DESERTED HER HUSBAND.
BuFFAno. Aug. l4-Society cir
olea are all agog today over the an
nouncemcnt that Mrs. Emma Gro
nyn. wife OF DR.. John Cronyn, ,
prominent physician Of this city
had Joined the Carlton Opera com
pany as a chorus singer, and that
she appeared on the stage in Wash
lnxton as a student In America,
dressed Ia tights. Mrs. Cronyn is d
very handsome blonde, aud Is OF
almost perfect physical proportions.
Hsr husband enjoys a large prac-
iice, and she had almost everything
that could be desired. She became
Infatuated with the stage, and when
the Carlton Opera company was In
this city she applied for a position In
the company. She was told that
she must start at the bottom in the
chorus, hut this did not deter her,
and on Sunday she left with the
company for Washington. II is
said DR.. Cronyn is much distressed
over his wife's conduct. His office
was closed yesterday and the doctor

WAsnINoION, Aug. Ia. - The
seizure OF the Pacific mail steamer
City Of Pauama by the Salvadorian
authorities may result in the send
Ing OF Uniled States war vessels 10
these waters. How tn meet this
possible contingency is something
that Is bothering the navy officials
There are only three vessels now at
San Francisco besides the Charles
tod, which IL ordered TO China. and
~ Is questionable II any of these
can make the trip. Que of the trio
Is the Pensacola, which arrived yes
terday. The others are the Omaha,
which recently returned from China,
add Is now cut of commission, and
the Ranger, which has within a
Fortnight come up from Nicaragua
for repairs. The former Is the only
one that could possibly leave soon,
and as she Is out Of condition her
Journey to san Salvador would be
slow, II not dangerous. II has not
been determined that the seizure of
the City OF Panama will necessltate
the presence Of n man-of-war at la
Liberlad; but TO be prepared for tina,
contingency the department has
been in telegraphio communication
with the authorities at San Fran
cisco about the three ships. The alb
sence of any official particulars from
minister Paeheco az Guatemala

In the Barrundia case, mus: neees-

them until some understanding can

government. In the absence of any
definite official Information, MIR.

the navy department will take In
the matter, further than 10 say that
