The seizure of rilles aboard thu steamer tXhma by the Guatemalan government govern-ment has been a constant theniu of conversation here today. Many believe be-lieve that owing to tlie fact that thu sebmru was madu leforu hostilities had occurred and before the Central American compact was signed, the United States will ask Guatemala for an explanation of her conduct I.atcr advices give further details of thu seizure, that thu numltr of rilles seized was two hundred, and that they had been ordered from San Francisco iefore any revolutionary revolu-tionary movement had broken out in Sail Salvador.
