which placed them almost directly under
the rifles of a detachment Of British ma
rtnes who occupied the upper yersnda Of
the custom house. and also opposite to and
within 600 yards range Of the six-inch
6reechloaders and rapid-fire guns OF the
Comus.
Gen. Metuta, after a parley with the
young lieutenant In command Of The Brit
tsh marines. was allowed to pass with
some of his aids, to the headquarters of
Lieut.. Baker of the Alert. There he stated
ne had come with authority from Gen. Bo-
mia, vice president Of Honduras and COM
mander of the Honduranean allies of Pres
,dent Ielaya of Nicaragua, 20 occupy Co
rlnto and to relieve the foreign marines
from protecting the property of the Gov
eminent of Nicaragua, etc.
II was not then known in Corinto what
great crimes the Honduranean spl1iers had
committed on women and girls at FL Fayjo,
nor was 1t known that they had destroyed
great deal of property while occupying
that place during the past two months
however, Lieut.. Baker signalad for Com
mander Hanford and Capt Dyke. who
soon arrived at the custom house. Tor an
nour or SO they patiently listened to Metu-
las buster. but when he threatened to &C.
cupy Cointo without waiting sor President
Zelaya's orders, although the latter was
only about thirty miles away the Ameri
can ana British commanders decided to
teach Inc Hendaraneans lesson.
Force Displayed.
p
American and British marines. fully armed
and equipped, were drawn up at their diff
ferent stations ashore, the Alert was sig
nailed to steam up to and opposite the GUS
tom house. and the Conus cleared for ac-
ton. These preparations had a calming eff
feet upon Gen. Metuta. and ne began to
apologize as energe-ically as he had at first
attempted to bluff. His soldiers were quar-
tered in the telegraph offices at the norih-
west corner of the custom house square.
"A train at about pm. arrived at Co
rinto, bringing about sixty Nicaraguan SOL
diers under Gen. Emelio Herrera, with Il
letter from Gen. Aurelius Estra il, a close
personal friead of President Zeaya, and
commander general Of the civil depart ment
of the republic. The letter was addressed
to the United States consul at corinto,
notifying him that Gen. H .errera had been
appointed communicate at Corinto, ard as
sUrinS him and the commanders Of the
United States and British ~arahips that
Corinto might be turned over 10 Herrera
with safety as the cepfa sentative of the
legal SOY ernment of Nicaragua.
Thanked by ZeIaya.
Gen. Bonilla, vice president of Honduras,
also reached Corinto by the :ame train,
and at a conference with Commander Fan
fcrd. Capt. Dyke and Gen. Herrera, az olo-
gized for the conduct of Cen Metuta
Terms were agreed upon, and at about s
o'clock in the morning of May 4, Corinto
was turned over to the Nicaras ian force
When President Zelaya was informed of
the occurrence, he at once tele graphei his
approval To the American legation at Man
aqua. with his thanks, and later ielesrd pr l.
ed an invitation 20 Commander Hauford
and Capt Dyke and heir officers to visit
Managua. and enjoy the hospitality of the
government of Nicaragua.

There are some interesting notes in the
Listeners mail today. This one records a
most curious thing about Bird
Dear Listener: Did you ever see anything
so queer as robin trying to feed its own
reflection on window glass? That sight
has been going on at my hoase in Dor
chester for a day or two. The poor deceived
bird gets worm in its bill and then runs
up to basement window. where It has
seen its reflection. and there taps, taps,
taps at the glass. trying to feed its shadow.
l had heard strange noises in the base
ment, and had begun to think the house
haunted as at first I could not ascertain
the cause Of the sharp sounds. like tapping
on natal. but finally discovered the robin
at its puzZling attempts to feed q ghost.

loaded with baggage and tent poles and
crowded with women and children, slowly
made its way around the water front and
set out on a gallop for the mesa by way of

three horses abreast, aroused the interest

surly mixture of Spanish and English.

come to California overland through Mex

Now, a great party Of Braziliaps, desti-

Sixteen large ragged tents were pitched
