0EE1N UfltAu WIN NNouAbAy oNtNN Aa"N
Repnbllc-The Purpose IL TO Collect BY
Force Interest ON Ionduran Bonds.
wAsnINGroN, April 30-The news
received from London Monday with
regard TO the intentions Of Great Brit
ain in Honduras added 10 the confusion
OF the administration. II was hardly
expected that the British government
would follow up its success in Nicara-
qua by so prompt an intimation of its
purpose in other Central American
states.
The purpose Of the British govern
ment to collect by force the interest
on Honduran bonds negotiated in Eng
land is evidently part OF project TO
extend British influence over Central
America, just as II was originally ex-
tended over Egypt
The present trouble between Hon.
duras and Great Britain had its origin
in is6s, when British company was
granted concession 10 construct
railroad from Puerto Cortez TO the Bay
Of Fodseca, distance Of 2i0 miles
The work was begun and sixty miles
Of the road completed. Then $50, ,oOO, 900
worth Of bonds were sold and opera
tions abandoned.
Since that time the government OF
Honduras has repeatedly attempted to
reach an arrangement with the bond
holders, so as TO complete the road In
the meantime the enormous debt has
been a bar TO the country's advance
ment and the government has been un-
able 10 even pay the interest
The sixty miles Of road are now oper-
ated by W. S. Valentine, Of New York,
who hopes TO complete the road TO the
Pacific
A large portion OF the whole COM
merce Of Honduras Is with the United
States, the imports from this country
for 1891 amounting 10 81, ,l59. sol, and In
1893. sGs4,0i2 The exports TO Hon
duras were in 1891, sS40, ,o2i, and In 1898,
S47i,G
The programme, 1t is intimated, will
be the occupation Of the ports Of Hon
duras until the PRINCIPAL and interest
In arrears shall have been collected
through the medium OF du ties on i'm
ports. The amount Of the Honduras
bonds held in London is so great ant
the revenues OF the republic from i'm
ports Is so comparatively small that al
occupation Of the ports Of the republic
until the amount is collected will al
most certainly be permanent.
Senator Lodge says Of this plan Il
collect interest: ''our government
ought 10 make II clearly understood
and ought TO inform England in tn
most unmistakable terms, that NJ
; Egyption business will be allowed ol
this continent, and there must be nj
seizure Of territory anywhere on thi
hemisphere"
The uncovering Of the Britisl
r policy of aggression just at thi
time when the Cleveland admin
a istration has unhampered eontrc
= of the foreign relations OF the Unite
+ States is looked upon by Senators Mo-
gan and Lodge as a most important d.
velopment, and the possibilities OF tn
next few months before a new col
It grcss can be in Washington to supe
sede the actions OF the administratio
d are looked upon as alarming.

PRISONERS REVOLT.
Three Hundred Of Them Are
Crowded Into Fifty Cells,
And Riot Was the Result-Fire Hose and
Clubs Were Freely Used TO Quen It
Five Prisoners aud -Four OF the
Onlcers Were Injured.

ST. LOUIS, April 2o.-Riot, bloodshed
and serious attempt TO break for lib
erty occurred at 10 o'clock Sunday
night in the city Jail. The state board
Of health has forbidden the removal OF
condemned prisoners TO the peniten-
tiary, owing TO the appearance OF
smallpox in the jail, and forty-seven
cells in the institution are undergoing
repairs This forces 300 prisoners into
fifty cells
Discomfort over this has been breed
ing, and Saturday night at 10 o'clock
Il broke into violence. Five Negro
women in one cell abused the guards
until the hose was turned on them,
when they became so violent that the
three guards attempted to remove
them from their third-tier cells TO a
dungeon.
The moment their door was opened
they sprang upon the guards like wild
cats and chased the men down stairs.
Three officers came TO the rescue and
managed to get the women down 10
the ground floor court when the fight
was renewed.
BY this time every prisoner added
his voice TO the din. Fanny Dowdy,
one of the Negresses. had a weapon
made Of tin can and knocked Officer
Dixon completely out with II.
Seven condemned Negro men in one
cell In some way got loose and came &c
the aid Of the women. The Dowdy
woman had secured Dixon's pistol, anC
was just on the point Of shooting wher
Detective Seigler dealt her blow with
his fist that settled her.
| by this time the reserve force wa
on hand and clubs were freely used
The noisy panic was contagious, anC
such an uproar was never before hear'
in the Jail By the free use Of twenty
five night clubs and the fire hose tn
riot was quelled and the rioters Sc
cured. Five prisoners and four off
GERS are injured.

at late hour. The three days given
10 Nicaragua 10 make reply having ex-
pired at midnight Friday, the British
forces at once took possession OF the
town.
The garrison at Corinto, which con-
sisted OF small force OF $50 or 200
men, was withdrawn 10 the interior,
leaving the British In peaceable pos
session OF the town. No opposition
was made TO their landing. but II is
stated by those familiar with the
Nicaraguan people that any attempt
on the part Of the British forces to
penetrate TO the interior, or, in short,
70 leave the environments Of Corinto,
will be resisted by Nicaragua. Great
excitement Is reported TO exist not
only at Corinto and Managua, but
throughout the entire republic.

rAgua will not pay the $4,000 indem-
nifty demanded by Great Britain.

Nicaragua Failed to Keep Her Agreement

LONDON April 2o.--The United
States attempted TO adjust the pending
dispute between Great Britain and
Nicaragua. Ambassador Dayard, act
ing under instructions from Wash

eign Office that Nicaragua, II given
two weeks additional time from the
expiration OF the three days fixed In

Britaih's demand for the payment Of
ESQ indemnity for the expulsion Of
Pro-Consul Hatch. Lord Kimberly
acceded to this, and, as II was pre-
sumed that the state department at
Washington was acting for Nicaragua,
II was thought that the incident would
be closed without further complica-
tions But as Nicaragua refused at
the last moment 10 acquiesce In this
arrangement, the original plan Of oc-
cupying Corinto was carried out 1t Is
now believed here that Nicaragua Sc
cured the Intervention Of the United
