WAR IN HONDURAS.
ChoIuteca Captured by BOrrilia'H Ar
nny-A Forced Loan.

New York, January s. The Herald t
Managua, Nicaragua, cable says:
The town of Choluteca, in Honduras. was
captured Thursday at noon by General
BorrilIa's army, aided by Nicaraguan
troops General Williams and several
other officers were taken prisoners i'll this
engagement and many men wounded. The
invaders will march at once upon Teguci-
galpa, which is the largest and finest city
in Honduras.
Borila has chosen the following cabinet
members of the provisional government,
OF which he has himself assumed the presl-
dency: Minister of foreign affairs. Caesar
Borrilla: interior, Angel Arias; finance,
Miguel DaVela: war Manuel Borna.
Another Managua, Nicaragua, special
has this account: The town of ChOluteca
was taken by storm yesterday. General
NiIle!a made a heroic defense. The loss
in killed and wounded is said to have been
$50 men. NilieIa reiterated to A'Lhnch,
where a battle was begun with the van
guard Of the invaders, who hourly expect
ed reinfOrcemenUS.
General ORTIZ Jordiz, commanding the
NicaraSuan forces, has been ordered to
await the Honduran attack, and if made
to Immediately invade their country. The
government has levied a forced loan Of
$3oo,00O on the merchants.

No Place to Fight.
Jacksonville, Fla. January 5.-The Duval
Athletic Club ran against another snag to-
day in Sheriff Broward, of this county. The
club has been claiming all along that des-
pite Governor MitchelPs opposition, the
fight would occur in Jacksonville, because
the officials of the city and county would
not interfere as long as the courts mad not
passed on the Florida law in regard to the
prize fight. Sheriff Broward today in ain
interview with the Southern Associated
Press correspondent declared that the club
people are mistaken if they. thought that ne
would stand quietly by and allow the hght
to occur in DuVal county.
The Governor SIN Determined.
Governor Mitchell is as determined as
ever, as the following telegram today to
the Florida conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church. in session at Palatka,
shows:
Tallahassee. Fla, January 5.-Rev. J. c.
Sale and 7. w.. Tomkies Committee:
J.
felt thanks for the resolution passed by
that body denOuncing the brutal Corbett-
Mitchell prize fight. | shall endeaVor to
do my duty in the premises. .
III. L. MITCHELL, Governor of Florida
1t is needless to say that this telegram
was heartily cheered by the ministers
May Fight on Anastmsia Island.
1t was reported today that the club
would probably select AnastaSia island. OPP
posite St Augustine, where Mitchell is now
training, as the seat of the contest, This
island in ST. Johns county, and the
amended articles Of agreement provide
that the contest shall occur In either st.
Johns or Duval county. The belief that
the place for the contamination Of the con-
test Is Streng thened by the fact that Judge
NJ r. Cooper, who presides over the judi
cial circuit in which the island is located.
Mitchelrs wishes in regard to the fight;
In an interview Judge Cooper is quoted
as saying, THAT should the club people
decide to have the contest In this est.
ell order me to take action, | should ask
for information authorizing the same, az
at present L know of no law of the state
prohibiting glove contests"
Charley Does Not Like 1t.
Charley Mitchell is very angry over the
fact that several southern newspapers have
accused him of showing the white
feather" in not signing the amended articles
when first presented. The pugilst asserts
that he is wildly anxious to meet Corbett.
but as he has family, he does not pro-
pose to violate the laws of the state and
get himself in trouble. He further says
that he is sorry now that he did sign, and
that if he had a chance he would take his
name from the agreement.
He stated positively that he would sign
nothing more.

NEARLY $4,000, 900.
That Is the Excess Above ,he Legal Require
ments,

NEW YORK, January 6.--The New York
FinaI4cier says this week: The bank state
ment of averages issued by the New ork
clearing house for the week ending January
9Th, which is for only five days of actual
business shows the enormous increase IN
Che deposit liabilities Of $2,0S6, 500, making the
aggregate net deposits of the clearing house
banks $51S, 524, GOO. The amount of actual
cash held against these deposits is Sill, G13, 400
In specie and $1O2 $54, 900 in legal tenders,
making a total of $213, 427, 800, or an average
of over Al per cent. This reserve is unpre-
cedented in the banking annals of the city.
The increase in the cash for the five days
amounts to Sc, 003, 300 of which $4,757000 is in
specie and 81, GAG, 200 is in legal tenders. The
gain to the banks from subtreaSury opera
tons is about 000,O00, and the balance or
increase is from the west. Small shipments
have been made to the south for account of
sugar purchases, but that section is now
: ll.ay!2g less from here than fer several
. weeks past. The report of the United
State, treasurer shows that the totai
amount of money of all kinds in circulation
on January LIST, is 81, 729, DIS, 266 and when it
is considered that more than one-third of it
is deposited in Ga banks in this city and one
eighth of it is actually lying idle in the
vaults of these banks, it no longer appears
wonderful that the country is IL a critical
condition In fact the study of these fig
ures only increases the general alarm which
the stagnation of business has generated.
Loans during the past week have been eX-
panded $1,000 700, but this increase is due
to stock exchange interests, and not to ner-
camille business. The failures in this coun-
try for the past week were nearly one nun
bred greater than they were for the same
period one year ago, and the aggregate
loans of the banks is very nearly $lo0,O0000o
less than the deposits. The changes brought
about an increase in the reserve Of $2,9Sl,5 500,
making the reserve over legal requirements
$50 1q6 go
