Gu look in Negotiations for
ArmistiCe in Honduras.
Opposing Factors Can't Agree
Upon Armistice Terms.
Federal Officials Insist That Status
Quo Be Maintained.

Washington Fen. -~77..--'ihe negotia-
| tions looking to the establishment of
an armistce in Honduras is seriously
threatened with a deadlock. This IS
due to the fact that government and
revolutionary authorities have assum-
ed attitudes directly opposed in re-
gard to the conditions which shall gov
ern the acceptance of an armiStlce.
The hitch in the negotiations develop
ed today in dispatches received by the
state department from Tegucigalpa and
Puerto Cortez.
Pending the proposed discussion be-
tween representatives of Gen. Bonilla
and President Davilla for the purpose
of esta blishing truce the govern
ment officers insist that the status quo
in the situation shall be maintained
and the revolutionists shall not be al
lowed to enter Puerto Cortez or San
Pedro Sula which have been evacuat-
ed by the federal forces.
General Bonilla declares that he will
accept the armistice only on condition
that he is permitted to occupy Puerto
Cortez Puerto Cortez is the most i'm
portant port on the northern coast of
Honduras and as the federal forces
abandoned it because the revolutionary
army intended to capture it, it seems
| that the leader of the revolution is
unwilling to lose the advantages which
would be gained by it's occupation.
