WARSHIP TURNS PIRATE
Honduras GunbOat Sends Troops to Board
Norwegian Steamer.
ORDERS MERCHANTMEN INTO ISLAND PORT
Seiged Vessel Gusts Troops and Es-
cRpes Under Cover of Darkness,
Finally Reaching New Or
leans Via Ceiba.

NEW ORLEANS, April S.-The Nor
wegian steamer David, which arrived to-
day from Cuba, Spanish Honduras, reports
a dastardly attempt to override the inter
national law regarding the rights OF nett
trails by Colonel Vilarde, commanding the
Honduran gunboat Tatumbla.
David was cruising off Utilla waiting for
a pilot to take 1t to Ceiba when the war
ship hove in sight and ordered the steamer
to put into the island. The better to en-
force this command Colonel c.. Vilarde put
half a dozen soldiers on board and watched
David head for shore.
Fortunately night fell before the harbol
was reached and David anchored OF shore
as II intending to enter the roads In the
morning. Instead of this, however, ad
vantage was taken of the darkness to gei
rid Of the troops and make all steam fol
Ceiba.
Captain Warnecke was much put out owe,
the incident and although at a loss to defn
itely assign a reason for the HonduraI
commanders strange action, he still ha
many conjectures. His chief fear was tina
he would be compelled either to relInqulsl
all his coal or transport troops for tn
Honduran government.

PART OF THE KLAN'S CAMPAIGN
D~isRracefuI Efforts to Secure Votes
ResOrted to by the Anti
MOOres Element.

One OF the striking features OF the Co
pher Klan's campaign was exhibited to the
citizens yesterday. Someone, presumably
the general committee" equipped a wagon
with a pair OF sorry plugs and a six-piece
brass band, and sent II about the city
streets to discourse such lively airs as
''ThereIl Be a Hot Time" and the like, to
attract attention to the banners which
decorated the sides OF the wagon. On
these were painted with a marking brush
wha is supposed to be a representation OF
a hog. Under 1t this inscription: I'VE are
not for Moores for a third term. Are your
Who the we" might be Is left to con-
lecture for no one could be seen In con-
%nection with the wagon save the driver,
and the only evidence that II was occupied
was Afforded by the dolorous noises made
by the brass instruments spasmodically
blown by the concealed musicians" Tn
general appearance Of the outnt and It's
artistic ensemble leads to the suspicion
that II lie a conception Of the anne es.
thetic brain that devised the beautiful
Mercer poster. that charming study II
black and white which decorated the bill
boards Just before election last fall. I

ANYTHING BUT A PARAGON OF INTEGRITY
nuSiness transactions of Man Who
sets HimseIf Tn as Puriher of
Politics and Model of
z Civic Virtue.

John \ Westberg. candidate for re-
nomination for the oflcs Of city comp r | er,
has the idea that Omaha needs him more
than he needs Omaha. and that he must be
kept at the public crib for the protection
of he taxpayers interests.
For several years WestbeTs has been
setting himself up as the model Of civic
virtue and the standard Of business and
official integrity. BY day and by night he
has preached his W greatness as a
purifier Of politics and the arbiter of Of
hoiaI conduct. In ward meetings. on street
corners and over bars Westberg has talked
necessarily and his invariable theme has
been Turn the rascals out and leave Il
to me--the soul of honor. the paragon Of in
tegrity."
So earnestly has westberg preached his
own virtue that few people have considered
II worth while to investigate his record to
ascertain whether all the good he sayI
is In him is really there. His record in

law long ago."
His Present Enterprises.
It will be noticed that Mr.. Westberg re-
marks that he has been paying for dead
horses, but the fact remains that the dead
horses" of the Gate City Ice company have
never been paid for. Westberg pleads bus
mess misfortune and poverty as the ex-
cuses for not meeting his obligations, but
during the last year or SO he has had sum-
cient means to invest in speculative enter
prises, as he is a heavy stakeholder and
secretary OF the Omaha Wyoming Oil COM
pany and the Ulntah Petroleum company.
The Omaha Wyoming company owns II. 1870
acres of land in Uintah county, Wyoming,
and the other owns $40 acres In the same
territory. Both companies are represented
by Westberg to be substantial concerns.
