CHICAGO. July Dispatches from the
South have contained stories Of alleged
annoyance experienced in Honduras by
American capitallstsandm mine owners who
have attempted TO whit that Republic for
the purpose Of overseeing their property
interests. These alleged troubles have
been attributed to the unsettled condition
OF the country. due to the revolution in the
Central American States and the continu-
ance Of martial Law slice the insurrection
was put down. One story ot particularly
high coloring recently came from New
Orleans and purported to give tho details
ofseyere haTdships experienced by men
who were induced TO board vessel bound

It was legitimate mining expedition,
when II turned out to be in reality q
rebellious attempt instigated by General
Soto, late OF Honduras, nud nowiof New
York-the result being that the Americans
who embarked found the shores Of Hon
duras barricaded on their arrival, their

other indignities.
Gen. NJ. Z. Aguilera, Of the army Of
Honduras, Is at present In Chicago, and,
in m interview last evening, emphatically
pronounced this story a canard, circulated
for vicious business purposes by certain
American adyenturers. General Aguilera
states that Honduras, Guatemala, aud San
respectively under Presidents |
Bograu, Barillis and AfsnandeZ, are, since
the death Of Barrios, in the closest possi-
BILE alliance. For this reason, he declares,
a revolt against one would be virtually q
revolt against the three States, and could |
be suppressed with comparative ease. No
danger is feared on that score. Further.
more, General Aguilera asserts that the
interests Of foreigners, Ameri-
cans especially, are guarded and pro-
tected even more jealously than those Of |
native owners. The government Of Hon
duras is particularly desiIous Of securing |
foreign investments, and extends unusual
No foreigner Is subject to |
the restrictions OF martial law, although |
The regulations instituted during the |
troublous period wore still maintained as |
precautionary measures. General Aguilera
mentioned two American enterprise

nounced interruptions bugaboos.

AwxsrERs Congressman who has 'been
thar and got1eft," says this is avery sat
isiactoiy administration to do business
with, because you always know what it is
going to DO. His plan is to weigh the
matter careinlIy, but all the probabilities
together and reach aresult. You can bet
your bottom dollar that the Administra-
tioo will do the thing as far removed from
that as possible. Nowwe see why it is that
some people are misled and so fall out
with the administration. They don't
give IT credit for its ability to go a long,
long way in the opposite direction. They
have not learned to estimate Washington
distances.
