IS NOT A CoNsPIRATOR NOW.
An American Citizenship Is His
Aim.
BRANDS A STORY AS A FAKE.
His Two Daughters Will Be Edu-
Gated and Make Their Home in
San Francisco.

General Antonio Ezsts arrived In San
Francisco last evening at o'clock. from
the City of Mexico. and is domicIed In
rooms at the California.
The ex-President of Salvador is not con-
spring. He has no hankerings to become
again the ruler of that turbulent little re-
pubic, where the insiduous insurrectlOu
and the merry revolution are so contlnu-
ally cropping up. He yearns to be prl-
vste citizen, and proposes to become
subject of the great people OF the United
States, at whose head snail be the PreSi-
dent VINO succeeds Grover Cleveland. Not
that the general has anything against
Grover, but because the necessary five
years of residence to become voter in
these United States will let that great dig
nitary distinctly out of it.
General Ezeta, ones the stains of travel
were removed after his hasty journey,
looKed much better than at any time dur
ing his former stay in this city. His cheeks
had a healthier hue, and the glossy black
had grown over the ugly scar in his head
made by that fugitive bullet on the bloody
field of Santana. He was glad to see the
friends he had made. who made haste to
call upon him, and was amused when he
heard of the idle story printed in a morn
ing paper that he had made the long jour
ney Oh love intent.
"The general never saw the lady men,
toned but once" said the interpreter, as
he translated General Ezeta's statement,
land then but for a few moments. l
translated the account to him on the train
t,-day, and the idea was so manifesty
made out of whole cloth that it didn't
even annoy him. You can say that be
states emphatically that there is not the
least particle of foundation for the story
General Ezeta states that he is not here
as an agent of the Mexican Government to
purchase arms and ammunition for the use
of the soldiers Of that Republic in a war
with Guatemala, as has been published.
In the first place, it Mexico needed arms or
ammunition she has sufficient arsenals and
factories of her Own TO supply them and
would have no need Of sending any one
out of the country to procure them. Sec
ondly. General Ezeta comes to San Fran
cisco for he sole and only purpose of re-
ceiyiDg his two daughters. Ottilie, aged 5,
and Mercedes, 8 years old, who are in
charge of his OLD friend, DR.. Galndo. If
everything goes right and they have been
allowed TO leave La Libertad, as he hoped,
they will arrive here on Saturday. If the
Government OF Salvador has prevented
their departure, which is not altogether
improbable, the general will appeal to
General DiaZ, President of Mexico, to use
his influence that they may be allowed to
leave Salvador.
From accounts received OF the trend of
events in Salvador since his flight, General
Ezeta has been IN constant fear for the
safety OF his family. He has been reliably
Informed that his son and heir, only 2
years Of age, was secretly poisoned by
some person supposed to be an agent Of
the new Government. With this in his
mind. he is not altogether satisfied that his
tile daughters have been allowed to leave
the country.
SHOULD they arrive here safe and sound
they will be placed in the care of an old
lady, friend of the family 10 the old
Salvadcran days, and educated to be
San Franciseans. The general, despite
the fact that he was kept pretty
close indoors for most of his stay in this
city on a former occasion, became much
Impressed with Americans particularly
San Franciscan ways. He has. therefore,
determined that his daughters shall grow
up 10 this atmosphere, and that he himself
will call 1t his home. For several years to
come il may be necessary for him to do
considerable travelling, but he will con-
iinue to look upon San Francisco. the
home of his daughters. as the dearest city
on earth to him.
"At the present time, and, in fact, at no
time, has General Ezsia any idea Of re-
turning to Salvador sword in baud to
foment rebellion. He, as he stated before,
has determined TO become private citi-
zen and the only time he shall gladly
take up the sword again will be if the
United States needs it. He will begin the
study of English under teacher already
selected and hopes to make rapid progress
in the mastery of the language of hi:
adopted country.
There is just one condition upon which
he says he would return to Salvador. In
the event that things should so change
some day that one of his friends should
come to power. he will then return tc
claim the property he was compelled ia
abandon when flying for his life from the
successful reVOlutionists. There is about
100000 worth of it. That is the only in
vasion of Salvador General Ezeta states be
contemplates."
Should his family arrive on the next
steamer General Ezeta has concluded tt
