A POLITICAL CONUNDRUM.
Will Blaine Recognize the Government Of
Ezeta?

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Wharton, Act
ing Secretary Of State, who is in constant
communication with Blaine at Bar Harb0r,
says no instructions have been sent to
Minister Miner at Salvador to recognize
the Government of EZeta. That there is a
provisional Governments de facto Gov
ernment-there there is not the slightest
doubt, but whether it is the kind of Gov
eminent Blaine is willing shall be recog-
nized by the United States is the conun-
drum which bothers the State Department.
1t is admitted at the State Department
that Blaine is willing to be the mediator
in restoring peace between Guatemala and
Salvador. To this the provisional Govern
ment in Salvador, it Is understood, does
not object, but it does object to Blaine's
understood desire to dictate the terms of
settlement
Ezeta, it is said has reminded our Min
lister that the Intervention of Blaine has
caused the SalvadOrian Government to ar
rest the advance of its victorious troops
upon the capital of the nation by which the
independence of the SalvadOrian people has
been asSaied. This admonition is regarded
here as putting upon the shoulders Of the
United States the responsibility for what
ever may be done in consequence Of Blaine's
intervention. AS Guatemala was the az
gressor in the conflict. it is considered that
Salvador will feel entitled to call upon
Blaine in the near future to compel Guate-
mala, by such means as he can devise. to
accept proper terms of settlement, if there
should be any disposition on the part Of
that country to take undue advantage of
the respite that BIaine's diplomacy seems
to have secured for her.
The rnmor that Blaine proposes to couple
his offer to recognize the provisional Gov
eminent of Salvador with conditions in the
nature of pledge by Ezeta to set in opera
ton the provisions of the Salvadorian Con-
if authentic. points to radical departure
from the traditions and policy of the
United States, and will find no precedent
except the one set by Blaine himself during
the disability of Garfield,

VICTIM OF A VAMPIRE.
A Mexican Woman Perishes at the Side
of Her Husband.

A Mexican Woman Perishes at the Side
of Her Husband.
The wife of Senior Gonzalez, a prominent
citizen of this place, was found dead in her
bed recently with a large bat of the vampire
variety fastened in her hair, writes Mon
terey (Mexico) correspondent.
She had been sleeping by an open window,
and the creature had flown in and evidently
killed her by sucking her blood, for two
tiny wounds on her neck close to the jugular
vein indicate the place it had punctured.
Its escape had been prevented though by
the hair of its victim, which was very long
and abundant, and had so entangled the
vampire in its meshes as TO hold it until it
could be killed. The death of Sonora Con-
Zales is much regretted in the community,
as she was lady of amiable and benevQlent
character, as well as noted for her beauty.
The death inflicted by these bats is very
peaceful one, for while draining the blood
they keep up continuous gentle tanning of
their wings, which so0thes and lulls the
sleeper until his slumbers glide impercept-
bly, into eternal rest Senior Gonzales, who
was asleep by his wife's side, says he was
first awakened by the bats frantic eDdeav-
ors to free itself from its net of hair, and
that he killed the gorged and imprisoned
creature without difficulty, and could scarce
" believe that his wife was dead, so placidy
and naturally did she seem to sleep.-Chi-

Causes of Iusarity,

New YORK, Aug. 13.-The Philadelphia
State Commission of Lunacy has just pub
lished its annual report, which contains a
statement that. so far as have been discov-
cred, there have been only fifteen cases of
insanity in any way referable to the Johns
town disaster. This statement is made
after detailed and careful investigation.
The report says that seven of the fifteen
cases have since recovered in the hospital
There were during the food many who APP
parently were hopelessly imprisoned and
cut off from human aid, to whom fearful
doom seemed assured by the rising water
and approaching flames, but OF even these
survivors who were Diracul0uSiy spared
none are known to have become insane
from the contemplation of approaching
death. The commission concluded, IN re-
viewing the very small total, the conviction
was strengthened that the great over
whelming trials of life are much less liable
to overthrow reason than the continuous
worry and attrition of minor evils and ul-
ayoidable troubles and contact with de-
pressing surroundings.
