REVOLUTION RUMOR .FLYS THICK ANDFAST Boat Loaded With Arms Stopped at New Orleans CASTRO IS LOCATED Venezuelan Man of Many Troubles Is Believed on Board Steamer
 Grostuck-Estrada on Way
 to New Orleans
CASTRO IS LOCATED

Ceiba, Honduras, June 14.-(Via Wire less to New Orleans. l-Local authorities today confirmed the report that the sup ply of arms and ammunition which was scheduled to leave Mobile yesterday on the Norwegian steamship Harald are for the Honduran government No credence Is given here to rumors of another early revolution in this country, but the gov ernment is preparing to fully equip sev- eral regiments of infantry with modern rifles.
 l There is no foundation for the report that the steamer Siren, which suddenly appeared in these waters in February, after a mysterious mission from Norfolk had sailed from Gulfport, Miss, with arms and ammunition intended for revo- lutionists. The siren is laid up at Rua- tan Island.
 Another wild report circulated in New Orleans is that which connected General Lee Christmas with alleged revolutionary plots, said to be matching in that city. General Christmas is not on unfriendly terms with the Honduran government officials, as was stated, nor is he plan ming to go to New Orleans within the next few days. Following his resigna- ton as governor of Cortez, General Christmas went to Tegucigalpa, the capr ital. where he is now chief of police.
 Everything is quiet along the north coast of the country and no reports of trouble in the interior have been received here.
 New Orleans, Junee 14.-The large con- signment of war material which was billed for shipment from Mobile yester- day on the steamer Harald for Ceiba- Honduras, and which was held up by or der of the Honduran consul in Mobile, consisted of 1000 .modern rifles and So1, 600 rounds of ammunition. The shipment was addressed to B." Ceiba Honduras. The ship owners declared it was for the Honduran government, but not a single official of that government in this coun- try appeared to have any knowledge of the shipment.
 The arms were purchased in New York by a New Orleans man for s24,650 cash. Government agents here declare that there is no motive for believing that the Honduran government would delegate this particular man to make such a purchase. The name of the man, who is now said to be on the Pacific coast, was withheld.
 Mobile, June 14.-The Norwegian steam CT Harald, while under way this morning, sailing having been delayed, was stopped on an order from the Honduran consul, Drew Linard, the 1000 rifles and large amount of ammunition taken off the ves- sel and stored in the warehouse of the steamship company.
 Lnard, when asked for his reasons why the shipment had been stopped, said that there was a misunderstanding as to the destination of the shipment and that they would be shipped by the next steamer to another point, the name of which the consul would not give. He said, in fact, instead that there was nothing to the report about any trouble in Hon duras.
 | The guns and ammunition were removed under the direction of the United States customs officials.

Porto Barrios, Guatemala, June 14.7-Juan J. Estrada, former president of Nicara- qua, sailed Monday on the United Fruit steamer Seredia for New Orleans. After short stay in New Orleans he expects to go to Washington for a consultation with state department officials concerning the future of his country.
 Senor Estrada denied any connection with a general Central American revolu- tionary plot and declared that the stories that he had planned to establish a sep arate republic out of the northern half of Nicaragua were without the slightest foundation. After resigning the presi- dency of Nicaragua and delivering the reins of government into the hands of Vice President Adolfo Diaz, Senor Es- trada came direct to Guatemala City, where he has remained for the past sev- eral weeks. While there he had several conferences with President Cabera.

Thursday will be Thanksgiving day,

term as president of the United states.
However, long prior to that time It was
recognized land observed as a festival.
AS long ago as when the Pilgrim fathers
were settling along the Massachusetts

November, day was set aside as
period for prayer and giving thanks for
the bounteous harvest Of the preceding
season.
Since the time Of Lincoln the date of
Thanksgiving day has been set by the
president of the United states. And
while the occasion is observed as an oc-
casion for giving thanks, to great
degree, it has beoo ne an event marking
family gatherings around the family
table, where bountiful dinners are spread
and eaten, Then, too, Thanksgiving has
become an epoch in sporting circles, as
this is the day that marks the closing
of the foot ball season OF the year, 1t is
the day when ali OF the college teams
meet and contest for the honors of the
gridiron. 1t Is also the day when the
business and laboring man enjoy period
of rest, for no man, woman or child
would any more think Of working on
Thanksgiving than on the Fourth Of
July. AS, o. result. IL has become a gen.
eral and recognized holiday, not only in
the United States, but in every civilized
country, as well.
Thanksgiving being movable feast,
its date is fixed by the president. as the
last Thursday in November, the act of
congress making the day holiday giving
him this authority, Each year, soon after
the president has Issue his proclamation
