Army Being Massed on Frontier and Men Pressed Into Service.
San Francisco, March 7.—A number of coffee planters who have just arrived here from Guatemala on the steamer Colon, state that the war preparations in that country are still going on. The entire army of Guatemala is massed on the frontier of Salvador. Every able bodied man is being pressed into service as soldiers.
Alexander Cousin, the father-in-law of President Zelaya of Nicaragua, was a passenger on the Colon. In speaking of the situation in Nicaragua, he said:
"President Zelaya is in sympathy with Sierra of Honduras and before I left two bodies of men numbering 200 in all, were sent to join the forces of Sierra. In the trouble existing between Guatemala and Salvador President Zelaya is in sympathy with the latter republic. He has massed his troops along the frontier in anticipation of trouble."
