Honolulu. it being the first trip of the ves-

stated, but had started for Central America

The story originated from the fact that the
steamer has been making periodical trips 10
Mexican ports from San Diego. The Honolulu
line is a simple business proposition. and we
have established it as the commencement of a
large business. The steamer, when she left San
Diego, sailed direct for Honolulu and carried a
full cargo of san Diego products, including
grain, hay. lime, cement, honey and other arti-
cles. For the present our vessel will make one
trip per month. We will put on other steamers,

up the lines. which had fallen to the
ground. The horses took fright and
started of, dragging him along the ground.
The horses dashed over the railroad track
and across the street. Udgerd kept a tight
hold OF the lines and kept pulling the horses
around until finally, in making u short
tarn. the bus was upset. Just at this
Juncture the horses were stopped as the
wheel was about to pass over the man. As
1t was. he was struck by the hoofs OF the
horses and considerably bruised up. For
few moments it appeared as if it was inn
possible for him to escape instantaneous
death. The bus was badly wrecked There
were number of passengers in the vehicle
at the time, but they managed to jump
out
A fine team of horses stolen from BAL

in the woods west of the city. The horses
had been without food for some time, and
by their constant whinnying attracted at
tention. 1t was the evident intention of
the robbers to keep them in the woods till

cape with them.

bearable heat, was a great success. Ten
Thousand men were in line. The Fifth

were under Commander G aneral George HI.

ousay denounced the story to the effect
that he had refused the California delega-
ton admission to quarters because they
wanted to bring wine and cigars into
camp. : 1t is vicious lie and seems to
have been printed with malicious interest,
the general said. There is no California
division here and l have not yet met a
single man from that state. No applica-

naturally they could not have been refused"

DEATH OF MENENDEZ.
San Salvador's President Pois-
oned by Dragged Wine.
EzETA MAINTAINS ARMED PEACE
Military Force Increased-Guns Ordered
From the United States Euro
pean Residents Alarmed.

WASHINGTON Cry. July 9.-That trouble
Is brewing among the Central American
republics over the proposed confederation
which may result in war is manifest
from the latest advices received
The story of the death of President
Menendiz, of Ssn Salvador, is given as fol-
lows: On a banquet table small bottle of
wine was set apart for the president. The
guests surrounding him had bottles of a
similar character. During the banquet the
president complained of not feeling we'll
and retired. He was seized with convul-
sions and medical aid was without avail,
for within an hour be was lifeless.
General EAsta was at once summoned,
and collecting all the forces marched to
the White house and took possession, caus-
ing the soldiers to proclaim him president.
On the following day General Ezeta sum-
moned the ministers of Menendez and re-
quested them to remain in office. This the
cabinet agreed to do, but in twenty-four
hours General Ezeta disbanded the cabinet
and selected men known to be opposed to
Guatemala's scheme to secure control of
Salvador.
maturing plans for Ezeta's overthrow, were
dealt with summarily, and no less than
thirty shot and forty exiled from the coun-
try. The garrisons are being reinforced,
and San Salvador today may be said to
maintain an armed peace. The military,
which had been considerably reduced dur
ing Menendez's administration, is now
being reinforced by ALI civilians liable to mil
itary duty. Efforts are being made on the
part OF Nicaragua and Costa RIGA to induce
San Salvador to promise not to lend her aid
toward any union that may be accompa-
MED with force; and also Costa RIGA has
no idea of entering into confederation
with the United States of Colombia
Should this federation take place the key
note to all Pan-American enterprises will,
it is said, be held by the three countries
named.
WASHINGTON CRY, July cit has been
rumored within the past week that the
Spencer e. Winchester and Remington
Arms companies have received large or
ders for small arms from Honduras and
Guatemala and Salvador has been buying
a considerable quantity of powder from the
Vulcan Powder Company, of San Fran
cisco. Salvador, only short time before
Menendez's death, received 10000 stands
of English rifles. Gener al Ezesa is now
distributing those arms among the people
OF Salvador, and has ordered from the Con-
necticut Cartridge Manufacturing Com
pany 1900, 900 rounds of ammunition.
Europeans are experiencing q sense of
insecurity at the unsettled state of affairs,
and like feeling perTades both Guatemala
and Honduras. The British, German,
French, Spanish and italian legations have
all notified their respective governments
and it will not be surprising to see men.of-
war make visits at an early day to Central
American waters.

ton. The furniture selected has also ar
rived, and is of the latest style, all of good
quality and hard wood. The furniture is
being put into the rooms today, and the
hotel will be opened about Friday, with a
grand ball. N. N. Brown, of Ellensburgh,
gentleman of considerable hotel expert
ence, with whom the travelling public is
generally acquainted, will be the first land
lord.
The social event of the season was the
tea party recently given by Mrs. d. G.
Guernsey to about twenty of her lady
friends. The lunch, which was served on
china and silver, was elegant, and has been
the subject of much praise by all who were
present.
On Sunday the Dayton Rod and Gun
Club INDUCED in shooting match, using
both McCauber targets and live pigeons.
q. X. Straight and A. w. DuBray, OF
Walla Walla, were invited to participate,
the latter gentleman tying with Colonel
John Carr, OF Dayton, on the days shoot.
Mr.. Straight was the champion shot at live
pigeons, killing twelve out of fourteen.
No celebration was held in the city this
year, the citizens preferring to be enter
tanned rather than entertain, consequently
a great number went to Walla Walla and
Waitsburg. The Dayton City Band and
orchestra furnished music for Waitsburg,
where about $500 people assembled to
make the eagle screech. Hon. John Brin-
ing, of Dayton, delivered the Grafton.

Waitsburg, recently home from encamp-
ment, gave an exhibition drill and dress
parade at s O'Clock IN the evening. The
Dayton band expect. in the near future, to
be enlisted as the Second regimental band
of the National Guards.
