Puerto COrtez, Honduras, July s.
Via New Orleans, July Scores
pondence about the extradition of the
four American prisoners, Francis G.
and Albert W. Bailey, H. H. Meyers
and Alfred Oxley, has become public
here. Francis G. Bailey, who was
president of the Export Shipping Co,
Of New Jersey, and who with others
came here on.the steamer GoldsbOro,
protested to President Davila of Hon
duras, against being held a prisoner.
President Davila telegraphed in reply;
"As your case depends entirely upon
the government of the United States
which set up claim for your deten-
ton, certainly cannot accede to your
request and / must comply, otherwise
there might be complications"
The Baileys appealed to the Hondu-
ran courts, from which they received
no reply. Their case therefore has
caused much uneasiness among num-
bers of Americans in Honduras who
might be subject TO extradition should
this rule be put into practice These
Americans rely for safety upon the
constitution of Honduras, to which the
BaiIeys took an appeal In vain The
most succinct of these constitutional
guarantees reads
THE Republic of Honduras is sa-
cred asylum for any person who seeks
refuge in its territory"
Officer Berry, of New York, who
took the prisoners, excepting Francis
G. Bailey, who escaped, back to the
United States, was supposed to bear
the documents supplied by Washing
ton necessary to obtain custody OF
the refugees, but so far as known here
furnished no such requests to the
Honduran authorities. II is claimed
that he carried these papers back to
the United States.
