United States Marines Will Land at
Porto Cortez II Outbreak

PUERTO CORTEZ. Honduras Dec
26.-That a revolution is impending
seems certain, although so far Hon
duras continues quiet. There is an
undercurrent of excitement due TO the
report that the converted yacht Hon
net recently purchased from the Unit
ed States government by representa-
tives of the Bonilla faction is headed
for this port, and when she arrives
will lombard the city. The excite
ment, however, is confined to the nd
tive element entirely, as the Ameri-
cans here are confident that the
American cruiser Tacoma now in the
harbor will protect their interests.
Commander Archibald H. Davis has
notified the officials here that he will
not permit fighting within the clty,
and if there Is any disturbance he will
land marines TO protect foreign prop
erty.
Gen. Bonilla. Lee Christmas and
party of American adventurers are re-
ported to be on board the Hornet.
Bonilla SAYS that President Miguel
Davilla has barred his friends by re-
tanning the presidency after having
been party to an agreement whereby
he was TO retire in favor Of Bonilla.
II Is reported that If Bonilla lands
from the Hornet he will have no lack
OF native supporters. Sympathizers
with his cause are reported to have
landed enormous quantities Of arms
and ammunition on the coast and to

Superba' is unquoslionably the

BLAME LABOR FOR EXPLOSION
THAT DAMAGES IRON WORKS
Company Officials Tell Police II is
Due to Strike Of Employees, But
Workmen's Official Denies.

LOS ANGELES. Dec. 26.-The
Llewllyn Iron works were partly
wrecked by an explosion, presumably
OF dynamite, early yesterday The
force of the explosion tore out the
front of the building, smashed win
dows for more than block aud
awakened persons more than two
miles away. The night Waterman was
slightly injured.
A hole Is inches deep and about
six feet in diameter bears witness to
the force of the explosion. About 20
feet of the front of the main build
ing, a three-etory frame structure,
was shot TO pieces and it's contents
of furniture and paraphernalia were
piled together in apparent ruin.
The heavy machinery of the build
ing apparently was undamaged
J. K. Asbury, Waterman, was seat
ed in the Office, 80 feet from the cen
ter of the explosion. He was buried
under a mass of debris, but was
dragged out by Policeman Cahill,
who was In front of the Office at the
time. With the exception of a cut
on the right hand and an abrasion of
the scalp and face, Asbury was un.
hurt
The Llwellyn Iron Works has long
been prominent In the fight against
the recognition of union labor in this
city and is one OF the concerns in
volved in the metal workers strike.
which went into effect June L. The
strike has been characterized by great
bitterness on both sides.
The strike was called originally to
enforce demand for an eight-honr
day for all metal workers and uni
form wage of so cents an hour. The
struggle was precipitated by a notice
from the men engaged in the metal
trades in San Francisco that the EN-
ployes there had made concessions
to their employees on condition that
they should not thereby be placed al
disadvantage in competition with
non-union Los Angeles firms
Officials of the Llewllyn company
are of the opinion that the supposed
effort to destroy their plant is the
outgrowth Of their differences with
labor and the police are working on
this theory.
Fred c. Wheeler, president of the
Los Angeles Central Labor Council,
said:
THE fact that the Llewllyn Iron
works is in warfare with organized
labor is all that our enemies need to
endeavor to lay this outrage at our
door. Every true friend of the cause
of labor knows that violence Injuries
our cause more than those against
whom II may be directed
"To those who would seek to fasten
upon us any responsibility for such a
crime, we of the Los Angeles Labor
council are able to make answer by
defying any one 10 point out any
time i'm our 26 years Of existence
when we have ever advocated other
than peaceable measures for the ac-
conplishment OF our just ends"

a team hard to beat.
The company appeared in two bur-

every opportunity to display its versa

dance cleverly and drill with a pre-
cision that Is decidedly refreshing.
The olio numbers are also good.

Life on the Pacific Coast. by S. ID.
Woods, who has long been a promi-
nent resident of San Francisco, is an
interesting first-hand account OF the
history OF the Golden State There Is,
perhaps, more romantic interest in the
story OF California than is TO be found
in the annals OF any other state in the
union. and Mr. Woods lived through
all its history. He first went TO Cali
fornia In the great year, lS49. but not
as gold seeker. Mr.. Woods was a
mere lad then He was accompany
Ing his father, who was sent out as a
missionary TO the wild settlements OF
the Pacific Coast.
MIR. Woods book is DOCK of per.
sonal "reminiscences from a busy life
lie has served in congress. travelled
all along the coast, and is intimately
familiar not only with the building OF
the coast, but also with the men who
built II. He was a regular attendant
at the old California theater, from
which so many old-time stars started
on the road to fame and his recollec-
lions OF these personalities gives a
delightfully."- close picture of them. He
was also familiar with the legal, pro.
fessional and literary life of the coast
and there are TO be found In his book
many references TO Bret Harte, Edwin
Markham aud others.
Mr. Woods unfortunately does not
give us the simplicity of style that
we would be led TO expect in such a
narrative Of pioneer days. There are
many observations OF a general nature
that have only remote connection
with the text, and there are some
repetitions that might have been elm.
mated by little more careful editing.
His book is a distinct contribution
however 10 the literature of what will
some day form the basis OF the his
tory OF the United States.

extra s~ixpence.
