The Postoffice,
The Popular Magazines
And the People
A provision has been added
to the postoffice appropriation
bill by the Senate Postoffice
Committee without proper no
tice or public hearing. It pro
vides for an unjust, discrimin
atory and confiscatory tax on
the popular magazines. By at
taching this provision to the
postoffice appropriation bill
at the eleventh hour, all op
portunity for open discussion
and consideration by the peo
ple, the publishers and the
Senate was cut off. It was
an un-American, star chamber
proceeding, accomplished un
der presidential and political
coercion.
If this bill is passed with the pro
vision which practically exempts from
taxation magazines which have not
spoken boldly on public questions,
many of the popular periodicals will
be put out of business altogether and
the others without exception will be
seriously crippled. Even if it were
possible for the magazines to continue
in business under these new conds
tions, the people would derive no ben
eft from the measure, for until the
Postoffice department is taken out of
politics and a business-like manage
ment installed it is improbable that
any additional revenue collected will
be used economically. We urge every
friend of honest politics, economical
government and a free press to tele
graph or write an immediate protest
to their Senators and Representatives.

ARMS FOR REBEVS
IN HONDURAS NOI
TAKEN ON HORNET
Schooner Preceded Gunboat
and U. S. Officials Foiled.
Commander Tells of Revolt.
NO FEVER ON THE GUNBOAT
Associated Presi.
New York, Feb. 13.—The gunboat
Marietta, which, while on station at
Ceiba, Honduras, last month was re
ported with yellow fever aboard, has
arrived at the Brooklyn navy yard
from Key West with all hands well.
It was shown on the ship's arrival at
Key West that the suspected cases
in her crew were not yellow fever but
malaria and that Coxswain J. H. Min
er, who uied wane sne was oil Hun
uuras also nau malarial fever. Army
surgeons ordereu the Marietta here
so mat the northern climate might
give the malarial germs ineir limsn
mg stroke.
The story of the seizure of the
revolutionary gunuoat Hornet by the
commander ot me Marietta, as told
oy Ensign huwaru H. Lottis, who is
in charge ot the Marietta at her
Brooklyn anchorage, is as follows;
"There were no arms on board the
Hornet when she reached the harbor
oi Truxillo, but there was a big load
on board a schooner that preceded
her and General Christmas was not
on board the schooner, whose decks
were swarming with men. The Hor
net's papers were not satisfactory to
Commander Cooper of the Marietta,
so the Hornet was placed under sur
veillance at once. Our orders were
not to allow the Hornet to commit
any hostile act. When our captain
told General Bonilla that the Hornet
was under our eyes, he did not take
the situation *try gracefully, but
agreed that he would stop hostilities
in four days, awaiting word from the
United States.
"Commander Cooper decided that
he wbuld put five men and an offi
cer on board to watch affairs. The
five men applied some white paint
and shined up the brass work and the
appearance of the Hornet was im
proved about 100 per cent.
"We had a good chance to see Gen
eral Christmas and his followers and
he made a profound impression on
all. There seemed to be a large white
population on the island of Utilla,
some twenty-eight miles northeast
from Puerto Cortez who were ready
to fight on the Bonilla side. These
men said they were direct descend
ants of the Buccanneers of the Span
ish main.
“Our action in relation to the Hor
net was not very palatable to General
Bonilla, so after the battle of Ceiba,
when there were many badly wound
ed men we sent our hospital corps
on shore and were ministering to the
wants of the wounded, he coldly in
formed us he did not require our
medical aid.
Killing of Guerrero.
"We saw’ General Guerrero killed
at this battle on January 25. From
the deck of the Marietta I saw him
ride into certain death, although he
•did not seem to know. They fought
within 200 yards of each other-ana
near the shore and General Guerrero
riding a donkey came out and at
tempted to drive back into trenches
men he believed were his own wno
were leaving.
"The fighting was fast and furious
and with a revolver in one hand ne
was calling to the men who were ad
vancing to go back, not knowing that
trench was occupied by the enemy.
They retreated and he rode oward
the trench. When he was recognized
some one yelled ‘Guerrero’ and that
was enough.
“Fifty rifles were fired at once. T
don't kiyw how many shots took ef
fect. He nearly fell from his mount
but managed to keep on towards the
British consulate. There he toppled
over, dying in front of the consulate.”

Children Injured
Ordinary Cathartics and Pills
and Harsh Physic Cause
Distressing Complaints
You cannot be over-careful in the
selection of medicine lor children.
Only the very gentlest bowel medicine
should ever be given, except in emerg
ency cases. Ondinary pills, cathartics
and purgatives are apt to do
harm than good. They cause griping,
nausea and other distressing atter-ei
fects that are frequently health-de
stroying and a lite-lasting annoyance.
We personally recommend and guar
antee Rexall Orderlies as the safest
and most dependable remedy tor con
stipation and associate bowel disor
ders. We have such absolute laith 1
in the virtues of this remedy that we ।
sell it on our guarantee ot money back ’
in every instance where it falls to give '
entire satisfaction, and we urge all in I
need of such medicine to try it at our
risk.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten like can
dy. They are particularly prompt and
agreeable in action, may be taken at
any time, day or night; do not cause
diarrhoea, nausea, griping, excessive
looseness or other un*esirable effects.
They have a very natural action upon
the glands and organs with which they
come in contact, act as a positive and
regulative tonic upon the relaxed mus
cular coat of the bowel and its dry
mucous lining; remove irritation, over
come weakness, tone and strengthen
the nerves and muscles, and restore
the bowels and associate organs to
more vigorous and healthy activity.
Rexall Orderlies completely relieve
constipation, except when of a surgi
cal character. They also tend to over
come the necessity of constantly tak
ing laxatives to keep the bowels in
normal condition. Two sizes ot pack
ages, 10 cents and 25 cents. Remem

REBELS DEFEAT LUQUE
WITH LUSS OF 25 MEN
(Continued From Page One)
these old men with hands tied behind
their backs, lying riddled with bullets.
Theif heads were crushed with an
axe. and one was slashed across the
face by a saber. That such an act
could hve been committed by soldiers
of a socalled civilized nation would
seem almost incredible.
Protest to Washington.
A number of Americans viewed the
bodies, photographs were taken and
several signed an affidavit describing
the fiendish incident. This sworn
statement will be sent to Washing
ton. A dramatic incident followed
the discovery of the four murdered
men. A government soldier had been
found wounded in the field. He had
been cared for and fed.
When the murdered men were
found several insurgents made a rush
for the plaza in Mulato to get revenge
by killing this wounded soldier. In
the crowd was a son and a nephew
of one of the aged martyrs. Like a
crazed mob they ran yelling into the
plaza and dragged the soldier into
the street.
Many argued against killing him.
but others maddened by the sight of
the butchered old men. drew their
pistols and declared that they would
kill any man that tried to stop them.
At that foment Ortega, the insurgent
commander, rode into the plaza and
called a halt.
Ortega Halts Revenge.
“My children,” he said. “I have had
I a home laid In ruins and a wife and
j babies driven naked and starving into
the hills and I am not yet ready to
kill an unarmed wounded man.”
The rage faded from the eyes of the
crowd and only one, the son. stepped
forward to take the soldiers life. Or
tega drew his pistol, and said: “It
would break my heart to have to kill
a comrade, but we shall not i>e mur
derers, like the soldiers of Diaz."
The wounded soldier. was picked up
mumbling his prayers in terror, and
removed to a shanty.
In the two days battle the pronun
ciados lost only one man killed and
one wounded. The dead man. Hilario
Sanchez, was shot while battering In
the door of a house with the Scotch
man, F. S. McCombs, to get at a
squad of soldiers. McCombs entered
the house alone and drove the fed
erals out, killing one of them. He is
a soldier of fortune, who has earned
the title of "El Diablo" among the
Insurgents. His home is in Seattle.

During the entire fight the insur
gents forced the fighting. The fed
erals advanced along the road to
within five hundred yards of the
town. When fired on they halted

A battle line was formed with the
infantry on the left, resting on the
Rio Grande and the cavalry guarding
the right flank. A flanking party ot
sixteen insurgents 'drove in the in

in three times. The battle started at
10 o'clock February 7 and lasted until
9 o’clock the night of the Bth.
The federals had 400 soldiers in
the field and the insurgents mustered
about 200 men. During the second
day's fighting the federals were com
pletely surrounded and were driven
back each time a sortie was attempt
ed.
In the evening Ortega made an in

detachments and found that their am

the federals began their retreat the
insurgents were not able to halt them,

These men were wounded and died
