HAD PLANNED TO ESCAPE.
Ezeta is Now Closely Cooped Up as
Il Consequence.

consequence.
San Francisco. Aug. 31.-United
States Marshal Barry Baldwin has
made up his mind that General Anto-
Mo Ezeta has planned to escape. He
has doubled the guards around him,
has him in a cooped room in his hotel
where he is denied to visitors. The doors
are locked. the windows barred. No
condemned felon was ever more closely
guarded.
When General Ezeta was first placed
in the custody of the marshal, it was
understood on all sides that he was
to be courteously treated as became
one of his prominent station, and that
while careful surveillance was to be
kept and no chance left for escape, all
efforts should be directed to making
the prisoner as comfortable as posi-
bic. With this understanding, the
general and his companions were al
lowed to take rooms at the California
hotel. at their own expense, being
guarded constantly. however, by two
deputies. He was notified in q general
way that he would be allowed the lib
erty Of the corridor on the sixth floor
under the watchful eyes of a deputy
This was. of course. with the idea of
giving him a chance of exercise. On
his own part and for his companions
General Ezeta gave his parole of honor
as soldier and a gentleman that no
effort would be made to escape. This
arrangement went along without a
clash. Several times during the first
few days the general took short walks
on the streets and got some sort of a
glimpse of life in San Francisco.
Now the general has been notified
that he will be required to keep him
self closely to room $40, being allowed
to leave it only at meal times for room
81. where the dining table was set.
There is no more exercising in the cor
ridors. and no more strolls on the
streets. even in the care of deputies.
He explained that he thought this a
rather peculiar order, considering that
his word as a soldier had been placed
that no attempt would be made to
escape. His attorney eXpostulated in
the same vein. but to no avail, and to
room $40 the general has since been
confined An extra guard has been
placed inside with him, the door locked
on the outside and another deputy
placed there to see that no attempt is
made to sortie through that

PRICES PAID FOR FRANCHISES.
Some Startling Facts and Figures
Two Indictments Found.


New Orleans Aug. 31.-The grand
jury today presented it's final report on
the municipal scandal. 1t shows the
prices paid to the city of New Orleans
for the several franchises by the pur-
chasers at the sales were: City & Lake
railroad, 100000; Crescent City rail-
road, $15O,0OO; Judah Hart railroad.
$124,000
"Our examination of the books of the
New Orleans Traction company" con-
tinues the report, reveals the start
ling fact that sthe actual cost of these
franchises to that corporation was
50, $780, OO Franchises of the New Or
leans City & Lake railroad were sold to
Henry Bar for 100000.
1.-THE Traction company furnished him
the collaterals on which he secured the
purchase money. They paid him $780,
900 for the franchise, which he had
purchased with their money for $780,
900. and then paid him $4,000 in first
mortgage bonds as his commission
mo one knows where the extra $780,
600 went, but the belief is that it was
used in the city hall to secure the fran
chiSe in the usual way"
Two indictments for bribery accom-
panied the report. One was against
ex-Councilman Dan A. Meyer for pro-
posing to receive a. bride of 5000, 900,

Interfere With the Taking of the
Prisoners.
"a New Orleans, Aug. 31.-The steamship
Rover which arrived from Bluefields
today, brought the latest advices from
Nicaragua, forwarded by the Associated
Press correspondent.
The prisoners took their departure on
the Yulu without interference from
either the English or American author
dties, and there was a general feeling
of disgust among the foreign residents,
who did not then have knowledge OF
the reasons for inactivity. Even the
prisoners expected interference on the
high seas, and the Yulu steamed close
to the Columbia to afford opportunity
|of American authority, but the ship
was silent.
At Monkey Point lay the British
cruiser Mohawk, but she, too was 81
lent The Englishmen did not act for
lack of instructions. Captain Sumner
|of the Columbia, stated afterwards that
his reason for silence was MS knoWl-
edge of Nicaraguan character, feellng
THAT the lives of the prisoners would
have been sacrificed by any act of in
reference and feeling also, that no ma
val victory or the destruction of regi-
|ments would compensate for the loss
of American lives.
The Nicaraguans feared to leave with
the prisoners from Bluefields, owing to
the threatened interference, and de-
manded a guarantee from the COM
mander of the Yulu that he would not
signal to the warships. The captain
visited Captain Sumner, of the Column
lbia. about the matter He advised that
the Yulu sign no paper and make no
promises. This delayed matters, but
la fter three days General Reys, in COM
Inland of the soldiery, decided to take
chances and set sail. He was prepared
to blow up the ship as soon as any at
tempt at rescue was made.
The voyage was quiet, and the pris-
toner's were landed at Greytown. where
they were placed in a hotel and given
considerable liberty until the boat for
Manage arrived. As soon as the voy-
age was at an end both the American
and English authorities took action.
| CAPTAIN Sumner. recognizing an out
rage had been committed, wrote a
strong letter to Madriz, warning him

mitted without expectation of punish
ment.
He said the Nicaraguan occupation
was due to American forbearance

GOod-Peter is Afraid of Being
Arrested.
New York, Aug. 31-Tom O'Rourke,
who is looking after Peter Jackson's
Interests in this city said today when he
saw the the Sioux City Athletic clubs
check:
VERY good. Those checks seem to be
all right I know the amount is per-
fectly satisfactory to Peter. The one
thing he is anxious about is the ability
of the club to arrange a fight without
police interference. What he want par
ticularly is a guarantee of immunity
from arrest. Peter would also like to
see and talk to a representative of the
Sioux City club. He wishes to know
exactly what is demanded in the arti-
cles it may forward. When L meet the
Sioux City clubs representative, will
telegraph Jackson to come to New
York.
Il don't see any reason, now, why
Corbett and Jackson should not fight.
Peter will meet Corbett in the Sioux
City club, provided, of course. it will
guarantee that no arrests follow. You
see he has not booked any dates for
his show yet this season, as he has
been waiting to arrange matters with
Corbett. Jim, on the other hand, seems
to have booked his company pretty
we'll, or at least Brady has for him.
Now, what will he do if he signs to
meet Jackson in four or five months?
He will pay big bonuses to be permit
ted to cancel. If he had been sincere
in his desire to meet Jackson, he would
have made his bookings with the pro-
viso left open in the event of his sign
ling with Peter. That's what I did
with Dixon before George met Solly
Smith.
Honestly and truly, though. 1 don't
| think Corbett really. cares to meet
Jackson.
Am I to be Peters manager? Not
that I know of. I am merely repre-
senting Charlie Davies, who tele-
graphed me to look after Peters inter-
ests in this city. That's all there is to
my managing Peter. If there is any
trouble, and they should break, I will
willingly take Jackson in charge"

NEBRASKA G. A. r.

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 31.-A special to
the Bee from Grand Island Neb., says:
The state Grand Army of the Repub-
lie reunion closed tonight The last
hours of the encampment were devoted
to the organization of a department of
prisoners of war. Campfires in the
evening were addressed by Governor
Crounse, Lieutenant-G Governor Majors,
John M Thurston and others.
A feature of the reunion has been the
addresses of persons not connected with
the G. A. r. and not supposed to be in
sympathy with the movement
The veterans compared notes as to
the reports that many old soldiers were
leaving the state as a result of the
drouth, and the general belief was that
the reports had been greatly exaggera-
ted, as, in fact, 200 more members were
enrolled this year than ever before

Uvalde. Tex. Aug. S1.-A terrible
catastrophe befel this thriving town
last night. and today there is mourn
ing in many households.
The treacherous Leona river, swollen
to a raging torrent by recent rains,
rushed. without moments warning,
down upon the town, submerging and
wrecking many houses and drowning
a number of people.
In this section such destruction by
the elements has never before been
chronicled.
Ia the excitement of the day it is
not definitely known how many have
been drowned. Among the bodies that
have been identified are:
Mrs. Joe Hatch. ,.
Miss Matte Edwards,
A child of Mr.. Maley,
Two MeXicanS.
When the Flood Came.
1t was about o'clock in the morn
ing when the flood came. The weather
had been threatening, and there were
ominous clouds to the north and east
of the town. The atmosphere had
predictions of storm were freely
made During the night the dark
clouds rose higher and higher
Just as the storm broke over the city
in all its fury, a torrent of water
rushed down the Leona Mver, over
flowing the banks and flooding the
low lands on either side to a depth of
several feet. The east side of the city
is built on low ground and was direct
ly in the path of this water. All of
the houses in that part of town were
submerged, and in the darkness and
throughout the downpour of rain that
was falling. could be heard the cries
of distress from the Inflated inhabi-
tants in their wild efforts to save their
Heroes, Every One.
There were a number of miraculous
escapes and the rescuers and rescued
performed many heroic acts. AS soon
las those in the higher part of the town
were made aware of the terrible flood
the work ofsrescue was begun and car
ried out as rapidly as possible in the
darkness. Great apprehension is felt
for the inhabitants living on the ditch
Fsouth of here. where seventy-fiVe or a
hundred families live.
One Mexican family living on the
ranch of L. Schwartz five miles below
town. are supposed to have been lost,
no vestige of the ranch being left.
News reached here this evening that
three families, living below town, were
drowned. whose names have not yet
been learned According to reports re-
ceived at the Southern Pacific Office this
evening the terrible flood was augmen-
ted by an earthquake. A shock of some
seconds duration was distinctly felt
during the night. At one place near
the CITY heavy cracks appeared on
either side of the river, having appar
emily no bottom.
Loss is Enormous.
The trackwalker of the Southern Pa
cific. after wading through water up
to his neck succeeded in intercepting
a west-bound train. The loss to the
Southern Pacific is enormous, forty
miles of it's track and many bridges
having been washed away. A thorough
but safe estimate as to the loss of pro-
perty, including that of the railroad,
will. as far as known. reach million
and a half dollars.
Over 100 carloads of material and
300 1aborers left San Antonio for the
Iscene of the wreck this evening.
Later-While reports are incom-
plete it is estimated that no less than
twenty or twenty-five people have been
drowned and the loss to property will
exceed 50 600 600

gage bonds, amounting to $154,70O, and

west.
