same time had a cablegram that
General Ezeta, the vice president and
brother of the president, is on board
the cruiser Bennington, where ne was
GRANTED an asylum. He arrived on the
coast badly wounded, and Cou-
mander Thomas decided with the
approval of the department to
a V bin from the rebels, who would
have killed him in spite of his condi-
ton. 1t is moi thought that Gen. Ezeta

surgical treatment. Other generals
accompanying the vice-president were
also granted an asylum and as soon IS
the Bennington a safely leave La Lib
