CAUTION IN LEAVING San FRANCISCO
Cienfuegos Declares That He Viii
Not Return.
SAYS HE WILL DIE FIRST

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, September o.
Gen. Antonio Ezeta, the Salvadorean refu-
gee who was released on Saturday from
custody, and his attorneys Messrs. Rubens
and De Quesada, have left surreptitiously
for Mexico. They had bought their tickets
secretly the night before.
So careful were they in their efforts TO
deceive the public that, even after they
had bought their railway transportation.
they gave out to the press that they would
not leave here for several days. Gen. Ezeta
was to stay in San Francisco for a week,
and the attorneys said they would not de-
part till next Wednesday, when they would
leave direct for New York. The general,
his servant and the two New York attor-
neys quietly left the hotel in a carriage an
hour before the regular time of departure
of the train. They crossed to the Oakland
pier ahead of the regular passengers and
sought the privacy of their sleepers.
Those who some days ago obtained an
inklins of the subject of the kilograms fly
ing between here and Mexico say they gath
cred that the consolidation of all Central
America with Mexico WAS being considered;
Furthermore, that EZctas intention was to
re- Use an army there and proceed at once TO
Gust his enemies. Whether it was to regain
possession of Salvador only, or to effect a
dreamed, is not known, but there Is little
doubt that it is one or the other He has
not FASTENED away for nothing.
Gen. ColicO left The re on the 10th instant
and went straight to Mexico City. He at
once apparently laid the whole matter before
certain influential people there and they
formulated tn ,se plans, being all the time
in close correspondents by telegraph with
eX-President EZeta. The kilograms from
Mexico, since then, have been coming thick
and fast and there is probably some foun-
dation for current runners.
Lieut.. Col. Juan Cienfuegos, whose eXtradi-
ton to San Salvador on charge of at
tempted murder has been ordered by Judge
Morrow, spent lonely Sunday in his cell
at the Alameda county Jail. He said that
he was confident of regaiTing freedom as
soon as his case Is brought before the Pres
ident, and declares that he would commit
suicide rather thar be eXtradited.
Il expect to be free in four or five days

word OF English makes it very difficult for
me to be understood and very hard to be

When asked what he would do if he had

Gen. f.Zeta started from San Francisco he
