A dispateh from the City of .Mexico snys; Guatemala s answer to Mexico's ultimatum was received last right, It will be present, d to the cabinet and president at Jo o'clock this uiiirnlng. It is staled that Guatemala's answ.-r is to the effect that the territory uis. puled belongs to her. and if any indemnity is to be paid Mexico owes 'it t, Guatemala. The prospects are that war will 1 declared at once. While not showing any heat overthe reply of Guatemala, the Mexican authorities hold us linn as ever to their position, and it is very generally nndcrstood that early next week an n'ti. mutual will be sent to Guatemala by the corvette Zaragoza, which will at once declare war on that republic unless it accepts the demands of Mexico in every particular. In any event, the Znrago.a, it is expected' will bear a note to Minister Godoy instructing him to request his passports from Guatemala. Should its answer be negative, he will be protected and landed on Mexican soil bv the corvette, which will then be detailed for the transportation of troops und munitions of war. The war department in this capita, is all activity. Tho entire olliee forces arc working over hours, and an unusual spirit of life and general animation is seen on every hand. The number of troop-, already on the frontier is LS.oou, and several brigades are in readiness to be pushed to the front ut a day's not icy. Throughout the republic the same activities are nottd and there is no doubt that Mexico could put .'.0,000 men on the Guatemalan frontier within a week or ten days, should occasion demand. The genera'health and equipment of the Mexican troops now in the s 'ith are very go. id. and reports from the probable seal of war are that the soldiers and otiicers nre in high spirits and anxious to push forward at the command from headquarters. mk.vico's MH.ir.i:v kstaiiushmiat. The army of Mexico'is divided into three sections the active army, tbe reserve and the general reserve. The active army consists of .infantry. 17 -307; engineers. CmT: artillery. 1.004; cavalry, .,'J; rural guards. 1,tr.o; gendarmes, -2U. Total, ST.Vll. There arc over :5,0C0 officers. A military school is maintained by the federal government nlChaptiltcpec. on the outskirts of the City of Mexico. The number attending the school is ubout .100. According to Gen. Sostencs Hochn, general of division of the Mexican army, the total fighting strength thereof, including the standing and active army and both reserves, is: Infantry, 13!'.'; dragoons, !.,7"0: artillery. :i,r.r.0. The infantry use the Kuuiiiigton rille, caliber 4H, and bayonet. The cavalry use a musket of the same make and calilnr, and the artillery carry Uemington earbines, caliber .10, which are manufactured in the country. Killed stet 1 breech-loading guns are well used Lv the artillery, as well as other new and improved guns. In the orgnnizat ion of the army, the French system, with slight modifications, is followed. The republic can hardly be said to have a navy. Its interests on the water are protected by a licet of two unarmored vessels of tr.O tons and horse-power, armed with two tiventtpounders. and three .small gunloat There ure two naval arsenals one each at Campeehe and Acapulco. At the former place and ntMnzatlan there are naval schools. The government also maintains a large lloating dock. (U'ATLMALA'S STIiK.VOTH. The urmy of Gauteninln, the cost of which is about one-tenth of the total public expenditure, consists of 3.71S officers and men. Then is, besides, a reserve militia of fi7,30o. In a war between Mexico and Guatemala, however, it ii.ust 1m; borne in mind that the other four Central American states would most probably, for self-protection, enter into an alliance with tlnur most important sister. The combined forces which the-.e four could throw into the field must, as a consequence, be taken into consideration. These would give a total of 0,300 regulars and 8 l,UT3 in the rescrre and militia. Costa nicn has an army of COO men. nnd, on u war footing, can command .5,27.t militia, as by the laws of the republic, every male between IS and :.0 may be required to serve. The active army of Honduras consists of r.00 men, while the militia numbers '20,000. Salvador has a much stronger regular army than either of these, the n cinl figures giving her -1.000 men. while the militia numbers l.l.üOO. She :in also, one customhouse cruiser. And lastly comes Nicaragua, with a regular army of L'2(KI men, a reserve of 10,00(1, and a militia or national guard of ."..(WO. The live states of Central America, therefore, can put into the field at anytime, I0.0LS regular soldiers and l.L:.7.'l militia or reserve, every man of whom has received a thorough inin tury training.
