ESPITE DENIALS IT .3 BELIEVED
CLASH CANNOT NOW BE
AVERTED.
Mexico City, March 31 -Rumors of
impending general war in CVnir-1
inerlca are again current in this cap-
i:..l and despite dentil* from tin- live
Hi 1 ie republics, it. is generally believ
ed in wdl Informed circles that tho
clash cannot be averted.
A private c-ldo received here today
says Giintamala lias moved a largo
force of infantry, artillery, cavalry
to tho Honduran border. The Hon
duran minister has demanded an ex
planation of tills apparently hostile act
inti lias been informed by President
Fnbcra that the troops are being rush-
[*d eastward to check tha culmination
of the revolutionary plot hatched by
Honduran exiles on Guatamelnn tcrrl-
r.v„ having for its purpose the over
row of President Davila of Honduras
This version Is little credited here,
j] is believed that Cabrera is prepar
ing to check an invasion and that the
long expected and heruhled clash be
tween Cabrera and Zelava is about to
occur. War within ten days Is the pre
diction of the well Informed of tin*
Emigrado colony he*^\
Guatemala and Salvador will he ni-
i 'lied against Honduras and Nlc.iragui
according to these versions. All four
countries have been secretly arming,
ml are now on a war footing. Domin
ation of Ceutrul America Is to become
the issue ami Cabrera and Zelgya main
combatants.
In thi'j connection the ordering of
•100 troops southwest by the War Do-
partinent tonight Is creating much in
terest. Tlte troops left Vera Cruz i.i
a special train. Oaxaca Is given ns the
destination but tin* rumor says they
will pass through that state and on to
the Guntapinlnn border, where they
will watch developments. Tho truth
about the destination of tho soldiers
•annot bo learned tonight. The War
Department admits they have been or-
d south.

HARRIMAN TALKS
OF TARIFF REFORM
8AY3 HE H/^S NEVER SPOKEN
BITTERLY AGAINST EX PRES
IDENT ROOSEVELT.
Chicago, March 31.-^-Edward II. Har-
timan arrived from California tonight
apparently In good nealtli and ready
to talk on all subjects.
On tariff reform Mr. Harrlinan said:
"If the government had revised tho
tariff or given tfto country n good cur
rency luw. or both, we would not have
had the Hindis decision, and we would
have had all this wasteful prose
cution of corporations, nor all of this
hostile legislation against railroads
and the country would today be going
long swimmingly.
"I havo been quoted" he continued
'as speaking harshly against tho gov-
irnment and our former President for
having prosecuted me and the Inter
ests which I represent. 1 have never
spoken bitterly regarding him, and I
have no critislcm to make. The prose
cutions wero all rlgTit, for there I*
nothing about the railroad which 1
represent that I desire conceal. Every
move I havo mado has been known to
the govrnment and wo havo tried to
obey tho law. 1 harbor no resentment
toward the government oF toward any
individual.”
On combination* of railroads, Mr.
Hurrimun said:
"I am for combination where econ
omy demands them-and Where the best
service require* them. Iwould not have
the combination of parallel or compe
ting lines permitted without restraint.
