Ceiba today and that it indicated an inten- tion on the part of the commander to land a force of twenty men at Puerto Cortez upon his arrival there.
 The Nicaraguan commander in charge of the invading force at the Honduran port, Trujilio. gave Con- mander Fullam his promise that Amer inan interests and all foreign interests would be protected and that. trading vessels would be permitted to enter ard leave the port without molesta- ion. the same as before the capture Of the port.
 The collier Nero has been left at Trujillo by Commander Fullam that It may serve as a base for the small landing parties The commander ex- pressed the view, 1t is said, that no more vessels would be needed in the Caribbean than there are now.
 Both coasts of the warning Central American republics are completely cov- cred by American gunboats In addi- tion to the Marietta on the Honduras coast. which is the point regarded most in danger, the Paducah IS furtner soutn of the Nicaraguan coast. On the Pa- cinc side are the Princeton. which Is patrollins the Nicaraguan coast, and the Chicago, which Is patrolling the salvadorean and Hondurean coasts.
 Interventiom Is Probable.
 Joint intervention by Mexico and the United States In the war which threat ems to involve Central America IS now regarded as probable by diplomatists. Tenders of good offices on the part of the two governments have not been needed by Nicaragua, Honduras and Salvador and 1t has been suggested to the State Department that Mexico and the United States should send plenipo- tentiaries to the warning countries to Investigate the causes of the present war and order an immediate cessation of hostilities
 Secretary Root and Mir. Creel. the Mexican Ambassador. have been in con- ference frequently since the outbreak of the war, and Latin-American diplo- mats would not be surprised by the an nouncement that Mexico and the Uni led States have decided the war must cease In fact such settlement would be highly satisfactory to many of the South American republics. who feel that their countries suffer from the war-liks reputation Of the Central American countries.
 It has been pointed to the state De. partment that the cooperation of Mex. leo with the United States in restor g neace in Central America would ds arm criticism of the United States and show that it has no thought of aoquir- ing any territory of Latin American republics
 'pubiics and It's close relations with them because of their common Spanish origin are so we'll known that It's asso- citation with the United States 1T straiRhtening out the tangle would be a guarantee of good faith on the par of the intervening powers.
 The state Department Is in dread oi the claims which inevitably arise out oi war such as now is being carried or ana the protests of European nations sgstnst the destruction of the property oS their citizens in countries where Esurone cannot interfere are having eff 1ect on the administration. Diplomat, bava pointed out to the Washington government that it's position at the ap nroaching peace conference at Int tIagne will be peculiar If it permits ; 1yoT to progress which might be stop ned and which the Monroe doctrine ore ycrts European powers from stopping
 If Is believed in diplomatic circle that a joint demand on the part O Mexieo and this nation that lighting must cease would result Tn immediate naaca and the settlement of moote' pasttona through a tribunal create, SS, the joint action of Mexico and tn Ifn,ted states and so constituted tha justice to all the belligerent power would be ensured
