DIAz WOULD ASSIST.
Said the Mexican President Is Desir-
ous of Establishing the Central
American Republic.
WOULD STOP REVOLUTIONS
And Give the Stability Necessary For
Prosperity---The Scheme of
General Ezeta.
WOULD STOP REVOLUTIONS

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 26.-The inter-
est of President Diaz of Mexico, i'm
Ezeta, is said to be due to Mexico's de-
sire for the formation of general re-
public of Central American countries,
believing that it will end the revolu.
tions which injure commerce and re-
tard development.
Ezeta intends to get aid from the
Mexican government to regain his pres
tige in San Salvador, said Colonel Cien-
fuegos. who talked about the matter.
"Most of his old soldiers will turn to
his standard, for he is confident that he
can overthrow his enemies. A revolu-
tion in San Salvador is always welcome
and the general will 60 we'll prepared
and when (he enters San Salvador, he
will be at the head of troops enough to
force his way as he desires.
Diaz WIN Give Support.
Eyes, President Diaz of Mexico will
support Ezeta as far as he can, and
there is no doubt that all the circum-
stances are in his favor. The people of
Mexico thoroughly understand the San
Salvador affair, and they believe in the
cause of Ezeta.
"If the general succeeds in this cam
paign (Which he proposes to carry ON
vigorously, Immediately after his arri-
val in Mexico) the result will probably
be the organization of one common re-
public of all the Central American
states. That plan has been under con-
sideration for long time, and all the
governments except Guatemala are
favorable to it. Unfortunately Guate-
mala stands in the way, geographically
as well as politically, and nothing can
be done without her consent. Ezeta,
however, is confident that even Guate-
mala will accede to the proposition, and
that the result will be strong and
prosperous republic.
Might Trump Up Charges.
Attorney Charles Page, in discussing
Ezeta's sudden departure for Mexico,
said:
1--WE advised General Ezeta to leave
at once, chiefly because of danger of
other charges being brought against
him. At first he said he would not go:
that he liked San Francisco, and wanted
to stay here" ....... ~
Judge Morrow had felt that he must
take cognizance of some of the evidence,
as in the Cienfuegos case, it having
come from another country. At the
same time had it been in regard to a
case that occurred here, it would, from
the nature of the imperfections, have
been thrown out. An agriculturist and
a bricklayer testified, it will be remem-
bered. Well they could get lots
of just such evidence. 1t is fixed
up and the officials then say "SiQn''
and they sign quick enough for if they
did not they would be shot. The dan.
ger was that they would, getting the
cue from the Cienfuegos case, go back
before the revolution, and trump mn
cases against Ezeta. He was the man
they wanted to hold They did not
care for the others particularly. So in
view Of this danger, we had to insist
that he get ont and go over into Mexico.
Oh. yes, expect he will proceed to
overturn things, but whether Mexico is
going to help him, L cannot say. He is
an active man and you cannot keep
him uuint - ,f&
