REBELS HELD At BAY
BY AMERICAN YACHT
Cape Haytien Captured by Revo-
lutioniStS and Foreigners
Are in Peril.
GOVERNMENT OVERTHROW
Yacht Owner Forbids Bombard
ment-Request to Use Arms De-
MED, He Takes Emergency
Measures to Save Lives.

Cape Haytien. July 20.-Cape Haytien
is in the hands Of the revolutionists. and
the sole protection of Americans and
other foreigners at this port is the yacht
American. which arrived here yesterday
morning. The United States gunhoat
Petrol sailed from here several hours be
fore the arrival of the yacht, leaving
American interests unprotected.
When the yacht came into the harbor
her owner. said TO be Mr. Dick, of
New York City. found the town in
a state of semi-anarchy. The insurgents
were rapidly approaching, and President
Simon and his troops had left Fort Lii
berte for Port-au-P Prince. There were
also rumors that tho cruiser Antoine
Simon was on her way to lombard some
of the ports. AS is customary under such
circumstances. most of the residents took
sides with the revolutionists. and soon
the authorities were unable 10 check the
disorders. Mr.. Dick informed the Off
cials that he would not permit any bonn
bardment by Haytian warshps and
would protect the foreigners.
At o'clock last night lighting broke
out in the streets. The searchlight Of the
yacht was kept playing on the house in
which the Americans who were brought
in from working on the railroad had col
lected with their wives. The civic au-
thorities aided in this work.
At daybreak, however. the govern
ment was overthrown, the revolution
lists had occupied the town. and the
streets were filled with excited men
shooting at random. All the American
women were taken aboard the Yacht.
while the foreign consulates were filed
with refugees. These included generals
who had opposed the revolution and the
local authorities. in protecting whom the
French Consul was slightly wounded.
A request was cabed to the United
States authorities by the yacht owner
for release from the bond given before
leaving New York not to use arms. and
an answer was returned that there was
no authority for such release. This
practically denied the right to protect
the lives of Americans. but nevertheless
preparations were continued TO give
such protection in any way deemed ad-
visable.
The whole American colony asked i'm
mediate protection. and it is pointed out
that serious results may follow if per-
mission is denied the American Yacht
owner TO use the guns with which the
vessel is supplied in case Of emergency.

ship.

CHRISTMAS MAKES
 COMPLETE DENIAL
He and BOnilla Deny Charge of Violating the Neu-
 trality Laws

New Orleans, February H.--Both Gen. Manuel Bonilla, provisional president of Honduras, and Gen. Lee Christmas, his chief military aid in the revolution in that country, emphatically deny the charge that they violated the neutrality laws of the United States in connection with the departure from this port of the steamer Hornet.
 The Associated Press today received aerograms from General Bonilla and Gen eral Christmas regarding the indictments returned against them by the federal grand jury here. While, General Bonilla does not indicate what steps he will take in the case, General Christmas says that as soon as peace has been restored in Honduras he will return to the United States and answer the charges against him.
 General Bonilla's message, dated Ceiba, Honduras is as follows:
 Associated Press, New Orleans:
 "The federal grand jury which returned the indictments in the Hornet case prob ably did not know that the Hornet had been sold by a representative of Jo- seph w. Beer and purchased by F. Davi- di as shown by a document executed before a notary public, according to our laws. The United States consul at Rua- tan, Honduras, approved the transac- tion the documents were filed with him and he must have transmitted them to his government.
 (Signed) MANUEL BONILLA.'
 General Christmas. who Is at Puerto Cortez Honduras. says:
 q have not violated the neutrality laws and if the grand jury at New Or leans has indicted me a great mistake has been made. When. the war. Is over I will return to the United States and answer the charges"
 Washington, February 21.-The mes sage was sent by the state depart ment to the revolutionary party through telegram to Thomas c. Daw- son. who will represent the United States as mediator at the peace con ferences. The American government will make no effort to get General Christmas and General Bonilla within the Jurisdiction of the United States while the peace negotiations are in progress.
 Should the leaders go abroad the American gunboat Tacoma. where the conferences will be held. 1t Is de- clared. they will be accorded full pro- lection even though they would be then within the Jurisdiction of the United States. s5zFt .f....
 This policy. 1t is added. is based upon the theory that the United States has assumed an obligation as mediator which was prior to the initiation of the prosecution of the men by the depart ment of justice.
 The gunbont Wheeling now at Ceiba has been placed at the disposal of Gen eral Bonilla for transporting the rep resentatives of the revolutionary lead- CTS at the conference at Puerto Cortez.
