 froi Central American Coast.

Considerable annoyance has been caused lately to the United States by the action of local officers in Honduras and other Central American countries in prosecuting American citizens, and the navy de- partmens has under consideration a pan for establishing 2 patrol squadron of small vessels on the east coast to- preventf urther cutrages. The case of Pears. a resident of Pittsburg, who was killed by a Honduras soldier. is the only incident of importance affect ing the relations of that country and the United States, but the petty per- secutions are numerous.

The presence of the five gunboats will, it
