Puerto Cortez, Honduras March IA,
via New Orleans, March 20.-A turn
of sinister and wide spread signifi-
canoe was given the Central Ameri-
can war yesterday by finding on the
person of some captured Nicaraguan
soldiers proclamations promising
them the loot of the first cities which
they capture in both Honduras and
Salvador
This proclamation at once amount
ed to practical declaration of war
ny Nicaragua against Salvador. 1t
showed that lie Nicaraguan common
soldiers are at least being sent to
fight what they believe a war of ven
geance; and it placed the Americans
In Puerto Cortez and throughout this
republic on the anxious seat because
of the fact that American residents or
American capital form the principal
property holders of most Honduras
cities, especially those which are the
richest and therefore the most reli-
able to loot in case of success of the
Nicaraguan army.
The proclamation says:
The reward for our valor will be
found as we put our feet ON the enc
mys soil-and in order that those
opposed to us may repent of their
tementy in attacking our liberal
towns, we offer as booty the first
cities both of Honduras and of Sal
Na~or that fall into our power"
Grounds for this sacking of cities Is
thus stated:
Will Seek Vengeance.
The hour. has arrived in which our
glorious flag will go to exact repara,
ton for opproOrious injuries to our
countrymen in the towns of Los Cal
pules and Carrizal; in these two towns
our comrades were villaneously assas-
sinated by minions of the despot of
Honduras.
Vengeance is to be visited upon
Salvador for the attack upon the town
of Lon by General Maleshin of Saliva
dor when, it is claimed that he VIC
lated Nicaraguan homes, burned
property and committed every class
of robbery"
Prepared to Defend Themselves.
Americans in Puerto Cortez, in view
of this proclamation, are prepared to
defend themselves if necessary Some
complain because the United States
has not sent naval protection here.
Although measures for self defense
have been taken by many Americans.
1t is not true, as reported, that they
Lave been impressed into the service
of Honduras or that they are taking
part in any numbers in the hostility.
Nicaraguans Surrender
According TO reports received here
part of the Salvadorean army is by
this time fighting with Honduras.
March u was fixed for a general ad-
vance of the allied forces. A recent
telegram says that seven boatloads of
disbanded Nicaraguan troops surren-
dered to the Salvodorean authorities
and were concentrated in the inter
Tor of Salvador
For several days Geographic com.
munication has been interrupted with
Truxillo, Honduras, at which port
President Bonilla has ordered 1000

The train which has been leaving
