ZACATECAs, Mexico, April 23.-There

WAR IN HONDURAS ENDED.
1t is Probable, However, that Hostilitie'
Against Nicaragua will Soon Begin.

1t is Probable, However, that Hostilities
Against Nicaragua will Soon Begin.
PANAMA, Columbia, via Galveston,
Texas, April 24.-News has just reached
here which indicates that the revolu
ton in Honduras is at an end, and that
peace has been restored. President
Ponciano Leiva has invested General
Domingo Vasquez, Minister Of War,
with the powers usually exercised by
the Executive. General Vasquez is
really President of Honduras.
AS a result of the assistance given by
Nicaragua to herevolutionary leader,
Pollcorpo Bonilla, war; may be declared
between that Republic and Honduras
at any moment. Honduras is well SUD-
piled with wal material having lust
received an additional supply of arms.
General Luis Bogran will probably
be appointed Minister of War. Under
General Bogran's administration Gen
eral VasqueZ was sent out of Honduras
during the Presidents visit to the
United States. When Leiva succeeded
Bogran as Chief Executive he recalled
Vasquez and made him Minister of
War.
It now appears that the differences
between VasqueZ and Bogran were
patched up by the REIMBURSEMENT of
the Presidency by Leiva in favor of
Vasquez: General Bogran, being Min
lister Of War, however, will virtually
be President. Together Vasquez and
Bogran will be able to defeat Nicaragua.
A war of this kind may be over in a
few weeks. When it has ended there
will be a new election and General
Bogran will be chosen President. Po-
sitions will thus be changed, for when
Bogran becomes President he will
choose Vasquez as his Minister of War.

The policein Hull arrested adrunken
decker Saturday evening, between II.
and IL o'clock. A nab of strikers
stopped them on their way to the sta
ton. The police fought them off, and
sent for achievements. The numbers
of the strikers swelled rapidly. When
the police endorsements arrived, more
than 1000 men had gathered, armed
with stones, clubs and afew revOlvers.
The police drew their batons and, club
bing right and left, divided the mob so
that three officers with their prisoner
could proceed to the station.
After the drunken striker had been
removed the rioters charged the police
repeatedly. They were forced back by
hand to hand fighting, were divided,
and were driven into side streets where
they rallied again to the attack. At
the Drypool dock the mob tried to
storm the steamer Right. Fifty police
defended it for for forty minutes, and
then, with the aid of thirty more, put
the rioters to flight. The fighting lasted
well into this morning. Only six strlk-
ers we're arrested.
Delegates from twenty or twenty five
of the most powerful wOrklngmen's
unions in London and the provinces
met in secret session in this city last
evening to consider what measures
they should adopt in support of the
Hull strikers. 1t is said that a wide
divergence of opinion was manift sted
as to the best course of action toward
the Hull lockers, and that the meeting
broke up in confusion.

A LARGE FIRE IN HULL.
Much Loss Caused by Incendiary Strik-

LONDON, April 23.-Ten acres of tim
Der at the Victoria Dock in Hull were
set on fire today. The loss will be
more than 91OO, 600. The flames, it is
supposed, were started by striking
lockers. They have not yet been ex,
tinguished, and property valued at
FL, 900, 600 is threatened. Three other
fires, started by strikers, were quickly
put out.
The fire extended from the timber
yard and threatened to destroy the
warehouses nearby. The Citadel Hotel
was burned. All the telegraph wires
l n the district are down and the rail
way irons have been melted. Marines
and sailors from the two gunboats
anchored in the roads were sent to help
the iremen. The timber yard in which
the fire was set is owned by the Wade

COTTON KILLED BY FROST.

SAtKsoN, Miss, April 25.-From all
portions of the State comes the report
that cotton is either killed Or greatly
injured by the recent cold spell and
frost. There is time to replant, but the
great trouble is that in many sections
there is no seed. This complaint is
almost general. Recent high prices
paid for cotton seed had the effect off
causing nearly all the surplus to be
carried to market

ninety, and the injured number about
two hundred and fifty, about1Operce cent.
of them being fatally injured. One of
the greatest scenes of ~desOlation in the
devastated district is at the home of
John Mullenix in Payne county. A
large house, barns and other buildings
are completely gone, and the farm
stripped Of every vestige of fence,
crops and orchards. Mr.. Mullenix is
fatally injured. Mrs. Mullenix had
just given birth to a child and she was
carried a mile and lay all night on
~rain-soaked ground. She is alive but
will die. Her mother, Mrs. Oliver, and
her brother, Davis Oliver, were both
killed, as was her ten-year old son.

THE TRIAL OF GEORGE ALLOW
Charged with Negotiating for the Sale o
Spurious Money

POUGHKEEPsIE, N. Y, April "a In
the Court Of Sessions to-day, Judge
Guernsey presiding, the trial of George
ALLOW, not Apo, as had been previous
ly stated, for negotiating for the sale of
green goods was continued. His in
tended victims, Cassie and Hogshead
of Pennsylvania county, N. O., testified
as to receiving letters and kilograms
from the green goods men in New York
Offering 500, 900 in green goods for 81, 900
good money, and inclOsing a genuine
one dollar bill, saying that the goods
were like the bill.
The letters also contained instruc-
tions for Cassie and Hogshead to come
to Poughkeepsie and go to the New
York Hotel, where they would be met
by a man who would greet them with
the Identification pass word, which was
"Safe and sur one hundred"
They came here on February IL, and
ALLOW entered their room, eXclaiming
''Safe and sure one hundred" This,
counsellor the people argued, connected
Allow with the scheme and made him
an alder and abettor, as charged in the
indictment against him.
Hogshead was the man who shot AL
bow in the room, and he was subjected
to a rigid cross examination, all the
questions leading up to the details of
the shooting of ALLOW. He swore he
never saw the pistol with which he
shot ALLOW after puttingi it in a satchel
on the railroad while on his way here.
Both Cassie and Hogshead denied that
they were North Carolina moonshiners.
They said they came on with $3.50, with
which they calculated to get 81, 900 and
go halves. The case is still on.
