MUST QUIT HONDURAS
SIGNIFICANT ACTION OF OFF,
GALS AT HoNDURAN CAPITAL.

TEGUCIGALPA. Honduras March 13.
via Mobile, Ala. March 13.-At g. confer
ence today between Minister Bustillo of
Honduras. the American minister and the
minister of foreign relation for Salvador
ii was resolved to notify Honduras ''emi-
grades occupied in promoting revolu
tionary movements that they must return
to Honduras or leave for Costa Rica.
The above is a translation of a teie-
gram from the minister of foreign rela-
tons at Tegucigapa. The message is si
lent to the place of meeting, but it
can he assumed that ii was held in Sal
vador.
Evidently this action is taken Ly joint
consent of Honduras. Salvador and Costa
Rica. as the "emigrados" could not be or
dered to Costa Rica without previous con-
sent of that government.
The news is significant. indicating that
the United States government is follow
ing up the agreements made by the peace
conferences neld in Washington with d
view to making them effective by the
suppressi' of revolutionary movements
in one bic against adjoining repub-
Hes. If all the adjoining republics agree
upon this policy. permanent peace will be
assured for Honduras.
Constitutional Convention Adjourns.
TEGUCIGALPA Honduras March Is
via Mobile, Ala. March 19.-Accordng to
the recent congressional election called
by the Davila government the members
were elected to serve first as constitu
tional convention to revise the constitu-
tion and put into effect the subsidiary
laws: secondly. ordinary congress
A majority decided against revision and
adopted the constitution of 1884, also
putting into effect the subsidiary laws
enacted under the constitution of 1894.
Today, having terminated their mis-
sion as a constitutional convention. a re-
cess was taken and the deputies are re-
turning to their homes without having
held any session as an ordinary congress.
They will probably be convoked within
two months as an ordinary congress to
act upon various contracts and other i'm
portant matters when there is money
enough in the treasury to sustain the
expense.
Several proposals were pending for the
lease of a railroad and government
wharf. also a number of contracts or
concessions for public improvements,
which remain in allegiance.
The country is tranquil.

MAGooN TO PROTEST.
Objects to Government Quarantine
Against Cuba After April /.

HAVANA, March 19.-It is reported
that Gov. MagoOn will protest to WASH
ington against the quarantine which the
United States government has announced
will be instituted against Cuba after
April 1.
The ground of the protest is that such
quarantine regulation would violate
the convention between the United States
and the Latin-American republics, which
provides that quarantine can be estab-
lished only when a yellow fever case has
existed within five days of the sailing of
a vessel. There has been no fever here
since March II.

Guiding the report of the board which
conducted the trials of submarines and
which recommended the adoption of the

A new PATROL WAGON
City Will Soon Have Much Needed
Equipment.

A resolution was passed at the regu-
lar meeting or the city council Mon
day evening instructing the mayor to
appoint a committee of three council
men to select and purchase a new
patrol wagon during the next sixty
days. The proposition of a new thur
ry up" wagon has been forced into
prominence by numerous accidents
which have practically demolished the
vehicle at present used Tor that pur.
pose. but the money stringency seems
to have affected the city treasury at
present and in no way could the
council purchase a suitable wagon
without overdrawing some fund
Prices and pictures have been received
without huber at various times and
the matter has come up at numerous
meetings in one shape or another but
it could never be disposed of. The
action Monday evening will however
likely solve the problem as the com
mittee was given full power to act
in spite of repeated efforts on the part
of the minority to make their action
subject to the approval of the coun
Gil" This clause was added to the
original motion and was finally passed
before the directors conld present
their case. but when 1t was explained
that such a clause would leave the
purchasing of the wagon in the hands
of the whole council, which it was
suggested might never be able te
come to an agreement. the motion
was reconsidered and passed without
the amendment.
1t was the general opinion OF thos'
present that the new wagon should
be combination patrol and ambu
lance and the prices OF such vehicles
range between 500 and $1,000. Tni
action will also in all probability ne
cessitate the purchase OF a new team
of horses. another set of harness AM
perhaps the making Of repairs at tn
FIRE barns. The bili win be paid on
of next years appropriation.
