STOP PAYMENTS.
That Was the Order That Flashed to
New York

WV LII
NEW YORK, April 15.-An order was re-
ceived at the sub-treasury here to-day
suspending the issue OF gold certificates IN
acco dance with the provisions Of the act of
Congress, Gaiy Il. 1889, which SAYS that
when the gold coin or bullion held in the
treasury for the redemption of United
States notes falls below 500, coo. 900 the issue
of certificates shall cease. The gold certifi-
Gates in common use are those Issued under
the act of July u. 1882.
The acting Assistant Treasurer in charge
of the sub-trea5ury said: This stop on
the part of the Secretary of the Treas
ury simply means the carrying out of
the provisions of the law. It does not
mean that the Government will re-
ceive deposits Of gold coin and refuse to
pay back in kind. ANY one who deposits
gold coin here will receive legal-tender
notes. In other words. instead of Issuing
for gold deposits certificate, which is nee
essarily redeemable in gold, the treasury
will issue legal-tender notes. for which gold
will always be paid, If demanded"
The only difference which the stopping of
these certificates makes is that the Treasury
Department will not issue them for gold as
it has been DING. The Secretary is merely
anticipating the withdrawal of gold, which
will probably be made for shipment for
next Tuesdays German steamer. There is
no reason for unea>iness because of the
step taken by the department. 1t Is the
first time the issue OF certificates has been
suspended, because it is the first time the
reserve has nearly reached the 500, O00. GOO
point, with immediate exports expected.
Under a previous act the issue was sus-
pended by Secretary Sherman in 1879.
The Wall-street Journals Washington
special says: While Carlisle is very reti-
cent regarding what he proposes to do
should the exports of gold continue, the
opinion is expressed by treasury officials
very close to the Secretary that no bonds
will be issued at present whether the gold
balance is reduced below the hundred mil
lions or not. 1t is understood that consid-
erabe pressure is being brought to bear on
the Secretary for the issue of bonds.
The weekly bank statement shows: Re-
serve. increase. $1,000. COO; specie, decrease,
$4,000. The banks now hold S11, ,073, 600 in
excess of legal requirements.

HOLDING THE COAST.
ReyolutiOnistS Said to Be in Con-
troll of Honduras.
Vasquez Is Dead, the President Has
Surrendered and BoniIIa Is in
Complete Control.
Special to THE MoRN1Se CALL

NEW ORLEANS, April 15.-The steamship
Albert Dumois, from Ceiba, Honduras, ar
rived to-day. From those on board it is
learned that the entire coast of Honduras,
with the exception of Puerto COrtes, is in
the hands of the revolutionists, The change
was RAPIDLY accomplished aud with little
blo0dshed, the revolution seemingly having
public support.
When the Damnis reached Ceiba it was
few days after the capture, and the officers
were very much surprised to have new men
in new uniforms come aboard and transact
the necessary business.
General Fran cisco Guerrero had returned
from exile. assumed command OF the revo-
lutionary troops at Ceiba. and captured the
Notifications after desperate struggle of
three bours.
The commaHdaat, Colonel Purillia, made
n gallant defense and was shot in the arm
before lie surrendered. He and all the
others who desired to get away were given
full opportunity to leave the country, and
he arrived here on the Dumois.
Outside of Ceiba, the revolutionists have
captured Truxillo. Tela and Ruatan islands.
The revolutionists have made no attempt
to take Puerto Ccrtes as yet.
1t is reported that BOgran and Leiya, two
ex-Presldents. are at Puerto Cortes endeav-
oTing TO get out of the country, and the
revolu;ionists do not intend TO hinder them.
Very little news from the interior could
be obtained at Ceiba. as the wires were
down. 1t is said. however, that there was
n battle ten days ago in front of Tegui-
galpa, General VasQuez commanding the
Government troops and Generals Bonilla
and Sierra leading the revolutionists. and
that the regulars were forced back into the
country.
Vasquez is said TO be surrounded in the
capital and the war is presumably near an
end.
The Boetin. Liberal paper. which the
revolutionists established at Ceib,, in its
issue of April 8, prints the rumor that DR..
AguerO, in charge of the Presidency, had
capitulated at Tegucigalpa. aud that Vas
quez was killed in decisive battle and
Bonilla was in complete control.

Foreign Affairs. The treaty, it is said, was
signed some time last month and immedt-
ately forwarded to Washington. 1t is be-
lleved that 1T was sent to the Senate this
week and IS now in the possession of that
body awaiting ratification.

LONDON, April ia celebrated will case
came up in the Probate Court to-day. In

sci asked for an attachment against her for
