SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16.-New and I'M
expected complications have arisen here IN
the EZeta case. It became known today
that warrants for the arrest of the refugees
have been in San Francisco since Tuesday,
but owing to discussions among the local
representatives of the government OF San
S tlvador the documents cannot be served
The gun boat Bennington continues III the
meantime to cruise of the heads, beyond
the three mile limit, while the lawyers
who are here representing the san Saliva
dorean government are trying to patch up
the affairs of the local consulate. The
trouble here is due TO the fact that the
consulshiD is held by man who owes his
appointment to exPresident Ezeta and
who is still loyal TO the deposed president,
though the new government has recog-
Eized him as its official
TRUE TO THE DEPOsED PRESIDENT
Carlos Yringoyen is the local consul
Nearly three weeks ago he left San Fran
cisco suddenly and went to New York, and
1t is said now that his purpose was TO meet
exPresjdent E.Zeta when he should arrive
there. Soon afterward Nice-Consul Kelly
departed for Mexico, leaving the affairs OF
San Salvador to be looked after by Mari
ano who formerly represented san Saliva
dor here Roma, like Consul Iringoven
and Vice Consul Kelly is friendly TO Ezeta
and will do nothing TO jeopardize their
PAUSE.
As a result the warrants of arrest are
living in Consul Yrineoyen's Office and
there is no one TO officially place them III
the hands of the United States marshal.
Consul Yringoyen Is speeding back TO
e.. faE
him. but those in position 10 know, de-
clare that he can be depended upon TO do
nothing that would iDjure his friend,
Ezeta.
lis probable, however, that Yringoyen
will be deposed as consul. 1t is said that
bis successor is now enroute here by
steamer from San Salvador.
g. Gonzales, son of an influential com
pission merchant, is mentioned as prob
hble successor.
GOVERNMENT TAKES ACTION.
WASHINGTON, Aug. IG.-In the quietest
manner that official methods viii permit,
the navy department has amended the
naval regulations in such fashion as to en-
tirely reverse the policy of right of asylum
Rs laid down by Secretary Tracy in the
case Of General Barrundia, when Com
mander ReiUer OF the United States steam
ship Ranger, received his reprimBnd. the
Justify that officer in his refusal TO protect
Barrundia for II its construction OF the
proper duty OF Il naval commander is cor
n ct, and in conformity with the interna-
iional law then, he could not have offered
TO take the ground he did.
The department has attempted to make
this new restriction on the right of asylum.
The old regulation number 237 reads as
follows:
/. In reference to grating asylum in the
territorial waters of a foreign state the
ships of the United states shall not be made
O. refuge for criminals.
In the case of persons other than crimi-
mails they shall be afforded shelter where
ever it may be needed, to United States
eitizeus first of all and TO others, including
political refugees, as far as the claims Of
humanity may be required in the service
upon which the ships are engaged.
The new regulation is much more re-
stTictive, reading as follows:
The right of asylum for political or
other refugees has no foundation IN inter
nationa! law. In countries, however;
where the frequent Instructions occur,
the constant instability of government eX-
lists, local usage sanctions the granting of
asylum, but even in the waters of such
Countries. officers should re1Hse all appli-
cations for asylum, except when required
hy those in the case of humanity, or in ex-
ceptiOnal cases such as resugees pursued
by mob.

by telegraph by Captain HOwison. com
