Passenger to Honduras.

NEW YORK, Nov. THE Herald prints
the following dispatch from La Libertad
Honduras:
Honduras fired upon the American flag
this (Monday) morning. By the alleged or
ders of President VasqueZ, and by the eX-
press command of the commissioner of the
port OF Amapala, seven cannon shots were
fired after the Pacific mail steamship Costa
Rica, flying the stars and stripes, as she
steamed away, because she refused to sur
render one Of her passengers to the Hon.
duras government. United States Minister
Baker was on the Costa Rica at the time.
The passenger about whom the trouble
arose is Policarpo Bonilla, who recently led
the revolution in Honduras but was defeat
ed by Gen. VasQuez. He then fled to Mica
ragua, and with 800 hundred of his adher-
ents Joined the army of President Sacasa,
who was engaged in an attempt to quell a
rebellion. Bonilla had decided to leave
Nicaragua in order to relieve the govern
ment from all responsibility of harboring
him. He, therefore, sailed from Corinto for
Guatemala on November on the Costa
Rica.
American Minister Baker and more than
Nv other persons were his fellow passen-
gers They arrived Sunday morning at
Amapala, port of entry of Honduras, on the
Pacific coast, and at 2 o'clock in the after
noon Commander of the Port Cillila de-
manded that Capt. Dow should surrender
Bonilla.
When this request was refused a threat
was made to sink the ship, and it was as
serted that President Vasquez had given
strict orders to that effect.
An of11cial protest against the refusal to
surrender Bonilla was presented to the
captain at 6 O'Clock. and clearance papers

THE ASSOCIATED CHARITIES.
A Year I'm which Much Work of Re-
lief Was Accomplished.

The annual meeting OF the Associated
Charities will take place tonight at the
general headquarters. at Sll G street north
west.
Since the last meeting Of the board OF
managers. December 1e. 1892 the society
has experienced one OF the most successful
years in its history. .
Last winter was a hard winter and $50
calls were made at the central Office for
help. the larger portion OF which were from
colored people. The first part OF the win
ter was mild. but In the latter part Of De-
cember the weather became very cold.
many people were thrown out OF work and
dependent on charity for their support.
1t was then that the demands Increased
and ran UP at the central office as high
as five hundred in one day Many or the
subdivisions which had been established
were entirely overwhelmed and unable TO
meet the demands made upon them.
The secretary. Mr.. Emery, then sent out
visitors over the city, each TO make a can
vass of a certain district ana ascertain
how many of the applicants for charity
were worthy and many cases were found
where assistance was unnecessary, healthy
washer>yomen having dropped their work
I'm the hope OF living on aims. Such per-
sons were advised In strong terms to go
The work was begun In the fall without
any funds whatsoever, but so well did the
newspapers represent tne SITUATION, ana so
generously did the people respond that the
association was able to help the most OF
the needy throughout the city. And just
in the nick of time The Evening Star
christmas Club came TO the rescue and
rendered great relief to the children OF
destitute families In very practical way.
The secretary OF the association says that
never before in the history OF charitable
work I'm the District has so much been
done for the immediate relief OF the poor,
and during his twenty-seven years expert
ence there has never been a greater demand
for IL than during last winter. Protestants,
Catholics and Hebrews alike contributed
IN money and supplies. and four times
much was received and expended last year
as ever before In the twelve previous
years of the sssocia lions existence The
work of the winter was finished without a
debt and plans for the new campaign will
be discussed tonight, when all the reports
will be made in full. and the officers viii
be elected for the coming year.

LIKE AN EARTHQUAKE,
But Not the Kind the Government
Printing ONCE Employer Exnected.


Since the adjournment of Congress the
employees of the government printing office
have been looking for the usual wholesale
reduction of force, and yesterday for few
moments many of the employees thought the
reduction was about to be made without the
oHclal sanction of the public printer
Workmen were engaged in making repairs
TO the death trap" as the building is call
ed, when the falling of a heavy timber
caused an earthquake-sort of feeling about
the building. Persons who heard the noise
thought of the Ford's Theater disaster, and
some waited patiently to take what they
imagined would follow the noise, while
others became impatient and excited and
wanted to rush out through the nearest
opening, not stopping to see whether the
opening was window o. door
Fortunately a panic was averted, and
there was no injury sustained by any one
in the building. Concerning the anticipated
reduction In the force Public Printer Pal
mer told a Star reporter that there would
be no wholesale discharge. Owing to the
adjournment of Congress. he said. ii would
become necessary to make a reduction in
the Record force, but, he said, the furloughs
were to be so arranged that none of the
force would be out more than week or
ten days. All the speeches, he stated, had
not been received from the Capitol and he
supposed there would be about two more
issues of the Record.

As the Policy Hackers FOndly Hoped

As the Policy hackers Fondly Hoped
There Will Be IA Hearing on Thursday
The Jackson City policy shops as well as
the shops at Rosslyn are in full blast, and
many poor person are dropping their hard
earned nickels and dimes every day. On the
bridges crossing the river are TO he seen
daily men. women and children said to be
made many raids on them, and since the
wholesale raid at Jackson City, several
months ago, the policy firms have not oper-
ated so openly in this city. Many persons
have been arrested here from time to time
but every one of them denied any connec-
ton with the firms, and for that reason the
hackers could not be reached. The business
raid mentioned was made. and the hackers
thought the charges against them had been
''pigeonholed." They were resting easy
until yesterday, when District Attorney
Birney made known his intention to resur-
rect the cases and have a day for trial Sc
lected Day after tomorrow is the day set
for the hearing of the cases in Judge Nc
Comas' court, and II is likely that the
policy men will endeavor to obtain a con-
tinuance.
The parties to be tried are George Gardner
and Charles Beveridge of the firm of Gard
ner & Beve-idge, and Mayone Nelson
Ezekiel Cade and Frank Foster.
There are also a numebr of cases pending
against writers, many of whom have quit
the business. These men will not be
brought to trial, but those who are suspect
ed of being still in the business will be
brought into court, and their cases tried.

DIR. Icons CASE.
Speculation as to Whether He Will
he Indicted for ManslauShter or
Murder.

Witnesses were before the grand jury to-
day in the case of DR.. Edward Leon, the
physician charged with having performed
an operation on Miss Estelle Beach a little
more than a week ago, which resulted in
the premature birth and subsequent death
of her child AS published in The Star at
the time. the young woman, who is only
eighteen years old, lives with her father and
brother on 9th street near the river, and in
order to prevent what would cause publicity
TO her misstep in life she went, so it is
alleged, to the office of DR.. Leon on street
and there an operation was performed At
the inquest held the day following the sad
event in the young woman's career Dr.
Leon was held criminally responsible for
the death of the child, and since that time
ne has been in Jail awaiting the action of
the grand jury.
Since the holding of the inquest the police
have been on the lookout about the house
OF the young woman fearing she might he
spirited away when she had sufficiently re-
covered from the result OF the alleged GRIM
inal operation.
II was limited that her name might per-
hapS figure in the verdict But her name
was not included in the findings. Nor Is It
believed to be likely that her name will
ngure in the indictment. The police have
been keeping watch over her to insure her
attendance at the doctors trial should the
grand jury return an Indictment
Granddaughter or Murder.
! There is some speculation as to how the
grand jury will view the affair and opin-
ions differ as to whether they will indict
for manslaughter murder. 1t was stated
today that in event of an indictment be-
ing returned against the doctor it will
charge murder, as under such charge the
government will be able to get in more
| testimony than in action for man
slaughter.
Should the case come to trial the defense
Will attempt to prove an albi.
1t is the intention of the district attorney
to have the case heard at an early day
should the indictment be returned as is
expected.
