WAR COMING in is DAYS.
Struggle for Supremacy in Central
America at Hand.

San Salvador, July 17.-An armed
clash, which. ii is believed, will in
volve all Central America, probably
will occur within Is days. 1t is ex-
pected that the first battle will be
between Salvador and Nicaragua.
Gen. Lee Christmas, the American,
who was wounded In the recent war
between Nicaragua and Honduras,
has been appointed general in COM
mand of Salvadorean regiment Gen.
Chamorro is expected from Guatemala
on the next ship Upon his arrival he
will proclaim himself provisional pres
ident of Nicaragua.
Mexico City, july 17.-Off1cial and
diplomatic circles in this capital were
greatly excited tuesday by the report
that great outbreak of hostilities in
Central America was likely 10 occur
within the next Is days. The news
reached here from Salvador in the
form of cable dispatch.
1t is thought that the much-heralded
struggle for SUPREMACY in Central
America is about to be waged and
Zelaya, of Nicaragua, and Cabrera, of
Guatemala, will he the real antagon-
lists, the other Central American states
involved being merely pawns to be
used by the two men who seek mas.
terry over all Central America.
According to the wording of the
cable dispatch it appears probable
that Salvador, & atemala and certain
forces in Honduras have united to
fight Nicaragua nd drive Zelaya from
the presidential! chair Of the country.

HARTMAN RAILWAY: DICTATOR
Interstate Commerce Commission Re
port Reveals His Vast Powers.

Washington, July 15.-That E.
II. Hartman is practically the alb
solute dictator of the railroad situa-
ton in the western half of the United
States is. shown by the long expected
report of the interstate commerce
commission, made public Saturday.
The report shows that Hartman
has -grasped the control of all but one
of the great transcontinental rail-
roads, and how he is reaching out to
secure a. hold in lines reaching to the
Atlantic seaboard and to the gulf. It
shows. how his mastery extends to
every Pacific ocean steamship line and
to the coastwise traffic on the Atlantic
and Pacific from Panama north. 1t
criticises his methods and denounces
his policy.
But after showing these things the
report stops short of radical recon-
mendations. 1t does not, as was ex.
pected it would, urge an attack in the
courts against the merger of the
Union and Southern Pacifics. It does
not recommend legal or criminal pro-
ceedings of any kind.
The report recommends that rail-
roads should not be permitted to in
vest in the securities of other rail.
road and steamship lines and that
some restriction be placed on the is.
Buance of securities by railroads.
Mr.. Hartman has been spurred into
q quick and heated reply. In an inter-
view telegraphed here from New
York, he declares the report is piece
Of politics and full of glazing inaccu-
racies.

from a San Francisco man, in which he
the latter presents a plan, which he
claims will turn the sandy and dusty
deserts of Nevada into green prairies.
He intends to plant lippia. a plant grown
in a dry portion of Northern Africa.
which he says has been planted on
deserts In California and has fourished
without water, except the occasional
rainfalls. He states hat il has short
roots and grows close to the ground.
giving the appearance Of a newly
moved lawn. Many Goldfeld people
are thinking of experimenting with this
grass, as it now costs a fortune to raise
a lawn in the southern mining country.
