New ORLEANS, March u There is'
no truth in the special dispatches
to the effec. that the Honduran
government will surrender Maj. f. A .,
Burke, the defaulting state treasurer.
1t may be stated that the Louisiana
authorities have no information on
the subject and that there ia
no foundation for the story, other
than the knowledge that Major Burke
has been represented as taking an
active part in tie defense of the gov.
eminent, and as the revolutionists
were succe sui, the conclusion has
been jumped at that the now existing
government would be quite willing to
punish Burke for any service he may
have rendered the former government
by surrendering him TO The state aG.-
thOrities of Louisiana. No recent
effort has been made to secure Burke's
extradition.

BRAZIL,
DA GAMA's CUsToDIANs.


RIO DE JANEIRo, March 2l.-The
Portuguese warships were allowed to
leave this harbor under the stipula-
ton, imposed by the Brazilian gov
eminent that Admiral Da Cana, and
the insurgent officers and men who
are with him, should remain on board
the Portuguese ships until the ques-
ton OF heir ultimate destination has
been settled between the govern.
ments. The international feature of
the complication arising from the
revolt AID subsequent surrender of
the Brazilian warships in these waters
is assuming a grave aspect. There is
considerable excitement here in re-
gard to the action of the Portuguese
naval officers who have so far pro-
tected him and the insurgents who
are with him. 1t Is feared that the
action of the Portuguese in givlI &
shelter 10 the rebels will lead to dan.
geTous mplcations. This is all the
more likely as il appears that Presi-
dent PeixOto has obtained possession
of important documents which show
beyond doubt that certain European
vessels systematically gave aid to the
insurgents.

town has been in turmoil today. a
special session of the city council was
called this morning to consider the
threatened invasion by the army of
the unemployed from the West, of
which General Frey is the advance
agent. The general himself was prt-
sent to give lis side of The matter to
the council, and after his speech the
mayor said he considered General
Frey tramp and had him crested
for vagrancy. The council discussed
the matter at length and finally
authorized the mayor to issue the fol-
lowing proclamation:
The so-called industrial army, mum.
boring between 900 and 1000 men, will
reach FL Paso tonight. These men
have robbed and plundered the
people in the line of their march. 1t
is now necessary that the citizens OF
FL Paso shall unite for the protection
of their property and their families.
This can only be done. by prompt and
united action.
TO that end, and by virtue of the
authority vested in me as mayor of

The mayor also wired the rangers
to come up from Ysleta and asked
Governor Hogg to request the war

In answer to this the governor re-
piled: "Replying to your telegram
you are assured that Texas is fully
a0le to arrest, prosecute and punish
| General Frey and his whole industrial
army if they rob or plumber your peo-
pie or otherwise violate the penal
code, and she will not call on the fed

Thay Meet at Birmingham to Discuss Their
Return to Africa.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, March 21.-Two
thousand representative negroes from
every part of Alabama were in at.
tendance here today upon the state
convention of negroes recently called
by Rev. j. Warner and others to con-
siier the question of emigration to
Africa. The depressed condition
of the race and the fact
that they were making no pro-
gress was discussed. 1t was the
sense of the meeting that Africa being
the natural home of the negroes, those
in this country should return to that
continent as soon as possible and es
tablish there a great nation, such as
the whites had established in America.
1t was agreed, however, that as the
white man had brought the negroes
to America, he ought to pay their fare
back to their native land. Reso.
lutions to that effect were passed. 1t
was resolved TO urge upon all negroes
in America to take similar action.
Bishop Turner of Georgia was present
and advocated emigration. PropCs 81 p
tons have already been received from
steamship lines to transport the
negroes from New Orleans or Savan-
nah as soon as they are ready tC go.
