there are any riches in Honduras. let
the people enjoy them when and
how they will. The conservatives
point to the fate of Poor Lo" in the
United States and civilization is
synonymous with extinction, ac-
cording to the doctrines of the un-
tutored native. He has been made
to believe that anyway by the poll
tician.
Should the revolutionists over
throw the government, it will be
quite essential for the United
States government to step in and
keep close watch that the conces-
sions. particularly in the mining
zone belonging to it's citizens are
not molested, These concessions are
state. There is known to be plenty
of gold and other ores there. but the
difficulties that must be overcome to
get it out are well nigh insuperable
in some places.
Some of these difficulties Presi-
dent Sierra has endeavored to over
come by building an improved road
which will tap the mining country
and interest foreign capital in the
many undeveloped industries of Hon.
duras, The, interoceaS,c railroad
which has only been completed be-
tween Porto Cortes and Pimienta,
though begun in 1867, will. without
doubt. be pushed to rapid completion
should the present administration
remain in power.
Honduras has always had trouble
about financing its affairs. 1t has a
hard struggle to meet running ex-
penses. and with foreign debt of
something like s90.00o.0o0 in 1900.
the outlook is not very promising

portion of the debt, and the railroad,
agreeing to pay the government ST.
900, 900 year. to complete the rail-
road and to establish hank.
Smuggling by the natives reduced
the customs to a small percentage OF
what it formerly was. and the syn.
dictate accused the government of
bad faith 1t stopped work on the
railroad and the government again
took charge of the customs. In 1901
new contract was made with the
syndicate, which agreed to build IS
miles of road within two years. pay
ing $4,000 year for the use OF
the road. The syndicate has not re-
sumed construction and the govern
ment will probably resume manage
ment of tho railroad when the two
years has expired. Meantime the
syndicate has sued the government
for breach of contract.
