SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. AO.-NeHeia'
Antonio Ezeta and his fellow refugees
are prisoners at last by the authority
of the United States district court.
The warrants of arrest were served
this afternoon. Early this morning
the local federal officials received noti-
tication that the differences between
the navy department and the depart
nent OF justice had been compromised,
ut least in a measure. and that the
naval authorities of Mare Island would
permit the United States marshal to
serve the warrants. The navy depart
meut maintained its position on one
point. however. 1t would not furnish
TRANSPORTATION for the marshal and his
deputies to the gun boat. The marshal,
too. was determined to uphold tue
department of government which he
ranreseuts, He refused to charter tug,
and there seemed possibility that the
refugees would be left to die on the
high seas.
A Foreigner to the Rescue.
DR.. Calderon, the local consul of San
Salvador, finally interceded, however,
and prevented any serious rupture be-
tween these clashing departments of
the United States government. he
went into his own purse for money
and chartered tug. At O'Clock this
morning the tug steamed out through
the heads.
The tug, which singularly enough
was named "Reiief." arrived alongside
the Bennington about 8 o'clock in the
morning. After the formalities neces-
sary to fully sustain the dignity of the
navy department were over, Marshal
Baldwin and his deputies went on
board the guu boat. The tugboat Re-
lief then steamed away. heading for
port. Immediately afterward the Ben
nington's anchors were hoisted. A
few minutes later the Bennington was
steaming toward San Francisco.
At 2 O'Clock this afternoon the Ben
nington steameA in through the Golden
Gate. That the refugees are under ar
rest now there is no doubt, for Marshal
Baldwin and his deputies went on
board the gunboat for the purpose OF
taking them prisoners when the Ben
nington should have passed within the
three mile limit.
May Be Yellow Fever Aboard.
The Bennington passed up the bay
and came to anchor off the quarantine
station. She comes from port in
tested with yellow fever. This fact
soon gave rise to report along the
water front that the guuboat has q
cases of yellow fever on board. Neither
Lieutenant Stoney nor Consul Calderon
would deny the report or say anything
about the arrest of the refugees. The
yellow fever yarn finds believers. how
ever.
Marshal Baldwin and his deputies
are still ON board The cruiser with the
men supposed TO be their prisoners.
When they will come ashore is not
known, but it Is believed that the opera
bOuffe features of the Ezeta case are
about over and that the serious tea
lures of this International complica-
lion will demand public attention to-
morrow. 1t is thought that tomorrow
the five refugees will be taken before
United States District Judge Morrow,
who issued the warrants for their arrest.
Then will begin proceedings that will
determine whether the five men shall
be given their freedom or be taken
back to San Salvador to he shot by
their political enemies, tho successful
revOlutionists.
