70 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. MINERS-SUE FOR DAMAGES.
