IN HONDURAS FIRES
OF REVOLT SMOULDER
Another Revolution Is Now
Said to Be Imminent.
rro OUST PRESIDENT BONILLA.
Movement Is Fostered by ex-President
Sierra Who Supported Arias For the
Presidency—People Dissatisfied with
Conduct of Government.
Mobile, Ala., Dec, 18.—Private ad¬
vice.-, received in the city indicate that
another revolution is imminent in
Honduras, which is expected to take
jdace soon after the first, of the year.
It is to be fostered by ex-President
Sierra through a special envoy, with
the evowed purpose of ousting Pres¬
ident Bonilla, the incumbent.
The details are not given.
On his retirement from the executive
chair of Honduras, President Sierra
named Arias for president, and he was
given the position. Then Bonilla or¬
ganized a revolution, conducted it suc¬
cessfully, forcing Arias from the head
of the government and taking the
place himself. That was early in the
present year, and since then it is said
there bus been au unwonted activity
along some lines, but a decrease along
others. Tho defeated people have
never been satisfied, and it is claimed
that there has been a movement on
loot from the very day of Bonilla's
accession to tit hing on another war and
restore the Arias government.
It is said also that the people are
not satisfied with the conduct of the
government and name one specific
cause—the Honduras railway. This,
it Is pointed out, was built by Eng¬
lish capital. Since its construction
not a cent—-either of interest or prin¬
cipal- has been paid the bondholders,
nnd it is asserted that the English
government intends taking cognizance
of the matter and taking measures
to enforce the payment. The taking
over of the railway by the English
government and its conduct until the
claims are paid Is one of the proposi¬
tions current in Honduras.
Those favoring the Bonilla govern¬
ment. say, however, in contravention
of this, that the government has not
been in force a year, and has not had
opportunity of paying debts other than
those necessary for immediate pur¬
chase. President Arias is said to be
in prison yet at, Teguclgapa and this
has been a constant source of dis¬
satisfaction among many of the peo¬
ple who believe that he should be
released from prison, even if he is
exiled. Ex-President Sierra is in
Nicaragua.
Tho general expectation is that war
is Imminent and that it will proba¬
bly begin early in 1901.
