ANTONIO EZETA'S CASE.
Carlos Urrutia Discusses the Causes
Leading to the Generals Flight.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 3.-The case of
Gen. Antonio Ezeta, of San Salvador is
ready for hearing before Judge Morrow, in
the United States District Court, on Tues
day. IL is probable that Carlos Urrutia, for
merly private secretary to Carlos Ezeta, the
deposed President Of the republic, will be
one of the chief witnesses for Antonio dur
ing these proceedings. He has arrived from
New York, and has paid a visit TO General
EZeta at the latters hotel. The General
received Urrutia cordially. knowing that he
brought word from Carlos, who is now in
Europe. In an interview the ex-secretary
stated that Carlos left New York about the
middle of July for Paris, where he will
remain short time and then will reside
permanently in Madrid
Secretary Urrutia said that one OF the
immediate incentives of the late revolution
was because President Ezeta made the law
prohibiting the introduction of silver into
the republic. 1t was his intention to place
gold on the same basis, but strong pro-
test was made by the wealthy agricultur
lists; furthermore, the Salvadorians, who
are mostly of the Catholic religion, made a
vigorous fight against a law granting abso-
lutte divorce During the revolt at Santa
Anna one of the leaders, said Senor Urru-
tia, was Francisco Purtado, who had bus
mess transaction with President Ezeta, to
whom Purtado owed $4,000. Purtado being
unable TO pay the money. EZeta seized his
property. This caused Ill feeling on the part
of Purtado, and he vowed vengeance Pur-
tado saw his opportunity. and Immediately
made war against the EZetas. and during
the revolution was made commander of the
stronghold of Santa Anna. During the rev.
Olution, Notwithstanding that Honduras and
Nicaragua had promised to not interfere
with them one way or another. both gov
ernments broke their promise and allowed
men 10 be sent out to help the rebels. On
May 3, after EZeta had gone to the front
with a large army, and when he was
wounded, the command of the army rested
on Gen. Leon Botanos. But a report was
soon circulated that Antonio Ezeta had died
and that caused the Generalization of the
victory, left Salvador with his Minister of
War, number of officers and his secre-
tary, on July 3, for Panama, and then to
New York.
Speaking. of Gen. Antonio Ezeta and his
staff, Seror Urrutia states that they are
quite confident that the United States gov
ernment will not return them TO Salvador
The eX-Vice President says that If he is
liberated he will visit New York, and then
live, being on friendly terms with President
Diaz. Senor Urrutia states that he has re-
ceived a safe conduct from President
Rafael Gutierrez to return TO his native
land, but for the present he will remain
in this city to await the fate of Antonio
Ezeta. For nearly seven years Urrutia
served the government of Salvador and was
ex-PreSident EZeta's dearest friend during
the latters administration. When the Pres
young man followed and left him in New
York

PRINCE KOMATZU.
Hurrying Back to Japan After Studying
Modern Methods of Warfare.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3-Prince Ko-
matzu, a cousin of his Majesty, the EN-
peror of Japan, has arrived from the East
accompanied by n. S. Nagasaki, his cham
berlain. The Prince registered as Count
Mishima, of Toxic. "He has been travelling
incognito," explained the chamberlain, for
the reason that he does not desire to be
received with all the ceremony people might
wish to bestow upon a member of the i'm
perial family
The father of Prince Komatzu is the
uncle of the present Emperor of Japan,
which makes his connection with the i'm
perial family very close. He was edu-
Gated abroad, and speaks English and
French huently and dresses in the latest
French fashion. A year ago he was sent
to Europe by the Japanese Emperor to
study the methods of modern warfare as
pursued by the nations of Europe. He
passed through America by way of Van
couver and Montreal in August Of last
year, and has since been pursuing the du-
ties of his mission to France. He says that
he was on the point of projecting a trip
from Marseilles through the Mediterranean
and Red seas TO India, and from the ASiatic
coast to Japan. When he heard that war
had been declared he decided TO hasten
nome without loss of time, and decided to
come by way of America because it was
the quickest route.

OUR HAWAIIAN HAVEN
PEARL HARBOR DISCUSSED BY
REAR ADMIRAL WALKER.
He Says 1t Is One of the Finest I'm
the WSOrld-A COnsuI's Report on
Artificial SILK Making.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-Rear Admiral
Walker. who is In the city for the purpose
Of laying before the Navy Department the
information acquired by him in his recent
trip to the Hawaiian Islands, speaking to-
day of the affairs in the islands, said:
Everything was quiet at Honolulu when
L left there in August. and there was no
prospect OF an outbreak. The new repub-
lican government seems to be firmly estab-
lshed and thoroughly competent to take
care OF itself unless there is interference
from the outside. Pearl river harbor, where
1t is proposed to establish a United States
coaling station, is one Of the finest har-
bors in the world, and is large enough to
accommodate all the ships afioat. All it
wants is the removal of little bar at it's
entrance. This bar is all sand. and can be
easily taken out in a reasonable time and
at small expense. 1t was thoroughly sur
veyed while there by Max Wood, one
of our officers"
How about annexation?'
"oh. cannot say anything on that sub
ject. except that the sentiment among the
people for annexation to the United States
still appears to be very strong BY the
way. Honolulu is a most charming place,
and / had most delightful experience
there. When shall / take charge of the
Naval Academy? Well, that depends al
together on circumstances. / will have to
remain in Washington for some time for
the purpose Of comforting with the Secre-
tary Of State and the Secretary of the
Navy in regard to affairs in Hawaii. They
may want more information than l have
given them in my report. How long that
Will keep me here 1 don't know. But the
probabilities are that / shall not go to An
napolis much before the beginning Of the
next term, early in October

APPEAL FOR ASSISTANCE
Proclamation Is ued by the Gov
ernOr of the Afflicted State.
Experiences OF Survivors of the Illfated
Train-FOrest Fires in Wisconsin,
Michigan and Elsewhere.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. S.-The Pioneer
Press, which has largo md reliable force
of staff and regular correspondents in the
fire-swept district OF the State. says: The
latest verified reports of the number of
dead do not materially alter the former es-
Inmates. In fact, that estimate is proving
remarkably exact, considering the confu-,
sion of the first day. One element that
makes close figuring very difficult is the
fact that bodies seen in the woods and
along the track not infrequently report
ed to two points and sent out from each
among its dead. Then, too the tendency
of the occasion, bad as it is, is to exag-
geration However, eliminating these doubt
full elements as far as possible from it's ap-
Proclamation, the Pioneer Press is convinced
that the total is as nearly exact as poss-
bic. The number of dead at IIinckley is
placed at two hundred. One of the papers
correspondents has actually counted 1914 of
these, and the margin allowed about all
that is necessary. The figures are as fol-
lows:
Hinckiey ........... 200
sandstone ......... 62
Miller IL
Between skunk Lake and Miller II
POi<eEama ................. 2S
In lumber camps and scattering
(estimated) so
Total ................... .3G4
To-days details simply confirm the re-
ports received yesterday as to the magni-
tude of the Hnclzley disaster The most
conservative estimates of the dead in the
six or eight towns in Pine county is ssi,
as shown above, and from that figure go
up to 1000. Although the exact number of
dead will never be known, enough is known
to make this one OF the most appalling dis
asters in American history. More have per-
ished, but never so many in so terrible a
have been of death and few could be made
to talk about their business losses. 1t is
probable the loss at and around Hinckley
will exceed s2,OOOOOO. although no careful
they be made where all papers and records
have gone up in the same flames that so
quickly devoured all the houses, the veg
citation and almost the land in a large Sec
tion of Pine county. Rains to-day cleared
the air somewhat from smoke, but were
not heavy enough to entirely quench the
fires which would break out on SLIGHT
provocation if they had aught to feed up
on. OF the fires across In Wisconsin less
is known here up to midnight, but there
has been no loss of life reported, and it is
hoped all is over. Notwithstanding to-
days showers, however, the ground is dry
and parched, and all vegetation so dry it
would ignite easily and burn with horrible
rapidity.

THE SCARCITY OF GOLD.

The world is suffering from the scarcity
of gold, cay the b!mstsllists. There does
appear to be scarcity of gold in the treas
ury of the United States, aad few inhabi-
tants of this country have all the gold they
want. But the Bank of Essland is not
suffering from the want of gold. The bank
reports this week $16s, ,07S, 275 gold, in
comparison with $120, ,O35, ,175 in the cor
responding week of 1898, $l2s, 1893, ,470 in
1892 and $121 1886, 545 in 1891. Here is an
increase of $4s .O43, 100 since last year, an
increase of 1854. sos in comparison
with the figures of two years ego, and
an increase of SAG. TAI, 730 in oompari-
son with the return of 1891. The
augmentation of the banking reserve
is even more impressive. The reserve
stands at present at $13l. ATS, $50, in COM
parison with a reserve of sos, 97O, ATS one
year ago, of $s2 ,972 $50 two years ago, and
of $50. 347, 1896 in the last week of May,
1891. Thus the current reserve is $62,
5O7, ,s75 larger than ia 1898, $49, sos, 73O
larger than in 1892 and $51, 100, 455 larger
than in 1891.
The Bank of France is also pretty well
supplied with gold. Perhaps the whole
world is not suffering from a scarcity of
gold, but some parts of 1t are suffering
from their inability to get and hold gold.

The Inhabitants of this region are not
out on the ocean sailing, but they have
been out of sight of dry land for week
And the pluvia1 proceedings during that
time have given them an opportunity to
dimly realize how Noah felt when he heard
the persistent, psttsr of the rain on the
roof of his ark and looked out into
the general and wearying wetness. A poet
has sung pleasinaly about the pstter of the
rain on the roof, but he was not member
of Noah's mensgerie and compelled to hear
the said patter for forty days and forty
nights. Aud he did not write his
patter poem after hearing the patter for
week, for after the patter has been heard
for week 1t loses all the poetry that has
been discovered in it when heard for an
hour or two, and inspires thoughts of
colds, wet feet, wet clothes, stolen umbrel-
lac, and other unpoetical things. But
Though this has not been a poeticsl week
