TORE DELAYS AT EVERY TURN.
Strange Dearth of consuls and Ignor-
ance OF OfficiaIs-The Benning-
..~*... ton Still Outside.

The warrant for the arrest of Antonio
: Ezeta arrived here yesterday from Wash
ingtoD, according 10 1.-THE dispatches, but nc
one has seen or heard anything of it. Il
is like the Bennington-outside the jurs-
diction of the reporters.
Whether the papers got here yesterday
or not is of no special import. as there have
as yet been 30 signs of the Bennington
passing through the gate. There have
been no tugs sentoff to. her, and Consul
Yrigoyen is not here TO serve the extradi-
ton. - J.. ~. =:
Not only is Consul Yrgoyen not at hand
TO attend to business but Mr.. Roma has
been suddenly stricken with an illness.
The Bennington is being held outside at
an expense TO this Government of about
$1,000 daily, while the consuls are dilly-
dallyipg with the case, as it seems to all
appearances.
The Colima passed in. yesterday and
spoke the >warsbip south of the Farallones
so she has not started back to Salvador at
any rate. -.
The Gol1ma was at La Libertad just be-
fore the Bennington sailed, and a umber
Of stories were brought up concerning the
complaints made about Carlos and An
tonic by the residents Of San Salvador.
Matters had: got into such bad shape
toward the latter part OF the reign OF Die
tat0r Carlos that the treasury Of The coun-
try was Virtually plundered of its entire
: supply of coin.
=. The army had not received its pay for
several months. and no common soldier
dare complain for fear Of being executed
Immediately: -.
Several stories were current regarding
the footing of the Government funds. and
this one IS alleged TO be- one of the state
ments made In the complaint that is now
supposed TO be- in this city.
On the day that the last sum of money
was removed from the treasury .yaults
Antonio was present and supsri1tended the
work. a carriage was driven TO the place
and all the available bonds and gold
placed in il. The-vehicle was then driven
10 La libert2d under escort. Shortly fter
this occurred Antonio left for Santa Ana
and Carlos chartered the German steamer
and sailed for Panama.
Antonio deliberately looted several towns
that had all along been friendly to his
cause. He put to death several merchants
who had offended him, and on one occa-
sion set hre. to: the coffee inca of man
who had declinedto be forced into giving
UP his gold ~. 49,.
This is the. story of the complaint in
brief as The people of La Libertad under
stand IT,.
MessFs. Pierson & Mitchell were seen
yesterday, but they had no new informa-
:tion to impaft. The warrant had not
come, they said, and there was no way
of proving thatit had arrived at the con-
sulate in the forenoon. if arrive it is ever
going %, that place was closed tighter
than co11iH lid al 3:45 p NJ, and looked
" just about as gloomy:
= t.had been given, out that Mr.. Yrigoyen
was not In town, and that he would not be
until to-day.
- Captain Thomas, it Is said, will be in.
pert to-day, Tor it is now rumored that his
Instructions were to stay outside until Sat-
.urday night or Sunday morning, then to
report at the quarantine station. A tug is
all ready to go out to the Bennington in
case any contrary orders are received.
Ihe latest Developments in the case show
that the Government has been doing some
down in San Salvador to find
out how much dependence can be placed
IN the charges brought against the refugee.
Ihere is just slight possibility that EZeta
VIII be sent back just as soon as he is
landed. 1t is the penuing result of this in
Vestlgation and not the warrantthat ia
causing the delay. II the Government had
any warrant 1t was anxious TO serve it
would quickly find means to serve it.
United States District Attorney Garter
and. Marshal Barry Baldwin say that thew
have received no instructions FROM Wash.
.1ngton and all that they know about the
case is what they have read in the papers.
