terday at La Ceiba radioed the Navy
Department summary of reports
! from the four principal ports, indi-
eating that none of them was seriously
| endangered by the instruction and
that the insurgents had shown no par
ticular animus toward foreigners.
Threats against Trujillo, La Ceiba
and Tela apparently had been checked
by government troops. Vice Consul
Warren G. Stewart at La Ceiba said
the situation there had become quiet
and the railroad running inland had
been cleared of insurgents. At Los
Planes, which the insurgents had raid
ed, none had been killed and no dam
age done.
Teia, Capt. Meyers said, had been
attacked by only 10 insurgents, who
had been driven of, leaving the sit
uation satisfactory" At Puerto Cortiz
there had been no disturbance of any
kind
Reports had reached Trujillo of fight
ing in the Aguan River Valley between
loyal forces and revolutionists, who
were believed to number not more than
200 men.
The government commandante at
Trujillo had furnished a guard of Is
men for the foreign residential district
at Puerto Castillo and appeared to have
the situation well under control.
Temple Backs U. S. Policy.
Secretary Stimson's recent statement
that armed force would not be en-
ployed to protect Americans in the in
terror of Nicaragua was said today by
Chairman Temple of the House Foreign
Affairs Committee to conform to es-
tablished policies in foreign relations.
Short of assuming protectorate-
which we do not want to do-over Mic
aragua, we could hardly go into the In
terror Of the country and have our Ma
rines act as Nicaraguan police force'
said the Pennsylvania.
I'm providing for safety in the sea-
port cities We are not going beyond
what is frequently done in disturbed
areas"
Through Minister Lay the American
Government promised representatives OF
European nations that the American
forces also would protect their nationals
in the north coast towns.
German diplomatic representatives at
Managua and Guatemala asked that
American forces afford protection to 20
Germans in the Puerto Cabezas area:
A German missionary was reported
killed April II in the Prinzapolka dis
trict, inland from Puerto Cabezas.
In the development of the troubled
banana-producing region American
concerns have invested approximately
S66 900 900, $4,000, 900 in plantations
and equipment for handling fruit for
the market and $4,000, 900 in COM
munications, including railroads from

the colony brought here by the U. s. S.
Asheville said today.
OF five persons brought here by the
Asheville, only one, Edwin Fagot, mer-
chant at Cabo Gracios a dos, was an
American. Two were women, one Of the
Dutch and the fourth British citizen
A sixth refugee, E. c. Lester, former
operator of the Tropical Radio station
at Cabo GraciaS Dtos, arrived in his
own boat.
Saw Attack From Afar.
Lester, warned by friends that the
insurgents particularly had sought him
with threats to torture and mutilate
him, had slept at night some distance
down the river from the settlement and
had thus escaped the attack, which he
saw from afar. He returned to the
town early Sunday morning and found
his radio station out of commission.
He said there were only about 20
men in the insurgent band, which was
led by Abraham Rivera. Some dis
sension existed in the gang because
of Rivera's attempt to save the lives
OF certain foreign friends. Rivera, he
said. once had been deprived of COM
mand because he had failed to kill for
eigners in some of his raids.
Partner Remains.
Albert Fagot, brother of Edwin and
his partner in the mercantile business
at Cabo Gracias Dios, remained in
the settlement, planning to leave later.
A Managua dispatch today quoted
Gen. Matthews, Marine Corps COM
mandant of the Nicaraguan National
Guard. as saying that the Guardia
had the outlaw situation well in hand.
He said the Guardia numbered 2,100
men, covering $4,000 square miles of
territory. Reinforcements are being
sent to all places where attacks are
considered possible

VIII See Banker Regarding Matters Of
Personal Finance.

PefSOnal F1nance.
PARIS, April 81 O0.-Spain's exiled
King and Queen broke up their newly
formed Paris establishment today to
seek o new home where there will be
less chance of an aSsaSsin's bullet
thwarting the hopes OF Alfonso to re-
turn to his throne.
Alfonso before noon left the Hotel
Meurice by motor car for Calais, to
take Cross-Channel steamer to Eng
land, where, gossip had 1t, he was to
confer with his banker regarding mat
tiers of personal finance, which have
been complicated by the revolution at
Madrid and the economic slump in
America.
Queen Victoria and the five Infantes
and Infantas were ready for the motor
car trip this afternoon to Fontainebleau,
where the entire second floor of the
Hotel Savoy has been refitted for them:
Alfonso, returning April %, will find
them already established there.
Third Son En- Route to Paris.
Alfonso's third son, Prince Don Juan,
whom most Spanish monarchistS con-
slider the logical heir to the throne, is
en- route to Paris from Italy. While
Alfonso Is in England he probably will
make arrangements for Don Juan, who
is q handsome youngster not yet 10,
to enter school near London.
A special police force was taken to
Fontainebleau today to assure the
safety of the royal exiles. One Of the
principal reasons for the move from
Paris was the fear of police that among
the city crowds they had less chance of
preventing assassination of Alfonso by
some fanatic.
Some comment has been aroused here
by a Marseille dispatch to the Paris
Midi which says that Spaniard, badly
burned about the face and in a hos
pital there, had to leave Spain precip-
itately after he had distributed tracts,
just before Alfonso's departure. de-
manding the monarch's death.
His name was given as Vicente Bro
ton, born in Seville in 1908. He main
tains that he was burned while stocking
aboard ship, but since he refuses to
give either the name of the vessel or
its master. police are investigating on
the hypothesis that he may have been
injured by premature explosion Of
dynamite cartridge.
Short Stay Expected.
Fontainebleau officials were informed
today that since the royal exileS were
travelling incognito official reception
would not be necessary. There are only
six other guests in the Hotel Savoy. so
the royal family will have 1t almost to
themselves. It Is located about a mile

Foreign women and children, princi-
pally Americans, of Tela and Trujillo,
coast cities of Honduras, today sought
safety aboard ships in the two harbors,
from attacks Of revolutionary armies ha-
RAISING the north coast.
Several hundred Americans along the
northeast seaboard were not thought to-
day to have been IN real danger from
the rebel armies who, some believe to be
in league with the SANDING insurgent
movement of Nicaragua, but fear Is felt
that developments may increase their
hazard.
The Honduran Congress last night
imposed martial law on the entire coun-
try. All available troops were called to
the colors and civil guard groups were
organized to aid in putting down the
revolt, which the government claims is
sponsored by irresponsible discontents

the Spanish royal family would stay at
Fontainebleau only q comparatively
short time. It was said that the logical
solution Of exile for persons Of their
family attachments and wealth would
be to spend the Summer In England
and the Winter in Cannes or elsewhere

The Minister said the American
cruiser Memphis, lying of Ceiba, also
was in a position to protect Americans
at Tela. The cruisers Trenton and
Marblehead were due at Puerto Castillo
and Puerto CorteZ, respectively, early
today.
American Vice Consul Cote at Puerto
Castillo reported to the State Depart
ment that all in the Trujillo-Puerto

fected by the revolutionary outbreak.

promised protection for American and
other foreign lives and property.
WATSON said he visited San Pedro
Sula Sunday night to reaSSure Ameri-
cans and foreigners living there.
While three ships covered American
forces in Honduran waters, four others
were assigned to Nicaraguan seacoast
towns to the south. The aircraft car

squadron, went from Bluefields, still
farther south.
No Foreign Casualties Reported.
The gunbcat Asheville, which had
been at Puerto Cabezas, departed for
Cape Gracias a Dies, nearer the Hon.
duran border. Another gunboat, the
Sacramento, remained at Bluefields,
where a landing party of 81 Marines
guarded the town while Nicarsguan Ma
tional Guardsmen went inland in search
of insurgents.
The three American cruisers assigned
to Hcnduran ports were told to adhere
TO the new policy of limiting their &C.
