Another Trial,

capt sampson. chief Of the bureau of
ha'ai ordnance. today submitted to Secre-
ary herbert the report Of the naval board
'na' conducted the recent competitive tests
Oh macnine guns at the Washington navy
yard and at the Indian Head nrovinv
grounds. The board reported that no ono
OF tne guns tried was entirely satisfactory
ana recommended that another test he had
ana that additional guns be entered for
competition The main cause of the failure
OF the recent test was the bad working
or the ammunition There is Considerable
disappointment in naval circles at the re-
suit OF the tests as 1t will naturally delay
the proposed Improvement of the secondary
batteries OF our war ships. which is con-
sidered the only weak feature of their
ordnance. The probabilities are that the
secretary VIII act In accordance with tine
recommendation Of the board and order
another trial in the hope Of having more
competitors.

THE SALvADORAN REFUGEES
An Order for Their Arrest Issued to DR..
Gusman.
The Bennington to Keep Outside the
Three-MfIe Limit Until 1t
Can he Served.

The case Of the Salvadoran refugees on
board the gunboat Bennington has assumed
an entirely new phase. This is the result
of a decision. said to have been reached by
the administration. that the charges against
Ezeta and his three compenions, are too
serious to justify the risk of their release
by habeas corpus proceedings on the ART
val Of the Bennington at San Francisco
That vessel left Acapulco. Mexico on the
I'd instant for San Francisco direct, and is
already overdue
A Warrant for Their Arrest.
Although not ofH@ally admitted. 1t is un-
derstood that Secretary Gresham issued a
preliminary warrant for the arrest Of the
four refugees to DIR. Guzman, the Saliva
doran minister, on Friday last, and that
Acting Secretary McAdoo has sent instruc-
tions to Capt. Thomas. commanding the
bennington, to remain outside of the three
mil es limit of the United States Jurisdiction
until the warrant shall have been served on
the Ezeta refugees. The legal document has
been mailed to the representative of Saliva
dor IN San Francisco, and will reach him
about Thursday or Friday.
Why Outside the Limit.
The object of keeping the Bennington
outside of the three-mile limit Is to prevent
the release of the Salvadorans in advance
Of the final judgment Of the executive in
the case. This action was taken in view Of
the announced intention of the counsel Of
the refugees to apply for a writ of habeas
corpus just as soon as the Bennington
touched American soil. 1t was feared that
II the Bennington came within the three
mile limit Ezeta's lawyers would get out a
writ before they could be prevented 1t
was thought best, therefore, to keep the
Bennington three miles away from the
coast, where a writ cannot reach her
California COurts to Decide.
The service of the warrant issued by the
State Department will require the courts
Of California to determine whether or not
companions are substantiated by the proof
which the Salvadoran government gyill
oHer, ana whether or not they can be ex-
tradited. Dr. Guzman has already laid be-
fore the State Department the charges up
on which the refugees are to be tried. They
include murder arson, robbery, embezzle-
ment and malfeasance in office and there
Is any quantity Of sworn statements ac-
companying the charges as proof
Under the treaty with Salvador these Of
lenses are extradttable, and unless Ezeta
and his companions can prove that the
charges are false they will be given up tc
the Salvadoran authorities for trial
Criticism I'm DiplOMafac Circles,
There is considerable criticism in diplo-
matte circles in regard to the alleged course
OF the President In shifting responsibility
IN, IN TINS case after holding 1t In abeyance so
long. 1t Is generally conceded that if the
refugees are extradited to Saliva dor they
Will be condemned to death and summarily
executed.

DEAD IN HIS BED.
Sudden Demise of Famous Cavalry
 oHcer at Richmond.

Sudden Demise of Famous Cavalry
 Officer at Richmond.
 RICHMOND, April 9.-Captain Jas Pollard, assistant superintendent and adjutant of Lee Camp Soldiers Home, was found dead in his bed. He was famous by being in command of the squadron of cavalry that killed Gen. Dahlgren i'll his notable raid around Richmond in the spring of 1961 The raid was organized for the purpose of capturing Richmond, releasing the prisonerssin Libby and other Federal prisons here. The raid was nnsuccess- ful. Dahlgren reached within three or four miles of the city, but met body of reserve troops on the Cary street road, who repulsed him and forced him to change his route. He was shot and killed d few days later in King William county, by detachment of cavalry, of which Captain Pollard was in charge. The body of General Dahl gren was brought here secretly and buried it Oakwood cemetery at night unknown to but few persons The un- dertaker. however. was Union man, and few nights after visited the cemetery, disinterred the body and re- moved 1t just beyond the corporate limits. There it remained until the close of the war, when Admiral Dahl gren, the father of the deceased Fed eral officer, was informed of the facts and came OH here and removed the re- mains to Pennsylvania. where they were reinterred and a monument placed over the grave It is insisted that papers found upon the person of Dahlgren, and which are now in the possession of an historical society. fully confirm the charge that the dead officer was directed to burn Richmond, re- lease the prisoners and probably de- vastate the country.
