It is the beginning of the end, say the; instit gents heie. With tho capture of Ceila by I.eeCliiistmas the activity of tho revolutionists ledoubled and their hands were strengthened by the capture of two gatling guns, a macliinn gun and a large quantity of ammunition for them. While they do not expect much resistance at Puerto Cortez, the leaders are milking every preparation in their power to offset any possible miscarriage of plans. Troops have been ordered forward from N'euva Armenia and to-morrow morning three schooners and two sloops will Iih despatched after the Itomern with troops and supplies for the expedition Once at I'tilla the flotilla will take on as many more troops from N'ueva Armenia and other points as possible, and carry the entire fore within striking distance of Puerto forte. The gunboat 1 now on herway to the threatened port and i expected there in the morning The Ilritlsh cruiser Krilliant will reach the port later in the day The warships will permit no fighting in the town.

The Da vila (iovernmeiit is honeycombed with disaffection and treason. To such an extent has this gone that it has been reported that officers high in the councils of the President of the republic have made overtures to the triumphant faction According to a statement made to-day Davila himself is feeling th pinch and has been Issuing frantic calls to all available troops throughout the republic to hurry to Tegucigalpa to protect the capital 'I he west coast, where the insurrection has made little headway, has been stripped bare of troops, and the mountain passes leading from the seacoast to the capita' ha- been fortified as much as possible and heavy have been placed there following the example set by his old rival, it is said that Davila has nn account with a bank in Pans and has continually on his person drafts on York and other centres to meet all H)ssible expenses of a hurried flight The insurgents became aware of these plans on the part of the President when they captured a little gasolene launch at Union, a small town near the mouth of tile Hio Union.

citiks. Were Not Told nt First of the Intercept Iok of (ienrge N. tirlnenm Let lers ilrl' Mother xway for a Month Her llrnlher nettirns From Knrope. When Ihe acquaintance of Dorothy tlarriette Camllle Arnold, missing from home since December 12, was canvassed i for any possible clue to her whereabout there were tlitee men of whom me one wnof.e letters were intercepts! as already told and revealed no knowledge on his part of the young woman's where- aimuts was Oeorgo s. tiriscom.

Jr now in Florence, Italy, Son of Oeorge OrU- com, a Pittsburg lawyer and a relative of the Philadelphia Oriscoms. Lorenzo D. Arni-trotig of the law linn of (lirvart A Armstrong, which has been acting for Dorothy's father, Francis R. Arnold, mH yesterday that Mr. Oriscom hid been under surveillance lor time beciuse tin family could not disregard any piM.dil" suggestions as to the young woman reason for leaving home.

Mr. (iliseom, who is a middle aged clubman, was paying attentions Mim Arnold last summer. After hr dis appearance the family read the letters she had left behind There were letter from all three men, with no particular significance in any, but Mr. Arnold and his legal advisers decided to put all three under There wa not any suspicion against any of them. It xtiis known that Dorothy, who had got along to the age of 25 without falling seriously in love, had shown a partiality for man no longer young, who had no profession and who spent much of his time abroad.

Her father had objected to this admirer on general grounds. His argument xvas that she should prefer a younger man who was in business or in one of the professions and making his own living. Several uf Dorothy Arnold's Bryn Muwr girl friends were aware of the situation. Douglas Henry, the father of K.llzabeth Henry, perhaps the most intimate friend of Dorothy, says his daughter told him that Mr, Arnold disliked the acquaintance. Miss Henry thought that' Doroth xx'as getting fretful and worried and she mentioned it to her father casually.

At any rate when Mr. Arnold turned over to his lawyers the letters Dorothy had left behind one of the flrat things that was done was to establish the surveillance upon two young New Yorkers and Mr. Oriscom. The latter was in Italy, tho others were here. In conducting this pa-t of the investigation Mr.

Oarvnn nnd Mr. Keith went to work with the idea thai while they might be doing some injustice nevertheless the seriousness of the case demanded that they exhaust every lead. It was Mr. Oriscom xvho was shadowed by private detectives and whose mail wa intercepted. This was explained yesterday by Mr.

Armstrong. One of the reasons that tho detective bureau has ceased active work on the case is because the family declined to put in the possession of the detectives all of tlie information that the detectives thought they should have, The detectives did not know until recently that John W. Arnold, the missing girl's brother, had been sent to Italy. did not know until they had worked on the case without result for two weeks that anybody named Oriscom was under surveillance in Italy So far as they knew until long after the private detectives had been put to work there was no suspicion that the. young woman's disappearance might have been the result of a love affair.

Commissioner ITynn was not called in until December 22. ten duys after the girl had disupiH-arcd For several days his men worked on theories of kidnapping, violence or illness, but hen the Commissioner learned that private detectives in F.urope and this country had beon proceeding on another line hu demanded more frankness Sliortly afteiward squads of detectives that hud been searching the parka and unsavorv sections of the city xxrith the. idea that Miss Arnold had come to harm were called in from tho job. While the police have not ceased wotk ou the case the principal xvorlt of the detective bureau corresponds merely to the routins in the cast, of uuy person whoso disappearance has been reported All that Mr ITynn will say is that ho believes the girl is unharmed and that she will reappear The general alarm sent out yesterday is in the form of a four page leaflet cotrtnining complete description of Miss Arnold and three pictures of her These leaflets were sent to every city in the United States and to all of the larger cities in Iluropo and South America. Young John Arnold, a brother of the missing girl, who went abroad about the time his sister disappeared, returned yesterday ou La Suvoie.

He was asked if he had gone to Italy to seo Mr, Oriscom. He said that he had been in Italy hut that he'hnd not seen Mr Oriscom. He sii'd that lie had not heard of his sister's disappearance until January 20 and then took the first steamer home, It was learned yesterday that Mrs. Arnold, Dorothy's mother, has not been at home in New York since before Christmas, Mrs, Keith said that she could not bear to stay in this city after what had happened. The Arnolds have a country place at York Harlior, Me.

As the days go by tho number of callers at (n Wall street and the Arnold home at 108 F.ast Seventy-ninth street xvho think they know something about the lost girl Increases Yesterday she was reported lo bo in five diffeient cities almost simultaneously. A doen or morn letters obviously ho work of crank er received and thero were telephone messages every half hour or so One of Ihe stories brought in tn Oarvao A- Armstrong's office interested Mr. Arnjf strong so much that ho put private tectives to work'. Yesterday morning a rough spoken man drifted into 'the offloo and said he wanted to see Mr. Arnold.

Mr Armstrong said ho was acting for Mx. Arnold 'All right." said the caller "I thinlt I know where this girl 18, I'm the skipps i.
