Gen. Lee Christmas Tells of Fighting
in Honduras.

CHICAGO, June GA dispatch to the
Chronicle from New Orleans says:
General Lee Christmas. the American
who commanded q detachment of revolu-
tionists in ten desperately fought engage
ments in Spanish Honduras during the re-
cent insurrection and was. the first person.
to enter Tegucigalpa. the capital, after a
three days siege, has arrived here on the
steamship Anselm from Puerto Cortez.
Gen. Christmas was the second in command
on the staff of President Manuel Bonilla of
Honduras.
Gen. Christmas has come home on a va
cation. He holds the position of director
general of police of Tegucigalpa and brings
the first authentic information as to the
actual disposition of President Arias upon
Bonilla's triumphal entry into the city.
The eX-preSdent was declared to have
violated the peace protocol when he took
a detachment of thirty soldiers and is
charged with robbing the National Bank
at Tegucigalpa of over 100000. Bonillas
forces pursued him and found him and his
cabinet staff rejoicing over their booty
The members of the party were captured
and returned to the capital, where they
were thrown into the penitentiary and are
still lying there chained to the stone floors
with no prospect of release. 1t is alleged
there are eighty processes of the Honduras
law lodged against every member of the
Arias cabinet.
Christmas brings the news of the death of
Major AL Leland, for years chief of police
of the entire republic of Guatemala. He
was an American. a native of Michigan and
had lived in many cities in the states.

a special series of telegraphic time signals
was sent out beginning at $50 pm. and

from Maine to California, but in the cities
of Mexico, Toronto, Havana, Santiago, San

A telegraphic report from Toronto the
following day stated that the time signals
wore received there within two-tenths of a
second of the time as given by the observa-
tory clocks, which recalls the fact that the
midnight signal sent out last New Year
eve was accurately timed at the Lick OBJ
servatory, California, and found to have
taken but six-hundredths of a second in
transm. .sson. Havana, which got the signal
West. as it does daily at noon, had ar
ranged to pass II on automatically to Santi-
ago, San Juan and Kingston, showing that
out naval stations at San Juan and Guanta-
namo may yet have time balls for the beae-
mt OF navigators dropped daily by the clock
at the naval observatory in Washington.
From the observatory at the City Of Mex

FOR A NEW GUNBOAT
BIDS ON THE PADUCAH OPENED
THIS AFTERNOON.
Gas Engine and Power Company Of
Morris Heights Submitted Lowest
offer-Is Building Sister Ship.

Bids were opened at the Navy Department
this afternoon for the construction of gun
boat No. 1S, otherwise known as the Padu-
cab. There were but two bidders. One bid
was from the Gas Engine and Power Com
pany Of Morris Heights, N. Y, to build
within twenty months, on department s
plans, for 1855, ,O00. Another bid was from
the Townsend & Downey Shipbuilding
Company of New York, to build within
eighteen months, on departments plans,
for $377,O The latter company also SUBJ
mitted an alternative bid to build the ves-
sci for $372,OCO in case Roberts boilers
were used.
The appropriation available for the con-
struction of this vessel is 1882 600 or S27. 900
in excess of lowest bid That bid was SUBJ
mitted by the Gas Engine and Power Com
pany, which company already has the con-
tract for building the gunboat Dubuque a
sister ship to the Paducah. The contract
price for the Dubuque was $295, co., being
$4,000 less than the bid of the same COM
pany for the Paducah.
Bids for the Paducah and the Dubuque
were first opened May 10 last but as there
were no satisfactory proposals for the two
boats the contract for the Dubuque was
awarded to the Gas Engine and Power
Company, and the department readvertised
for bids for the Paducah.
Like her sister ship, the Puducah will
have a speed of 12 knots and a displace-
ment of LOSS tons, with length on low
water line Of 174 feet, and extreme breadth
of thirty-f1ve feet, mean draft of twelve
feet three inches at trial displacement, and
at full load about thirteen feet five and one
half inches, and a total coal bunker capaci-
ty of about 200 tons. A feature of the yes-
sci will be the composite hull built to a
point of about two feet three inches above
the low water line amidship, above which
line 1t will be entirely of steel The out
side planking will be of yellow pine sheath
ed with cold rolled copper.
The Puducah will have battery of six
4-inch rapid-fre guns four 6-pounder
rapid-fire guns. two 1-pounder rapid-fire
guns. and two Colt automatic guns. The
vessel will be fitted with two boilers of the
Babcock & Wilcox class.
The Puducah and Dubuque are intended
for service in the shallow harbor rivers of
South and Central America {

WORK AT THE CAPITOL.
Extensive Improvement Of the Build
ing Now in Progress.

4A6 NVW LII 3IUEsISSS.
The usual summer improvements to the
Capitol are now being made. Last winter
sos 600 was given Mr.. Woods, the superin-
tendent Of the Capitol. with which to make
repairs.
In the cleaning of the statue Of the God
dess of Liberty it was found that one of
the highest plumes in the headwear was
burned for distance of about two inches
by lightning. The lightning rods extending
to the top of the figure were also injured.
coat Of paint will be put on the Vir-
ginia freestone with which the main build
ing is built. Much work is also on hand
in the dome, the steel structure of which
will all be painted
Considerable decorative work has been
done on both the Senate and the House
sides Of the Capitol since Congress ad-
journed. Probably $50, 600 was spent or will
be spent in such work. The boiler capacity
Of the engine room of the Senate will be
increased from Is to 127 horse power as
the facilities in that respect were found to
be inadequate last winter.
In the galleries of both the Senate and
House of Representatives mahogany
benches vii; lake the place of chairs The
purpose of this change is to increase the
seating capacity of the two houses. The
change will increase the seating capacity
of the House 400 and of the Senate $50.
The floor Of the House lobby will be COW
cred with white marble instead of the old
English tile.
In the near future it is proposed to have
bronze doors on the House side to corre-
spond with those of the Senate. Allegorical
figures on these doors will represent agri-
culture and trade. The designs have not
been finally determined upon. The docu-
ment room of the House, which has been a
mere makeshift in the past. has been great
ly improved, adding to the space that can
be utilized for the storage of documents
Very extensive improvements in the
plumbing of the building are being made,
so that by next fall. 1t is expected, the
plumbing of the entire building will be of
the most apnrQYad pattarn.
