Americans In Honduras.

Washington, April s.-A despatch
from New Orleans which tells of the
safe arrival there of several Ameri-
can prospectors who were in peril in
Honduras and to guarantee whose
safety Senator Hanna asked that a
warship be sent to that country,
does not include all of the persons
set out in Senator Hanna's request
upon which the navy department
acted. Owing to the interruption Of
telegraph and cable communication
the government has not been able to
obtain direct information as to what
is going on in Honduras. Repeated
efforts to communicate with Rear
Admiral Coghlan, supposed to be at
Porto Cortez, have failed. 1t is known
that the admiral has had occasion to
land marines and it is not doubted
that he would hesitate to send them
even to the capital of the country
if it were necessary to protect the
American interests.
