TROUBLE FOR HONDURAS
FIRED UPON THE STARS AND
STRIPES.
A Vessel Flying the American Flag
and Upon which United States Min
lister Baker Is Aboard Fired Upon
tn Honduras.

New York, Nov. THE Herald's La
Libertad, Honduras, special says: Hon
duras fred upon the American flag this
morning BY the alleged orders of Presi-
dent Vasquez, and by the express COM
mand of the commissioner of the port of
Amahla, several shots were fred after
the Pacific Mail steamer Costa Rica, fly
ing the stars and stripes, as she steamed
away, because she refused to surrender
one of her passengers to the Honduras
government
United States Minister Baker was on
botrd the Costa Rica at the time. The
passenger about whom the trouble arose
is +. BoDilla, who recently led the rcyo
luton in Honduras, but was defeated by
Gen. Vasquez. He fled to Nicaragua
and with 300 of his adherents Joined the
army of President Sarcassa, who was en-
gagged in IN attempt to quell n revolu-
ton. Bonilla had decided TO leave Mica
ragua in order to relieve the govern
NETT from all responsibility of harboring
them. He therefore sailed from Mica
ragua for Guatemala. Minister Baker
md 100 other passengers were his fellow
passengers.
They arrived yesterday at Amapala,
port of entry of Honduras on the Pa
cifc coast. In the afternoon the COM
m7nder of the port, Villa, demanded that
Cart. Dow should surrender Bonilla.
When the request was refused, a threat
was made to sink the ship, and it was
asserted that President Vasquez had
given orders to that effect. Villa. in
censed at the refusal to surrender Bonil-
Ia, gave the order to fire on the ship
after nightfall, when it was too dark to
leave with safety.
A government officer came on board at
$50 this morning, saying that new orders
had been received from the president in
sisting on the delivery of BonillG or the
bombardment of the ship. Capt. Dow re-
piled that the commander of the port
would receive his answer in half an hour,
but before that time expired he sailed
away.
Several shots were fred after the
Costa Rica, although carrying the Amer
ican flag. One of the shots struck her,
doing no damage, but it is feared that
the s. S. Gala, of the same line, which
was lying in port, may have been in
jured, for the firing continued some
time after the essel was out of range.
