 BY WIRELESS.
UNCLE SAM TAXES A HAND
Revolutionary Craft Restrained From Attack Pending Decision From Washneton-Have Neutrality
 Laws Been Violated.

Washington, Jan. 24.-The report that the Hornet, Gen. Bonilla's revolu- tionary gunboat, which has been pro- noting his cause along the coast of Honduras, has been boarded by a force from the American gunboat Tacoma, has been confirmed in a wireless dis patch received by the navy depart ment from Commander Cooper Of the United States steamer Marietta.
 A corporal and 12 marines from the United States cruiser Marietta are sta toned in the railway yards at Ceiba.
 The dispatch said it had been found necessary to place force on board in order to detain the Hornet, and added that details would be reported later The state department is anx- iously awaiting these in order to de- termine its future course.
 Check Kept on Vessel.
 The attorney general is investigat- ing the question whether the Hornet has violated the neutrality of the United States, and, pending the result, the state department announced that the vessel would not be permitted to commit any actual hostile act against Honduras.
 The action of Commander Davis of the Tacoma in boarding the Hornet 1t is assumed here, was based upon an intention of the revolutionists to strike a telling blow against the coast of the
 
 duran waters were given considerable latitude in carrying out their instruc- tions. to prevent an assault by the Hornet
 The Hornet sailed from New Or leans, ostensibly for Cape Gracias, on the northeastern coast of Nicaragua. It has not been established where the vessel received her guns. After Gen. Bonilla captured Ruatan Island, off the coast of Honduras, he appointed officials for the government of the island. taking the place of appointees of President Dayilla.
 Papers Are Questioned.
 Then. it Is said, the Hornet was transferred from her owners to the revolutionists for consideration or s1 and a mortgage on the vessel. The Hornet was immediately transferred from American to Honduran registry, and raised the Honduran nag, but the Honduran papers were issued by the Bonilla appointees. The validity Of these papers is one of the questions which are now being looked into. Offi- cials here generally regard them as irregular
 Bonilla, tied up as he is, is reported to have communicated with Lee Christmas. the American soldier or fortune, and Is also said to have wired New Orleans adherents certain ln- structions regarding the forwarding or supplies, the plans for the receipt or which the capture of the Hornet rem dered futile.

CAESAR RODNEY'S RIDE

Jobbers and contractors swell
Some would raise the sunken
Spaniard,
And her guns of brass would sell;
(2)
Some were boiling salt for armies,
Some were tanning leather brown,
Some were hauling lead and pow
der
Chincoteague to Chestertown. (O
War was up and war is chaos;
War is fear and war is spite,
Woe to him who bringeth warfare
Lest he have immortal right!
And the people felled the flag-pole,
(4
Sold the flag Gor fangnan's pence,
Cheered King George and peace
and plenty,
And the Congress Kissed intense.
Caesar Rodney, born of gentry,
Sheriff, judge and general all,
Knew the lower counties thorough
And each soul by name could call.
.Nhigs and Broadkills
kulkers,
Maryland men of Marshy Hope,
Folks of Wycomico and St. Mar
And Virginias Of Pocomoke.
Some he sent for, some he went
for,
Through the pines by millponds
black;
Some he soothed and some he
threatened
With a politicians knack;
But the camp lay back at Dover,
And both bays the British held,
And his work was never over,
Though the leaders he had quelled
Little e-headed, merry-featured,
Full of fire and appetite,
Caesar Rodney loved the table
And the ladies who invite; 90
Midst the iairest of the Ouakers
Round their church at Pilot Town,
Sarah Rowland was the gayest,
Though she wore the Quaker
gown.
Niece of merchant, Joshua Fisher,
Widow, witty, wealthy, fine,
Roguish were her eyes with plea
sure,
And she kept the best of wine;
When their sat o'er their Madeira
And dish of terrapin,
She as juicy as a reed bird,
He, the rail bird, odd and thin.
Like the marshes in the summer
How they twittered futtering,
And wha. scolding he took from
On her poor, abused king,
Thee a Rodney, thee a Caesar,
And thy cousin in the fleet, G)
TO be leading ragged rebels. ~
And she stamped her pretty feet.
Then she drew her dark eyes
nearer,
Smoothed his silk patch with her
hand,
Said he was the only rebel
She could pardon in the land;
And his glass she filled moreover,
And her maid was fresh to see,
And they held this soldier rover
In soft captivity.
Fast the days of June were passing
Scarce he knew it was July,
For the courting and the CHASING,
And the twinkle in her eye.
All his couriers and dispatches
Ceased, and in the pleased sus-
pense,
Naught was said of Philadelphia
And the public consequence.
Joshua Fisher and the Ouakers,
Dropping in with velvet paws,
Brought bottle or chicken,
Bland as to a brotller-in-law's:
larry thee, friend Rodney wor-
thy;
For we need thy counsel more;
Neither news or friends come for
thee,
Congress sits with guarded door"

Blessings on thee, Sussex maid.
Where's my horse?" Here ready
saddled.
Here your pistols, here your flask;
With hundred miles before you,
All night gallop be your task!
Down the beach-road, past the
shingled
Homes of Lewes, Rodney spurred;
Past the small old jail and Court
House,
In the starlight flashed his sword;
With one glance upon the ocean
To the north star turned his way
Sarah Rowland saw and muttered:
He will miss it by day"
Twenty hours to Philadelphia (S)
Equaled swiftest couriers powers;
Congress met at noon and Rodney
Had one horse and sixteen hours:
Two to- Cedat Creek produced
Haslet's dogs barked as he passed
- (O
Then, warmed up, his good steed
loosed him,
And through Camden winged him
One o'clock, as cock crow reck-
Oned,
Jones creek had come and gone,
Rodney bridled horse the second,
Changed the saddle and went on !;
Not a soul at home espied him,
All in silence Dover lay;
"Who comes there?" the sentry
challenged:
General Rodney: clear the way!"
At Duck Creek crossroads the
grey light
From the Jersey rose in summer,
Cantwell's Bridge at clearer day
light
Sounded to his whoop of thunder !;
And old Drawers Church panes
culver
In the marshes, as it knew him;
And New Castle by the river,
Bent its old brick gables to him.
Seven o'clock at Wilmington-town
Landlord heard his voice inciten-
ing,
Rum and sugar and a biscuit,
And another horse like lightning y
Folks on Brandywine and Naamaa
Saw his green patch, some to mock
Like another good FL Ramon,
And green banner o.: the Prophet.
Noon approached at Philadelphia,
And i'll queues, cooked hats, and
| breeches
One by one went i'll the members,
Some with scruples, some with
speeches;
On the State House steps awaited
John Mexican his friend decrepit,
| With his big square nose inflated,
And his mighty soul intrepid:

Welded to his Quaker monies. :"

Shall we fail on Delaware?"
In the tower the old bell mumbled
Striking slowly twelve o'clock.
Down the street hot horse stum-
bled,
And man in riding frock.
With green patch on his visage,
And his garments white with CRIME
Nov praise God! Mexican spoke
grimly,
Caesar Rodney is on time"
Silent hand in hand together,
Walked they i'll the great square
hall;
To the roll with aye responded,
At the clerks immortal call;
Listen to the Declaration
From the steeple to the air
Here this day is made a Nation,
BY the help Of Delaware! IN

wooden pipe here is connected with
the new steel pipe line, and there is
pressure reducer installed to lessen
the strain on the less resistabe pipe,
yet the wooden mains are spring leaks
in dozen places, showing that the
pressure is too great for them to with
stand. Should by any accident the
'ull pressure be turned on from the
reservoir, the old wooden line would
be jerked out of the ground, and
large number OF consumers left with
