sword with as much gusto IS ever 1t IS
reported from Amapala today that
General Jose Valladares is suffering
secretly from nervous apprehension
over a stringency in the money market.
The Amapala Merchants have ceased to
import goods aud there are therefore no
fat high tariff duties which the General
can appropriate. 1t is said that the
Honduran Napoleon does not feel ex-
actly comfortable in facing such q gang
as make up his garrison without any
money IN his jeans for pay day. Ac-
cording to Minister Fenton R. Nc
Creary, who telegraphed the State D e.
partment from Tegucigalpa, the Hon

threatens an early extinction to the life
of Vall' dares.

today when the republican campaign
Headquarters made public bulletin
declaring that 6 900 men from here had

estimate that fully IS per cent OF the
