NO NEWS FROM CENTRAL AMERICA.

All Telegraphic and Mali Communication with .Salvador Cut Oft. The Department of State has as yet received no confirmation of the rumored war between Salvador and Guatemala, and there is no one on duty who has any information on the subject, writes a Washington correspondent. Since hostilities opened between the republics Guatemala has assumed a most dictatorial position, not only toward her unruly sister, but toward, the other Central American States. It is alleged at the Department of State that the reason for the apparent delinquency on the part of Minister Mizner in keeping the department properly informed is that not only are the telegraph wires cut, but that the ordinary postal facilities ' have 1 een abridged. Whether unitary espionage would be extended to diplomatic dispatches sent by an officer of a ftiendly government is not known. At all events the summary methods adopted have interfered with the heretofore easy communication between Guatemala and the United States.
