MUNITIONS OF WAR
SHIPPED HONDURAS

MOBILE, June 15.-The Norwegian
steamer Harald sailed this morning
for Ceiba, Honduras, with, as part
of a general cargo, several cases OF
rifles, bayonets and ammunition.
The clearance papers show that the
vessel is bound for no other port and
that the arms are for the Honduran
government, AshbelHubbard, local
head OF the steamship line denied
that they were for revolutionists In
Central America.
A strange feature Of the shipment
of arms, and one which has not been
explained, is that the rifles, Of which
there are about t1,000, are of pat
tern not usually purchased by govern
ments, but are the kind so popular
with Latin-American reVolutio1ists
because they are cheap and simple TO
repair in the field. They shoot a
heavy lead bullet and not the steel
jacketed kind generally adopted By
military authorities Of government
in power.
