San Salvador, Oct. 12,-lnformation
was received here today that the U. D

Yesterday and demanded the surrender
Of Commandante Valladares, who In
augurated a reign of terror against
American and British interests IN the
western Honduras. Valladares refused

prior TO the arrival OF the warshlps
President Davilla sent word to val
ladares to meet any demand made 10y
the American commander. Nalladares
answered that he was running the port
as it suited him, and refused to com
plv with President Dayilla's request TO
surrender.
Further word from Amapala declares
that American marines are preparing
TO land and take forcible possession and
they will meet with resistance.

In reference to these meetings the

says; wv 60
II is presumed that the Washington

and the new line will be called by ITS
name. At present the roads are under
one management, the property OF the
Washington, Arlington and Falls
Church Railway being leased to the
Washington, Alexandria and Mount
| Vernon.
Several theories are advanced as 10
the purport OF this movement. In
quarters it is believed that 1t means an
important move in the building OF the
new line from Richmond to Washing
ton. while exactly the converse opinion
| is held by others. 1t was stated at one
time that the lines would become the
property Of the Gould interests, and
that the Richmond Washington road
would enter the capital city over the
bridge now used by them. On the
other hand, it has been said that the
scheme is to force the Southern Railway
to sell its Bluemont division to the new
company by threatening to build a
competing line from Vienna to Blue
mont. which is authorized by its char
ter, and thus to block the Goulds from
reaching the Potomac.
