TO CONCILIATE ENGLISHMEN.

Regarding the seizure by the Honduras Govern
ment of the sixty mile railroad running from
Puerto Cortez TO San Pedro. and owned by the
Honduras syndicate. of which Senator Chauncey
NJ. Depew is president. Vice-Presdent Henry l.
Sprague denied to g Tribune reporter yesterday
that the seizure due to any violation of con-
tract on the part OF the syndicate, reported.
There has been violation of contract, he said.
THE truth Of the matter is evidently this:
Bonds by the Honduras Government two or three
years ago were issued to certain Englishmen, who
are now claiming from the government sums
amounting s1O0.0cO,0O0 The Honduras Govern
ment the Venezuelan trouble still green in It's
memory, is evidently a little timid because of these
English bondholders. This is probably the reason
they have seized railroad the seizure having
been made according to the Honduras Governments
cable to us for purposes of Cancellation. We have
over 81 900 600 interested in the railroad. however
and have entered a vigorous protest against its
action. The United States Government has ad-
vised us that ii considers have good ground
for protest. and without making any demon
stration will doubt assist in protecting our
rights. We certainly shall not allow the matter TO
rest"

ANXIOUS FOR W4RSHIPS.
Talk of Calling ont Troops to In
sure Continuance of York.

Washington June 17.-Secretary Moody had
day with Attorney General Knox, as to the rlgnt
of the government TO proceed with work on its

Galveston. at the yard of the w. r. Trigg
Shipbuildfng Company. of Richmond Va, whose
contract for the vessel the government declared

of the company. The principle involved Is re
garded as vitality important TO the navy. Inc

to appeal to the State courts Of Virginia for an
injunction stopping further work by the govern
ment on the Galveston, which 1t was INTENDED
should be launched next Monday. Rear AdmlraI
Bowles, chief constructor of the navy, mas al

ship. -,
The administration is much concerned over the
proba bilitv of delay in the completion OF the
warships under construction by the companies
of the United States Shipbuilding Company as
a result of the financial troubles of that con-
Germ The President is anxious TO ma some
means by which the government may protect
itself in case complications arise. 1t Is neneVed
that such a means has been found In the conten-
ton made by Admiral Bowles, which. II sus-
tanned by the Attorney General gives the gov
eminent the power to order federal troops TO
insure the completion of war vessel duly con-
tracted for by the government.
