ing the Liberty of Ezeta and His
Fellow Refugees-Charges Made
Against Them.

gular international complications involv
ing the liberty of General Antonio Ezeta

veloped a new tangle of conflicting au-
tLority today.

served.

with the authority of the federal courts,
set out to have the refugees brought with
lin the jurisdiction of the law, but he ran
up against Captain Howison, the naval

that he had no authority TO furnish trans
portation to the United States marshal.

board the Bennington. Without the as
marshal could not reach the gunboat In
the first place the law allows the marshal
but 81 for serving each warrant, and

Captain Thomas, Of the Bennington, has
strict orders to receive no one on board
Mare Island. Under these conditions the
United States marshal must have the as
sistance OF the naval authorities if he

is in pursuit.
