SAN Francisco, Aug. 24.-General An
tonic Ezeta and his fellow refugees are
Prisoners at last by authority Of the
United States district court. The war
rants of arrest were served yesterday af-
tsrnoon. Early in the morning the local
officers received notification that the diff
ference between the navy department and
the department Of justice had been com
promised at least in a measure, and that
tue naval authorities of Mare Island
would permit the United States marshal
20 serve the warrants. The navy depart
meut maintained its position on one
poiut, however-it would not furnish
transportation for the marshal and his
deputies to the gunboat.
Marshal Baldwin, 100, was determined
to uphold the department of government
which he represents He refused to char

that the refugees would be left to die Of
old age on the high seas. DR.. Calderon,
the recently appointed local consul Of the
ceded, and prevented any serious rupture
between these clashing departments of
the United States government. He went
into his own purse for the money and
chartered a tug. On board the tugboat
were Consul Calderou, Marshal Brown,
four deputy United States marshals and
Lieutenant Stoney, United States navy,
who went as representative of the author
ity of the Mare island naval station to
certify to Marshal Baldwin as a represen-
tative of the United States government,
and to permit Commander Thomas, of
the Bennington, to receive the marshal
and his deputies on board.
The tug, which was named the Relief,
arrived alongside the Bennington about
9 o'clock in the morning. After the for
malities necessary to fully sustain the
dignity of the navy department were over,
Marshal Baldwin and his deputies went
on board the gunboat, and the Relief
steamed away for this port. Immediately
afterwards the Bennington's anchors were
hoisted and few minutes later the gun
boat was steaming towards San Francisco
bay, but as one of the engines is disabled
she made only slow progress At 2 O'Clock
in the afternoon she steamed in through
the Golden Gate.
The Bennington steamed directly to
Mare Island. The prisoners were landed
in San Francisco, and are now confined in

the warrants for their arrest. Then will

There is a probability that habeas corpus
