disc belonging to American manufacturers and
now impounded at Tela, Honduras. were taken
at a meeting of creditors yesterday, at which 1t
decided to send officers and a crew 10 Hon
duras to man the vessel and bring her back TO

der arrest. with his brother, in Honduras, moth
ing has been done. The cost of the undertaking to

When other speakers were called upon no one responded al- thoug MT. Kelly was there to the ehu of the session.
