The- Steamship Stillwater Has Puerto Cortes Pauenrers Aboard, Who Tell of the First Aet la the Lateat Revolution Juat Bearnm. The steamship Stillwater arrived last night from Central America, and brought tbe first news of the revolution there.

There were almost sixty passengers on -board, and tbey were all heartily glad of getting on shore. Captain Gait was Interviewed, trot he stated that be knew nothing of tbe war, not more than was known bere. Purser Willie also pleaded ignorance of It, and It whs only b7 dint of careful research among the passengers that a connected description was secured. 'The rebels," said one of the passengers, "to the number of fifty came Into Puerto Cortex last Tuosday and fired on the town. The looal force of some sixty men and two gatllng guns made a feeble attempt at fighting, and some of tbe men ned to tbe bills, while others aorrenderod or passed themselves over to tbe new army.

Wben tbe ship came to Puerto Cortex there was nothing unusual going on, everything being quiet and tbe Insurgents In full possession. In fact, it was tbe Insurgent customs officer that gave tbe StlH water her clearance papers, and not content with being- in possession of a seaport, rhe tnsnrgents were preparing to capture San Pedro de Sula. a Mttle town near Puerto Cortes. The leaders of tbe insurrection are said to be Arias, who was one of tbe members of the chamber of deputies, and Manuel Bon Ilia, who was formerly vice president of tbe republic. "Tbe general Impression In Central America In regard to the Central American Union is that It Is ah impossibility, as there are too many jealousies and personal ambitions to be satisfied to make them homogeneous.

For example, both Arias and tidanael BonlUa, tbe two leaders of rhe Insurrection In Honduras, are said to be aspirants for presidential honors, and unless one of them aacends to power and shoots the other, or has him hot for rebellion, another revolution will break out soon. "The Honthrrean. soldiers are a sorry lot, and look too laay to figfat, and do not seern able to use a gun In fact, wben fifty men can whip sixty men. In a town, wrth two gatllng gnns. there is a nJgger in the woodpile.

Ia fact, many of tbe Inhabitants of Puerto Cortes are Inclined to the belief that there was treachery, and that part of the garrison went over to the reheJs." Among tbe dlstrngnlshed visitors on board of the Stillwater was Hon. Jnles Novella, the consul general of the republic of Guatemala in thi city, who ls well known for his ability and uniform courtesy In tbe discbarge of bis aories. Mr. Novella was sent for by the president, and he has returned with the mission of representing bis country at P01! congress to be held in vVastolngton. Mr.

Novella declined to speak owing to the fact that Mrs. Novella, who accompanied him, was not feeling well. He, however, stated that Guatemala was not affected in tbe least by the revolution in Honduras, tout that his country would continue to stand as the protector of progress ami civlrlxatron. From a Hondnranean on board It was lerined that tbe government officials at wfr placed on "board of tbe Stillwater "by the Insurgents, including the comnmndante, the collector of the port and the tax collector, and all sent to Port Barrios. THE RAILROADS.

A Hew Ca.tb.olle Ckareh Will Be Bnllt This Tear. Opelousas, April 19. Opelousas ls to have a fine, new Catholic church. For some time past the question has been under discussion, and the fact that the present church is so far from the center at tbe town, together with tbe further consideration that It is not near large enough to accommodate the large congregation, has made the erection of a larger church nearer the center of population a necessity. Yesterday morning during tbe high maaa the paator.

Rev. Father Enjbe-rink, announced it aa a fact that we were to bare a new church. He stated that he was authorised by Archbishop Janssens, of New Orleans, to say that the new edifice would positively be built, and tnat work would begin at tbe earliest possible date.
