In covjunction with the refugee Guar diola, they contempluted a general invasion of Honcuras, aud a subversion of the liberal adminis. tation of that State.

She had lett her. husband on one or two ovcasions, but the latter had forced ber to return and again live with him. Her case excited the commiseration of the prisouer and a fellow workman named John Moyer, and the two agreed to give the woman money to assist her in fetting away from her husband. ‘hia, Muller says they did, and the woman went away in a stage. Meyer and the prisoner lived togotber in a shanty {n the pines, and for some reasn Mullbeiser their agency ia the dis- sppenrsare of bis wife. Tbe husband went to-their cabin, broke open the door, and domanded his wife. A squabble took place between the parties, and the two friends were more than a match for the infu- riated man. Thia.fight was not attended with any serious resnits. Several other affrays, groving out of the same cause, occurred at subsequent I. Finally, one day some time afterwards, Muller and Mullbeizer met at a cabin, kept ax a store by "Squire Sooy, the old quarrei was revived, and ser struck the prisoner over the head with a amali stick. Tne blow was not a serious one. The partios clenched, and the prisoner struck his ees several severe blows about the temple with his fist.

Muller accordingly determined to make a confession, which he patin execution and requested the Ame- une Consul to send him to the United Siates for trial. The prisoner isbut 23 years of age.
