Former United States Gun
boat is Bound For
Cape Gracias.
Has a Crew of Twenty Men,
Two Hundred Tons of
Coal and Provisions for
Twenty Days Included
in the Crew Are Several
Men Who Have Been
Prominent in Filibuster-
ing.
BY Associated Press.

New Orleans, Dec. 19.-The form
er United States gunboat Hornet. re-
ported to have been purchased by
Honduran revolutionists, cleared from
this port at 1890 this afternoon for
Cape Gracias, with a crew of twenty
ment. 200 tons of coal and provisions
for thirty days. Included among the
crew are several men who are said
to have been connected with previ-
Gus filibustering expeditions directed
against Central American republics.
When the clearance papers were Sc
cured the Hornet was anchored in the
river, several miles above the Gus
tom house, remote from any regular
landing or wharf. At 1 o'clock the
Hornet had up a full head of steam
and it was announced that she would
sail during the night.
Customs officials admitted that the
report that the Hornet was intended
to be used in a revolutionary move
ment against Honduras had been
brought to their attention, but that
her papers were regular and there
would be no interference with her
movements. T.
aoNlLIA- IGNORANT =
Manuel Bonilla, former president OF
Honduras, and Generel Lee Christ
mas, the noted American soldier of
fortune, whose names nave been
coupled with the alleged expedition,
reiterated today their denial OF knowl-
edge Of the purposes Of the Hornets
,ieDarture: Their names DO not ap.
pear in the clearance papers and they
were not seen in the vicinity of the
boat today.
Notwithstanding the denials made
by Bonilla and Christmas, there is a
feeling of certainty in the local Cen
trail American colony and among
those we'll informed in Central Ameri-
can affairs. that these two fighters
are to head the most complete revo-
lutionary expedition that ever left
this port. The Hornet has recently
undergone extensive repairs and has
been fitted with modern electric
plant, including powerful search
lights.
A secret agent of the Davila ad
ministration, who has been in New
Orleans for three weeks, kept a care
full watch on the Hornet today. For
this reason and because it is known
that the United States authorities are
watching the vessels movements
closely. Bonilla and Christmas, it is
said, will make their departure later
and join the Hornet either at Cape
Gracias OF Puerto Barrios.
