FOUR HUNDRED PERISH.
A Fruitloss Search For the Missin
Steamer Dubury.


Sydney papers, which arrived by steamer
report the arrival there, January g. of the
vessel that made fruitless search for the
large passenger steamer Dubury, which il
was feared had loundered in the recent ~
phoon in the China Sea.
No trace of the missing vessel was found
and there is now no doubt that she sank
with her 400 Chinese passengers and crew
The Ouly traces of her ever seen were float
ind bundles of rattan that formed part OF
her cargo.
A German steamer, bound for Hong
Kong, last month picked up the crew of Il
small Manila bark which had been drifting
about in the China Sea for 30 days. The yes
sci was unmanageable, aud those on board
II men and 2 women, had been without
Good or fresh water for 20 days.

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1890-06-30
The Situation in San Salvador.

Reports from San Salvador in regard to
the manner in which President Menendez
met his death are conflicting, one stating
that he died of apoplexy and another that
he was murdered. Be this as it may, it is
certain that another revolution has
taken place in that little republic
The dispatches give the bare
statement that the government was reor-
ganized by the election of Gen. Ezeta as
provisional president, and the formation of
a new cabinet
To any one familiar with the history of
the Central American states the statement
of the return to power of Gen. Ezeta will be
sufficient to confirm the belief that a revolu-
ton has broken out. Gen. Ezsta is the
friend and adviser of DR.. Rafael ZaIdivar,
for ten years President of the turbulent
republic, prior to Menendez, who caused his
overthrow and exile. Zaldivar is now in
Paris, and has been invited to return to his
native land by Ezeta. This means that
Ezeta wants to re-establlsh him in the
presidency, and that his party intends to
remain in control. by peaceable means if
possible, by force if necessary. Zaldivar's
followers are bold and ambitious men. For
years they have been leaders of the revolu-
tionists, and the result has been anarchy
aud rapiue.
The present trouble in Salvador is the
outcome of the feud over the proposition a
few years ago to combine the five Central
American republics under one government.
The promoter Of that idea was President
Barrios, of Guatemala, who solicited Zaldi-
var for his assistance in carrying it into
effect. Zaldivar led him to believe that he
accepted the proposition enthusiastically,
and armed a force of men ostensibly to
assist his friend Barrios, but really to make
war on him, which he did. Barrios sent
10000 men under command of Menendez,
then in his servics, to meet Zaldivar's army.
Finally Barrios took command himself
and was killed, peace was established, and
then the treacherous Zaldivar proposed the
union of the republics on account of which
he had made war on Barrios. He had to
leave the country and the presidency to
Gen. Figueroa. But no sooner was Gen.
Figueroa installed than Menendez took up
arms against him at the head of the revo-
lutionary forces he had mustered in San
Salvador. Menendez was victorious and
became president. He was celebrating the
anniversary of his victory when he died or
was killed.
The return of Zaldivar at this time would
not be conducive to harmony and union 1t
would mean more trouble. The friends of
Menendez would not submit again to his
rule without resistance Zaldivar left his
country for his country's good, and if he
knows when he is well off he will remain
away.
