HONDURAS NOW HAS
NEW GOVERNMENT
PROVISIONAL ADMINIST RATION is
ORGANIZED, WITH DAVlLLA AT
THE HEAD-sALVADoR lNVA.
SION INSIGNIFICANT.

Puerto Cortez. Honduras. April H. via
New Orleans, La, April PA new pro-
visional government of Honduras was to-
day organized as follows according to
telegraphic dispatches art>5 here from
Tegucigalpa:
President, Gen. Miguel r. Davila; min
lister of war, Gen. Dionisio Gutierrez;
minister of the treasury Gen. Miguel O..
Bustillo: minister Of justice. DIR. E. c..
Fiallos; minister of int9.ior. Col, Ignaeio
Castro; vice president and minister OF
works. NJ. b. Kosales.
The telegram said that this government
was formed by unanimous consent
The invasion from Salvador reported in
dispatches from here two days ago has
proved thus far to be of small conse
quence So weak were the invaders that
the Nicaraguan commanders did not send
into the interior troops which they had
collected here for the purpose of meet
ing this invasion, and 1t now appears
that all Nicaraguan soldiers along the
Caribbean coast are to be speedily sent
home. IL i j
According to the best information OBJ
tainable the invaders were all Honduran
troops which had been defeated at the
battle of Choluteca, and had retired tenn
pOrarily into the territory OF salvador
1t is reported that no Salvadoran soldiers
participated.
An amusing instance of armed resist
ance to American marines by Honduran
revolutionists came to light today In the
official correspondence of the American
gunboat Marietta. Col. Luis Isaula, rev.
olutionist in command of the port of Tela.
Honduras, drew a revolver upon Ensign
McNair of the Marietta, when the latter
was sent ashore at Tela to say that Amer
ican marines would protect foreign prop
erty. Colonel Isaula threatened to kill the
ensign If he did not desist in his pur-
pose of landing marines.
Commander Pullman of the Marietta
sent body of marines ashore to demand
an apology from Isaula. These marines
found the colonel with eighty men drawn
up in skirmish lines, and were told that
Colonel Isaula demanded an apology of
the Americans When however, the Amer
leans advanced and said they intended
to have an apology Isaula backed down
and wrote one
Among the acts for which an apology
was asked was the cutting down of
British flag at Salado. 1saula's soldiers
threatened the life of William Collins,
British subject, who had raised his flag
for protection Commander Pullman In
formed the colonel that the American
marines could not allow insults to the
British flag.
