The latest news of the Goldsboro and Bailey Is

It was learned in this city yesterday that 'he '"o

Bailey could have chosen no more dangerous pot
of landing for his purpose than Tela The com
YnanGant of the port and collector OF custohi' i
Tela is Colonel Carlos c. Violet. an American cti
zen and formerly of this city. He was ineiiue
of the 23d Regiment of Brooklyn ara one ol tle
founders of Troop c.
Colonel Violet is president of tho Atlantlda

pointed out that even i'll the absence OF al eAti"
dtion treaty between the United States and Hon
duras he will hardly permit American interests
to suffer in the case of the Goldsboro Auantloa'
the new name of the latter vessel. is taken from
one of the states of the republic.
It was learned yesterday that Bailey tried 10
land the cargo at Puerto Cortez free or duby' de-
claring to the authorities that he intended estab-
fishing an American colony in the country and that
the Goldsboro's cargo TO be used In that con-
nection But the Honduran officials refused 10
grant the request.
Jacob Fried of counsel for the receivers OF the
Export Shipping Company, said that the records
show that the draft-kitins which BaueS
is accused begun some time In rep
ruary. In April Bailey changed the entire per
sonnel of his office, except the stenographer so tna
there would be nobody in his employ VINO would
know too much of his peculiar methods of conduct
ing the affairs of the company. He had corre-
spondents or firms doing business in this market
through his office in nearly every country OF the
world including India. Spain, Portugal. Denmark
and Barbados
Speaking of the escape of Bailey with his loot, A
Parker Nevin scounsel for the National Assoca-
ton of Manufacturers said yesterday: No plan
was ever worked out more sllilfully. The people
who went away with the Goldsboro knew that there
was no extradtion treaty with Honduras. No mat
ter if a warrant is issued in the police court and
an indictment found by the grand jury 1t is i'm
possible to get Bailey out of Honduras If he does
not want to come. Every move he has made has
been carefully studied and he is surrounded by
every legal protection that it is possible TO i'm
agine If Bailey is brought back to the
United States it will be after a legal battle that
will pass into history, and the fight will be one
that will be watched by the whole legal fraternity.
At present the location of Mr.. Bailey. if, re-
ported he is in Honduras. places him in a posi-
ton practically impregnable.
