GUNBOAT TO LOOK ON
Albany Goes to Scene of Hon
duran Warfare.
HUNDRED MARINES ON BOARD
Her Mission Said at Navy Depart
ment to Be for Observation Only.
SalvadOrian Government Arrest
ing Citizens of that Country as
Well ns HOndurans.

The United States government will
send the gunboat Albany from Panama
to Amapala, on the Pacific side Of Hon
duras. to make an investigation of the
situation there. Revolutionists have cap
tured the town Of Choluteca, which is
about seventy miles inland, and they are
said to DO advancing upon Amapala.
According 10 reports which have
reached the State Department, there are
rumors of an invasion across the north
ern border of Honduras from Guatemala,
but these reports have not been con
hrIned. The Salvadorian government has
arrested many persons. both Salvadorians
and Hondurans. who are said TO be
implicated in the revolutionary movement
against Honduras. These arrests are
made in accordance with the convention
adopted az the peace conference held in
Washington last winter.
Nicaragua Guarding Coast.
Nicaragua Is using her small gunboats
10 patrol her own coast 20 prevent the
revolution from spreading into her ter
ritory. President Zelaya, OF Nicaragua
has given assurances TO the United States
that the warlike preparations Of Mica
ragua were for the purpose OF defending
his own country. and not TO take the ag-
gressive against any other Central Amer
lean republic.
The Albany. in command Of Commander
Henry T. Mayo, will probably remain at
Amapala for several days in order to
look after American interests there in
case a sudden emergency develops. She
has on board a marine guard Of 100 men,
who are being transported 10 the Mare
Island Navy Yard from Panama, where
they have been on duty for the last sew
eral weeks.
Goes Simply TO Investigate.
There Is no intention on the part OF
the United States 70 use these marines
In Honduras it was said at the Navy
Department yesterday. The Aibany's
mission, it was pointed out, was simply
one OF investigation. The presence Of the
Albany, however, Will have a strong
moral effect upon the revoluuonists.
Il was explained at the Navy Depart
ment that the transportation Of marines
on board the Albany was merely an eco
nomical method OF bringing them back

was in progress or was there any iikeli-
hood Of their being any. One sergeant
reported that everything was orderly, and
that. apparently. there was no use for a
guard OF police. IL was also denied that
the police were heavily armed. The Of
ficer on the desk at police headquarters
said that the men were armed as they

were on duty.

CLAIMS AGAINST MOROCCO.
American Interests Looked After by

The commission TO investigate claims Of
foreign citizens against Morocco, growing
out Of the Casa Blanca revolt, about a
year ago, will hold a meeting at Tangler
July %. The United States will be repre-

the American Legation at Tangier. Man
deville c. JacObus. of Paris. an attorney,
who has for some years been counsel Of
the American Embassy there. has been
sent 10 Tangier TO assist American claim
ants in presenting their cases before the
commission.
1t is not expected that many American
claims will be filed, as there is only one
native-born American and few natural
lied Moors in Morocco. The aggregate
of claims presented will probably be about
$500 600
