this brig 70 take steam from Havana Our President
fGuardola refed to give Mr. Tucker his exequator un
less he would prove the signature and seal upon his
mission Of which affected TO be Ignorant and he
objeeted hat the United States should have notified the
government Of Honduras by special courier Of the in

CLAIMS against them that may occur-to have famiies-
10 be without arms OF any kind-and, finally beyond the
reach Of suspicion believe the United States have
treaty with u.s. that violated in letter and spirit by this
decree To explain, while Guardola was seeking power
and travelling towards Comoyagua from the coast, he
stopped at small rancho very much fatgued and hun

discharged that the contents passed longtudinaly
through the body He then turned TO the wife, saying
''You have time 10 cook for me- such is the msn
we have to rule over US and speak no evil N publishing
that which is well established When, after his drunken
feast he 1ured for his companions, whom he missed
when sobered he told that they had been shot by
his orders, he replied "An II is wen; they were poor
