EZETA TELLS His SToRY.-Gen. An
tonic Ezeta and his refugee companions
from San Salvador declare that the
charges of murder and robbery prefer
red against them are easily explain
able.
Ezeta says that between the Goth of
April and May 3 three battles were
fought near Santa Anna, in which his
forces were defeated. Ezeta was wound
ed in the head on May 3, and was con-
cealed in house. Two weeks later,
with 5000 of his followers, he made his
way to the seacoast.
There he found the Bennington and
asked for refuge until the steamer San
Boules on her way north arrived four
days later. When the San Boules ar
rived the refugees were not allowed to
board her, but were kept against their
will On the Bennington.
Ezeta explains the charge of murder
against him by saying that he did not
kill The man, but that thet amster who
tried to intercept him was shot by one
of his men, an American. Lieutenant
Coffin corroborated the story as regards
the bank robbery. Ezeta says he took
the money from the bank and gave his
receipt for it as president of the repub-
lie, and used it in the pay of his soldiers.
This he claims he had a right to do
under the law of the country. General
Bustamento, who is accused of hanging
four men, states he hung them, but
said the men were deserters from the
army. In fact, all the offenses charged
against the refugees are explained by
them as committed while attempting to
fulfil the laws of the country.

that PUZZLE.

The NEWS puzzle Is creating no end OF
fun judging By the answers received to il.
A good many OF THE NEws readers try
making 80 squaree on = much
larger space than II covered by the
81 squares. This isn't right. The thing
to do h TO cut up the square Of g. spaces
and lay the spaces snug up together 30
that 66 squares will be made. In word,
you can do this by making three cuts with
the scissors, and the pieces, IL properly
cut and laid together will form . rec-
tsngle of 60 squares instead Of square Of
"a squares.
OF course, this seeming paradox 10
really not accomplished. It IL impossible
to cover IS square inches With the same
pieces laid up together that originally
occupied but 81. But 1t looks all right,
and The NEWS offers Q special prize 10
the first one who explains why it looks
right.
Manager Byram Of Keith's Opera House
turned up yesterday afternoon with q
cinch on The NEWS puzzle. 1t appears
that the play ain Old Kentucky"
printed the same puzzle In its advertising
matter and offered reserved seats to the
show to all who worked 10 out correctly.
Very few people secured their seats that
way, however, which goes to prove that
1t 10 . pretty good puzzle.

what different form is a question, but
1t would seem as though definite set
tlement of the matter was nearer at
hand than has been suspected and there
10 a general feeling that important de-
velopments are in the air.
The Democrats are preparing new
tariff bill, a sort of crazy-quilt, to cover
all the interests in their party, which
they hope to pass, and while this was
strenuously denied yesterday it was adj
mitted last night that Senator AIdrich
had called the turn on the situation.
The action of Senator Aldrich yester-
day, whether it was bluff pure and
simple or part of Republican plan,
had the effect that lightning has on a
muggy day, of clearing the atmosphere
and revealing the situation as 1t exactly
is. 1t showed that the Democrats dare
not vote on the measure as it stands
an }, that they are not yet prepared
with a substitute. 1t shows that
the Republicans do not fear any
disaffection on the part of their men or
the Populists, and it also shows by the
announcement of Senator Teller that
tariff discussion will be prolonged unless
gag rule is adopted. 1t was confes-
sion by the Democratic Senate that the
Wilson bill cannot pass.

The strength of the Harrison move
ment is indicated by the vindictiveness
of his enemies. The ex-President stands
stronger today than he ever did in the
minds of the people, and not day goes
by but indications of this crops out.
Sometimes in the form of an election
and sometimes in more homely but no
less convincing way.
There have been illustrations of this
latter point in Providence theater
during the present week. In one part
OF the entertainment stereopticon
throws pictures Of Americas public
men upon screen. Abraham
Lincoln's well-known face is greeted
with applause. Grants receives a
hearty greeting, but when the rotund
face OF President Cleveland is thrown
upon the screen storm Of Kisses greets
the effort of the artist to please the
audience. This picture is followed by
one Of General Harrison, and tremend-
Gus applause and cheer after cheer are
given.
And this has been of nightly occur
renee throughout the week. The theater
is one which caters to the people and
one would naturally expect To-
find Democratic audience there.
The majority Of the people
who attend unques,ionably belong to
the Democracy and yet there has not
been single expression of approval but
rather one Of universal condemnation
whenever Cleveland's picture has been
shown, while that of the little man from
Indiana has been greeted with vocifer-
ous applause.
The people understand the situation.

DEMOCRATS LACKED NERVE.

The Democrats in the Senate got one
of the severest shakings up yesterday
they have had for many long day and
the Administration leaders haven't quit
trembling yet. Senator Lindsay was
proceeding with his tariff speech in a
dull, prosy way, taunting the Republ-
cans with not daring to vote ON the
measure, when Senator Aldrich saun-
tered down the aisle and inquired if the
Senator on behalf of his party would be
willing to vote on the tariff bill in the
form in which it came from the House
at o'clock that afternoon.
1t was the biggest surprise OF the
present tariff fight and there is little
wonder that members on both sides
were stricken with amazement.
The Democrats have been talking
about Republican filibustering and
delay using this bugaboo to conceal
from the country the real fact that it is
to the dissensions in the Democratic
party and not to Republican tactics for
delay that the bill has not progressed
farther. but after yesterdays proceed
ings this line of argument will have to
be dropped.
A halt was called in the proceedings,
aud after prolonged Democratic eau
caus, Mr.. Harris, as the Administration.
proceeded to accept the challenge, pro.
vided the terms were so changed as TO
have the vote taken on the bill as 1t has
been amended by the Senate finance
committee.
This OF course was an avoidance of Mr..
Aldrich's proposition and the sensation
of the year simmered down into an oc-
currence of little import in itself, but as a
demonstration of Democratic weakness
IL was Of the utmost significance.
IL was an open confession that
the bill that met the ap-
proval Of the House, did not have the
approval Of the Senate and could not
pass that body. 1t demonstrated that
tho bill as reported by the finance
committee is fixed precisely the same
way as the House bill.
On neither Of these bills did the Demo.
cracy dare to rest its case and appeal to
its own members. With clear majority
in the Senate it dared not accept the
challenge that Rhode Islands Senator
made to IL, and as usual had n make
shift to suggest instead of dealing
directly with the proposition before IL.

Aldrich will again be offered in q some

Greece is again rent with the throes
of seismic disturbance, and her cities
of Thebes and Atalanti together with
many small villages, both on the main
land and on the islands Of Syra and
Zante lie in ruins. In Thebes not q
house is standing and reports
from other places indicate a
similar condition of affairs. In
thirteen seconds all this havoc was made
and prosperous cities were leveled with
the ground. There isn't any wonder
that the inhabitants were panic stricken
for they we're suffering from an attack
of an unseen enemy against whom there
was no defense. Invisible. awful
and destructive, destroying cities
in few seconds, death and
ruin overtaking people at q
moment when least expected, the earth
rising and falling with fearful move
ment, these convulsions of nature. in
explicable and inexorable, contain every
element of dread and none of hope.
Other lands may be fairer and more
fertile, the skies NAV be brighter and
SUMMER, the breezes may kiss the face
more softly and Nature may assume a
more tempting garb elsewhere, but staid
old New England with her
immovable walls of granite and
her rock bound coast has points Of
vantage far ahead of anything that the
world offers elsewhere. The deadly
fevers of the tropics dare not cross her
boundaries, epidemics stand back from
her borders, the earth shakes not, nor
does the wind disturb her people.
The sympathies of the world go out to
Greece and New England if called upon
will do her share toward responding to
the cry of distress that will inevitably
60 up from stricken Greece to which
the world owes so much.

AN ANTI.MOUTH CRUSADE.

A Western reformer has evolved an
interesting and perfectly plausible
theory. He starts out with the as
sumption, which tine most sceptical may
easily agree to, to wit: that it is human
nature to work your mouth too much.
From this he proceeds to study of the
cure of smoking, chewing, drinking,
swearing, whistling, gossiping, and then
traces these evils back to the over
whelming, if unconscious, desire on the
part of most folks to work their mouths
too much.
AS he clearly points out it is useless
to treat the tobacco habit or the rum
habit or the whistling habit or the gos-
siping habit so long as the subject is a
victim of the too widely prevalent craze
to work his mouth. General Grant is
quoted as familiar illustration. The
General was famous as silent man, but,
alas, he was an inveterate user of to-
bacco. If he had not kept a cigar in
his mouth all the time he would most
likely have talked all the time. He
didn't want to talk and SO he smoked.
Just trace this subject from earliest
childhood, gentle reader, and give it a
serious contemplation. The baby crys
and frets through the initial desire to
work its little mouth. Childhood is one
long period of chatter. Boyhood is de-
voted to whistling and hollering. Then
comes tobacco and then rum.
With women this inherent tendency
is worked off in gossiping and human
nature is powerless to throw off these
evil habits because it is irresistibly dis
posed to work it's mouth. Even the
angels are credited with singing all the
time, thus demonstrating the univers-
ality of the original habit which is thus
expressed in SO various ways.
To .iscover the cause of an effect is a
long step toward the discovery of
remedy if remedy is needed. The to-
bacco habit and the rum habit once
recognized as only substitute for, or a
development of, the talking habit,
their cure is immensely simplfied.
We get right down to first
principle, and are in position at
once to combat that principle. Occa-
of conrse, as in the case Of
some political orators it would lie
beneficial to the rest of the community
to encourage them to work their
mouths off on tobacco because there
would be no reasonable chance
of curing the apparently lesser,
but really greater, evil of their
talking. But these are exceptions.
Let the rest of the world practice
keeping their mouths out of action and
much benefit will quickly result to the
greater measure of health and happiness
for us all. Scandal and tobacco will in
time be forgotten indulgences, passed
quite away with the fundamental habit
Of working the mouth.
