SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 22.-The singular
complications involving the liberty of Gen
eral Antonio Ezeta and his fellow refugees
which has been so prolific OF opera bouffe
sensations developed a new tangle of con
ficting authority today. Warrants were
finally issued for the arrest of the refugees,
but the local federal authorities got
tangled Up in government red tape aud the
Warrants could not be served.
United States Marshal Baldwin, armed
with the authority of the federal courts,
ret out to have the refugees brought with
In the jurisdiction of the law, but he ran
ap against Captain Howison, the naval
officer who commands at Mare Island
navv yard. Captain HowisOu declared
that he had no authority to furnish trans"
portation 10 the United States marshal
aud he refused to place that official on
board the Bennington Without the as
distance Of the navy departm ent the mar
thai could not reach the gun boat.
MARSHAL GETS SMALL PAY.
In the first place the law allows the
marshal but g for serving each warrant,
and under this compensation he could not
afford to hire A tug boat. Furthermore,
Captain Thomas of the Bennington, has
stTlCB DIOtGS 10 ltttiFG no DAS Oh Doo4t - us
ship hut accredited naval officers from
Mare Island Under these conditions the
United States marshal must have the
assistance of the naval authorities II he
shall ever arrest the culprIts OF whom he
Is in pursuit.
Ali this afternoon ths marshal aud Cap
tain HoV-'son have been in Teiegraphic
communication with their superiors ut
Washington and if they succeed in estab-
fishing harmonious relations between the
departments Of the government which
they represent, it Is probable that tomOr-
row the navy department will bring the
refugees In TO the United States marshal
or permit him to go to sea On board the
Bennington before she arrives within the
three mile limit.
