QUARREL MAY
END REVOLUTION.
Lee Christmas, Soldier of Fortune and
Gen. RonilIa Are Said to Have
Had Falling

IN THE TEA SEVEN SHARP KNIVES
Christmas Attacked In Alley by Ma
tIves But Escapes With Only
One Wound, In
His Hat.

PUERTO, CORTEZ, HONDURAS
Jan. 23 (via New Orleans, Jan. 26.)-
Lee Christmas, the American soldier
of fortune in command of the revolu-
tionary army in the field, and Gen,
3onilla have come to the parting of
the ways. An old quarrel is declared
to be responsible for the breach that
may lead to the abandonment of the
campaign by Christmas just as he is
on the point of winning decisive
victory for the insurgents.
Together with this report, not as
yet confirmed, comes one of even
more serious import. This last de.
clares that while at Neuva, Armenia,
Christmas was attacked by band,
in some of whom he recognized a
number of his own men. Whether
this assault has anything to do with
the quarrel between the revolution
ary field marshal and his chief is a
matter of speculation. The story how
ever, persists, and is most circum-
stantial and detailed.
Christmas, it asserts. was on his
way from inspecting a batch of newly
arrived recruits, and was passing
through an alleyway to the little
town when the attack was made.
There were seven men armed with
knives 1t was about 1880 on the night
Of the Goth inst, the day after the
seizure of the Hornet.
Christmas is reported to have .es-
capped uninjured, after backing UP to
the wall and facing his assailants
with Mauser pistol. One OF the men
threw knife that pierced the fill
busters hat.
The quarrel with Bonilla, while less
sensational, is Of much more impor.
tance with the insurgent cause. If the
row assumes serious proportions, it
is declared by his friends here that
he is just the man to throw UP his
commission in Bonilla's army and
leave for his home in Louisiana.
The trouble is said to have started
several years ago when Christmas
was chief of police of the capital of
Honduras. Certain acts of his were
criticised by several members Of the
senate on the floor of that house. and
the fiery American resented it. Bonil-
la was said to have taken the side of
| the senator and Christmas is said to
have slapped him in the face.
| When Christmas came down here
to fight the battles of the revolution-
| list leaders 1t was officially stated that
truce had been patched up and the
two men were friends again. Just
what has caused the present trouble
is not known generally here.
No Quarrel Here.

is now putting up the windmill and
tank. The well is the deepest one so
far drilled in this part of the valley,
being 16e feet TO the bottom of the

ter was secured, but the most remark
able thing in connection with this
well is the fact that the vein of water
rises three feet above the surface wa
ter level, giving strong evidence Of an
artesian flow.
