ACCUSED THE GOVERNMENT.
A Lively Session of the French
Chamber of Deputies.

PARIS, June 29.-In the Chamber of Dep
uties today, M. Pinchon questioned the gov
ernment concerning letter from journal
ist named Woestyne to M. Meyer. who was
recently sentenced to imprisonment for con-
nection with the Credit Mobilier frauds, sug-
gesting the forging of documents implicat-
ing the government In those frauds. He
asked whether that was the only attempt
made in this case to discredit the Republi-
cans.
M. Thevenot, minister of justice, replied
that ten letters were seized in Meyers house
and their contents testified to the shameless
ness of the Boulanger party.
M. de Cassagnac declared that the letters
were police forgeries.
M. Thevenot answered this charge by say
ing that Meyer had admitted that the letters
were genuine. He also mentioned the name
of an anti-Republican leader who had Wis
tied him.
Here there was violent interruption by
the Right, and M. de Cassagnac, in an ex-
cited manner, accused M. Thevenot of being
Meyers accomplice. This led to another
uproar. M. de Cassagnac was censured Iby
the President and expelled from the Cham
Der. Many members OF the Right followed
him out, while the Left cheered the Presi-
dents decision.
Mr.. Thevenot announced that it was the
intention. Of the government to prosecute
the offenders. III
Then M. Hewissee, on behalf of the Bou-
langists and M. Cazanove on behalf of the
R0yalists, having denounced the intrigues,
the Chamber, without a dissenting voice
asked the government to adopt measures for

night and equally ldirect testimony against

NOT AFRAID or THE LIONS ROAR.
A British Scheme TO Seize the island
Of Ruatan
which the President OF Honduras
Promptly CIrcumvented.
One Version OF Recent Troubles In
the Bay islands.

NEW ORLEANS, June 3O-The latest infor-
nation respecting the recent trouble In tine
Bay Islands, is brought by the City Of Dal-
las from Belize. Three vessels arrived at
Belize from Ruatan, crowded with foreigners
who reported the islands to be In a state Of
extreme disquietude. OF thirty men and
women who emigrated TO Spanish Honduras
from Belize. fifteen we're declared conspira-
tors and dIsturbers Of the public peace on
June 7th.
Gen. Lopez, Governor Of Ruatan, issued
an order to arrest them at all hazards,
wherever found. The explanation Of this
action reveals pretty little British plot to
grasp position In the Caribbean. menaeing
not only the independence OF the Central
American republics, but also the position Of
the United States In regard to them. At a
dinner to Capt Dugmore in Ruatan, reference
was made to the possible seizure of the Bay
Islands by Great Britain. This reference was
favorably received by the English colonlsts.
Senior Lopez naturally considered this man
Hesitation seditious. This accounted for the
capture Of Capt Dugmore Of the Rosallnd.
He arrived In Belize from Ruatan on June
10th, and reports that while sleeping on the
Islands he awoke and found himself sur
rounded by an armed guard. They threat
ened to shoot him II gun was fred from the
Rosalind.
He was then conducted to the vessel, the
Honduranian gunboat firing a royal salute OF
twenty-one guns, and the Rosalind returning
the compliment.
All the British inhabitants Of the islands
fled to the mainland, having been charged
with conspiracy against the government Of
President BoZeau.
1t Is said that private information received
at Tegucigalpa. the capital OF Honduras,
from secret agent In London, warned the
government that Captain Dugmore was act
ing under orders from the British Admiralty
to extend the British seizure Of territory on
the coast to these fertile islands.
In the event Of the completion OF the Mic
aragua Canal Ruatan will occupy an import
ant strategic naval position, and would also
give England needed coaling station. The
move was to be made under cover Of a local
c0mmotion, to be stirred up by the English
''emigrants" sent from Belize for the pur-
pose.
This beautiful little scheme was nipped In
the bud by the prompt and vigorous action
OF President BOZeau and his truSty lieuten-
ant, Governor Lopez. The doughty Dug
more was conducted to his ship with Castil-
lian courtesy and his grasping compatriots
urgently invited to take themselves OF.
[Ruatan is the principal Of the Bay Islands
which are dependencies Of the Central Amer
lean Republic Of Honduras. TIE Islands
were formerly owned by Great Britain and
ceded TO Honduras by that power.
