American Citizen Outraged.

Mobile, May 3.-News here by the
steamer Panan, from Puerto Cortez, is
to the effect that Davilla will not be
allowed to continue as president Of Hon
duras, but that President zelaya. Of
Nicaragua, will appoint Sierra, who
reigned over the defeated country pre-
vious to Menuel BonilIa.
The provisional government organized
by the Honduras revolutionists and Me
araguans IS proving very unstable, and
the foreign interests are not recognizing
1t in any form.
Commander Flllam, of the L. S. gun
boat Manila, is one Of those who has
refused TO recognize the authorities in
charge at the coast towns. His vessel
had left Puerto Cortez when the Panan
sailed for a trip along the coast, but
Commander Winterhalter. of the Padu-
cah. is in charge.
The steamer also brought the news
of an outrage e0rnnifted on Gen. Davis,
a fruit Inspector, who is a native of
Louisiana. He was assaulted by a Mica
raguan soldier, beaten. and then thrown
into Jail by the chief Of police and Mica
ragnan officers. The affair was reported
to Commander Fullam. and he sent q
force of blueiackets ashore. arrested the
chief of police and officers. and turned
them over to Gen. Estrada, who is held
responsible.
When the Panan sailed the HOndurar
soldiers were leaving the city.

Newport, r. l.. May s'-The submarine

Later, N "a semi-submerged condition, as
required by the boards regulations, she
beat the worlds record by making ten
knots. The batteries were used for the
semi-submerged tests
In making these speeds. the boat ex-
ceeded her contract requirements by
more than half a knot. The Lake, which
went through the surface trgls yester-
dav made only 7.6o knots with her en-

The boat was on the. course for seven
hours to-day. and more than half OF the
time she was running in the semi-sub-
merged condition with the coming tower
sealed and operating under her batteries.
At the end Of that time she still re-
tained nearly one-half of her electric
motive power AS the boat was hermet-
icaIv sealed during this time. an ex-
animation of the air was made by the
board after the runs were over and it
was found to be in an entirely healthy
condition. the ventilation proving entirely
satisfactory.
At the conclusion of the last run the
boat made q dive for the purpose of
demonstrating her ability TO go under the
water at q moments notice.
a total of eighteen runs was made over
the course. half of them with gasolene
engines as motive power for surface use
and the other half with only the cOnning
tower exposed and the storage battery
used for motive power. The dive which
the boat made was the first one during
the tests and was entirely successful.
The showing which the submarine made
is regarded as exceptional and gave en-
tire satisfaction. During the surface
runs the deck was free from water at all
