Control II, says n Consul.
WAsmNoToN. Aug. 24--The rumored pur-
chase OF Honduras by an American syndicate
grows out of the reports sent from time to time
TO the State Department by it's Consuls in that
country relative to the commercial concessions
granted to American capitalists. A New York
company called the Honduras Syndicate has tho
contract for completing tho Interoceanio Rail
road, and also concessions for founding n ma
tional bank to carry out Its fiscal policy of pay
ing OF the foreign debt OF Honduras. This COM
pany will have control Of the Custom Houses,
and no change will DO made in tho tariff laws
for I'VE years without Its consent. A company
OF Washington capitalists, known as tho Amer
lean Honduras Company, holds the concession
for the building of an electric railroad on the
Freyer system from Puerto Cortez to Truxilio.
Another company will establish a wagon road
and express line TO various points. The Amer
lean Consul, in his report to tho State Depart
ment. adds his opinion that the concessions
granted are so valuable and far reaching that
they practically mean tho control of the Govern
ment Of Honduras by Americans.
