AN INSULT TO ENGLAND
British Consul in Honduras Seized
and Compelled to Give
Up 100000.

New York Sun Special Service.
New Orleans, April 8.-Dr. w. W. Os-
good, a physician of Cleveland who re-
turned from long visit" in Spanish Hon
duras on the steamship Olympia, brings
the news of a sensational outrage perpe
trated on the British consul at Teguci-
galpa by President Ar1as. DR.. Osgood
believes England will take action, beyond
a doubt, when the facts are brought to
her attention.
According to his story, British Consul
Campbell of the banking firm Of De Soto
& Campbell, is said to be held by the
Sierra forces; that his commission as con-
sui from Great Britain has been ignored,
practically spat upon, and Mr.. Campbell
forced to contribute 100000 for the gov
ernments expenses in conducting It's war
against General Bonilla.
"A few weeks ago." said DR.. Osgood,
Mr.. Campbell was surrounded by a squad
Of Honduran soldiers while he was on his
way from the consulate to his home. When
he asked why he was being followed he
was told that they were simply out for
a little practice and were paying no at
tention to him. But when he got to tho
door Of his residence he was seized and
bound, told that his cashier, bookSeeper
and clerks were already under arrest, and
that they would be shot by the morning
following If Campbell did not give up $780,
| 900 then and there. Arias was sent for
and appealed to by Consul Campbell for
protection.
"I am the representative Of the British
government he said.
| g But in your capacity of banker you
are not" it is said President Arias replied.
L swear to you that your. men will be
executed if the money is not forthcoming
and as for yourself, / can give <yeu no
guarantee for personal safety. rseS (;
| Fearing for the life Of his employees
and the welfare Of himself and family, Mr.:
Campbell returned to his bank and count
ed out the amount demanded. What re-
port he has sent to his government I dc
not know. The occurrence happened about
eight days ago. It is possible that the

RIVAL LABOR UNIONS
They Tie Up Work on All the Large
Buildings on Manhattan
Island. m.

New York Sun Special Service.
New York, April s.-The members of
the United Brotherhood Of Carpenters
and Joiners in Manhattan, about 5000
men, suddenly went on strike with the
result that work on all the large build
ings is tied up. Not the slightest indica-
ton that there would be a strike had been
seen. This strike is not the outcome of
any difference with the employers, but
is fight between rival labor unions.
Cause Of the Trouble.
The United Brotherhood Of Carpenters
and Joiners, which organization is non
union in that it is not recognized by the
New York board of building trades, de-
clared war on their rivals, the Amalga-
mated society of carpenters and joiners,
which has a membership Of less than 1000,
but which Is affiliated with and has the
support Of the central body.

thus far proved a failure. The bakeries
are continuing work under military pro-
lection.
The railroad service is gradually resum
ing it's normal conditions.
M. Melcher, we'll known socialist
member of the chamber, said:
This movement is of international i'm
portance. We are fighting the battle OF
labor everywhere against the encroach-
ments of injustice. II the government
had kept it's word and proceeded consti-
tutionally there would have been no
strike. We informed you that If the
government sought to pass the anti-strike
bill hurriedly and by arbitrary means We
should bring about a general strike. The
government paid no heed to it's promise.
but assayed to place the workers under
the heels of the soldiers and then to carry
things in the legislature with a high hand.
This action was insulting to labor and
full Of peril to the liberty of the subject.
Premier Kuyper aggravated the situation
by making speech in the chamber which
aroused the anmosity of every working
man In the country. The strike is likely
to be prolonged and will only stop when
the government wfthdraws its offensive
laws and when the directors of the rail-
ways grant the demands Of the railway
| servants. How extensively the strike may
spread depends on developments that may
affect every man in the country who
works for a living. :" ~ 'T
| Premier Kuyper processes to be opti-
mistic as to the outcome of the labor dis
turbance. He states that the government
is strongly intrenched against all devices
of the mob, and will go any length to
protect the kingdom from anarchy. He
defends the course of the government as
| unavoidable. >f'The workers connected
with the system Of transportation which
vitality concerns all the people, said the
premier this afternoon, must be com
| PEELED to give due notice Of their inten-
ton to quit service. These great inter-
ests cannot be exposed to the whim Of
| irresponsible labor leaders. Therefore the

feared as on other occasions, that their
windows would be smashed. ~
