LOOKS LIKE REAL
WAR IN CENTRAL
AMERICA
Revolution Well Under Way in
Republic Of Honduras
ALARM IN PUERTO CORTEz
Situation Complicated by Doubt as to
Loyalty Of Some Of the Govern
ment Troops

Puerto Cortez, Honduras, Dec. 2S,
via New Orleans, Jan. 3.-The long
expected revolt OF the adherents OF
Manuel Bonilla against the Davila
government in Honduras has broken
out, and decisive battle is expected
to be waged in the streets of this
city within few days. The cores
pondent of the Associated Press Is re-
liably informed that the revolutionary
gunboat Hornet was sighted off this
port late last night. That prepare
tions are being made for an attack
upon Puerto CorteZ by land and sea
is believed TO be certain
Accurate information says there are
about 800 Bonilla soldiers well arm
ed on the Montague bar In the disput-
ed territory between Honduras and
Guatemala.
Farther south along the Guate-
malan border it Is reported that
about 500 revolutionists, including
many Americans. armed with modern
rifles, two field pieces and plenty Of
ammunition. are preparing for a
march through Santa Barbara to Teg-
ucigalpa for the capital.
Another body of revolutlonists is
reported in the vicinity of Las Que
bragas, where a small engagement Is
said to have taken place yesterday.
These soldiers, II Is believed, are to
be used In the attack upon Puerto
Cortez, as there is good wagon road
from Las Quebragas to Choloma, a
railroad station south of this place
and near San Pedro Sula. In two
days march a juncture could be eff
fected near here with the Bonilla
troops on Montague bar.
There is a marked feeling of sus-
pense in this city. From all indica-
tons the government intends to make
a strong fight here. The garrison has
been increased in the last few days
by the arrival of 800 government
troops and small battery of ma
chine guns, but there is grave doubt
as to the loyalty of the troops. 1t is
believed that the mere presence here
of Manual Bonila or General Lee
Christmas will result In general
turnover and cause an alliance of the
government troops with the revolu-
tlonists.
Captain Davis OF the United States
cruiser Tacoma, which lies far out in
the harbor, has stated that immedi-
ately upon the outbreak of hostilities
he viii lend a sufficient number OF
bluejackets to protect the lives OF
Americans. All Americans and for
eigners, however, have been advised
to keep within the territory bounded
by the United Fruit company and the
Old lottery house grounds.
A strict censorship is maintained
hero and IL is almost impossible to
send cablegram to any place. All
kinds OF rumors as to the activity OF
revolutionists In other parts OF the
country are afioat, but the govern
ment will not permit any information
concerning the operations to come
over the telegraph lines.
New Orleans, Jan. 3.-Re-entering
the country over which he formerly
ruled and from which he was prac
tically banished after being deposed
three years ago, Manuel Bonilla to
day proclaimed himself constitution
al president of the republic OF Hon
duras."

DESCRIPTIVE DANCES
To Be Seen with 1.-THE Soul Kiss" at
the Opera House Tomorrow night

One of the leeding dances that is
to be given by Novita, the chic and
winsome little premiere danseuse,
who startled all Europe by her sensa-
tional and classic dances and who
will be seen here in the big musical
sensation, The Soul Kiss. at the
Bennington opera house tomorrow
evening, Is in the line OF descriptive
dancing In THE Hunt Dance" which
comes In the last act, and which was
formerly featured by Genee, she pic
lures the chase Of the fox, beginning
with the meet. the gathering Of the
horses, the start. the jumping OF the
hedges, and finally the capture of the
brush. She has TO dance as the horse
and the rider at the same time, and
depict the exhilaration Of the rider
as well as the nimbleness of the ami
NAL. The Descriptive Dance" says
Novita, needs more concentration of
mind on the work than the ordinary
fancy step dancing. because not only
must all the details be remembered
and the various steps executed in
time, hut the dancer must keep her
mind on the succession of the imagi-
nary events, and her facial express
sion must vary in harmony with the
changes.

for France accounts for the major part OF
the increase.
AS regards the big increase In values. he
said, Better grades are now being shipped
out mostly French 'clarets. though these

year on account OF the failure OF the 1910
