CAPE MAY, August 12.-Edgar Lauter-
bach, OF New York, attorney for the Pa
cific Mail steamship company, laid be-
fore the president today the facts in
connection with the reported seizure by
the government of San Salvador, OF the
steamship City of Panama. At the
conclusion of the interview the presi-
dent telegraphed the secretary OF state
to instruct the minister and consul at
San Salvador to furnish full report of
the facts in the case for the information
OF the president. The secretary of the
navy was also telegraphed to keep the
cruiser Charleston ready for any service
that may be required OF her.
New YORK, August 12.-The Pacific
Mail steamship City of Panama, which
was detained by the authorities of San
Salvador at La Libertad, was permitted
to sail Monday This dispatch was re-
ceived at the Office OF the company in
this city yesterday, from the company's
agent at Panama. The following dis
patch has been received from the agent
at La Libertad:
''City of Panama sailed August 10th,
am, direct for San Jose. Cargo for
La Libertad discharged. Commander
of port refused despatch"
j. B. Houston, vice president and
general manager OF the company, said
that all he knew of the detention of the
steamship was contained IN this dis
patch from Captain F. P. White of the
detained steamer, to the general
manager of the company on
the isthmus of Panama, from
La Libertad: Authorities refuse clear
ship here, saying chip confiscated by
orders government. General Letona,
passenger from Corinto, Nicaragua, to
San Jose, Guatemala. Commandante
at La Union, with armed force, de-
manded surrender five political crimi-
nails. Refused to dispatch ships unless
request complied with. refused re-
quest. After twenty-seven hours in port
sailed without clearance. Agents here
advised going to San Jose, direct, to land
passengers, apprehending serious diff
Guilty from Ezeta at Acajutla with
armed force determined to arrest the
FIVE political refugees on board. 1 await
your advice"
The agent in reply sent this dispatch
to Captain White: Proceed to San
Jose, direct, keeping your passengers on
board until you can communicate with
United States minister"
This means to San Jose de Guate-
mala. Houston said Captain White
had either to deliver up passengers who
were under the protection of the Amer
ican flag, or sail from La Union without
clearance papers. He waited
twenty-seven hours for his papers
and then sailed without them.
Houston believed Captain White
was justified in this course, because
the ship was carrying mail which had
to be delivered.
II believe the whole trouble" said
Mr.. Houston, "is caused by the Ger
mans, who have been endeavoring for
some time to get control OF that trade.
They try to prejudice the public against
our company, which built up the trade
and furnished every facility to carry on
business. Now they want to step in and
get control of the business"

Light Draught ships for Patrol Duty.
Vessels Ordered to China.
BAR HARBoR, Me-, August 12.-Secre-
tary Tracy, in conversation, said he was
planning to have the White squadron
visit the gulf states this fall and winter,
and if possible send them up the Mis-
sissippi as far as Vicksburg. The ves-
sells will remain here week longer. "I
SHALL" said the secretary, recommend
to congress this winter, and urge upon
the membrs an appropriation for the
construction of some lighter draught
vessels for patrol and police duties, to
be used on such occasions as the Bering
sea case and in similar situations. We
very much need such vessels at the
present time on the China station, and
several vessels in Bering sea have been
ordered to proceed to China as soon as
they can be spared to protect American
interests there"
THE CHARLESTON NEEDED IN CHINA.
SAN Francisco, August 12.-Dr. G. N.
Gravatt, who is attached to the United
States naval hospital at Yokohama, ar
rived on the Oceanic last night. He
stated that just before the Oceanic sailed
the United states steamer Palos, obedi-
ent to orders, sailed up the Yangtse to
Wuhu and that the Alert was still at
Shanghai. These were keeping close
watch on things and there were no i'm
pending riots so far as heard. He and
other passengers from China, however,
thought the order for the Charleston to
go forward looked as though she was
needed in that section.

ANOTHER CAREER CLOSED.
The Honorable Life of Editor Georf
Jones Comes to an End.

The Honorable Life of Editor George
Jones Comes to an End.
POLAND SPRINGS, Me-, August 12.-
Editor George Jones, of the New York
Times, died at O'Clock this morning.
Mr.. Jones arrived here July 10Th.
Anxiety for his daughter, who was quite
sick, had completely exhausted him.
This and complication of troubles
caused him to grow weaker and weaker.
On Tuesday he commenced growing
rapidly worse, and finally died this
morning. The funeral services will
be held Friday morning at 10 O'Clock, at
DIR. Newton's church, Madison avenue
and Sixty-sixth street, New York city.
The story of George Jones's life is the
story of the founding and building up of
the New York Times. Although Jones
had reached the age of 40 years when he
Joined Henry J. Raymond in establish
ing the Times, he had already made
his way to success and competence in
other business enterprises. His earliest
inclinations brought him into the field
of New York journalism, and his return
to it as founder and publisher OF the
Times was but the fulfillment of his
youthful ambitions, and from the day
when the first copy of the Times was
issued to the day of his death Jones
devoted to it, to the exclusion OF all
other interests and affairs, his undivided
time and energies. His success has
been the success OF the journal he con-
trolled. His honorable career and re-
pute are inseparably associated with the
career and standing of his newspaper.
It was in 1888 that Jones came to New
York. Greeley had preceded him by
two years. 1t was in the business office
of Horace Greeley's Tribune that Jones
became first connected with journalism.
In their early journalistic life they were
closely associated.

OF the Vermont Legislature Called.
Proctor to Succeed Edmunds.
ST. JoHNsBURY, VT, August 12-Gov.
ernor Page has issued a proclamation
for special session OF the legislature, to
convene Tuesday, August 25th. One
cause for calling it is to take action in
regard to the direct tax money due the
state. Governor Page says the Colum-
bian exposition appropriation will un-
doubtedly be handsomely increased. 1t
is believed that Governor Page will
make known his choice for successor
to Senator Edmunds before the extra
session meets. So far as can be ascer-
tanned, the state is substantially unit
in support of Secretary Proctor for the
position.

Coalition In England.
LONDON, August 12.-In his speech at
Plymouth yesterday, Balfour, besides
outlining the provisions of the local
government bill for Ireland, which it is
his intention to introduce at the next
session of parliament, praised the
patriotism and self-sacrifce shown
by the Liberal Unionists. Their ex-
ample of public spirit, he de-
clared, has borne fruit. He believed
that what at first was only an alliance
with the Conservative party had now
become close union which neither the
chances nor changes of political life are
likely 10 impair. For more than gen.
eration, Balfour said, there had been no
vital difference of opinion on the great
questions between the moderate Con-
servatives and moderate Radicals.
