Puero Cortez, Honduras, March %.
via New Orleans, April 3.-The inten-
tions of the United States in landing
marines on Honduras coast and the
evident latitude granted them in pro-
tecting foreign life and property, is
exciting much comment here. 1t has
been remarked as especially signif1-
cant that American landing parties,
not only here, but at Ceiba and Tru-
Jillo, have in each instance placed a
hotchkiss gun which they took ashore
with them so as to sweep the seaward
approach. Foreigners believe that
this means the United States will not
permit the ports to be bombarded, in
asmuch as 80 per cent of the houses
here and at Ceiba belong to foreign
erns. Cannon shot fired into either
place would do the most damage to
foreign-owned property. 1t is believ-
ed that in the case of these two ports,
the Nicaraguan gunboat will be kept
off by the hotchkiss guns, while at
Trujillo, despite the fact that is is
a Honduran port, the Honduran gun
boat will not be allowed to lombard
in any attempt to recatpure the port
from Nicaraguanz. Both countries
are treated impartially in this respect.

used in referring to DR.. Hale, and 1t
perhaps best describes his most con-
spicuous efforts. His entire career,
his hereditary influence and environ

choice of friends, all tended to make
him a patriotic American citizen, and

Lynn, Mass. April 3.-An engineer
of this city has just perfected an in
vention which is declared to surpass
anything in the way of colored illumi-

idea provides for the use of steam and
electric light in conjunction in way
to put all ordinary pyrotechnic effects
in the background. Briefly, he ar
ranged a big array of naval search
lights so as to throw their beams on
series of steam jets and clouds issuing
from various sized pipes. The latter
are set in great instrument driven BY
powerful boiler and controlled by
keys, somewhat in the fashion of an
organ. Colored discs and devices are
placed over the searchlights and oper-
ated in conjunction with the steam ma
chine. All kinds Of rocket effects can
be produced by the light on the steam
jets, while bursting shells and other
devices are initiated on the rolling
clouds above. Set displays Of the most
artistic description can be produced at
will, and the color combinations are
unlimited. Moreover, the cost is

President Bonilla is but it is believed
that he is somewhere near Amapala,
