SITUATION IN HONDURAS.
United States Will Demand Facts Re.
 sardins consuIs.

Washington. August 2-(Specia1) 1)-The first official communication from Hon. duras to the state department was pre- sented by Minister Ugarte yesterday. and this communication raises the question of fact whether the United States consu- lar officials at Ceiba committed any act that warranted the cancellation of their credentials by the Honduran government.
 The Justification of Honduras as fur nished by Minister Ugarte is that the American agents at Ceiba not only pre- scented the demands of the revolutionists that the town be surrendered. but that they advised the commandant to surren- der and concealed the whereabouts of the emissaries of the revolutionists.
 The state department, however. acted promptly when it heard that President Davila had cancelled the exequaturs of the consuls. It got official information that the consuls had merely presented to the commandant of the town certain propositions which were sealed. The rev. olutionists themselves would have the right to do this under a flag of truce.
 The direct contradiction between the Honduran side and the American side of the case has given the matter a more serious aspect than heretofore It is thought now that the United States will ask that the facts be ascertained by a mixed tribunal, and in the meanwhile 1t is standing on the correctness of the re- ports of it's own cOnsuls.

Royalty Saved the Goat.

From the Chicago News.
 Two years ago the Prince of Wales vis- tied Gwalior, in India. The Maharajah of that state had established some lion cubs in an inclosure with the idea of perpetu- ating the breed, and one morning the Prince strolled out, with some members of his staff. to see them fed. He found them batting an unfortunate. live goat, which they were playing with as cats with a mouse. After watching the per formance for a while, the Prince suddenly exclaimed: "I can't stand this any long CT. He's jolly plucky goat, and we must git him out somehow
 The question was how to manage the rescue, for 1t was not at all an easy task to get the goat out of an inclosure in which some e-quarters-grown lions were at large. A lasso was eventually selected and the work of salvage com menced. They had just got the moose over the goat and were about to hoist him up when a lioness went for him in earnest, and it looked to be all up with him.
 But with the courage of despair the goat charged her and sent her flying; and be- fore she could pick herself up and return to the attack the rope was over him and he was hoisted up in safety. He was found to have escaped without injury. barring slight cut on one leg. and he was made a pensioner for life and adorned with a silver collar.

SAD DEATH IN THE
 M|NES.AT ENSLEY Young Man Was Known As
 Model Convict PARENTS IN IGNORANCE They Knew He Was Convict From MaL. u h1k
They Knew He Was Convict From Mobile Only After He Had Met Horrible Death Under the
 Wheels of Coal Car.

Ensley, August 2-(SpeciaL) )-James Ryan, vino was injured in the mines at this place Saturday, died at Pratt City late Saturday night. The deceased's s home was in Cleveland, o. The remains are at Echol & Angwine's undertaking establishment awaiting instructions from relatives. Ryan was trip rider in No. 8 mines, and in some way was shocked by the motor and thrown under the coal car. His body was terribly mangled and his features are hardly recognizable.
 Many sad features are connected with this accident. Ryan was a convict, hav- ing been sent up from Mobile county about four years ago. He was called the model prisoner, and his sentence would have expired in five months. An effort was about to be started to secure his par don. The deceased comes from a very good family in Ohio. who knew nothing about the predicament he was in. War den Moore at No. ? prison is greved at his death. When seen by the correspond ent of The Age-Herald Warden Moore said that of all the prisoners he ever had charge of Ryan was the best be- haved. '1e never gave me a moment of anxiety or care" said the warden. He was well read man and never ex- hibited anything but good nature and strict obedience, was never sullen and thus was a great influence over the other prisoners for good'
 The unfortunate man was so well thought of that the prisoners, after the warden made talk to them Saturday night on his death, commenting him for his good conduct, volunteered to defray the expenses of the funeral out of their earnings over and above their task, but the warden would not hear of it, pre- fering to bear all expenses himself.
 He assured them that he would not be buried as a pauper. This is sad end- ing of an unfortunate life, and has ex- cited the deepest sympathy wherever 1t has been known. The Very Rev. Father OGrady, in the sermon to his congrega- tion at the Pratt City Catholic church this morning referred to the sad death and circumstances connected with it. The entire congregation knelt in prayer for the repose of the dead mans soul. If the relatives are not heard from he will be buried at Oakland A number of promi- nent citizens of Ensley who formerly lived at Cleveland will escort the re- mains to the grave.
