Some time has elapsed since have had the oppor,u
nifty to writs you, during which time many things hav
transpred which you would be glad TO have aiA before
your readers and although some may be rather OLD,
shall proceed TO give you few Of the most impor
tant.
The hst the between tho States of Honduras aud
Guatemala about TO be renewed with vgor on the
part Of Guatemala General Carrera having already
tined the authorities OF omoa and Truxillo that thea
ports in state Of siege, and that he will soon pa
them visit with his army This, II carried out, wiz

The mahogany cutting sstabllshmont at lImas has
been resuscatsd, and will bs prosecuted with renewed
vgor hereafter The cuttings there and the Patoek
are by AMI under tho grant Of the Mosquito King
Nearly all the cuttings which have been carried undsr
grants from the State OF Honduras have been,
TO be suspended the parties who have Tor cut
wood under these grants that State and there haa
been, and will not be- any diculy In continuing 20 cut

quality am OF the opinion that secret or hidden
has brought about this suspension am strength
eued this opinion by the fact that all these rivers

nuc the work Ihoss who have cut there have pad to
the government OF HondG ten dollars for each tree,
hesdss duty on ta- arera consumed or used by
the gangs there. Ihr result Of this suspension WILL in
my opinion, bo thiswhen these cattings resumed,
It win be under grants from the State OF GuAicmaia.
Many strong reasons might be given TO Atrength.
en this opinion. Your readers are well aware that
the most amiable and boat Of feeling exists
between that state and the English government, the
