Washington. ID. c.. December co.
The Honduran minister to-day pro-
tested TO the state Department against
permitting the departure of the steamer
Hornet from New Orleans ono the
grounds that the vessel contemplates
Leading . revolutionary expedition
against President pavilla, The COM
plaint was based upon advices receiv-
cd from the ilonduran consul at Now

convinced that the Hornet would he

against tho government The min
iaid she matter before the State De-
partnlcmi officials for such action as
this government deemed proper, 10
prevent tho alleged utilization Of a
port pf the United states as base of
&ar operations.
The State Department officials feel
that all of the usual precautions have
been adopted to prevent the embarka-
tton ON the Hornet of q hostile eXpedi-
ton directed against the government
of President Davilla. of Honduras. Act
ing through the Department of Justice
and the Treasury Department. the
State Department has had close scr
vetllance maintained over the Hornet
1t Is realized that the Hornet might
meet another vessel at sea and embark,
men and arms. Or they might be taken
aboard at some little frequented Cen
trail American port. as was done In
the case of the venus, which was pur-
chased by the Madriz faction IL Mica
ragua TO operate against Estrada.
To prevent repetition of that af-
fair orders have been sent to the COM
mander of the United states ship Ia
coma now at Puerto Cortezs to en-
deavor to prevent the landing on "he
IHonduran coast OF any expedition that
appears to have originated in the United
states.
Meanwhile. there have been some in
ternal troubles in Honduras to dig
tress President Davilla. according to
tcIegraphic report TO the State Depart
ment from United States Minister Nc
Creary dated yesterday at Tesucigalpa.
The minister says that last Friday Col
onel Albarado. of the Honduran army,
led an uprising against the government
at a place called Aliana, on the Saliva
dorean frontier. The government troops
dispersed the band, several of whom
crossed the frontier into Salvador, In

The President of Salvador, on the re-
quest of President Davilla, has ordered

is not yet absolutely clear whether the
