PUIS CLEVER RUSE
Hundurian Soldiers Desert to
Bonilla's Forces.
Al the Head of 3,000 Men the Ex-
President Is Marching on Teguci
galpa One Hundred Americans
With Insurgent Leader, the Majority
cf Whom Are Trained Gunners,
Will Handle the Machine Guns In
Attack on the Capital.
New Orleans, Aug. 2. -Manuel
Conllla, one time president of Hon
duras, is more than half way to
Tegucigalpa, at the head of 3,000 men.
It is believed here, according to in
formation received today, that Bonil
la will strike at Tegucigalpa before
the end of the week. Included in his
force of 3,000 men, most of them
trained soldiers, are 100 Americans,
who Joined Eonilla from Eluefields
and New Orleans.
The majority of the Americans are
trained gunners who will handle Bonil
la's machine guns in the attack on the
capital, which he hopes to make,
thereby restoring to himself the lead
ership of the Honduran republic.
Donllla employed to a success con
clusion a clever ruse for the arming
and equipping o most ol his 3,000 boI
diers. Two weeks ago Incipient riot-
ings broke out. in various coast and
near coast towns of the republic.
immediately the military was sum
moned and supplied with guns and
ammunition from the national armor
ies. Then tho soldiers,-well equipped
promptly quit the service and flocked
to the banners of Bonilla.
The uprisings were carefully
planned and launched nt the direction
of Bonilla for the sole purpose of
arming his proposed followers. This
was necessary, owing to the facj that
government arms and ammunition are
not left In the care of soldiers, but are
carefully kept in government reposi
tories.
ONIONS WILL BE SCARCE
Disastrous Blight Works Havoc In
Madison County Onion District.
T'tlca, Aug. 2. Growers and dealer
In the great Northern Madison coun
ty onion district who have been antici
pating for 1910 the biggest and best
crop of onions ever grown in that sec
tion, are disheartened over the sud
den appearance of a disastrous blight,
the like of which has never been ex
perienced before.
As a result early sown fields must
be pulled this week, a full month be
fore reaching maturity, while many
late fleldt- will be abandoned alto
gether. Three hundred thousand
bushels were expected. Now there
will probably be but 150,000, making
an estimated loss of from $50,000 to
$75,000.
RABBIT AS A BASEBALL

Media, Pa., Aug. 2. Fitcher "Jack"
Krausse of tho Upland Big Four team

stition. In a practice game on the grounds
of the Media, Delaware county, club,
a rabbit Jumped out of a clump ol

Krausse did not see it, but was en
deavoring to catch a ball thrown In
from the outfield.
Before the ball arrived, however,
the rabbit lumped Into his hands, and,
thinking he had the sphere, he threw
the animal to the second baseman to
catch a runner. The latter ducked,
and the rabbit made Its escape.
