Tho spirit of revolt ha spread even to tho gates of the palace. Zelaya has surrounded himself with an armed guard. Unchecked tho populace has mnrched through tho streets, crying for tho end of the old and proclaiming the new regime. Who will tako up the reins no one knows or cares. It Is sufficient thnt Zelaya as dictator will bo known no more. Thero Is no doubt that cougre will act quickly on his resignation, for tho people havo demanded It.
