She is being closely watched Dy
limited States marshals. Reports ID
Central American circles here say the
Hornet is to ard In a revolution TO DC

dent Manuel Bonilla.
A report gained circulation that the
Hornet was sold Friday afternoon te
representative Of the Mexican lnsur
rectoes and would be fitted out WIFE
guns at point on the Mexican coast
AT or near San Fernando. 1t is known
that an agent OF the Mexican revolu
tionists has been comforting here
with Gen. Christmas.
Bonilla said emphatically he mad nc
knowledge of the intended movements
of the Hornet.
"If the Hornet has sailed or is pre-
paring to SAIL he said, you canno'
make 1t too plain that it is not in the
interest of Gen. Bonlla. The report
that the Hornet is connected with
revolutionary movement which an
to lead against the present Hondurar
administration is absolutely false
The vessel is expected to clear un
der command of Capt. c. Johnson
The Hornet has hurriedly taker
aboard 200 tons of coal, and pro
visions for 80 days.
That the visit here of Dr. Salvador
Castrillo, former minister general t
Washington from Nicaragua, hal
something to do with the hasty clear
ing of the Hornet, is the report. Thi'
he emphatically denies.
1t also is rumored that the visit o
former President Bonilla to New or

purpose of securing suitable craf
that would be of assistance in strik
ing a blow at the Davila government
The vessel, according to her car
tain, will clear for Cape Gracias witt
crew of six firemen, four sailors an
several officers. At the time O
Bonilla's visit the Hornet was owne'
by a new Orleans firm, which bough
the boat from the government las
year. 1t was about this time that tn
vessel was purchased by a Mr.. Beef
who owns five schooners in the Ger
trail American trade.
1t has been rumored that Presiden
Estrada OF Nicaragua would lend al
sistance to Bonilla. 1t also is repor
ed that Gen. Lee Christmas is e'
pected to take an active part in tn
proposed revolution.
Gen. Lee Christmas, the America
. soldier Of fortune, made ssatemen
to the Associated Press at midnight
in which he denied any knowledge @
the destination of the Hornet, or Q

the vessel is involved,

A SECRET MESSAGE
REFUSED BY HOUSE
Report From War Department
Returned.
COUNTRY IS UNPROTECTED
The Document is Said to Have Con-
tanned Admission Of Our Umpire.
paredness for Military
Operations.

Washington, Dec. ia report
from the war department showing
how the country is lnadequately pro
tected against invasion from foreign
governments was sent to the house as
a secret document, and, after several
conferences and hurried telephone
messages, was returned to the wal
department because the house could
not receive a secret report.
Members of congress who saw the
document before Its withdrawal say
the report of Secretary Dickinson
points out that the country Is wholly
unprepared; that there Is woeful In
adequacy of men, guns and ammuni
ton; and that council OF national
defense, with a secretary of war at It'll
head, should be created by congress
The report of General Wood, mark
ed confidential dealt with these
matters and gave official admission tt
matters that are OF more or less com
mon knowledge among army ant
navy experts in this country ant
abroad. In fact, the real significance
of the document is that it makes offi
cial admission of conditions already
well known among army and nav
officers in this country. and abroad.
Gen. Wood, before the house mill
tary committee, furnished some inter
esting information. He discussed TIN
whole subject of national defense
told where the weak points lay, ant
laid particular emphasis on the posi-
bility OF attack from the Orient. HI
did not give vent to any alarms
views, but talked confdentially of tn
need of congress, as a prudent AM
effective act, to take immediate &C
ton to guard against any possHl
trouble from Japan or China.

discovered by counsel for George w
Glover and e. ]. Foster Eddy, and
Christian Science leaders are consid
erably disturbed.
There was a consultation in Wash
ington between ex-senator W. E
Chandler and George w. Glover and
news Of what was under consideration
!, leaked out here,
Briefly the contestants will claim
that the Christian Science church
never has been incorporated and con
sequently has no legal standing.
If this contention can be proved,
lawyers say the Eddy estate will re-
vert either to her next of kin or to the
state.
There is no record on the Massa'
chusetts bureau of interpretations that
the first church of Christ Scientist is
q corporation. That is the official
title of what is known as the Mother
church.
Many years ago when Mrs. Eddy
first acquired property in Boston, she
incorporated under the name OF the
Church of Christ Scientist, but this
organization was later succeeded by
another, whose title was the First
ChNrch of Christ Scientist and this
latter organization in whose directors
hands she placed her immense be
quest has never been incorporated.
