The morning call., 1894-11-19

there will he any trouble between Guate-
mala and Mexico. Everything is going
smoothly with him. His interest in politics
al present is at standstill. He sends his
respects to all his friends. and will be glad
to meet them at the California Hotel, San
Francisco, upon his arrival.
The return OF General Antonio Ezeta to
this city at this time, even with the reason
given in the telegram, that he wishes to
meet his family, is interesting if not sig
nificant. In the first place there is not a
reason In the world why he should bring
his family to San Francisco, as he has
avowed time ana time again that he in
tended establishing it in Mexico. He has
no interest here and but very small &C.
quaintance.
The steamer upon which his children
and DR.. Galindo are supposed TO be
touches at Acapulco, Mexico, at which
point General Ezeta could have met them
much sooner and with less travel than he
has to undergo on this present trip. The
journey from Acapulco to Cnietla. where
come ction is made with the Mexican In
teroceanic railway, is but short one,
while that from San Francisco to the City
of Mexico is very long. With all these
things known the question naturally arises
what can be Ezeta's motive in coming to
San Francisco?
1t may be. as was suggested In tele-
graphic bulletin announcing his departure
from the City of Mexico. that he intends
to perfect plans in this city. where they
cannot be discovered by spies of the
Government of Salvador as easily as they
could in Mexico, which may mean more
stirring times in the near future for the
Central American republics. Coming,
too, as he will right in the teeth of the
elections In his once own country OF Sal
vador. the visit takes on very significant
aspect indeed. On his former prolonged
visit here, General Ezsta made the state
ment that he expected there would be
trouble in Salvador in November. He
pointed out then the conflicting ambitions
of Manuel Rivas, Gutierrez and Castel-
lanos must surely end in bloodshed and
revolution. during the height of which it
might not be improbable that the poor,
nsurrection-rdden Sslvadorans might
rise up and demand the return of one of
her former rulers.
General Ezeta has heard something from
Salvador, which, 1t is safe to say, has
leaked out in no other quarter; aud on his
meeting with DR.. Gaindo will certainly
hear more Which brings to mind the fact
that Dr. Galindo, while only Decor aud
not lawyer, can probably diagnose the
case of Salvador better than any other
single man. For years he has been recog-
nized as the chief of the legal fraternity in
his own country and has always been a
stanch friend of The Ezetas. On this lat
ter account, Immediately upon the success
of the last revolution and the flight of An
tonic. he was jailed by order of Gutierrez.
and the news of his embarkation on the
steamer is the first intimation that he has
been released. During his confinement he
was treated brutally, being manacled like
felon and given only the poorest kind OF
food. just before General Ezsta's depar-
ture from San Francisco he recelved tele-
gram from Salvador 20 the effect that, had
il not been for the warm place Galindo
had found in the hearts of the people OF
Salvador, the Gutierrez Government
would have had hin shot.
Nothing can be known Of Ezeta's plans
| until his arrival in this city and probably
very little then, but there is not doubt
] that the news will cause gossip in the Sal
