COSTLY RECIPROCITY.
SERIOUS TANGLE CAUSED BY
M,kINLEYISM.
Colombian Claims for Refund of
Duties Will Probably Have
to Be Paid.

WASHINGTON, Aug. PA secret has
leaked out from diplomatic circles to the
effect that our government has become
sadly entangled with one of the Central
American republics as result of the
reciprocity treaties, and will have bill
to pay beside which the BeEing sea
claims will appear trivial i'll amount.
The country in question is the United
States of Colombia. one of the Central
American republics which steadily re-
fused all efforts of the state department
to induce it to become party to one of
these reciprocity treaties. Moreover,
when her sister republics and Spain Gas
to Cuba and Porto -Ricol began to-. ship
their products duty-free to the
United States under the terms
their new treaties, Colombia claimed
the same exemption for her staples,
hides, coffee, sugars and molasses. The
state department. rejected this claim. as
it was Obliged to, else the whole fabric
of treaties would have fallen.the United
States being able to offer no induce
ments otherwise. Colombia persisted
in her cloim, and pointed to the treaty
bians shall not be assessed any duties
upon their products imported into the
United States higher than On like arti-
cles imported from any other foreign
country. That meant. they contended,
it the staples above mentioned entered
the United States free from Brazil and
Cuba they should enter free from
Colo mbia also regardless Of reciprocity
treaties. They have never abated this
contentious; many letters have been
exchanged on the subject, and at last
the United States has Deen obliged to
admit the strength and correctness of
the Columbian position. This being
done, it follows that the government
must refund to importers the amounts
they have paid in duties on Colombian
products which should have been free,
or admitted at lower rates.
just what the total will amount to no
one can tell at present, but steps are
being taken to ascertain the amount
from statistics. The United States
uery recently induced Spain to order
refund of S5.0O0.000 collected errone-
ously upon our exports to Cuba, but a
stronger case still is found in an in
stance where Great Britain was obliged
to refund to US under the terms of
treaty closely corresponding with that
between the United States and Colom-
bia.

GEN. EZETA IN COURT.
HIS CASE CONTINUED UNTIL
SEPT. 8.
Motion That He Be Admitted to
Bail Not AIlowed-Awaiting
Papers From Salvador.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 24.-Gen. An
tonic Ezeta and his fellow refugees
from San Salvador were prisoners be-
fore Judge Morrow in the United States
district court this morning. The attor-
neys who came on from New York to
defend them had been in consultation
with them nearly all night. AS the
prisoners appeared in court Ezeta. who
Is fine physical specimen with de-
cided features and courtly bearing, was
the most observed. From his waist
coat hung magnificent gold chain,
studded with diamonds.
The generals enemies in the court
room pointed it out as a relic of his
cruel reign in San Salvador. They said
it had formerly been the property of
Carlos MendeneZ, millionaire planter
who had been robbed of his wealth by
the Ezetas, and that the chain was
among the spoils greedily seized by
Antonio. The court proceedings were
opened by United States Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Garth. who stated that
the warrants had been issued in con-
tormity with mandate issued by the
secretary of state. Mr.. Garth stated
that he appeared in the case at the re-
quest of the attorney general of the
United States. He explained that the
United States government had no fur
ther interest III the proceeding than to
see thaS they are regular and proper.
Then, after the process in the case
had been read, Attorney Garth
stated that the United States govern
ment left the further prose cution to the
private attorney in the employ of the
Salvadorean government. AT this
juncture, the prisoners counsel inter-
posed and demanded an immediate
hearing under the charges. They
stoutly maintained that the prisoners
were
Political Refugees
and were unlawfully detained, and that
they had been illegally restrained since
June 6. last. Ezeta, 1t was argued. was
then president of the de facto govern
ment, and was afforded asylum on an
American man-of-war at the time there
was no authority in San Salvador which
the government could recognize. 1t
became necessary for them to tight their
way to the coast, where they asked and
were accorded asylum on the Bennng-
ton until they could board the steamer
San Bias. Objection was therefore
made for continuance.
The attorneys for the government Of
San Salvador argued as earnestly to
show the justice of continuance. They
asserted that the important evidence
against the accused had yet to arrive,
and that the official seals to certain nec-
essary dispositions had been omitted
Besides there were number of depo-
sltions in Spanish. intermixed with the
idioms of speech common to San Saliva
dor, and 1t would ake some time for
their translation. A continuance until
Sept. IL was asked fer. A steamer said
to bear documents of Importance to the
prosecution will arrive here shortly.
After listening to the arguments pro
and con, Judge Morrow continued the
cases until Monday, Sept. 8, declaring
til at the treaty with San Salvador pro-
vides for such continuance, and that

the delay asked for was not unreasona-
bic. TheTeupon' Counsel for the defense
immediately moved that the defendants
be admitted to bali. The motion was
taken under adylsement. though Judge
Morrow stated that he had no doubt
that the law would debar him from re-
leasing the defendants. Finally the
defense objected to the jurisdiction of
tile court, arguing that the defendants
had been brought into the United States
against their will. 1t was stated that
the case was different from any other In
this respect. The men had not been
found within the country, but had been
forcibly brought into it. The point was

CHICAGO. Aug. 24.-The great match
race between the PAGERS Robert j and
Joe Patchen had its disappointmenta
along with its merits. In the first
place, it WAS one-sided, Robert j win.
ming easily in straight heats. In the
second place, the worlds record for
three fastest heats in pace was broken,
tn average being 2:06. The first heat
worked the crowd up to the highest

"What next?" Curry was only feel4

clip that threatened to be a world
breaker, and when the timers hung out

could scarcely contain themselves, so
sure were they that the high mark Of
2:04, which has stood so long, would bs

heat he could not make any show what
ever, and finished fifteen lengths

slow and the time was the same as the
preceding heat. Geers had missed his
opportunity in the second heat. Never.

The other races were won IN straight
heats, and the feature was the pro-

her chances are good. Monroe Salisbury

ceived here from Pretoria, dated Aug.
z. say that the unexpected submission
of Chief Malaboch has been ioyfnfly re-

flag, accompanied by his brother, his
two young sons and four Indians,
emerged from the caves in which they
had sought refuge and surrendered to
the Beers. But the chief did not sur
render until his enemies had employed
every means, including the smoke OF
large fires, to drive him from his place
of refuge. The chief was very down
cast after his surrender. and twice at
tempted to commit suicide by plunging
into the camp fire. Upon both occasions
he was rescued with diff Guilty. He
was badly burned. Chief Malaboch
and his party were being escorted to
the lager OF the Beers, and one of the

FRANKLIN, WASH, Aug. 24.-At fif-
teen minutes to l o'clock this after
noon fire was noticed by some of the
drivers on the sixth north level and
notice was gwen to the men working
in different places, some in the breast
about the level and others along the
gangway, as soon as 1t was known there
was a fire. Many of the men in the
gangways rushed back to notify the
miners further in, while others rushed
out and reached the main shaft. 1t is
certain that all the men in the breast
reached the gangway in safety. In all
about seventy men were at work
In the sixth level north, and
of that number about forty lin
gered at breast 62, where the
fire originated, and made an attempt to
put out the fire. The breast was burn
ing fercely, and before the miners
knew it the fire had communicated to
breasts sixty and sixty one,a and soon be-
gan to issue from brest slXty-one in that
immediate vicinity. Several of those
who fingered at the burning breast six
ty-two took warning and fled, but all
who remained were overcome and as
phyxiated. 1t is evident that all the
men had time to come out, for those
who worked in the further breast
reached the shaft in safety, while those
who were nearest the shaft, and conse-
quentlv more removed from danger,
perished. They evidently believed
they were in perfect safety from the
FIRE, but while they fingered, the smoke
oozed out from outside piece further
south. and the bodies were all found
south of brest sixty-two. They were
all found along within space Of 900
feet.
Several men were badly bruised, and
one colored man was taken out with a
brocken neck, their wounds indicating
that they had thrown themselves
against posts and timber of the gang
way in
wild and Desperate
endeavor to escape. But the majority
of the bodies bear no marks at all, not
even a scratch, and their features were
in quiet repose, indicating that their
death had been speedy and painless
one. AS soon as the alarm whistle
sounded from the engine house people
began to crowd around the mouth of the
slope, and the cry The mine Is OIL
