Commander Maxwell, Of the American
gunbOat Marietta. has reported his ar
rival al the HOnduran port OF Ceiba,
where he was sent TO make a thorough
inquiry into the incidents which LED up
90 the action OF the Honduran govern
ment IN giving the American, French,
and Norwegian consuls at that place
their walking papers"
In view of the fact that they have
been deprived OF their official status,
it occurred to Acting Secretary of state
Bacon that the consuls might find it de-
sirable TO seek protection or passage
upon the Marietta. and Commander
Maxwell has been instructed TO offer

tween the foreign consuis and the Of

and there is a possibility that il may
result in creating an ugly situation.
About the middle OF last month a
revolutionary force appeared outside Of
the town OF Ceiba and demanded its
surrender. This demand was directed

OF getting them TO act as Intermediates
They neld joint meeting upon it and
forwarded the demand 10 the command

whereupon President Davila promptly

Among the charges against the con-

that they concealed their whereabouts
from The government troops. In re-
