Puerto COrteZ, Honduras NOVenDeT 1. Delayed in transmission.)-Gov ment troops won a decisive victory Sun day at Cemayagua in pitched battle with 200 revolutionists under the lead ership of pr Ochoa Velasquez, mem- Der of the cabinet of Honduras. The reports which reached here today did not give the number of killed and to be heavy. Velasquez escaped into Salvador.
 Another slight engagement occurred Sunday at San Pedro. Sula, where a number of rebels were wounded and SS captured while planning an attack upon military headquarters in that city. Still more serious trouble Is reported on the Salvadorean frontier, where General Carias is reported to be at the head of large body of revolutionists. Reports travel slowly across the coun- try and no details of this uprising have reached here. General Carias is said to have invaded Honduras from Salvador on october 21 with several hundred former Zelaya adherants who have been exiled for the past year.
 In connection with this uprising trouble is threatened between Honduras and Guatemala on the one hand, and the government of Salvador on the other. Guatemala and Honduras have made demand upon Salvador to either deport or put in prison large number of exiles of the two former countries who are charged with fomenting revo- lutions Guatemala Is said to have massed 25000 troops along the Salva- dorean border and Honduras has placed along the border several thousand well armed troops. Nicaragua, it is said, has given the Honduras and Guate- ma1an governments assurances that she will assist in enforcing their demands against Salvador.
 The revolution was aimed at the over- throw of the Bertrand Bonilla govern ment and 1t was planned that the up- rising should simultaneously break on the Salvadorean border at Comayagua in the interior, and at San Pedro Sula on the north Sunday, the opening day of the general elections for president. The government, however, had made preparations for just such an emergency and believes that the victories at Comayagua and San Pedro Sula will mean the death of the revolution.
 pr. Ochoa Velasquez slipped out or Tegucigalpa, the capital, under cover of darkness and joined his band of 200 men at Villa San Antonio, 12 miles from Comayagua He attacked Co
 hot Ia for sevral hours. Besides the killed and wounded the government troops cap tured a number of prisoners. but pr. Velasquez and some or ms 'eu'ehan'' escaped.
