 'Tegucigalpa. February 2S. 19o7.-- Si Commandantes:--Yonr telegram of yesterdays date is understood. Please say to Counsul Cuevas that he has full authorization from this ministry to defy the falsehoods with which the government of Zelaya pretends to stain our reputation. General Zelaya has been for several years the constant dis turber of Central America: that he is cruel enemy of the government of General Bonilla. against whom he has cast the last revolutionary movement which has come to interrnpt the peace of the repubiic;th Gcueras Zeiaya has provoked the actual campaign In spite of the constant efforts of the govern ment of Honduras to arrive at a peace- full convention; that the motive of the war as also the entrance of our troops Into Nicaraguan territory, are we'll ex- plained in numbers 3SS. 390 and sse of "EE Estado" in which can be taken much data to defend our cause; that 1t is absolutely false that our troops in penetrating the Nicaraguan territory have committed the depreda- tions of which Minister ccrea SO lau- daciously accused them; that it Is ab- solutely false that the Nicaraguan forces have defeated our forces; and to say that they advance victorious to- ward the interior of this republic is a fiction: that up to date there have not been more than slight skirmishes. in which not one of ,he important chiefs of our regiment has been made prisoner and that General Teofilo Carcamo Is perfectly well and saved; that the government of General Zelaya has been and is false, e,dlsloyai. i.treacher- ous, intriguant. and the most despotic of the Isthmus, as can be attested by all Central America. and, lastly, that no news proceeding from the govern ment of zelaya car. be true, for 1t is well known that in his international relations no confldece Is placed in him by any of the legations of the world, and in his private capacity no one believes what he says, because he Is completetf discredited.
 By note of the 17th inst. I wrote to Minister Cordova and to Consul Fernandez giving them instructions over this matter, In order to defend our republic and government based in documents from the calnmnies, asser- vations and fantastics of the govern- ment of Ze1aya and his agents.

inal conspiracy in having illegally OBJ
tanned loans aggregating 1910 from
trust companies of which they were
officers. The father, John G., Jr., and
Frank were indicted for perjury In
having made false statements to the
state superintendent Of banks. The
four men were arrested arraigned and,
after pleading not guilty, held under
bonds for a hearing. .s....
The Jenkinses have been an impor.
tant factor in Brooklyn banking for
some time, and at their Long Island
homes long have been persons of in.
f1uence. Not long ago an impromptu
vote of confidence in the father was
given by a church congregation at
Sea Cliff. The banker. who is adj.
vanced in years, in taking part In
the service, had touched upon the
banking crisis, and while tears
streamed down his face, he pleaded
with his neighbors to suspend judg.
ment so far as his family was con-
Cerned.
When called to the bar Wednesday
Mr.. Jenkins appeared feeble and
leaned heavily on the arm of one Of
bis sons. Bonds Of $4,000 were re.
CURED Of him, but the sons, who were
already under bail, were held each in
$4,000 bail only. The court ordered
that the aged banker be not measured
and photographed by the police.
