dispatch stating that the company's
steamer City of Panama had been seized

gee bound from Cerinto, Nicaragua, to
San Jose de Guatemala. How this con-
Germs the San Salvadoreans is not stated,

Union. Captain White refused to com
ply with the order and the COM
mandant of the port re-.
fused him clearance papers. He.
sailed without them, telegraphing the
information to the agent at Panama,
who advised him to make the port Of
San Jose de Guatemala direct, fearing
the wrath of President Ezeta, VINO has
an armed force at Acajutla. Captain
White, no doubt, had to stop at La Ii
bertad to let off passengers. There he
was told that his ship would be confis-
Gated unless he gave up the five political
refugees, whose names are not given.
He again refused to give up the men,
who were under the protection of the
American flag, and he was not allowed
to proceed on his way. Nothing fur
ther has been heard from Captain
White. The matter has been referred
to the state department at Washington,
