DENIAL BY vAsoUEz.
Former Honduran President Not Trying
 to Overthrow Government.

Eormer Houdurau President Not Trying
 to Overthrow Government.
 Pureto Cortez Honduras, April 30, via New Orleans, May 6.-A denial that he has been. organizing an uprising to disturb the peace of Central America, and having IS It's main object the over throw of the present Honduran Gov ernment, was issued here today by General Domingo Vasquez. former President of Honduras.
 The statement was published under the thorization of F. c. Fiallos. one of the leading officials of the present Government.
 It has been reported that General Vasquez was organizing insurrection- arv bands near the Honduran frontier, fin Guatemala and that Salvador had supplied him with. munitions of war.
 More details of recent attempt to assassinate President Cabrera of Guate- mala have been brought here by pas sengers from Guatemalan ports. These reports say that from five to eighteen cadets, suspected of the attempt on Cabreras life were shot; that, in addi- ton. twelve soldiers were shot for re- fusing to fire on the cadets, and that several political prisoners have been executed It is said also that Cabre- ra's life was saved by a coat of mall which he wore under his clothing and thai four. bullets struck this armor with such force as. to knock the President down
 An interesting explanation of the reasons why General ogun Bustillo, special minister of Honduras to Guate- mala, sought refuge in the Mexican legation in that country has been made public here It is to the effect that Cabrera was informed that the Hon duran minister had received valise containing a large amount of gold from President Zelaya of Nicaragua. pre- sumably for the purpose of assisting a plot against Cabrera.
 It is said here that Bustillo did re- -ceive a valise containing money, but that the coin was silver. that the amount was small. and that 1t came from his own Government to defray his expenses.
