Nav End Honduran Revolt.

1t is practically conceded, says the New
York Herald. that the want of some un-
known leader yet to arise, the capture of
Gen. Manuel Bonilla and Lee Christmas
will end the revolt in Honduras begun by
the two men July 10.
1t is felt, also, that no two men in the
world are at this moment in a situation
of more extreme delicacy, and that al
though they probably will escape with
their lives, their escape will be due less
to anything they can do for themselves
than to the fact that their captors must
recognize the unwisdom of provoking a
repriSal from their hundreds of sympa-
thizers and supporters.
The revolt of July 10 had been planned
for July %, and although it broke prema-
turely it has been serious matter for the
HOnduran government

crash. Two telegraph poles were torn to
splinters.
The large telegraph cable at that cor
ner was also twisted into many shapes.
A force of workmen worked practically
all night repairing the cable and broken
