WASHINGTON , AIIR. 15. A few minutes
iftcr 1 o'clock a horse drawing a smart
looking phaeton entered the white house
grounds at a lively irot and a man carrying
A largo roll of parchment stepped nimbly out
when It reached tlio white house and ran up
the Blairs. The man was Representative
Pearson of Ohio , and the roll was the famous
tariff bill. The man was at once admitted
to tlio whlto house and delivered his precious
burden Into the hands of a private secretary ,
Just as Is done with other bills. After ex
changing a few courteous words with the
bearer , Mr. Thtirber took up a rubber stamp
nnil Impressed upon the bill characters Indi
cating that It had been received by the presi
dent at 1:15 , August 15. 1SOI.
That was nil of the ceremony there was
ftbnut the reception of the bill. Mr. 1'earson
woulil have liked to have handed It to the
president In person , but Mr. Cleveland was
Retting ready for his luncheon , and no ex
ception was made to the usual practice. Then
Mr , 1'carson , looking relieved of a heavy
burden , left ths white house.
Ho told the reporter that he had not closed
his eyes In twn days and nights , but had
been steadily at work pushing the enroll
ment of the bill. When asked If h expected
to get away In a few days , ho replied :
"Maybo , but I am ready to stay until the
other tariff bills are passed. "

WASHINGTON , Aug. 15. ( Special Tele
gram to The Bee. ) F. M. Hrook of North
1'latto has written Senator Manderson ask
ing him to urge the establishment of a post-
ofllco at Nichols , about nine miles from
North I'lattc. It Is the rule of the Post-
ofllco department that no new postofflces
Will bo established except where It Is very
clear that the receipts will exceed the ex-
pensea of maintaining the same. However ,
the senator will take the matter to the Post-
olllco department and endeavor to secure the
desired result.
Senator Manderson has written to D. C.
Stoner , secretary of the Polk County Agri
cultural association , that It Is probable that
congress will not have adjourned In time for
lilui to be present at the Polk county fair
at Osceola on September 5.
Congressman Melklejohn called up and se
cured the passage of his bill to perfect the
tltlo to a ijuarter section of land In the town
of Yuma , Colo.
Acting Chancellor Kelr of the University of
Omaha , at nellevue , has written Congress
man Mercer requesting him to secure a
military Instructor for the university. Inas
much as Nebraska already has her quota , of
military Instructors -the request of Dr. Kolr
will probably not bo complied with , but It Is
quite probable that In view of the proximity
of Fort Crook , a sergeant may bt > detailed
to act as Instructor for the university.
Dr. Eugene M. Tyler has been appointed
an examining surgeon for the pension bureau

Announcement of tlio Enrollment of tlio
Tar IT Hill Without Duino Htriltlon.
WASHINGTON , Aug. 15. The house re
ceived the announcement of the enrollment
of the tariff bill without demonstration.
The resignation of Rjprcsnnlatlvo Brcckln-
rldgo of Arkansas was received.
The conferees on the sundry civil bill were
Instructed to further disagree.
A number of local and private bills were
passed.
Representative Black , democrat , of Illinois
Introduced a resolution lo report a bill for
the UBO of silver In the treasury. It went
to the box In the regular order.
The conference report on the general de
ficiency bill announced an agreement on all
amendments but one thu appropriation of
$1,800,000 to pay final judgments of the court
at claims , among them the decree In favor
of the Southern Paclllo Railroad company.
The report on the deficiency bill was agreed
to with the reservation of the ono Item of
the Southern Pacific claim. Mr. Magulre of
California delivered a vigorous speech In
opposition to the payment of over $1,800,000
to this company. Ho maintained that the
Southern Pacific company was not a company
nt all In the true house of the word , but was
simply the agency of n co-partnership exist
ing between four men Huntlngtou , Crocker.
Stanford and Hopkins. Ho did not think It
was right In equity that the government
should pay this claim whllo there was duo
the government from this company , ns the
successor of the Central Pacific , the sum of
$77,000,000. The four men .mentioned , he
Bald , had diverted money from the assets of
this company , which were subject to u statu
tory lien In favor of the government of $ C2-
000,000 by means of fraudulent contracts
with themselves on account of construction.
Mr. Henderson of lown defended the Just
ness of the claims.
Adjourned until tomorrow , when the de
bate will bo continued.

WASHINGTON , Aug. 15. It Is stated
with posltlveness by mamb.rs of congress and
others who stand closest to President Cleveland -
land that ho will not veto the tariff bill.
They do not say ho has told them to , but
they say he talks In a way to make a veto
out of the question. They Bay the only
doubt remaining Is as to whether the bill
will become a law by the prcsldsnt's signa
ture , or will go- Into effect by the limitation of
ten days without his hlgnature. On this
queptlon those best Informed say there Is
nothing definite , the ouly positive point , In
t'lflr Judgment , being that the bill will not
be vetoed. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

ference appropriates $31,209,776 , which Is $1-
901 , .190 lets than the bill passed by the sen

I.oiul UK Thiiin DIIIVII with Amendment * .
WASHINGTON , Aug. 15. The events of
the day did not make clearer the efforts of
the senate to follow the lead of the house
In trying to secure the passage of the sup
plemental tariff bills. Senator Hill's ex
ample to amend by repealing the Income
tax was followed today by Senator Quay
with amendments which Included the en
tire McKlnley law. Others of a like na
ture will follow. The conservatives will
try to prevent the senators from the west
ern mining states from voting for free
sugar by amending the bill no .es to pro
vide for free lead ore. It Is thought that
n resort to these tactics for a few days will
convince all of the futility at this late day
of an effort to pass the bills.
Iliutiilliin ItoyiilUtx Returning Home.
WASHINGTON , Aug. 15. The Hawaiian
royalist commissioners left the city this even
ing for Chicago , presumably on their return
homo. The commissioners while here re
fused steadfastly to talk publicly as to the
objects of their visit to this city , and so far
as Is known they departed without Imparting
It except to the ofllclals of the government.
During their last visit the president officially
recognized the new republic of Hawaii , so
that If the commlhsloners attempted to have
recognition deferred their efforts were futile.
Hank u il Treuoury Note * Can tin 'Inxcd.
WASHINGTON , Aug. 15. President Cleve
land has signed the bill to authorize the
taxation of treasury notes by states and
municipalities on the same terms that "other
money Is taxed. It gives authority for their
taxation merely , and It remains for the
state to take advantage of Its terms.

Uyo to Insurance .Money.
CHICAGO , Aug. 15. The fire Inspectors
of the city claim to have unearthed a nest
of students of llerr Most , who have or
ganized to burn buildings for anarchistic
sentiment and also for the revenue to be
derived from Insurance. Seven people wore
given u preliminary hearing" today and held
to nwalt grand jury action. The prisoners
are : Cntl llerlltz , Mrs. C-.il Hcrlltz , Au
gust Nolso , William Sclmrf , John LJaumun ,
August Schabosky nnd John Naumann. The
lire Inspectors claim there arc many rir
Implicated nnd thnt all are followers of
Herr Most. Many finely constructed bombs
have been found , some of them being op
erated by delicate clockwoik and all of n
character to start destructive fires.
After thu proceedings in court Herlllz
made a full confession. He aald he came
here fiom New Orleans five years ago and
met a man named Scharf , who Instructed
him In anarchistic doctrines.
.Later Schuit' suggested that the most
rational way to secure reprisals for capital
istic robbery was to get after the Insurance
companies. Hombs and oilier anarchistic
paraphernalia were adopted for use and operations -
orations were commenced. Scharf did the
preliminary work , but left the actual firing
to llerlltz , and was to receive 5 per cent of
the money recovered from the Insurance
company.
llerlltz said that Sclmrf had many other
pupils , and derived a good revenue on the 5
per cent. U Is claimed that the compensa
tion of IlerlltH. for each lire for which he-
was responsible. Is $100.

Its Intentions regarding the action of the
attorney general of Illinois to secure the
annulment of the company's charter. In

strange that the alleged discovery that the

VICTORIA , n. C. , Aug. 15. The steamer
Tacotna , fifteen days out from Hcng King ,
arrived at this port shortly after noon todiy.
The weather log Is brier. She left Hong
Kong July 19 , Shanghai July 24 and Kobe
July 29. So far as could be gathered , the
popular feeling In Yokohama Is at concert
pitch. A number of leading Americans
have made cantrlbutlcns of rice and sakl
and all Is hurry , bustle and fighting talk.
Lieutenant General Takashlma expressed
himself as follows at Osaku : "The mili
tary equipment of the country became per
fected by degrees since the organ zatlon
of divisions In 1889. At present the Japan
ese army need not fear any country In the
world , with the exception of three or four
republics. In comparing their navy with
that of China , Japan Is Inferior In point cf
Onnago by some 31,000 tons , hut China has
vessels w.th speed of only twelve knots ,
whllo Japan has vessels 'of eighteen knots.
As to skill and arms , China Is no match
for Japan. Moreover , she has only thirty
vessels ot the China Merchants Steamship
and Navigation company as transports , which
she requires for the transportation of rice
for the lntcrlr. Hut Japan has about sixty
steamers of over 2,000 tons for that pur
pose of recently purchased vessels As II
Is the first occasion on which steel armored
squsdrons are to engage in combat , foreign
powers will regard with attention the Issue
of the naval engagements. The present oc
casion Is worthy of our full exertion , and
It will be a good opportunity to show the
world what our military strength If. "
NEWS DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN.
Since the naval fight off Fusan , the run
ning of Japanese steamers b-twoen Jlnzln
and Fusan has been suspended. General
travel on the smaller Oriental lines is
very much broken and news of an authentic
nature is dlfllcult to obtain.
In Yokohama It Is believed that China's
plan will be to march troops Into Corea by
way of Wlju and the Japanese government is
said to be taking steps accordingly.
The report that the Chinese minister waste
to start for home on the 28th of July Is
denied. He Is said to have received Instruc
tions not to leave until the withdrawal of
the Japanese charge d'affalrs at Pekln.
From Hong Kong reports on the Corcan
difficulty are still less satisfactory , the news
being of a wild and contradictory nature.
The plague appears to be abating rapidly ,
though danger Is not apprehended from the
action of the sanitary board In allowing the
return of numbers of coolies to the colony.
The total number of deaths from the plague
In Hong Kong since the outbreak on the 9th
of May Is reported at 2,372 up to date.
Strong efforts are being made to keep forty
coolies from Canton and the cholera dis
tricts of the mainland.
FunkUn authorities have ordered some
Lock Chlng battalions to proceed to Focchow
and "braves" are being enlisted to strengthen
the forces In Funklen. The garrisons of
the MIngnen Gan forts are da ly practicing
with their big guns and are prepared to
give ,1 good account of themselves should
the Japanese warships make any attempt
on the arsenal at Pagoda anchorage.
The Hoch reports that Intelligence Is said
to have been received In Tcklo to the effect
that the Chinesemanofwar Kootsu , which
fled eastward to the Corean coast after the
engagement on the 25th , reached Gssan ,
where her crew abandoned her and landed.
A Japanese man-of-war followed and cap
tured her.
The queen of Corea Is reported as 111.
She Is under medical treatment for malancl
fever.
At Ysan , while the' Japanese soldiers were
proceeding towards Sulgen Fti , laying the
line of defense , over SOO Chinese soldiers
assembled and entered the lines , whereby a
collision occurred between them. The
Chlncbo troops opened fire , which was re
sponded to by the Japanese soldiers. Field
guns put the Chinese to flight and thpy
sustained a loss ot eighteen killed and 170
wounded.

LONDON , Aug. 15. A dispatch to the
Times from Tlen-Tsln today says the Brit
ish minister has Issued a notice enjoining
strict neutrality upon the part of all British
subjects In the far east during the progress
of the war between Japan and China.
The dispatch adds that the French gun
boat Lion bus arrived at Tlen-Tsln. It Is
announced that the war ships flying any
flag attempting to cross the Taliu bar will
bo fired on unless their Intended arrival has
previously been notified to the officers In

Lion will be remembered as tht > war ship
which Is reported to have been present at
the sinking of the transport Kaw Shung
and much Important evidence. Is expected
from the commander of the Fivmch ship In
regard to the disaster.
A prlvato telegram from Yokohama says
that seven Chinese vessels were sunk In a
recent engagement with the Japanese. The
report lacks confirmation and probably arose
from the statement received here from Yo
kohama last night that news had been re
ceived there of the battle which took place
on the 18th , between the Chinese and Japan
ese lieIB , and that the Chinese wore driven
cff. Inquiries made at the Japanese legation
hero fall to obtain a confirmation of the re

AMiiMln of President Cnrnot Died Minuting
Vltu cl Anarchy.
LYONS , Aug. 10. The Rcpuhllc of Franco
avenged the dpith of her beloved president
at 1:55 : this morning , nt , which hour Santo
was guillotined on the public Equarc. With
the cry of "Vlvl 1'anarchlo" on h'.s lips , the
head of the trembling assassin was severed
from the body by the keen blade and an
other anarchist had died for a mistaken
cause. There were no unusual dcmcnstra-
tlons attending the execution.
The news ot the decision to execute Santo
In the early morning spread rapidly not
withstanding the efforts of the ofilc als to
keep It secret. The wineshops and ics-
taurants In the vicinity were crowded all
the evening with people who propscd to
witness the execution. At midnight , how
ever , these people were compelled to aban
don their places of shelter , as the tavern
keepers had strict orders to close at that
hour , and the streets leading to the prison
were occupied by trocps. This precaution
was taken to prevent any attempts at violence
lence on the part of the anarchists. Santo
would have to walk fifty yards from his cell
to the scaffold , which was erected In the
square facing the prison.
When the preparations of Dlcbler
had been completed he twice tested
the guillotine and pronounced It satis
factory. It was then 4:25 : , and the crowds
closed In around the guillotine. When day
light arrived the square and 'the streets near
by were thronged by people. Escorted by n
squad of gens d'armes , M. 'Ilaux. the gov
ernor of the prison , wakened Santo , saying
to him : "Courage , Santo , the hour has ar
rived. " The condemned nun , with great
effort , raised himself , his face turned livid
and his hands and limbs trembled convul
sively despite his great effort to appear care
less to his fate. This trembling continued
until the last moment. He could hardly
stand and his limbs were so stiff from cold
and fright that his clothes were put on him
with the utmost difficulty. In reply to the
question whether he would have breakfast ,
Santo declined either food or drink. lie also
refused religious consolation from the priest.
At 4.0 a. m. Santo Was led out of his
cell by the guards. He trembled as he
emerged from the prison and had to be as
sisted to the scaffold. His face was deadly
pale. As he was being fastened down , he
cried : "Viva el anarchle. "

LONDON , Aug. 15. The Times has ad

has arrived there with Chlet Clarence and
twelve refugees aboard. Blueflclds has been
retaken by 2,000 Nlcaragnan troops who ar
rived from Rama und Grcytown on trans
ports flying the United States flag.
On their approach the United States ma
rines who had been on duty ashore returned
to their vessel. The "resident Americans
being thus abandoned , became very Indig

flag from their houses and stamped on It In
the streets. They then liolsted the British
Hag. ,
On entering the state , ' , house the Nlcar-
aguans hauled down aliJ tflre to shreds the
Mosquito flag. They 'placed ' under arrest

LONG STRUGGLE AT NEBRASKA CITY
Strength of tlm Cniidlil.itm Itemiilin tin-
broken in the Dulcitiitvtt Are 1'iiUliful
to Their IMvdgrn Aim > at u
Itonr In tint Afternoon.
NEBRASKA CITY , Aug. 15. ( Special Tele
gram to The Bee. ) Without doubt the ses
sion of the First congressional district re
publican convention now In session In this
city has been the longest drawn out and
most exciting ever held In the state.
After n session lasting from 7 p. m. to
12:30 : a. m. without making a nomination ,
the convention reassembled this morning at
9:30 : o'clock and renewed the struggle. There
were 234 ballots taken last night before the
delegates were tired enough to go to bed.
When the convention was called to order
this morning Chairman Wlndlmm congratu
lated the delegates on their cheerful appear
ance and expressed the hope that they would
work with vigor.
W. A. Howard then entertained the con
vention with several political songs , after
which the convention got down to business ,
the secretary call ng the roll of counties
for the 235th ballot. It was the name old
story Strode , 63 ; Howe , 51 ; Chapman , 39.
Richardson's monotonous call of "Howe , 15 ;
Strode , 2 ; Chapman , 2 ; " raised a howl.
This was kept up until the 270th ballot , when
Richardson cast one vote for Wlndham.
From the 271st ballot to the 373d there
was no change. Slzer of Lancast-r here In
troduced the following resolution :
We , the republicans of the First district ,
In convention asembled , believing tlmt our
government having disposed of Its lands
In the great plains country of the west In
good faith to the pioneers of this state ,
and they having used their honest endeav
ors to make for themselves homes in our
state , we ought. In meio Justice to said
purchasers , to use the strong arm of the
government to demonstrate whether said
semi-arid regions can be reclaimed by Irri
gation ,
The resolution was unanimously adopted
and the balloting was resumed.
Up to the 4B3d ballot the vo'o was polled
with the same dreary monotony. At this
point Burr of Lancaster moved the convention
take a recess until 2 o'clock , which was un
animously carried.
ALMOST ENDED IN A RIOT.
The sensational development of the after
noon occurred when Hoge of 0 oo county
moved an adjournment of thirty days , to
meet at that time In this city. The motion
nearly caused a riot , and for several minutes
It looked as It serious trouble might follow.
Church Howe was on his feet Immediately ,
and In the name ot four counties protested
against the motion being entertained.
"What object , what reason , " ho asked ,
"could bo advanced for adjournment ? "
Ho could give the reason. Within the
past twenty-four hours outside Influences
had been brought to bear upon the conven
tion , and ho wanted those not Interested to
keep out. The First district was able to
take care ot Itself without outside corporate
Influences. He wanted fair play. He could
name the Influences brought to bear on the
convention. ( Cries of "Namo them. " ) Con
tinuing , Mr. Howe said victory could not be
won In the First district If these Influences
were followed. The motion was pu1 , how
ever , 'and the call"of counties followed.
Cass voted aye , Johnson nay.
Just before Lancaster was rcachsd Steven
son of Richardson county approached Church
Howe and threateningly shook his (1st In
Howo's face. Howe called upon the chair
man for protection , saying ho had been as
saulted. In an Instant every delegate was
on his feet , and a riot seemed Imminent.
The chairman wrenched a round from his
chair and pounded vainly on the table for
order. The fortunate appearance of a police
man , however , quelled the disturbance.
Lancaster county then wanted a sergcant-
at-arms appointed , but the chairman said
ho had too much faith In the delegates to ap
point such an officer. The poll of counties
on the motion to adjourn was then resumed.
When Lancaster was reached a poll of th > dele
gation was demanded , but bjfore It was half
completed Bushnclt moved to table the mo
tion , which was carried with a whoop , and
the C98th ballot was called , resulting :
Strode , 53 ; Howe , 51 ; Chapman , 39.
During the afternoon from the 497th to
the 752d ballot the only changes tn the vote
came from Richardson county , where four
votes changed back and forth between Chap
man , Strode and Field. At 4:45 : a motion by
Webb Eaton of Lancaster to adjourn until
7 o'c'ock this evening carried.
EVENING SHOWS NO CHANGE.
The convention reassembled and was
called to order at 7:30. : The chairman read
a t.legram from Seward announcing Halner's
nomination , and advising the First district
to get together. The 753d ballot was the
same old story , and thus It continued until
the 817th ballot , when Rlchardson gave two
votes to Strode , making : Strode , 64 ; Howe ,
51 ; Chapman , 38. This continued until the
SSOtli ballot at 8:50 : , when Atkinson of Lan
caster moved that the convention take a re
cess of half an hour , which was carried.
Upon reassembling there "was no change
until the S87th ballot , when Pnwneo made
the first break , giving Strode one , making :
Strode , 54 ; Howe , 60 ; Chapman , 39.
Strode- gained one moro on the next ballot
from Richardson : Strode , 55 ; Howe , 49 ;
Chapman , 39. On the S91st ballot Chapman
made n gain of ono from Richardson :
Strode , 52 ; Howe , 49 ; Chapman , 42. On the
893d ballot Pawnee changed back to Howe.
Chapman lost one , going to Strode , on the
915th ballot. It was : Strode , 6fi ; Howe , 50 ;
Chapman , 37. On the 929th ballot Strode lost
ono and Chapman gained ono , Richardson
gave Hayward ono vote on the 942d ballot.
Another little change occurred In the 956th
ballot , resulting : Strode , 51 ; Howe , 60 ;
Chapman , 39 ,
When the 1,000th ballot had been taken ,
with tlio same result , the large audience
arose and sang "America. " At 11:10 : , ut the
conclusion of the lOG9th ballot , there being
no change. Burr of Lancaster moved to ad
journ until 9 o'clock tomorrow morning ,
which carried.
Howe stated after adjournment that , pro
vided the other candidates would follow his
example , he would release all the delegates
pledged to him , walk outof the convention
and let the delegates bdtlo the matter among
themselves.

PARIS , Aug. 15. A representative of the
Associated press had an interview today
with ex-Vice President Lovl P. Morton In
regard to his political prospects and the
movement In New York to tender him the
republican nomination for governor. Mr.
Morton , who appeared to bo in excellent
health , reiterated the statements which ho
made on August 10 lo the Associated press
at Geneva , Switzerland. He said that ho
had not written a letter expressing his will
ingness to accept the republican nomination
fpr the governorship of New York , and when
asked pointedly If ho would accept the nom
ination , said that ho considered It the better
policy for the good of the party nnd the
chances in November not to make any state
ment upon this Important subject until he
had time to communicate personally with the
leaders of the republican party In New York.
The Associated press reporter gathered ,
however , from his conversation with Mr.
Morton that If It Is the unanimous wlbh
of the party leaders In Now York that Mr.
Morton should accept the nomination for gov
ernor ho will do so.

SAN FRANCISCO , Cal. , Aug. 15. U became -
came known today that the United Slates
gunboat Dennlngton , having on board cx-
Vlco President Antonio Ezotu and three other
fugitives from San Salvador , was sighted
last night about thirty miles out from the
Golden Gate. The Bcnnlnglon was overhauled
by the tugboat Sea King , Hying a special
navy signal nnd bearing Lieutenant Stoncy ,
aide to the commandant nt Mare Island navy
yard. Lieutenant Stonoy delivered the dls-
patches from Washington , ordering the Bon-
nlntton to remain outside until further In
structions should be received from Washing
ton. Llfutenant Stoncy found the Bennlng-
ton so short of provisions that nil on board
had been curtailed tn tlieir allowance. The
Sea King at once returned to port nnd nt
noon today she put to sea again with a
big supply of fruit , vegetables , bread , fresh
meat nnd other supplies for the Bennlngton.
She also carried a pouch of mall for the gun
boat's officers and men. The naval authori
ties refused to talk and special efforts luvo
been made to keep the tugboat's crew sllunt ,
but It Is learned thu appearance of the Sea
King on her mysterlpus mission caused R
commotion on board the Rennlnston. Gen
eral Ezcta and his brother icfugces viewed
the approach of the tug with apprehension ,
which was changed to consternation when
they learned that the gunboat was lo bo
detained at sea nualtlng the arrival from
Washington of documents affecting their fno-
dom. They made attempts to bend loiters
ashore by the crew of the Sea King , but
Commander Thomas of the Bcnnlugton kept
them carefully under his eye and frustrated
their plans.
WAITING FOR THE WARRANTS.
The arrival from Washington of warrants
for the arrest of the four refugees Is now
eagerly awaited. Not until they arrive , It
Is said , will Lieutenant Stoncy pay another
visit to the Bennlngton , and no one but an
accredited official from the navy yard will
be permitted on board the cruiser. What
part the local federal authorities will play
In the case of Ezeta Is not known , but the
general opinion in official circles Is that they
wilt not have anything to do with It. United
States Commissioner Hcncock , before whom
International extradition matters are brought ,
stated today that he had received no olllclal
Information as to the refugees , but that ho
believed the State department had taken all
the necessary testimony and would order It
to bo turned over to an agent of the govern
ment of San Salvador. This , It Is claimed.
woulil put the case beyond the right of
habeas corpus. If the case had not been
finally disposed of Commissioner Hcacock
thinks the order would have been to turn
the refugees over to n United States olllclal.
At the United States district attorney's
ofllco It la stated that no charges have been
filed and no communication has been rc-
ce.vcd from Washington In regard to the
matter. Assistant District Attorney Knight' ,
the oillclal In charge , stated that he supposed
the question would bo dealt with by the De
partment of State and that E ctn and Ilia
campanlons have probably been extradited ,
as the charges against them Include mur
der , arson and embezzlement , all of which
are mentioned In the treaty with San Sal
vador.
The steamer City of Sydney sa.ls for Cen
tral American ports next Saturday , and It
Is the opinion ot Mr. Knight that It tlm
warrants arrive In time the refugees will
bo transferred from the Bennlngton to her
decks end will never pet foot on San Fran
cisco soil. The United States marshal also
states that he has received no Instructions
whatever as to the Ezeta affair. The at
torneys that have been employed for Ezet *
are very active , however , and It Is believed
hero that they will at least attempt to In
stitute habeas corpus proceedings. Rumors
of decidedly sensational possibilities are
heard here. To guard absolutely against
any appeal to the courts by the attorneys
for the refugees , It Is hinted that the govern
ment authorities may keep the Bpnnlngton
beyond the threc-mllo limit until the sailing
of the City of Sydney , and- when the latter
vessel has sailed beyond the jurisdiction ot
the United States courts the four refugees
will be transferred to her decks on the high
seas and given Into the custody ot ofllccra
from San Salvador.
