pending certain laws after Spanish Hon
duras had been declared in a state of
siege on December 7, President Davlla took
a step, which went far to remove a potent
cause of anlmostlty In a large section of
the country toward the government.
The laat session of congress enacted
Statute practically paralysing the shipping
trade along the roast and with neighbor
lng islands. Under its terms a merchant
could not sell and ship goods to other Hon
duran ports.
With the president supreme, following
the declaration of a state of siege, Davlla' s
first act was to suspend the law.
The president also suspended another
law, which reduced the duty on cotton
goods 20 per cent.
