SMELLING OF AMAPALA ENDS
NICARAGUA CEASES soMBARp.
MENT OF HONDURAS TOWN..
President Bonil,a Still Surrounded
There-Authority for Interference
by American Sought.

Washington, April 4.-President Bo.
nilla of Honduras is still surrounded
at Amapala so far as the state depart
ment knows, but the bombardment of
the town by Nicaraguan gunboats has
ceased according to dispatches re-
ceived from Phillip R. Brown, secre-
tary to the American legation to Guate-
mala and Honduras.
The United States cruiser Chicago
and the gunboat Princeton are both
known to be lying near the island on
which Amapala is situated, and the
presence of these two American war
ships is supposed to be largely respon-
sible for the halt in the bombardment.
Mr.. Browns dispatches do not state
whether President Bonilla has been Of
fered refuge on the American war
ship, neither do they state whether he
has taken any action in behalf of the
United States government to protect
the fugitive president.
Mr.. Corea, the Nicaraguan minister,
called at the state department We'd
nesday and inquired as to what au-
tuOI1Cy Iullllp L. brOWu, secretary OF
the American legation to Guatemala
and Honduras, had for his interfer-
ence with the bombardment of ANA
pala, Honduras, by the Nicaraguan
forces. Mr.. Corea's advices from his
home government show that Mr..
Brown went to Amapala by the cour-
tesy of the Nicaraguan officers, assur-
Ing them that he hoped to persuade
President Bonilla of Honduras to sur.
render thus ending the bombardment
of the city. The Nicaraguans con-
sented to cease firing for "a hours.
Before that time Mr.. Brown went to
La Union, Salvador, and from there
he dictated protest on behalf Of
Salvador against the renewal of the
bombardment of Amapala, saying that
Salvador would regard such action as
a declaration of war by Nicaragua
against the Salvadorean republic.
1t is the desire of the Nicaraguan
government to learn by what right
Mr.. Brown is acting for Salvador. Such
Interference on his part is a radical
step, and all Central American re-
publics are much interested in the
outcome. State department officials
have refused to disclose what Mr..
Browns instructions have been.

Fire in Excavation for Tunnel Termi.
nal at New York Delays Com

New York, April 4-Fire caused by
spark from one of the boiler rooms
in the excavation for the McAdoo tun-
mel terminal at Dey. Fulton and
Church streets early Wednesday did
damage estimated at $4,000, and a
delay of 80 days in the completion of
the work on the huge terminal build
ings will result. Five men We're in
jured during the progress Of the fire
by being caught in one of the deep
caissons, two of them so severely that
it was necessary to take them to a
hospital.
There were many thrilling rescues
and several instances Of personal
bravery during the progress of the
fire. Deep down under the ground IN
the 100 and more caissons which are
being sunk for the foundations of the
big terminal buildings to rest upon
were between 500 and 600 men at
work. When it was seen that there
was danger of the Gre spreading to all
of the: engine houses south Of Dey
street, shutting off the supply of air,
the pressure of which enabled the men
to work under ground and the With
drawal of which would mean serious
danger, If not death, to many Of them,
the danger signal was given and the
buckets lowered into the caissons to
bring the tunnel workers to the sur
face.
Around some the derricks used to
lower and hoist the buckets the flames
ragged fiercely, and in two instances
the men in charge of the donkey hoist
ing engines lost their nerve and de-
serted their posts. leaving the men so
feet beneath the surface of the ground
to their fate. The deserted hosts
were quickly renamed by volunteers,
however, and the new men stuck to
their posts with the flames roaring
around them until the last one of the
tunnel workers was brought up to
safety.

SECRET Sitting BY
LUNACY commission
LAWYERS FOR BOTH SIDES IN
THAW CASE BARRED FROM
EXECUTIVE SESSION..
TWO EXPERTS APPEAR
ON WITNESS STAND
One Declares Defendant Is Not capa.
Bile Of Understanding Present Sit
uation While Other Asserts He Is
r
Perfectly Rational.

New York, April 4-After hearing
two experts as witnesses Wednesday,
one for the state and one for the de-
fense, the commission which is in.
quiring into the present mental con-
dition of Harry X. Thaw went into
executive session and conducted it's
last mental and physical examination
of the defendant. Even the lawyers
on both sides were barred from this
last sitting, the commission intimat-
ing that after the mass of contradic.
tory expert testimony placed before it
the members believed they would get
all the information they required
from Thaw himself.
The commission expects to report
its conclusions to Justice Fitzgerald
to-day, at which time the trial will
proceed or an order will be issued
committing Thaw to Matteawan.
Believes Thaw Insane.
When the Thaw lunacy commission
went into session District Attorney
Jerome called to the witness stand
DR.. Allen Ross Diefendorf, superin-
tendent of the state hospital for the
insane at Middletown. Conn.,, and pro-
fessor of mental and nervous diseases
at Yale university. DR.. Diefendorf
testified for the state at the trial of
the nature and quality of his act when
he shot and killed Stanford White and
knew the act was wrong. To the COM
mission Wednesday the alienist de.
clared that from what he had seen of
Thaw and the writings he had ex.
amined he was of the opinion that
Thaw is not now capable of rightly
understanding his own position, of
appreciating the nature of the charge
against him or of nationally advising
his counsel.
The defense asked permission to
call two more witnesses-Dr. Charles
G.. Wagner, of Binghamton, N. Y, and
DR.. William A. White, of Washington,
D. c. Both physicians testified for
Thaw at his trial. Dr. Wagner de-
clared that throughout the trial Thaw
had acted and conversed in an en-.
tirefy rational manner He fully un-
derstood the nature of the proceedings
against him, and had advised with his
attorneys in the hearing of the doc
tor. DR.. Wagner said he had talked
with Thaw as late as Wednesday
morning when he discussed the trial
for more than half an hour.
When DR.. Wagner concluded Mr..
Hartridge stated that DIR. White was
ready to take the stand if the commits
sion required his testimony, but
Messrs. Mcclure and Olney, of the
commission, said it would be unneces-
sary.
