Chicago, July 1.-The Illinois Cen
trail made a step forward this after
noon, but it was with the aid Of sew
eral details of police. The New Or

only one Wabash train has passed De-
catur. A mail car was sent east this
morning. All other trains, both freight
and passenger, have been stopped here by

s out for Chicago tonight as one train.
One arrived at midnight last night, and
the other at today. Master Mechanic
Jeffrey and Sheriff Perl made the two
trains up. There was a deputy sheriff
on each platform of the twelve cars.
When all was ready, Whitsell, an old
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy engineer,
took his place in the cab and with Chief
Detective Ballard in the freman's place,
the train pulled out amid the jeers and
curses of the strikers. The real fireman
was concealed in a coach.
An effort will now be made to get a
train out to ST. Louis. Decatur appears
to be the seat of the most serious trouble
on the Wabash, as trains are running
regularly between Danville and Toledo,
and others came from st. LOUIS and Kan
sas City.
Sheriff Perl telegraphed Governor Att
geld tonight that he had been able to
maintain order today, but feared the sit
uation would be worse tomorrow and he

FUGITIVE EX.PRESIDENT.
His Story of the Revolution IL
Salvador,

Salvador.
New York, July General Carlos
Ezeta, the fugitive president of Salvador.
arrived here tonight on the steamship
Newport from Colon. accompanied by his
wife and four children. The general ex-
pressed himself freely on the revolution
in Salvador and the occurrences which
led TO it,
melted by a desire for revenge. Many
natives of Salvador, refugees, emigrated
to Guatemala after the troubles of 1890,
and became subServient TO the govern
ment Influences. Chief among them was
General Guiterriers, who commanded a
body of Salvador troops in that year.
He was afterwards captured by my
brother Antonito Ezeta, who wounded
him badly at the time. Instead of being
executed he was allowed to escape, and
! he, with Guatemalan help, started .he
revolution. About 5000 men were wound
/ ed and 1000 were killed during the war.
At the battle of Santa Ana we lost 300
men, After this the revoluuonists gained
steadily in Salvador. When We found
others, boarded the steamship Valeria.
Then, when We saw our cause was
lost, we went TO the city of Panama.
THE reVolutionistS would not have won
had they not been assisted by the Qua te-
malans and some Hondurans My brother
! Antonio did not seek an asylum on the
| Bennington. He was picked up by the
| cruiser while escaping IN a boat. The
American officers thought he was lost.
"The charges trumped up against him

truth is. l spent nearly all the available
money during my three and u half terms

wiz Protect Z. s. Mails Against the
Strikers

Washington, July dispatches were
received by Acknowledgement Olney
this evening from Judge Hallett, of the
United States court of Colorado, and
United States Marshal Israel, stating
that the railroad strikers were refusing
to allow trains to run from Trinidad,
Colo, on the Atcaison, Topeka & Santa
Fe. and the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe
railroads and asking that United States
troops be sent from the command OF
General McC0ok at Fort Logan.
Mr. Olney Immediately conveyed the
dispatch to the White House and Secre-
tary Of War Lamont, General Schofield
and the encouragement and the presi-
dent had a conference.
After the conference, General Scho-
field telegraphed to General McCook,
ordering him to proceed at once to
Trinidad with the troops.
Both the railroads mentioned in the
dispatch are at present in custody of
the United States courts, and this is
the ground on which the action of the
authorities is basel.

who it was subsequently learned was

Chicago, July I'm Chicago and VI
cinity today was spent by the two con-
tending forces in the great railway
strike in playing waiting game. each
side narrowly watching for the next
move of the other. Railway officials
profess to be sanguine of the ultimate
defeat of the strikers. and the latter
equally certain of final success.
At a number of vantage points
throughout the city, efforts were made
to move freight trains, which were
promptly frustrated by strikers and
their sympathizers, who bounced upon
these trains, carrying off the links
and pins. set brakes and chased away
the men thus engaged, retiring when
ever superior force Of police appear
ed on the scene.
Barring a few minor scrimmages, in
which no damage was done, the day
was fairly quiet
Passenger traffic on most of the
roads was not seriously interfered
with, where Pullman cars are not
handled except at Blue Island, where
the Rock Island trains are still held
up both sides remaining stubborn and
the long-suffering passengers bearing
the brunt Of the discomfort and de-
lay.
One hundred deputy marshals will
go to Blue Island early in the morn
ing.
Altogether, no decided advantage can
be claimed for either side, but owing to
reports that the sheriff had called on
the governor for troops, tomorrow's
developments are awaited with keen
interest, if not with anxiety. The
troops at Fort Sherman are being held
! in readiness to respond any moment
| to a call for their services to protect
property from the strikers.
1t was learned, this evening, that
George NJ. Pullman had quietly left
the city since last night, presumably
/ for the east, although it is impossible
to obtain definite information as to his
/ destination.
/ Firemen and engineers on the Illi-
I nois Central road went on a strike
/ this afternoon. This was followed by
/ the announcement that the switchmen
/ and firemen on the Wabash, a. Wagner
! line, had struck.
| Tomorrow, both sides expect develop
ments of a serious character. The
! general managers are preparing to
meet violence with force, and the
strikers are anticipating legal compli-
/ cations which may compel new line
of action.

Some Have No Grievance at Cincin-
natl.

Cincinnati, July 1.-The engineers and
firemen of the Big Four and Cincinnati,
Hamilton & Dayton, met this afternoon
and agreed they had no grievances, and
would remain at work. Three engineers
of the Cincinnati Southern, at Ludlow.

A new engineer and fireman took cut
the o'clock southern train tonight. 1t
consisted of mail, express, baggage car,
two coaches and three Pullmans. On the
engine and on each car were deputy mar
shals armed with Winchesters.
There is trustworthy information OF
friction between Debs and Phelan Debs
blames Phelan for ordering out. the
switchmen of the Big Four, which, he
says was unjustifiable and unauthorized.
Tonight Pheian went to Secretary
Schaff, who represents the Big -Four IN
the absence of President Ingalls, and Of
fered to order the swtchnen to return
to work provided Schaff would recognize
Phelan as representing the American
Railway union, and would give his word
that the men would be received without
prejudice Secretary Schaf refused the
first condition.
A meeting of the strikers and their
sympathizers numbering 1900, was ad-
dressed tonight by General Kelly, of the
commonwealers and by F. w. Phelan, OF
the American Railway union. New men to
take the places OF the strikers tomorrow
are coming in.

Passes Resolutions of Sympathy.
Kansas City, No, July 1.-The an
ticipation that all the A. r. Z. en-
ployees in the twenty-seven yards of
this city would strike at noon today,
was not realized and everything IS
quiet in this city
The Rock Island and Chicago & Al
ton sent out no passenger trains from
Kansas City today, not because they
could not be manned, but for the rea-
son that the companies expected the
stalling of the trains at some point
out of town.
All trains on the other lines arrived
and departed as usual.
The Santa Fe people announce that
they will resume freight traffic to-
morrow morning, which will, in a
measure, test the strikers position to
the utmost. If the road succeeds in
moving its freight trains, it will go a
long way toward defeating the end
sought by the strikers. The latter feel
confident, however, of their ability to
maintain an unbroken front and hold
that the Santa Fe cannot get the as
sistance necessary to carry out their
purpose.
Typographical Union No. so met this
afternoon and adopted resolutions
sympathiZing with the A. R. U. and
lending to the strikers moral encour-
agement
A secret meeting of leaders of sew
eral organizations was held this after
noon, but it is impossible to secure
an inkling of what transpired. It is
believed, however, that steps were con-
sidered looking to a spreading of the
movement among the engine RS and
conductors.
At s p. m. the meeting was still in
session and the leaders positively de-
cline to give out any information.
The grand chief of the Telegra phi
ers' brotherhood has notified the mem
bers of that organization on the Santa
| Fe not to strike
