SANCHEZ CAPTURED AND SHOT.
Rebels Defeated in Honduras and the
Revolution Is at an End.

hcfoiutiOn Is AT an End.
TEGUcIGALPA. Nov. 17.-General
Longinos Sanchez, who headed the
recent attempt to overthrow the Gov
eminent OF President Bogran, and who
with his forces held this city for the
brief period OF one week, has been capt.
ured and. with the principal leaders of
his army, shot. The revolution is at
an end. After Fridays fighting it was
foregone conclusion that this
would be the end. Sanchez's troops
had been defeated in series of bloody
engagements, and he, with the brief re-
mainder, were penned up in San Fran
cisco barracks. surrounded by vigil
liant force flushed with victory. Presi-
dent Bogran Friday night had stationed
number of cannon about the barracks
and early Saturday morning he opened
fire Sanchez and his imprisoned COM
rades, knowing that death awaited
them in any event. fought with all
the desperate courage of despair, but it
was hopeless struggle from the start.
After brief cannonading the walls of
the barracks were almost completely
battered down. There was a deter
mined charge by Bogran's soldiers, a
brief but desperate handto-hand
fight, and then all that remained
alive of the rebels we're prisoners
Without the formality of a court-mar-
tiai Sanchez, with several of the princi-
pal officers engaged in the revolt, were
taken to one of the principal squares in
the city, blindfolded, and stood in line
in the presence of hundreds of the citi-
zens. A firing party was told off. The
doomed men were given brief time
for prayer, then the word was
given, there was a crash of musketry,
and the revolution of Longinos Sanchez
passed into history. Sanchez and his
men met their fate without fiinching.
The bodies of the dead rebels were
exposed to the public gaze all day
as warning to future asprants
to the Presidential chair who de-
sire to get supreme power by force of
arms.
Sanchez was not popular with the cit
liens of Tegucigalpa, and the sympa-
thies Of the people were altogether with
Bogran; hence, though nearly every
body was grieving over the
death or wounding of some rela-
tive or friend, there was general
rejoicing over the signal victory of the
Government forces General Sanchez

Two of the members of President
Bogran's Cabinet to be shot One of

b. . glorious king Is the King no. pay

Oh, glorious king is the King To-Day
Though he often brings sorrow;
But the king who brings us only delight.
Whose mornings and evenings are always bright
And Who keeps Heavens beauty always in sight.
Is the beautiful King Tomorrow.
In his bright reign all debts are paid;
The ghosts of all crimes and plumbers laid;
The penniless one can borrow:
No shadows darken hts shining track,
No burdens rest on the toil-worn back
No clouds hang over grim and black,
In the glorious reign Of To-Murrow
We never have seen his beautiful face,
We never have felt his limitless grace;
But VIC quickly forget all sorrow
When his splendid visions OF freedom from care
And Joy and happiness everywhere
And all things pure and bright and fair,
We see in the blest To Morrow.
