Characteristic Doings in Teguci galpa After Nicaragua Had Licked Honduras. HONDURANS ARE FULL OF FIGHT So Full They Fight Each Other Over Who Is Boss. tfovel Government Is Set Vp Which Precipitates Trouble Nicarafjuaus "Arrest" Two Hostile Armies and Scrap Ends. merto Cortes, Honduras, April 23, via New Orleans, April GO. Fresh fighting has occurred in ITonduras, the latest being a battle In the streets of the capital city between the factions of the victorious Honduran rebels, who a few weeks ago helped Nicaragua overthrow the government. A letter which escaped the censorship and arrived here says that the troops of tlr Junta opened hostilities among themselves on April 8. The fighting was brought on because of a somewhat unusual kind of government which the leaders had tried. Three of the?e leaders Rosales, Bustillo and Castro agreed to take turns as president, each .erring fifteen days. That Is What He Was There For. It developed, however, that each during his term attempted to strengthen his party by dividing up the patronage where it would do him the most good. Finally the friends of Telicarp Bonllla proclaimed Bustillo provisional president without ar fifteen-day clause, and the opposing factions did the same for Rosales. Then fighting began. Troops of both sides occupied vhnt Is known as University place, adjoining the palace. Rosales from a window of the presidential ralaco shouted to his partisans to open fire. The other side replied, merchants shut their shops and a battle was on in the principal business streets of Tegucigalpa. Badly-aimed bullets showered upon the houses, but caused only seven deaths. Almost Comic Opera Ending. A dramatic almost comic opera ecene closed this battle when General Leguel R. Davila, who is now provisional president, rushed among the combatants and persuaded their leaders to 6top the fighting. Later another battle was started near the town, but this time the Nicaraguan Invaders marched up and literally arrested all the troops of both factions. This effectively stopped the fighting. Net a shot was fired by the Nlearaguans. Later Davila became president with the faction leaders holding the ministerial offices. When the Nicaraguans Go. The Nicaraguaus continue to police the capitol, and it Is safe to say that If President Zelaya withdraws his forces from Honduras the strongest faction will take possession and proclaim a president of Its choice. Those same conditions may make it necessary for the United States gunboats to continue indefinitely their protection" over foreign interest?. GRAFT HITS OLD LONDON (Those Guilty Are on Trial and tho Sums Involved Are Not Large Bribery the Charge. London. April 30.

The Land company is pushing the work on the sewers all that it can, but finds that the houses will not be ready for occupancy until late in the summer on account of the delay that has occurred in the sewer building.

Culvert came aboard and started the pumps, steam being fortunately In the boilers, and soon had the water, which was dangerously close to the gates, re duced in volume.
