With a High Hand.

Soldiers Who Entered the Country
to Aid BOnilla Refuse to Leave.
New Orleans, March 27.-There may be
another revolution in Spanish Honduras
in short time. This evening, the City
OF Dsllas reached this city from Belize,
bringing a number of passengers, among
them several Hondureans. 1t seems that
the people are dissatisfied with Gen.
Bonila and Nicara uans will take ahand
in ousting the political rulers of the gov
ernment. When the recent revolution
was melted, Nicaragua aided and
abetted and supplied Gen. Bonilla
with men from that country, pro-
visions, arms, ammunition and money.
Their OF. ect in doing this was to gain a
solid foothold in Honduras, and, in
short time, 10 control the small country.
About two weeks ago. Gen. Bonilla or
dered the Nicaraguan soldiers 10 go to
their country, as the revolution was at an
end but they did not seem anxious TO do
so. This was probably the cause of the
trouble, and the natives and foreigners
there are very much opposed to Gen.
Bonilla, as they claim he is unjust and
oyertaxes the people.
THE STORY OF AN AMERICAN
When the vessel arrived a Southern
Associated Press representative went
aboard and conversed with the passen-
gers, who did not seem disposed to talk.
j. W. Har eY, an American, who has been
in Honduras Tor the past few years, was
aboard. He knows every foot of the
country and WAS, up to the time of his de-
parture, connected with the railroad of
ex-President asquez, which runs from
/ eguclgdlpa to san Pedro. MIR. Har-
vey in speaking. said that he was
forced TO leave thee country because he
volunteered TO transport eX-President
Nasquel and Maj e. A. Burke from Tegu-
cigalpa Just after the termination of the
re olution. MIR. Harvey says that about
fifteen or sixteen days ago eX-EreSident
Vasquez and Maj. Burke were anxious to
leave Tegucigalpa, for they feared that
They would be executed.
AN ENGINEER FAILS THEM.
Their only hope was a train When it
was time for them TO start, Mr.. Harvey,
who was the conductor of the train
learned that the engineer, who was favor
able to Gen. BOnilla refused TO make TIE
trip. 1t was impossible to get an en-
g.neer, and Mr. Harvey to save the two
men from almost certain death, decided
to run the train TO its destination. He
made the trip and landed Messrs.
Burke and VasqueL safe at
San Pedro From there ex-President
Vasquez and Maj Burke, hurried to
Puerto Cortez and procured mules and
eventually reached San Salvador. MIR.
Harvey took sail boat and went to
Guatemala, and thence to Belize, wnere
he intended to sail to Vera Cruz, and de
cided TO come TO the United States.
Mr.. Harvey says Mai Burke is in bad
health. From what he understands, MIR.
Harvey believes that Mai Burke will re-
main in San Salvador for some time, and
will, in a bout six months, return to Hon
duras.
EXECUTIONS BY WHOLESALE.
Gen. Bonilla has ordered the execution
of a mum Der of soldiers of ex-President
Vasques's since the end of the trouble.
Already a dozen or twenty have been shot
