three o’clock
Personally , I have always been of the opinion that most of the persons on Aiken 's list of suspects were most worthy merchants , to whom he owed money . Laguerre gave a long audience to the cashier of the Manchester and Central American Bank , Limited , which finances Honduras , and assured him that the new administration would not force the bank to accept the paper money issued by Alvarez , but would accept the paper money issued by the bank , which was based on gold . As a result , the cashier came down the stair-case of the Palace three steps at a time , and later our censor read his cable to the Home Bank in England , in which he said that Honduras at last had an honest man for President . What was more to the purpose , he reopened his bank at three o'clock , and quoted Honduranian money on his blackboard at a rise of three per cent . over that of the day before . This was a great compliment to our government , and it must have impressed the other business men , for by six o'clock that night a delegation of American , German , and English shopkeepers called on the President and offered him a vote of confidence . They volunteered also to form a home-guard for the defence of the city , and to help keep him in office .
