Ezeta Says 1t Got Him
Into Trouble.

rested for Sending Obscene Mat
ter Through the Mails.

The enemies OF General Antonio Ezeta, the
erstwhile mighty man of war in Salvador, are
making life miserable for the warrior, and he
has resolved to seek remedy in the courts OF
the land. In fact, The general says that he Is
about TO cause the arrest of one of them, and il
what the general asserts is true the Otfense
charged. if proven. is likely to result in serious
difficulties for the offender.
Several weeks ago the general was the recipi-
ent of postal Garland 1t might be added
that all The communications objected to were
written on postal cards-and the contents OF
the same were OF a particularly offensiv and
obnoxious nature. A few days later another
card made its appearance which, 10 the use OF
oppTobrious epithets, was worse than the first,
and this had not been permitted TO leave the
generals mind before another card put in an
appea ance. the last was extreme in its off n
siyen SIS, and It's language was applied not only
TO EZeta himself but 10 members OF his family
and his old friend. Manuel Oasin.
General EZeta saws he knows who is re-
spOnsible for these anonymous cOmmunlea-
lions and thai he is prepared to prove H. The
last postal was signed "Blas" and ii the
others is written in Spantsh The absence of a
name from the postals does not deceive EZeta
and he offers a proof of this fact the asserted
exact similarity in the handwriting Oh the
pOstals and other documents which are in
EZeta's possession which were signed by the
suspected person,
To furthrr aid him In his proposed proceed
pho toy aphed, aud translation OF one of them
shows that they would not LOOK very well in
print. The language on the Dostals is so vile
that the reader Is aslonshed at the depravity
OF their author.
EZeta said yesterday that the offender would
be arrested and that the nee sSaTy papers were
in the hands of The authorities. There is very
severe penalty attached TO an Offense of the
kind mention ed, as il comes under the jurisdic-
tlon n the United States courts and asidr from
the preliminary work the prosecution will rest
with the Government if the case should be
pressed.
Manuel Casin, who is referred TO In scandal
Gus terms IN the postalS. was one OF EZeta's
best friends in Salvador. He was a very rich
liquor merchant, and is said 10 have advanced
many thousands OF dollars 10 the lost cause of
his friend. He will be remembe ed in San
Francisco through his connection with the case
OF Andres Amaya, at one time Collector of
Revenues III the city of San Salvador, when the
latter came TO this city about year ago. Am
ava, this friend claimed, was driven out of Sal
vadOr by Casin after an attempt maze by the
latter and his friends To kill the former When
Amaya came 10 san Francisco he made public
the tale of his prosecutions, and short time
after, when Casin also appeared IN this city.
the papers were Tor a time full OF The difficulty
between the two.
General EZeta says that he expects letters by
TO- days steamer from The south upon the mat
ter on which will depend his future action T. :
gaTding his return 10 bis native land to do
battle with The present ruler.
