THE REVOLUTION IN HoNnuns.x
Rebel. A,.::, .:s ,.,., q. .lo''


New York, April IL = Herald cor
respondent in Tegu, .galp, the capital
of Honduras. confirms the report that
there is serious revolution in Hon
duras and that martial law has ha0s
proclaimed Rebels attack
ured the towns of Pue-
the gulf of Honduras, and EsDeranZa,
on the Aqua river, on the night of April
-. According to all reports so far, the
rebels still hold these places, in spite
of efforts TO dislodge them. President
Bonilla has received offers of assist
ance from the governments of Guate-
mala, Salvador and Nicaragua in sup
pressing the revolution, though as yet
il has not been decided whether or not
IL will be necessary 10 call upon them.
The government is confident of its pow
er to put an end to the uprising.
The president has taken radical steps
i'm the matter, and i'm addition TO pro-
claiming martial law throughout the
country. he has issued orders for big
army To prepare TO move at once
against the rebels. Part Of this army
will probably go TO Puerto Cortez, as
soon as practicable, to try TO wrest
the seaport town from the revolution
lists. Former Minister Arias and sever
al members Of congress have been ar
rested as leaders of the rebel move
ment and are now i'm prison. A rev.
olution in Honduras against President
Bonilla has been long expected owing
to growing discomfort among the OPP
position party, and it may lead to seri-
Gus results i'm other states of the Great
er Republic of Central America. This,
it is almost certain, will be the case
if President Bonllla accepts the aid eX-
tended to him by Guatemala, Nicarau-
| qua and Salvador.
The moment this assistance Is ac-
! cepted, the leaders out of power in
those states will take advantage OF the
| circumstances to force a rebellion to
try to overthrow the existing govern
| ments and themselves regain power.
| Knowing this, it seems probable that
President Bonila will not accept out
side aid unless absolutely compelled to
do So Though Guatemala is not in the
| Greater Republic, she will be forced tn
lend moral and material aid TO Presl-
dent Bonilla. owing TO the relations
\ between the two republics Guate-
mala is i'm a very unsettled condition
now. and only the exposition has pre-
vented a civil war before this.

ulars To Retreat into Greek Territory
Further Fighting Useless Murder.
Larissa, April Copyrighted, 1897,
by the Associated Press. l-Severe
fighting has occurred in Macedonia be-
tween the Greek irregulars and Turk
ish forces. The column of irregulars
sent to the right from Pitgavitan, after
having invested and captured Sitovon,
continued its advance towards Kri-
tudes, Plisia and Kourduzi with orders
to hold Kourduzi at all costs, as it
commands the right approach to Gre
vena, the objective point. This column,
commanded 10y Chiefs Zermos and LueZ-
20, attacked Kritudes on Tuesday. The
place was defended by two companies
of Turks. After a severe fight during
which eighty Turks were killed and
twenty were taken prisoners, the posi-
ton was captured by the Greeks, who
also obtained possession of $50 rifles
and a quantity of cartridges. The in
surgents, however, have suffered Sc
we're check in another direction. A
strong force of Turkish troops from
Mecovon, with a number of mountain
guns, advanced on Krania, which had
previously been captured by the
Greeks, and attacked the 400 irregulars
of Greece who occupied an entrenched
position. 1t is reported that the fight
ing was ferocious on both sides.
Compelled to Retreat.
The insurgents eventually were com
peeled to retreat north to the mount
aims. Some OF them, however, sue
ceeded in breaking through the Turk
| ish lines and escaped To Baltino, the
town lust across the frontier, in Mace

regulars and used by them as a depot
! for provisions and ammunition. the
accounts given by the refugees of the
Turkish losses are believed to be eX-
aggerated They say that 265 Turks
were killed while the irregulars only
had eight men killed and seventeen
wounded The leader of the Greeks
