ARMED CLASH IS PROBABLE Central American Circles
 Perturbed. ALLIANCE AGAINST ZELAYA Guatemala, Salvador and Nicaragua
 Will Take Field. Lee Christmas of Memphis is Already h Command of Strong Regiment
 and WaF Seems Practically
 Inevitable.
LLIANCE AGAINST HLAYA

Mexico City. July 16.-Oficial and diplomatic circles in this capital were greatly excited today by the report that a general outbreak of hostilities in Central America was likely to occur within the next fifteen days. The news reached here from Salvador in the form of a cablesram to the Associated Press The dispatch was as follows:
 An armed clash, which 1t Is believed will involve all of the Central Ameri- can states. will probably occur within the next fifteen days. It Is reported that the first battle will occur between the forces of Salvador and Nicaragua General Lee Christmas. an American who was wounded recently in the war between Nicaragua and Honduras, has been appointed as general in command of Salvadorean regiment.
 General Chamorro Is expected in Guatemala on the next ship. Upon his arrival he will probably prt ;laim him. qua"
 The State Department and the vari- ous legations were visited by the cor respondent of the Associated Press but at none of the places had official news of the outbreak been received. It was learned that General Chamorro, who Is named as the probable successor of oChoid dA LCldJd Ol 6nOulQ the allied forces prove victorious, is a member of one of the oldest. wealth fest and best known families in Nica- ragua. Of late. however. he has lived in Salvador and 1t Is believed that he was sent to Guatemala by President Figueroa of that country.
 Guatemala Prepared.
 Minister Giron of Guatemala declared that his country had long been prepar- ing to defend itself against an attack by Zelaya but said that he was not aware that an offensive alliance existed between Gutemala and Salvador. Tn the event of hostilities he sid Guate. mala could place 5000 we'll armed troops in the field and these men would be officered by military experts from the United States and Europe. He ad. mitted that the Honduran governmen, was hostile to zelaya. saying that tho latter had exacted an indemnity from them at the end of the recent war. Al the government was unable to pay this in cash Minister Giron declared that President zelaya confiscated the prop erty of many rich men of the republic hence the bitter feeling against Zelaya
 Dr. Manuel Sanchez. the newly ap- pointed Minister to Mexico said he did not believe the report, but immediate ly telegraphed his government for con. f1rmation. It Is thought hero that the much h-heralded struggle for supremac, in Central America is about to be waged and Zelaya of Nicaragua and Cabrera of Guatemala will be the real antagonists. the other Central Ameri. cans involved being merely pawns to be used by the two men who seek mas tery over all Central America.
 According to the wording of the ca. blegram 1t appears probable that Sal. vador. Guatemala and certain forces ir Honduras have united to fight Nicara- qua and drive Zelaya from the presi- dential chair of the country.

SENATOR LUsK AI1A|tKs
 ELL ALMOST SAvAGHY
Measure Proposes to Reduce Rate
 ef Taxation l5 5Cents.
CA Bill to Hamstring the Governor,n Declares COner's Representa-
 tive In Senate, and Black.
 mon Says "I Will Not Oppose.

The bill of Senator Fred s. Black mon to reduce the tax rate in Alabama. was quickly and unexpectedly taken yesterday from the adverse calendar, of the Senate where 1t had been put by the Committee on Finance and Tax alton. An administration and an anti administration fight was expected on this measure and expectations were not disappointed.
 Senator Lusk attacked the bill all most savagely. He wanted his hearers to understand that the bill, in the face of the appropriations which had been made by the Legislature. proposed to reduce the tax rate in Alabama from 65 cents on the hundred dollars to 50 cents on the hundred dollars. .-
 T am opposed to any such meas ure as this," Eaid Senator Lusk warm ly. Tt is misnamed- It ought to be called A Bill to Embarrass the State Administration for the next four years It ought to be called a bill to hamstring the Governor.
 When the administration leader in the Senate had taken his seat Senator Blackmon. leaning over his desk, said quietly:
 Tt was not the original purpose of the bill hamstring the Governor. but If the Senator from Marshall shall present that amendment. will not op- pose it.
 Tva xxnIo svxtn to take from the adverse calendar Senator Reese announced that he re- served the right to vote against che measure and that in all probability he would do 20. but he thought that che Senate should get the measure before it and. discuss it's merits,
 Senator Thomas of Barbour also wanted it understood that he was not to be considered pledged to vote for the bill because he was willing for the measure to be brought before the Sen- Rte
 The vote to remove the bill from the adverse calendar was. ayes 15, nays. II.
 Legal Expense Bill Up.
 But the Senate had for a brief mo- ment another financial proposition bearing upon the administration of the affairs of the State. which is likely to prove an apple of discord. This Is the bill to appropriate $50.000 to pay the States legal expenses in the railroad litigation now on between the State and the railroads operating in Ala bama. The bill came in yesterday morninG from the Finance and Taxa tion Committee with a favorable ie- port.
 Chairman Miller sent forward res olution making the bill special or- der for 12:30 o'clock today. This was ordered without opposition.
 But there is a strong suspicion that a troublous time Is waiting for the oill just around the corner. The old ad- ministration and anti-administration fight is likely to spring into life and the Senate is likely to have a bad hour.
 The new Municipal Code, of which so much has been said and written. and which has been considered so much by tho various committees. was put in the Senate yesterday by Senator Strother. Chairman of the Senate com-
