MORE NEWS FROM GEN. WALKER.
The New Orleans Piesyune has the following des-
patch
SOUTHWEST Pass, Aug 2S-The schooner Dew Drop,
from the Ruaan Islands, arrived at the bar this MORN
| iUg
This arrival puts in possession of further particulars
regarding the capture Of the town Of Truxilo Honduras
| By Gen. Walker aud his small army Of 90 men.
The fight more serious and bloody than was pre-
yiously reported. There 2 Spanish Americans kill
ed and Is wounded, while the Walker side only
ceived slight injuries.
Gen Walker was still 10 possession Of Truxlo. lie has
declared himself in favor Of Cabanas and issued proc
/ amaiion TO that effect.
The Delta publishes the proclamation, which is fol-
lows:
To the People Of Honduras:
More than five years ago l. with others, invited
to the republic of Nicaragua and promised certain
rights aud privileges the condition Of certain services
rendered the State. We performed the services requr
ed Of u.s. but the existing authorities Of Honduras joined
a combination to drive US from Central America.
In the Of the people Of the Bay Islands
find themselves in nearly the position the Ameri
cans held in Nicaragua in November, 1855. The
policy which led Guardiola to make us will in
duce him drive the people Of the Islands from Hondu
ras knowledge of the feet has led certain residents
of the Islands call the adopted citizens Of Mica
ragua for aid 10 the maintenace OF their rights Of per-
| son aud property.
But no sooner had few adopted citizens of Nicara-
qua answered this call Of the residents Of the Island by
|
daras alarmed for their safety, put obstacles in the
OF carrying out the treaty Of the 2Sh OF November 1859
Guardioa delays receive the Islands because Of the
presence of a few he has injured and thus for par
" purposes not only eopards the territorial interests Of
Honduras but thwarts for the moment cardinal ect
| of Central American policy.
The people OF the Bay Islands can be engrafted on
your republic only by wise concessions properly made
The existing authorities of Honduras have, by their past
acts given proof that they would make the requisite
concessions The same policy which Guardola pursued
towards the naturaized Nicaraguans prevents him from
pursuing the only by which Honduras can expect
TO hold the islands.
It becomes therefore, common object with the natu-
rallied Nicaraguans aud with the people Of the Bay
Islands TO place in the government Of Honduras those
who will yield the rights lawfully required in the two
States. Thus the Nicaraguans will a TO
their adopted country and the Bay islanders will obtain
full guarantees from the sovereignty under which they
be placed by the treaty Of the goth of NOVem-
/ Der, 1883
To obtain, however the object at which we aim, we do
make against the people OF Honduras but only
against which stands in the way of the in-
teress only Of Honduras but OF all Central America
The people of Honduras may therefore, rely on all the
protection they may require for their rights both of per-
son and property. WIN WALKER.
