ORDERED TO HONDURAS
CARIBBEAN SEA SQUADRON TO PRO-
TECT AMERICAN INTERESTS.
Admiral Coghlan and His Ships to
Sail at Once from San Juan for
Puerto Cortez and Ceiba.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-The Carib-
bean squadron under command of Admiral
Coghlan has been ordered to Honduras.
where the revolution Is assuming serious
proportions to protect American interests.
Late this afternoon acting Secretary of the
Navy Darling sent the following cable in
structions to Admiral Coghlan at San Juan:
Proceed with squadron, Olympia. Pan
ther, Marietta Vixen and Brutus (collier)
for protection of American interests at
Puerto Cortez and Ceiba. Honduras. Com
municate with minister. Leave Vixen
Ctender) under commandant at San Juan"
The Navy Department decided to send
Admiral Coghlan to Honduras on the the
ory that a flag officer present on the scene
would be in a position TO take such steps
as may be necessary for the protection of
American interests without constant refer
ence to the department here. The presence
of a squadron instead of a single ship, il
was thought. also would have salutary
effect.
The action of the Navy Department was
based on a dispatch received at the State
Department to-day from William &. Wilt,
United States vice consul at Ceiba, an
nouncing that Ceiba had been captured by
the revolutionary forces, and suggesting
that a United States warship be sent 10
Honduras waters. The dispatch bore the
date of March II. A request has also come
for similar protection from the United
States vice consul at Puerto Cortez.

for the Government.

Judge Anderson, of the United States
Court, will decide the contempt case in
which William w. Watts and d. A Sachs.
Louisville attorneys, are defendants, this
morning at 10 o'clock The evidence was
all in and argument in the case finished
yesterday evening. 1t had been expected
that the court would give a decision last
night, but at the close of the days pro-
ceedings Judge Anderson asked for some
records that he would like to look over. and
said he would give his decision this morn
ing.
The evidence taken yesterday was given
by witnesses called by the government,
chiefly in rebuttal. One witness was Fred
erick Ruoff, watchman at the M. Zier
plant in New Albany. He was called to
contradict the statement of d. A. Sachs
that he did not visit the plant after Kelso
had been appointed receiver. The witness
told of seeing Sachs there in company with
Kelso. Another witness was William Ruoff
deputy clerk of the Floyd county Circuit
Court who testified as to certain entries
made in the court record at New Albany
A third witness was Edgar Martin, dep
uty clerk of the Floyd Circuit Court Miss
Bertha L. Scott, stenographer in the office
of Charles Kelso, one of the receivers of
the Zier plant was also a witness. She
said that when Mr.. Kelso dictated the
order ousting the New Albany Trust Com
pany as receiver. d. A. Sachs was in the
office and offered suggestions as to draft
ing the order.

HIS ACCOUNTS MUDDLED
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF BARTLETT
SINCLAIR AT MANILA.
Treasurer of Rixal Province Who Was
Charged with Permitting PecuIa-
tion-Friar Lands Too High.

MANILA, March 13.-Bartlett Sinclair,
treasurer of Rizal province, attempted to
commit suicide to-day by taking poison in
the Office of the attorney general when in
formed that the government intended to
prosecute him for neglecting his office and
permitting the peculation of funds Sim
clair's books were found to be in mud
died state. The authorities had been in
vestigating for months a shortage of sew
eral thousands, but ii is not believed that
Sinclair embezzled any money. Four of his
subordinates have been arrested on the
charge of embezzlement.
AS the result of his capture in Rial prov
ince Jose Javier, an irrec0ncilable and al
legged head of the new Katipunan, is being
tried for treason and sedition. Domingo
Dakay, the former head of the Katipunan,
and others testified that Javier acted as
minister of foreign affairs" in the alleged
government maintained by the irrecon-
cilables The testimony does not show that
Javier contributed money or supplies to the
irrecopcilables or bore arms against the
government.
The government forces have been engaged
in another ladrone drive in Rizal province,
and have arrested number of bandits
after couple of skirmishes. San Miguel,
the irreconcilable leader who Is hiding in
the mountains, has sent a message to Gen.
Allen asking for the terms on which he may
surrender but the general declined TO make
any terms.
There is possibility that the negotiations
for the purchase IF the friar lands by the
government may fail because of the ex-
cessive prices asked by the religious orders
and commercial corporations interested
with the orders. Some of the estimates of
value submitted to Governor Taft and
Archbishop Guidi show the prices to be
double the figures at which the land was
offered for private sale last year The gov
ernment Is anxious to purchase the lands,
but is not willing to pay excessive amounts
for them.
