has broken out and that the republic is
now under martial law. Minister Rodriguez,
the minister of the Greater Republic of

telegram regarding the reported uprising.
There are two parties in Honduras as there
are in the two other republic of the Great
er Republic of Central America-the Liber-
ais and the Conservatives. AT present the
Liberals are in the supremacy in Honduras,
having regained power by the overthrow
of President Vauquez. The present execu-
tive is President Bonilla. The government
of Honduras is much less stable than that
OF the other two countries. There is al
ways great deal of social and political
agitation there owing to the rivalry OF the
opposing leaders. but it is usually kept
under cover until revolution breaks out.

was overthrown three years ago, may be

lies i'm the confederation may aid in re-

SCHEME OF SPANIARDS
GENERAL WEYLER SEEKING THE
ARREST OF THE CUBAN JUNTO.
Julio SandOvaFs Mission to This COun-
The .Butcher's" Latest Orders.

PHILADELPHIA, April Is. - private
meeting of Cubans and Cuban sympathiZers
was held in this city tonight, at which 1t
was decided to take steps to Illustrate what
the Cubans claim is the real object OF
Major Julio Sandovals visit to this city.
This is said to be the arrest OF no less
persons than the members of the Cuban
Junta in this country. 1t has been stated
that Major Sandoval came 10 Philadelphia
to purchase munitions Of war, to be shipped
in the regular way to General Weyler, in
Cuba. Leading Cubans. however. assert
that it is TO gather information that will
eliminate in the arrest of General Estrada
Palma, at New York and General Quesada,
a Washington. The former is the minis
ter of the so-called Cuban republic and the
latter charge d'affaireS at the capital. 1t
is asserted that Major Sandoval has been
commissioned by General WeyleT for this
express purpose, and is known to have in
his possession documents found on the
steamer Laurada on one of her recent trips
to Cuba, showing the part played by Gener-
ais Palma and QueSada in her movements.
Should the arrest of the Junta leaders re-
suit and the issue be made i'm court as
to the liability of such a body there will be
a question OF jurisdiction that will not only
involve the interstate-commerce laws, but
also the questions OF belliSerency and the
customs OF comfy OF nations.

of laughter issuing from a garden inclosed
by high walls. The gate open and
peeped in. My curiosity was awarded by
one of the sweetest sights | ever witnessed.
About twenty little Dutch maids ard lads
their ages varying from three to six years
were enjoying a game of ordinary Ameri-

twelve years stood by. busiy knitting

they all fell in line behind the little knitter
and walked demurely, two by two. in a
serpentine line around the garden and dis

Roosevelt's Good Qualities.


Mr. Roosevelt's career of two years here
has justified the accurate and yet friendly
estimate OF his qualities which was made
when he was nominated by Mayor Strong
a member of the Police Commission. He
has maintained the respect of all those with
whom he had earlier political associations
here and he has gained n large measure of
esteem from others who did not know him
when he TaS active in politics IN New
York dozen years ago.
His courage his thorough belief in fair
play his steadfast convictions, his charm
ing social qualities. and a certain gameness
and willingness to give tribute to oppo-
nents who fight fair and hard. are quail
ties for which he has gained an esteem
which must be of more value to him than
any political honors.
At the same time il has been felt that
Mt Roosevelt. perhaps because he pos
sesses Just these qualities, does lack a GER
the open. never n strategist. He has the
qualities that would make a great fighting
commander but perhaps poor dlplomatist.
He is not arbitrary and dominating as has
been asserted. and yet he has full conf
dence in himself and firn belief in his
right always TO assert that confidence.
Those are qualities which may not serve
to the best advantage for leadership Of a
political party, and Ii is safe 10 saw that
while Mr.. Roosevelt aS n man and as a
citizen is esteemed as highly as any who
is n dweller i'm New York yet xhe belief
field than in that OF practical politics Some
OF his friends wonder if he does not himself
feel this, and is not now assured that his
greater talents are such as would make
him pre-eminent in the field of applied lit
erature in which he has already gained
enyiable repute, and for this reason he has
been willing 10 accept subordinate post

GONE TO THE BOTTOM.
The Ship Samnria and Crew Sunk i'm
the Pacific During a storm.

SAN FRANCISCO. April 15.-The impress
siCn that the American ship Samaria, from
Seattle, for San Francisco, has gone to the
bottom grows stronger day by day. as no
tidngs come from the overdue vessel. The
Alcade, which left Seattle simultaneously
with the Samaria. arrived in this port on
April 2. The Alcade's master says that on
March % he encountered a terrible south
east gale and. after being in company with
the Samaria four days the vessels uninten-
tionally separated. The Samaria was laden
so deep in the water that the seas broke
over her ard she wallowed badly in The
trough of the sea. The Alcade had hard
work saving herself and only escaped from
the fury of the storm by throwing out oil
bags, which moderated the force of the sea
Immediately about her. On the following
day the weather moderated. but there was
no sign OF the Samaria. Much wreckage
was drifting about. ontangled i'll which the
Alcade's officers saw a set of ships steps
and a corpse. The Alcade's captain is con-
fdent that the Samaria and all her crew
are at the bottom of the sea.

enforcement of a state law. lie declared
and cited authorities TO show that any
form of relief that could be asked OF a
state court by citizen Of the State could
be asked of the Federal Court by ctti-
zen or another state. lie also cited the
fact that in this circuit the. enforcement
of certain city ordinances had been en-
joined and held that the same doctrine
would apply TO state laws.
The rest OF MS argument was devoted 10
the contention that this law was special
class legislation lie admitted that il Is
competent for the Legislature TO pass laws
either for the benefit or restriction of GER
tain classes OF people or corporations, but
that II could not constitutionally enact d
law applying TO one corporation In one
the same class all over the State Thus
he cited the mechanics lien Iaws as valid
men. mechanics and material men, but
they must apply 10 all mechanics and all
material men IN the State. Further, ii was
laws regulating the denvery OF freight by
railroads. but II could not make these laws
apply to a single railroad ana exempt
Others from their operation. He declared
that the law was also obnoxious 10 the
fourtet nth amendment of the federal Con-
stitIItio7 requiring equal protection of the
law for all citizens. This he held applied
10 cor pcfations as well as To persons.
Referring again to the constitutional point
that IL was In violation or contract, he
said: We say that this law violates our
contract with the city and with the State
because our contract was made under the
general law and our money spent upon this
basis We had right 10 rely upon this as
a permanent enactment. Now, while leav-
ing the rights of all other street-railroad
corporations 10 be adjusted under this
general law, they endeavor to control ours
by this special enactment. The general
law stands affecting everybody but US. -
Mr.. Miller closed with the contention that
Sections and of the law confiicted with
the Constitution of the State in its provf-
sion that the Legislature cannot pass spe-
cial laws for the punishment CT felonies
and misdemeanors.
MIR. Winter followed Mr.. Miller with a.
comparatively brief but pointed argument,
devoting his attention almost entirely to
the point in the State Constitution that all
laws must be of uniform operation
throughout the State. He showed that the
State Constitution of Kansas contained
this same provision. and quoted a number
of decisions of Justice Brewer. now of the
Supreme Bench, made when he cir
cult judge, overthrowing a number of laws
that had attempted to exempt certain 10
calitieS from their operation. The drift of
these decisions was that where there is
already general statute and the Legis-
lature seeks TO modify IL by special en-
actment affecting but one locality class.
this anne ndatory act will not stand be-
cause the Constitution requires that all
general laws shall be of uniform operation
throughout the State. Mr.. Winter made
the point that this law also violates the
constitutional provision preventing the
granting OF special privileges or irlmuni-
ties to persons or corporations, and i'm sup
port of this quoted decisions from Illinois
and Wisconsin.
