AMERICANS PLAN A
RAILROAD IN HONDURAS
Line From Atlantic to Capital
and Branches to Traverse
Rich Country

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.--Consul Drew
Linard Of Ceiba furnishes the following
granted TO an American company for
the building of the railway from
Truxillo to Tegucigalpa, in Honduras
An American company has obtained
from the government of Honduras a
valuable concession, including land
grants, to construct a railway from
Truxillo, on the Atlantic, to Teguci-
a capital stock of $4,000 600, and has
been incorporated in Arizona The ac-
tual work of grading, according to the
promptly as the necessary details can
be arranged for the shipment of con-
struction plant and stores to Truxillo.
The railway, as projected, will in
clude, in addition to the main line from
Truxillo to Tegucigalpa, branches to
several prominent cities in the interior,
and will consequently give those regions
direct communication and transporta-
tion facilities to tidewater.
The territory to be penetrated by
these lines is practically virgin, and is
silver, copper, iron and mahogany, with
evidences of coal and petroleum in
proximity to the adopted survey.
The total length of the road when
completed will approximate $50 miles
the grading will be heavy and in
clude large percentage of rock ex-
-cayation. The track is to be standard
gauge. of 20 pound steel, and all mate
rial used for construction purposes. su-
perstructure and rolling stock will be
of American manufacture.
"Truxillo, the Atlantic terminal port
of the road, has natural harbor advan-
tages, with good anchorage for deep
draft steamers, while the port service
can be readily improved, at compara-
lively small expense, to meet a pos
sible future demand for increased ship
ping traffic.
The government of Honduras has
always been lenient and generous in
ceding valuable rights and privileges
to individuals or companies for the
purpose of exploiting the natural re-
sources of the republic, and it has long
ture among people familiar with this
attitude of the government and the
valuable rights to be had that capital
develop this very lucrative concession.'

although the contents of the safe were
so badly disarranged that Miss Nc
Gam was not sure whether anything
more than the cash had been stolen.
To deaden the noise. mail bags and
a piece of carpet were muff1ed about the
door. The explosion was heard, but it
was thought to have been done by those
celebrating New Years eve just about
midnight, when the din was at it's
height.
Miss McGann was held up about six
weeks ago and robbed of $50 near her
home in Barrett avenue. A year ago
the postoffice was robbed, but the burg

penitentiary.
City Marshal J. II. Gregory traced the
departure of the safe crackers by open

by James McMullen, a butcher, and had
driven toward Oakland, where it is
supposed to have been left.
