Salvador for Uprising.
 New York, July 1s.-The Associated Press has received the following dispatch from General Davila, president of Hon. duras:
 "Tegucigalpa Honduras, July 17.-The government has put an end to the revo- lutionary movement in 10 days. The de- e.sive battle was fought at Nacaome. The enemy was defeated and escaped into Sal vador. "DAVILA.'
 San Salvador, Republic of Salvador, Monday, July 13.-The Central American court of justice at Cartago, Costa Rica, which came into existence as result of the Central American peace conference held in Washington last year, has ad- dressed a telegraphic communication to the government of Salvador which says that the government of Honduras, by tela- graph on July 10, indicted the governments of Salvador and Guatemala for protect Ing and fomenting the revolution against the government of Honduras, which was initiated in Salvador.
 Continuing, Honduras declares that neither republic had compiled with article r of the peace treaty signed at Washing ton regarding the surveillance of malcon- tents preparing for civil war. and that they had violated the neutrality enjoined by article ? of the additional convention 10 said treaty.
 Charges of Honduras.
 Furthermore, Honduras holds Salvador and Guatemala responsible for the loss of life and property resulting from the revolution, for the placing of Honduras in degrading position before the other nations and for breaking their good faith with the United States and Mexico. The Honduran government declares it has sufficient proofs to condemn the republics it denounces, and offers to forward them by wire or post, as the court may desire. Finally, Honduras desires the court to take action to prevent worse evils until judgment shall be passed.
 The court has decided that the indict- nent brought by Honduras requires in- dorsement by the presentation of proots as per article If of the convention under which the court of Jurisdiction was estab l she'd
 Nevertheless the appeal of Honduras de- hands attention without delay and in order to fix a line of action for the parties concerned, pending a final judgment, the court has resolved that according to ar ticles l, and r of the treaty of peace, and article of the additional convention, it Is the duty of Honduras, first, to indi- cate by telegraph the proofs which serve as basis for the accusation and thereafter to forward proofs by mail to Garage for reply by the accused governments, and second, that order in the meanwhile bs maintained by Guatemala and S. ador adopting the following measures, which may be modified or amplified later:
 Courts Demands.
 (a).-To abstain from all military or naval actions or any direct or indirect act implying intervention in Honduran affairs
 (b).-To place under supervision all Hon. Guran residents who are suspected of revolutionary activities or who are known tO be enemies of the Honduran govern ment.
 (c).-To suppress all military prepara- tions on their territory
 (d).-Eficiently to persecute all malcon- tents.
 te).-To disarm and place under super vision all revolutionary forces entering their territory.
 (D.-To release from the military serv- ice all Hondurans and return these men to the capital where they shall be kept under surveillance.
 (g).-The army of Salvador and the army of Guatemala to be placed, each on a peace footing each state maintain ing on its frontier a force sufficient only for effecting patrol to prevent armed men from crossing the frontier, and
 (h).-The court directs that Honduras is not to adopt a hostile attitude toward either Guatemala or Salvador. This reso- lution has been telegraphed to all the states of Central America.
 Further Charges.
 Furthermore, the court of justice ad- vises Salvador that Nicaragua on July 10, by telegraph, charged Salvador and Guatemala with instigating the Honduran revolution, giving at the same time the supposed reasons for this course of &C., tion and urging the court to take such steps as the occasion made necessary. As Nicaragua in this telegram makes no formal indictment and does not clearly specify her charge against Salvador and Guatemala the court asked Nicaragua for additional details. The court in due course, received a reply from Nicaragua declaring that the telegram of July 10 sufficed for the court to take action un- der article IS of the convention, under which the court was established. This article requires the court to fix the status quo of all the contending parties until decision has been handed down. In this matter the court resolves (a).-That neither Guatemala Salvador nor Nicaragua is to violate the neutral ity enjoined by article of the additional convention of the peace treaty signed at Washington.
 Cb).--That they suppress the rendering of all assistance to the revoutionists from their respective territories and by means of military forces placed at con- venient spots along the frontier make im- possible the supplying of the revolution ists with the implements of war. (c).-That they place under supervision all foreign residents who are suspected of favoring revolution or who are known to be enemies of the Honduran govern ment
 (d.-That they take measures against
