CAPTURED
UNITED STATES CRUISER TACOMA
TAKES THE HORNET
IN CHANGE.
Action in Accordance With Instruc.
tions from Washington to Prevent
Bombardment Of Honduran Ports
Where American Property Was in
Peril.

New York, Jan. ga special to
the Herald from Truxillo. Honduras
by wireless to Key West, says that
after two hours of defiance from Gen
Bonilla, Commander Archibald H
Davis, of the United States cruiser Ia.
coma, Friday afternoon seized the arm.
ed ship Hornet, Gen. Bonilars chief
asset, cast the rebel crew ashore
manned her with gunners and engi
neers and ordered her out of the inner
harbor.
The Hornets recent movements I'D
and down the coast were taken by
Commander Davis as threatened hos.
tilities against Honduras. The Herald's
dispatch says that the Tacoma steamed
into port early in the afternoon after
a hasty run to Ceiba, to see that no dis.
turbances had broken out there.
Officer Bears Message.
Commander Davis Immediately sent
an officer bearing message to Gen.
Bonilla, and declaring his intention of
taking charge of the vessel in accord
ance with instructions from the Wash.
ington government, to prevent bonn.
bardment of Honduran ports where
American property was in peril. Gen.
Bonilla curtily informed Commander
Davis emissary that the Hornet was
his property, that he had purchased the
craft for war purposes and intended
using her.
Allows Two Hours.
Upon receiving this message, Com.
mander Davis sent an ultimatum that
he allowed but two hours for the rebel
leader to consider. On the expiration
of this time Gen. Bonilla had made no
effort to comply with the American
officers commands.
His only words were, Its up to
you"
Commander Davis then passed close
to the Hornet, guns trained on the lit.
tie ship. The Hornets commander and
Gen. Bonilla offered no resistance to a
boarding party, according to the Her.
AIDS dispatch. Her crew was sent
ashore in small boats.

REPORT is CONFIRMED
AT NAVY DEPARTMENT

Washington, Jan. 23.-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 force
from the American gunboat Tacoma,
was confirmed in a wireless dispatch
received by the navy department from
Commander Cooper of the United
States steamship Marietta.
Hornet Is Detained.
The dispatch merely said it had been
found necessary to place a force on
board to detain the Hornet, and added
that details would be reported later.
The state department is anxiously
awaiting information to determine its
future course.
The attorney general is investigating
whether the Hornet has violated the
neutrality laws of the United States
and pending the result, the state de-
partment announced the vessel would
not be permitted to do any act of hos
tility against Honduras.
Blow 10 Anticipated.
The action of Commander Davis of
the Tacoma in boarding the Hornet, it
is assumed here, was based on an in
tention of the revolutionists to strike
q telling blow. The naval officers in
Honduran waters were given consid'
cradle latitude in carrying out their
instructions to prevent an assault by
the Hornet.
The Hornet sailed from New Orleans
ostensibly for Cape Gracias, on the
northeastern coast of Nicaragua. II
has not been established where the YES
sci received her guns. After Gen. Bo'
nilla captured Ruatan island, of the
coast OF Honduras, he appointed OIL
Gals for the government Of the island.
Then, it is said. the Hornet was
transferred from her owners to the
revolutionists for q consideration OF y
and q mortgage on the vessel. Tne
Hornet was Immediately transferred
from American, to Honduran registry
and raised the Honduran flag, but inc
Honduran papers were issued BY inc
Bonilla appointees.
The validity OF these papers is one
of the questions that are now being
looked into. Omcials here generans
regard them as irregular.
