The Matter Laid Before Secretary Ores
ham and Discussed In the Cabinet Meet

The Matter Laid Before Secretary Gres-
ham and Discussed In the Cabinet Meet
ing.
WAsHNGroN, November 7.-Tnior-
nation received at the State Depart
ment is to the effect that United States
Minister Baker, az Nicaragua, Costa
Pica and Salvador, boarded the steamer
Costa Ricu, an American ship, at Cor
rinta for Salvador. The ship entered
the port of Amabala, In Honduras, aud
while there the authorities of that
government demanded of the captain
the surrender of Barilla, cities Of
Honduras was passenger on the ship
on his way 20 GuaJauala. Barilla, II Is
understood, had been engaged 10 some
iusurreCtiOnary movement in Honduras
for which a criminal charge is pending.
After the ship received her clearance
papers and while she was leaving port
six or seven shots we're fred, whether
directly at her, or In front Of her is
not clear.
The Secretary or State was at the
cabinet meeting when the dispatch
from Minister Baker arrived, aud 10
was taken over 10 him there. The pro-
lOnged session of the cabinet up 10
o'clock gave time for consideration o.:
the subject, and it was probably dis
cussed.
Captain Dow, in command OF the
Costa Rica, is the same captain who
harbored Burrunda several years ago,
who was killed on his ship while the
attempt was being made 60 fOrclbly re-
move him by the government, in whose
waters the ship lay.
II has been established that a pOliti-
cal refugee, who is passenger as Bor-
lila was, cannot be taken from the ship
which he is on. The chance presence
OF the United States minister on tho
'u this case is not considered 70
any difference in the diplomatic
asue>.s Of the case. Nothing could be
learned az the department of what re-
ply was sent to Minister Baker or what
steps it is proposed 10 take ia the mat
ter. II would ordinarily be expected
be expected that under the cIrcum-
stances that an earnest protest would
be lodged with the Honduras govern
meut.
The incident was discussed in the
Navy Department. The Alliance sailed
yesterday from San Jose TO Acajutla, in
Salvador Whether this movement is
occas.0ned by the incident was not
stated at the department.
Po.icarpo Barilla, the passenger who
was the occasion of the present trouble.
recently led revolution against the
Honduras government, but was de-
feated by General NaIasQCez. He
seems to have taken refuge In Nicara-
qua after the failure Of the revolution,
and 10 is said was leaving that country
at this time TO avoid involving its gov
eminent ia his difficulty.

NEW YORK, November THE Her
AIDS La Liberia, Honduras dispatch
SAYS: Honduras fired upon the Ameri-
can flag this morning. BY the alleged
orders of President VasQuez, and by the
express command of the commissioner
OF the port of Amapala, seven cannon
shots were fred after the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company's steamer, lying
the stars aud stripes, as she steamed
away, because she refused to surrender
one OF her passengers 10 the Hon
duras government. The passenger
about whom the trouble arose Is
POlicarpo Bouilla, who recently led the
revolution ia Honduras, but WAS de-
feated by Gen. VasQuez. American
Minister Baker and other persons were
his fellow passengers. They arrived
yesterday az Amapala, port OF entry
Of Honduras, on the Pacific coast ano
ia the afternoon Commander OF Port
Villala demanded thar Captain Dow
should surrender BOnilla. When this
request was refused a threat was made
20 sink the ship and il was aScertained
that President VasQueZ had given strict
orders TO that effect. An official pro-
test against the refusal to surrender
Bohilla was presented to the Captain
atG o'clock, aud clearance papers were
only issued TO the ships after nighttall,
when IL was TOO dark 70 leave the har-
Dor with safety.
A government officer came on board
at hall past 3 this morning, saying that
new orders had been received from the
President insisting on the delivery Of
BonHla. Capt Dow replied that the
commander OF the port would receive
his answer in half an hour, but before
that time had expired he steamed
away. Seven shots were fired after the
Costa Rica. although she flew the
American flag. None of the shots
struck her, however, but it is feared
the Steam Ship City Of Panama, OF the
same line, which was lying within the
port. may have been injured, because
the firing continued for some time after
the Costa Rica was out of range.

. ACCIDENTAL DEATHS.
Caused by Carelessness.

The majority of people die sooner than
they should. Evidence of this fact is grow
ing daily. Waring says: Disease is not a
consequence of life; it is due to unnatural
conditions of iving-neglect, abuse, want"
DR.. Stephen Smith, on the same subject.
Man is born to health and long life; dis.
ease is unnatural, death, except from old
age, is accidental, and both are preventable
by human agencies" This is almost invari-
nbly true of death resulting from heart dis
ease. Careless over-exertion, incorporate
use of tea, coffee, tobacco, alcoholic or other
stimulants are generally the causes of this
difficulty, and Indifference to its progress res
suits in sudden death, or long sickness end
ing in death. By the newspapers it can be
seen that many prominent and hundreds Of
persons in private life die from heart dis.
ease every day.
If you have any of the following symp.
toms: shortness of breath, palpitation, irreg.
ular pulse, fainting and smothering spells.
pain in shoulder, side, or arm, swollen
ankles, etc., begin treatment Immediately for
heart disease. Ifyou delay, the consequences
may be serious.
For over 20 years DR.. Franklin Miles,
the eminent specialist, has made profound
study OF heart disease, its causes and cure,
and many of the leading discoveries in that
direction are due to him. His New Heart
Cure is absolutely the only reliable remedy
for the cure of heart disease, as is proved
by thousands of testimonials from grateful
persons who have used it.
James A. Pain, editor Of the Cory, Pa, Leader,
| states: After an apparent recovery from three
months of Ia grippe, fell OH the street uncon-
scious from heart disease. In one month from
| that time was unable to walk across nv room.
