CLOSER TOUCH WITH MEXICO.
New Frisco Connection With Proposed
Line From Capital.

Brownsville, Tex, Nov. 14.-If pres
ent plans are fulfilled 1t will not be
more than two or thr.-e years until
the United States is brought into much
closer touch with the capital of Mex
leo and the vast territory bordering
the Gulf than the existing lines of
railway give this country. The final
survey CT the route for the proposed
raiIroad to be constructed between
Matamoros, situated across the Rio
Grande opposite Brownsville, to the
City of Mexico via Tampico, has been
made and is said to De in the hands Of
the federal department of communi-
cations and public works for formal
approval. The proposed road will be
a part of the National Railways Of
Mexico. controlling interest in which
is owned by the Mexican government.
It will connect here with the st. Louis.
Brownsville & NJ exico, which is a part
OF the Frisco system. The route of the
0fatamoros-City of Mexico line will b
almost direct between those two points
and it is said that it will shorten the
distance to about $50 miles as COM
pared with 303 miles, which is the
present shortest rail route to the CAPT
tai of that country via Laredo.
This road. it is said, would have
been constructed by the Frisco inter
ests had not the Mexican governn ent
taken hold of the project. with a view
of pushing it to an eariv com Dletion.
It will, however. it is expected, be one
of the most valuable feeders for the
Frisco, as 1t will make that line the
most important connection of internal
tional ira ffic Of any road leading to
Rio Grande gateways. It is not known
when construction will be started on
the proposed line. but it is said to be
billed for the lear future.

dispute arose between these two men
about their claims when Hubbard
pulled his gun and shot and killed
Haley. The friends of Haley were
numerous and they asked for justice.

the slayer was placed in the small

pretending to be drunk staggered in
to the room where Hubbard was and
knocking down the curtain so Hub

through the window which took eff

then dispersed, thinking that he was

WAR IN HONDURAS.
BOnilla PrOclaims Himself Constitu-
tiOnaI President of Honduras.

New Orleans, Jan. 2.-Re-entering
the country over which he formerly
ruled and from which he was prac-
tically banished after being deposed
two years ago, Manuel Bonilla today
proclaimed himself constitutional
president" of the republic Of Hon.
duras
The news Of the landing Of the
BOnilla revolutionary forces on the
Atlantic coast of Honduras, near
Puerto Cortes, and of the issuance Of
the former presidents proclamation,
was received tonight by q member of
the Bonilla junta here in a cable from
Puerto Barrios.
combined naval and lard attack
upon Puerto Cortes is expected at
any moment. 1t is said to be the
plan Of Bonilla to shell the town with
the gunboat Hornet If the comman-
dant refuses to surrender, and to
capture or sink the Honduran gun
boat Tatumbla, which is anchored in
shallow water near the docks. An ad-
vance grard Of calvary is to cut the
railroad line opposite Omoa, and a
line Of infantry with one company of
artillery is to march against Puerto
Cortes.
Advices received in New Orleans
from Puerto Cortes tonight state that
Davila has 500 trained troops in
Puerto Cortrs in addition to a small
battery Of machine guns. The dis
patch added that the loyalty of these
men were doubled. Just how much
opposition would be given Bonilla in
undertaking to overthrow Iavila and
again place himself at the head of
the stormy little Central American
republic is largely a matter of con-
lecture.

MAKES TROUBLE ALL AROUND.
Souvenir Cards Should Not Be Mailed
In Transparent Envelopes.

The local post Office authorities say
that a great many people of this cit;
do not seem to recognize the fact that
when they mail cards, souvenir or 9TH
erWise, in transparent envelope that
they must put the stamp on the out
side of the cnevlope, or otherwise the
mail will be held for postage. Many
put the stamp on the card and then
enclose the card in the envelope. The
stamp is wasted unless it is put on the
outside of the envelope. Moreover, It
requires a tWo-cent stamp to carry q
card in a transparent envelope, Il
there is writing on the card whether
the envelope be scaled or unsealed.
This is common mistake. and i
makes a great deal of extra bother for
the mail clerk, and also to the person
TO whom it is sent. because postage
has to be collected from the person re-
eeiving the card.
