PROTECTOItATE FOR HONDURAS?
TO Shut Out European Powers, Amer.
lean Gold viii BE Put UD.

Washington, Jan. 6.--n order to
avoid any possibility Of the interven-
ton of European powers in the af-
falrs OF Honduras in contravention
OF the Monroe doctrine, the United
States government is endeavoring to
straightcn out the tangled financial
affairs Of that country.
There Is no present intention, It
is said, at the State Department. of
establishing a financial protectorate
over Honduras similar to that which
exists In relation to San Domingo.
Much dissatisfaction is expressed by
the foreign holders of the Honduran
bonds especially those in Great Bri-
tain, and the course Of the Amcri-
can government is directed in an ef-
fort to bring about settlement that
Will be satisfactory to both Hondu-
Tas and bondholders.
American Interests Will Suffer.
The interest Of the United States
lies in the possibility of foreign in
tervention Of Honduras, unless some
satisfactory arrangement Is conclud-
"0 1t is said that the debt Of Hon
uuras, with its arrearages in accrued
interest, amounts to more than one
hundred million dollars. The inccp-
ton Of the debt dates back to 1867,
and has been increased from time to
time. The bonds have greatly depre-
ciated in values, and to-day it is said
they are being quoted on foreign OK
changes at l2h and Is cents on the
dollar.
In view Of this situation. the
bondholdcrs are very anxious to cr
feet settlement under the best
terms possible, and for this reason
the republic is negotiating with
American financierS for a loan. The
amount Of the loan which has been
suggested ranges from $7,50O.0OO
to 100000.
Plan Will Amount to American Pro-
tcctoratc?
New fOrk, Jan. Cit was said
to-day in reliable quarters that the
negotiations by the commissioner an
pointed by the Honduran govern
ment and New York bankers for rel
funding the Ilonduran governments
Indebtedness are still pending, and
that the main feature Of these ncgo-
tialiOns is loan to be secured bv
the customs receipts Of Honduras,
which NO rn1lnrfnI
treaty to be arranged with the Uni
ted States government.
The details Of the foregoing plan
nave not been given out. They
would seem to contemplate the ap-
polntment OF an American customs
officer to see that the customs re-
ccipts are collected and dispensed in
accordance with the proposed treaty
with the United States. No confr-
nation can be obtained, however, Of
reports that this will amount 10 an
American protettorate over Hondu-
ras, although it is so interpreted in
some quarters. The rcfunding OF
the lionduran external debt has
been under discussion for the last
year or more. This debt was origi-
nally contracted about forty years
ago, and consisted OF four loans,
made between 1867 and $40. The
total OF the principal amounts to
H26,992,SJ2. Payment Of interest
of the loans began to fail off soon
after the debt was incurred, and the
payments stopped entirely after
1872. The aggregate Of unpaid in
'erest up to July, 1909, was esti-
mated at $S5,359. ZOO. This made
total Indebtedness for principal and
unpaid interest of about $lO9,G47,-
2SS.

Somers Point, n. j., Jan. "a, 1911.
Editors of Pleasantville Press:
Your correspondent from Somers
Point stated that at the last meeting Of
Council everything went off with smooth
ness, and then he goes ON to say that
they sat around the table and did not
know what to do when obstacles came
up. Now this don't speak well for our
Councilmen. And, as citizen of the
Point, was surprised to learn that
Council had not appointed an auditing
committee, but had appointed Mr.. A. IL.
Higbee to do their work and to give him
500 to do the same. Now how is it they
have raised it from So to 500. 1t can
be done for $25, and it would be good
thing if it was done by somebody outside
of Somers Point. Now how can A. H.
Higbee audit his own books, he being
real estate assessor for the first ward !?
One of the Councilmen told me he did
not think that the citizens of Somers
Point should expect them to lose their
time to audit the books. If they don't
want to serve why do they go to Coun-
ell? Or, do they 90 to please some one
