that when this indictment came up before Judge

eight out OF the ten counts. while when later on
the same Indictment came up before Judge
Speer, OF Savannah. the latter condemned the
two counts which Judge Brown had sustained

Brown had condemned.
Next the eXtradition Of Greene and Gaynor

fraud by an agent trustee. In Savannah,
however. Mr. Lawrence said, they were tried on
trying them for different offence than they
eXtradited for.

BONILLA'S FALL NEAR.
HIS Surrender Erpected-Uaited
States Ships Sent to AmapaIa.

Washington, April President Bonila Of
Honduras is still surrounded at Amapala, ac-
cording to dispatches received to-day by the
State Department. and his surrender is expect
ed at any time.
Dean r. Wood, the American Consul at Cetba,
Honduras. who has just arrived in Washington
from Central America. was in conference to-day
with various State Department officials concern
Ing the war situation in the Central American
republics. Mr.. Wood was in Ceiba when the
American gunboat Marietta landed troops there
and says warship was never more heartily
welcomed anywhere Ceiba was in condition
OF extreme unrest The Nicaraguans did not
land any troops there but the revolutionary
movement, involving the entire republic Of Hon
duras and the landing Of more than 1900 Mica
faguan5 in TFujillo, had caused great excite
ment, and the American warship in the harbor
and the party Of bluejackets sent to guard the
american consulate and preserve order in the
public.
Puerto Cortez and Ceiba were not taken by
the Nicaraguans, according to Mr.. Wood, but
are in sympathy with the movement against
President BOnilla and ready to join with any
army which seeks his overthrow. The war Is
said by Mr.. Wood to be largely personal and is
directed against President Bonilla and his adj
vtsers. Mr.. Wood says the victories Of the
rebels, assisted by the Nicaraguans. are not re-
garded as engagements in a war OF Nicaraguan
conquest The HOnduran6 cherish their indie
pendence, he says and would not lend assistance
TO any war which would result in ending their
republic, but the sentiment against President
BOnilla became so strong that any means of ef-
fecting his overthrow was heartily welcomed by
his enemies.
Mr.. Wood says the war on the north coast OF
Honduras was conducted with great fair
ness. The property Of foreigners was not mo-
Tested. and the only loss which foreign property
owners have suffered so far has about
through the lack OF labor. due to the drafting
OF able bodied men into the army When the
Nicaraguans landed their large force at Tru-
t4llo there were orders against plundering, and
the commanding officers paid for whatever sup
plies were necessary for their forces.
AT the instance of the State Department In
structions have been cabled to the American
warships on the west side OF the isthmus 20
proceed at once TO Amapala. President BonIla
Is reported TO be surrounded on the island on
