Puerto Cortez Via Wireless to New
Orleans)-An attack on Puerto Cor.
tez by the revolutionary gunboat,
miles off this coast late last night, Is
expected hourly. Several hundred
government troops arrived yesterday
from Tegucigalpa and others came In
this morning.
Fighting has already started at Las
Quabrada according to reports which
arrived today. Following rumors that
the United States cruiser Tacoma had
sighted the Hornet last night, the
American consul, at the instance of
Commander Davis of the Tacoma, to-
day warned all Americans to remain
indoors if trouble started. Notice was
given the commandant today that the
Tacoma tomorrow would land marines

to mean that a land attack by Hon.

Las Quabrada, a small town in the
department of Santa Barbara, GO miles

where Manuel oBnilla, former presi.

has a large following.
It is believed to be the plan of Bon
lila to attack Puerto Cortez with the
Hornet while small body of troops
moves on the town from the south.

been current here for several days,
General Lee Christmas is to head a
large body of troops which have been

AN UNREAD REPORT.
The Methods Of Barney 8arnato In HE
Minino Ventures.

The Methods Of Barney earnato In HE
Mining Ventures.
Barney Barnato before the tragic
termination of his career was widely
known because Of his large fortune
won in mining ventures. His rapid
accumulation Of wealth was popularly
attributed to luck, but luck Of the per-
sistent variety usually rests upon
more solid basis than mere chance.
An insight to Barnato's methods Is at
forded by an incident recently related
BY A. A. Blow, an American engineer
once in Barnato's employ. After an
exhaustive examination Of a mine
whose purchase was under considera-
ton Blow prepared an elaborate and
yoluminous report. It was accompa-
MED by maps and selections and was
a piece Of work Of which the engineer
felt that he could be Justly proud
When it was handed to Barnato to
read, however, the latter laid it aside
unopened.
"Tell me about It." he. said.
Blow proceeded to make an oral re-
port
Barnato doIed. Finally he excla1m-
ed:
II employed you because I think you
know something about this business
and do not. Now, I do not want to
hear all of this scientific rot about this
mine. All I want you to tell me IL
whether it is good businessT
Blow told him ''No."
''Then that settles It." said Barnato
"You are willing to accept the respon
sibility of turning down this property
at the price oftered7"
"Yes," was Blows reply. put
want you to examine the reports, maps
assays, plans, ETC., and see the rea
sons I have for my conclusions"
"Why should I do this?" Barnato IN
auired. "You tell me that 1t Is no
good business And as I cannot IN
derstand your report why should
waste my time on anything that 10 no
rood business ?"-Moody's Magazine.

There is apparently no change in
the speakership contest which Is &C.
cupying the attention of the members
of the lower house already assembled
in the city preparatory to the oDening
Of the session next Tuesday.
There were some rumOrs on the
streets yesterday to the effect that
there had been some sort OF cOI'
promise made in the insurgent camp
whereby they could II agree upon
some one of the many candidates in
the field but when run to earth It was
found there was nothing to 1t. There
will be a cacus called in the near fu'
ture by the insurgents, and then one
later by the stalwarts and at each OF
these the factions will try to unite
on some one man whom they will en-.
ter in the final race.
It was generally conceded that Capt.
Hanley was gaining strength yester'
day. luanness had not made any for
NAL announcement. Sorlie was work
ing in the INTERESTS of his candidacy
and Price Twas out looking up his
friends. With the arrival of the trains
today there will probably be more
than half of the members here and
then something definite can be ar
ranged upon.
There is considerable speculation as
to the organization Of the house.
Some are asking for harmony and
then saying that it can only be OBJ
tanned by the other fellow conceding
everything. Just what sort OF har-
mony that sort of proposition can
bring about remains to be seen,
