 PRESIDENT DAV|LA General Valladares Is Holding
 a Small Island DAVILA FEARED HIM vaiIadarcs Has Long Been Hostile To the Administration and Now Has Announced Himself in Open
 Rebellion

Washington. November 2-Back on his own island and safely entrenched be- hind his battery of machine guns, Gen. Jose Valladares, the eccentric command ant of Amapala, the Pacific port of Hon duras. has openly defied President Davila to deprive him of his job. The United States gunboat Princeton which has been In Amapala about three weeks to pro- tect United States interests has been ordered to remain there until relieved.
 MT McCreery telegraphed last night that Valladares had left the capital a few days ago in company with Gen. Calixto Carias, who had been designated by the president as valladares' successor. Valladares told the president he would turn the island over to Carias, after which he would return to the capital. Arriving in Amapala, however, valla- dsres evidently changed his mind.
 Valladares issued a manifesto, assert ing that the president was weak and unworthy and dominated by foreigners, and that he considered 1t his duty to resume command of Amapala. He promptly sent Carias back to the main island in launch and announced that he would make trouble if any foreigners interfered.
 Acting Secretary of the Navy Win throp at once ordered the Princeton to stay at Amapala. The Yorktown prob ably will be sent from Panama to re- lieve her.
 valladares had been governor of Anna pala since 1907, when Davila became president. He had even been hostile to the administration, but has been per- mitted to retain his office. 1t Is said, be- cause the president feared he might in- cite a revolution in an attempt to oust him. Early last month Valladares made certain threats against foreign residents In the place and at the request of Pres ident Davila the Ueted States sent the gunboat Princeton post-haste to Anna pala.
 Prior to her arrival from Panama Val ladares telegraphed to Davila that he would relinquish his office as soon as he could close up his accounts.
 When the Princeton arrived he reluc- tantly received Commander Hayes and assured him he had had no trouble with foreign residents other than a contro- versy over some goods passing through the customs house. Valladares departed soon afterward for Tegucigalpa, leaving one of his own men In command. He an- nounced that he was going to the cap ital to consult with the French and Ger man ministers.
 Amapala has 1500 inhabitants, including 25o well armed soldiers, who are said to be loyal to Valladares. The latter hates foreigners, but to the present he has done nothing more serious than to threat en them.

 "The east looks to the west for gold and grain. The west looks to the east for it's sunrises, it's presidents and its panics. The highest proof of wisdom of the three wise men of the Bible is that they came out of the east.
 Now we are giving them something to think about. The democracy of the west has prevailed the east to such an extent that even in Maine with its traditions of iepublicansm has seen the light.
