work at the S. S. White dental works
at Prince Bay on Monday for strig-
ing him in the face. Hume, who had

failed to give him room and when he
| protested some one cast a slur at him
| He singled out Hume and o 10 spite

HONDURIAN REVOLT ENDS
Fugitive Rebels overtaken by NIcar-

Fugitive Rebels overtaken by NIcar-
asuan Government Troops
An uprising against the Honduran
government, started by participants
in the Nicaraguan revolt, came to a
sudden and bloody end before the
expedition got out OF Nicaragua.
The refugees. 200 in number, under
Jose Rafael Osorio. Honduran. were
overtaken by Nicaraguan government
troops at Somotaillo as they approach
ed the Honduran border.
Forty were killed, many others, in
GLIDING the leader, were wounded. All
gave up their arms and the entire
movement was speedily dispersed.
Minister Weitzel in reporting the
affair to the state department said the
refugees, who were bent upon starting
revolution against President Bon
illa's government in Honduras, had
lied from Leon when that city was
turned over to the American forces.
The complete failure OF the move
ment against Honduras is believed
not only to relieve the menace Of an
other revolution in that country, but
to mark the end OF disturbances in
Nicaragua.
