English Paper In Honduras.

4 new weekly newspaper, the Re-
porter, printed in both English and
Spanish. has commenced publication
In Ceiba, Honduras. Although only a
four-page journal. 1t is, as far as can
be learned, the first paper OF this kind
to be published in Honduras. A note
worthy feature is that, although half
the paper is in the English language
and devoted to the interests of the
Americans and other English-speaking
peoples in Ceiba, the paper ,s entirely
the enterprise Of native Hondurans.
