Refused to Surrender Passenger Who

LA LIBERTAD, Nov. Honduras
fred upon the American flag Monday
morning. By the alleged orders of
President Vasquez and by the express
command of the commissioners of the
port of Amapala seven cannon shots
were fired after the Pacific Mail steam
ship Costa Rica, flying the stars and
stripes, as she steamed away because
she refused to surrender one of her pas
sengers to the Honduras government.
United States Minister Baker was on
the Costa Rica at the time.
The passenger about whom the trou-
BILE arose is Policarpo Bonilla, who re-
Gently led the revolution in Honduras,
but was defeated by General Vasquez.
He then fed to Nicaragua, and with
300 of his adherents joined the army of
a.. President Sacasa, who was engaged in
an attempt to quell rebellion. Bonil-
la had decided to leave Nicaragua in
order to relieve the government of all
responsibility of harboring him. He
therefore sailed from Corinto for Guat-
emala on Nov. on the Costa Raca.
American Minister Baker and more
than 100 other persons were his fellow
passengers. They arrived Sunday morn
ing at Amapala. port of entry of Hon
duras, on the Pacific coast, and at Q
o'clock in the afternoon Commander of
the Port Cilhla demanded that Cap
tain Dow should surrender Bonilla.
When this request was refused a
threat was made to sink the ship, and
it was asserted that President Vasques
had given strict orders TO that effect.
An official protest against the refusal
to surrender Bonilla was presented to
the captain at o'clock, and clearance
papers were issued to the ship after
nightfall, when it was too dark to leave
the narbor with safety.
A government officer came on board
at $3.50 o'clock Monday morning and
stated that new orders had been re-
ceived from the president. insisting on
the delivery of Bonilla or the lombard
ment of the ship. Captain Dow replied
that the commander of the port would
receive Ills answer III udll du AOuli Uul
before that time had expired he steamed
away.
Seven shots were fred after the
Costa Rica, although she flew the. Amer
ican flag. Noue of the shots struck
her, however, but it is feared the
steamship City of Panama of the same
line, which was lying in the port, may
have been injured, because the firing
continued for some time after the
Costa Rica was out of range. The con
gress of Honduras has declared wal
upon Nicaragua whenever revolution
or any invasion of revolutionists from
that Republic occurs.

GOGEBIC.

The following information concern
ing the derivations and meaning of the
word Gogebic has been obtained from
Hon. Jos. H. Steere, of Sault Ste.
Marie:
The county of Gogebic was named
from a large lake in that territory
called lake Agogebic." Explorers
and land lockers came to speak OF the
region around the lake as the "Gogebic
Country" and the name was naturally
and famliary assumed when the ter.
ritory thus known was organized into q
county.
The name spelled and pronounced
is an anglicised and corrupted Indian
word OF uncertain meaning and origin,
No such word can be found in any
Indian dictionary or vocabulary. But
"Gagogebic" is On Indian word mean
ing athe root under which the por
/ cupine hidesv--the 3nest or home o.

THE COLORADO.

The fact that considerable areas of
Che Colorado Desert, so called, were
susceptible OF reclamation by use OF the
water from the Colorado river and
from other sources has more than once
been pointed out in these columns.
That fact has been known to q few for
many years, and noted pioneer OF the
state, DIR. NJ. Woven, spent many years
in fruitless effort to:persuade congress
to undertake that reclamation on a
large scale. Unhappilv, however, lie
encountered the ignorance and
obstinacy of men in nowise acquainted
with the desirability of such enterprise,
and consequently he went to his grave
without securing the fruition OF his
hopes.
A proof of the feasibility of this
scheme of reclamation wa' afforded
during the past season, when the ex-
ceptionally heavy rains caused the
water OF the Colorado to attain a
higher point than it had been known
for years. The banks Of the river to the
west were in consequence overlooked
and the water spread to depth Of two
or three feet for no less than forty
miles or more on the desert. This
water has lsince subs,dcd, and ii
consequence of the thorough satura
ton of the soil there has sprung up
heavy growth Of grasses, which afford
pasthrnge to cattle and sheep driver
across the desert from Arizona, ant
which are an unfailing index to TIN
fertility of the soil. 1t is demonstrate
in I'M indisputable manner that If til
Colorado is suitably diverted and pre-
perly handled, many thousand acres
desert may be made productive in th
highest degree.
All that is necessary is the enterpris
which shall embark in COMPREHENSIVE
systcm OF reclamation. That a
abundant rewared awaits the geniu
who shall undertake and carry such
scheme TO perfection DO one doub
who il at oil conversant with the situ'
