seasickness. Among the number was a
man and his wife with their six-months'-
old baby, who by mistake became separ-
ated He took the little one under his
care to give his wife little recreation, he
going one way and she another. The man
thought that his 49, would follow him
down to the steam ant on board
and took the littla Linto the ladies'
cabin. In the meantime the steamers
whistle blew for all to come on board, and
his wife, without the others, hastened
aboard, and in the confusion she could not
find her husband or child. She went ON
shore. thinking that he was not on board,
and the boat went off, leaving her on the
island What to do the husband did not
know He was in pretty pickle, but he
surmised that his wife would have the
presence of mind to go to New Rochelle
and take a train for this city, which she
did Some of the ladies on board assured
the man, in his dilemma, and helped in
the care of the little one. His wife met
him at the Starin dock when the boat
landed, and both were much overioyed.

Miner of the United States, aided by the
legations of Nicaragua and Costa Rica and

now generally accepted that Secretary
Blaine has been giving him orders looking
to the restoration of peace by means of ar

Ezeta had believed that the United States
had been taking stand that did not assure
the autonomy of his country or the free
exercise of the rights of the citizens of San
Salvador on matters of home government,
but he has been happily surprised by the
result of the negotiations initiated by Min
lister Miner. It is thought that Ezeta was
advised to take the stand that if peace was
not arranged within three days he would
cause his army to advance upon the capital
| of Guatemala. If he did, his "bluff' was
most advantageous to the peace interests
