New Orleans April 2O.-Bonilla is now president of Honduras, Arias Is in prison at Tegueigalpa and Sierra is a fugitive in Nicaragua, having fled to that country for safety when the handful of govern ment troops deserted him at Necaome on April 6, when the rebels, under Generals Barahona and Maldonado, made an attack on the government forces under command of General Sierra. and then marched on to the capital where Arias was made a prisoner
 This, with the news that quiet prevailed in the erstwhile disturbed Central Amer ican republic. was the information re- eeived by the Times Democrat from Honduras today. Bonilla swept the en- tire republic and finally captured the man whom Sierra said should be the president in the capital of the republic, without losing as many as dozen lives among his. forces numbering about 10000 mefl;~An a revolution lastng eipoht two months. That popular sentiment was wholesale desertion of the government troops. who joined his army. Since Bonilla has assumed control of govern ment affairs, quiet prevails and the be- lief is expressed that the country will be more prosperous under his administra- tion than it has ever been.

| COAL BARONS MIN FROM COLLEGE BOYS Owenton Team Defeated by
 Score of II, to 0 ELCH SHOWED UP WELL Next Club Will Be Pratt City, Which Comes on Saturday, and the Fire
 works Start on the Fol

ELCH SHOWED UP WELL

The Coal Barons defeated the Owenton college baseball team yesterday and O'Bnen's aggregation now holds the un- disputed title to the college champion ship.
 The score in yesterdays game was Il to in favor of the professionals, but that does not indicate how few balls were hit. The collegians put in a pitcher named Weleh and he did remarkably well against the heavy hitting Barons. He had very poor support, however, and the many errors in the field added to the numerous runs.
 In the diamond between short the soggy mud looms up to the depth of about six inches. This interfered seriously with the work of Mcguire as well as the col- lege boy infelder It was found very difficult to run bases through the heavy sand and consequently the game appeared rather slow.
 Denver worked out for the first time and was very fast.
 The team will have no hard work from now until Saturday when they go against the amateur team from Pratt City. This team 1t is said, will give them some good practice as the Pratt City club Is said to be quite fast. On Monday the real fun begins and everybody is now on the tip- toe of expectancy
