EzETA'S FRIEND. THROWN OUT.
A New Consul From San Salvador 4
San Francisco.

New Consul From San Salvador In
San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. l9.--The Ex-
iner says:
San Salvador has a new consul in
this city. Carlos Yiingoye NH as been
removed and the place has been given
to DIR. Estorjo Calderon. who has been
livi in San Francisco during the
past TWO years. DR.. Calderon is
native of Guatemala. He closely sym
pathizss with the present government
and Is bitter enemy of the Ezetas, by
whom he was tortured as punishment
for taking part in the revolution
against them. The appointment of
Calderon is the latest move made by
the Salvadorlan government in the
Ezeta matter and, in fact, one of the
most important.
1t is plain that the govern ment of
San Salvador had good cause 10 mis-
trust Mr.. Yrlngoyen. 1t was believed
from the first that Yringoyen was
friendly toward Ezeta and 1t was
thought that his hurried trip east was
partly in Ezeta's interest. What has
strengthened this belief in the minds of
Minister Guzman and his assistants at
Washington have been letters and tele-
grams from residents of this city call
ing attention to several facts In connec-
ton with Yringoyen and the Ezetas.
The appointment by Yringoyen of Mr..
u ,mas as acting consul Is considered
by Salvadorians here as another at
tempt to help the EZstas.
One of the kilograms sent 10 DR.. Guz-
man was from DR.. Calderson, and it
fully outlined the situation and called
particular attention TO the amicable re-
lations between the consul and An
tonic Ezeta. Mr.. Yringoyen had
served as consul under the presidency
of Carlos Ezeta, and b al been highly
favored by him. 1t was natural that II
return of favors be made at this time,
when Antonio was in dire peril. DIR.
Calderon also sent Il telegram to Piesi-
dent Gutierrez, in which he laid the
situation before him ard offered TO act
as consul.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-senator
Davis of Minnesota, u member of the
committee on foreign relations, expects
great things from the new treaty With
China. He says it will prove most
beneficial to our commercial interests,
which for years have been INSTRUCTED
by the contention over the question OF
immigration. Chinese immigration is
now made unlawful by both countries.
The Chinese use silver in trade, but
produce little of 1t. This should give
our silver mines market. In 1892
China's imports were 1923, 500, 900 and
her exports $l02. 700. 900. Great Britain
furnished $40, 900. 600 of the imports
and took $50, 900, 600 in exports, giving
a balance in her favor of $50. 900, 600.
The United States share of imports
was but Sc, 900, 600 and she had $780,
600, 900 of exports. Now her access to
% treaty ports is as free as any other
nation.
