and Lieut.. Col. Cienfugos. aboard the BEN
nfhgton, have arrived here They expec,
the Bennington TO arrive tomorrow The
attorneys give their version OF the case
with what they expect 10 do as follows;
The vice president and his three officers
tcck refuge on the L. S. S. Bennington or
La Libertad, they say.
They asked afterwari to be Transferred
10 one OF the steamers Of the Pacific Mail
Company, but the provisional government
at the head Of which We're their enemies
made an official demand on the United
States for them, charging them with COM
mon crimes. They did Chis because no
other charge could be trumped up for the
Ezetas and their followers mad been de-
feated while trying TO uphold the then ex-
listing government and suppress a rebel
lion.
The government had then not vet
been recognized by the United States gov
eminent lawful government and there
fore could not entertain the demand. The
warrant WAS legally issued.
We viii claim the ex-yice president and
the officers are detained unlswfully against
their will. This will bring out the theory OF
the detention. aud tt viii develop one OF
the two things-either the United States In
holding them absolutely without warrant.
or else Il has recognized the government
and issued the warrant.
The latter course has not been taken So
far as We have heard. We were to be noti-
fled promptly by the Washington authori-
ties In case anything was done.
'On the arrival of the ship here with the
refugees aboard, We Will make q formal de-
mand for them. and the hearing. We pre-
sumo, will take place In the United States
circuit court. We hold that there is no
other side TO be considered, under all the
circumstances and. therefore. question the
right of the Salvadorean government which
is not yet recognized. TO make q plea here
that is to say. to be represented by an at
torney."
The attorneys for Antonio Ezeta and the
officers say that even should this position
with its ramifcations. be unlawful, which
they do not admit. they have Vet other
grounds on which TO be heard before tho
refugees could be sent back. To send them
back. they say, would simply result in their
death.

DISTRICT IN CONGRESS.


There was no meeting of the District
committee of the Senate today owing to
the absence Of quorum. 1t is prob
able that there will be no further meetings
of this committee this session, as the Senate
managers of local business feel that they
have obtained action upon about all of the
local measures that can be passed this SEES
sion. In fact, there are few bills now on
the calendar either Of the Senate or of the
committee that require immediate passage.
All the street railway legislation has been
put through that there is any demand for
building, that for free public library and
that providing for an issue of bonds for
street and sewer improvements there is
nothing now pending which seems to merit
or need action at this time.
At all events the Senate committeeman
realize that 1t Is next to impossible to get
the bills through the Senate in the present

CONVICTION, Va, August 10.-When
court convened this morning at 10 o'clock
the same curious crowd was present to
witness the trial of Capt. Thos. A. Good
man for the murder OF Col. II. c. Par
sons on June - last.
Judge Moore admitted the testimony of
j. A. Staples. the section master at Spring
wood station on the r. and A. railroad,
over which there was a fight between OPP
posing counsel yesterday afternoon. The
prosecution sought in the Introduction of
this witness to prove the charges of i'm
morality on the part OF Goodman preferred
by Parsons in his letter TO the c. and O.
Staples testified that his wife informed
him that Goodman had made a proposition
to her TO run away with him.
II developed on cross-exemination that the
Phelps woman referred to by Goodman in
his reply TO Parsons charges. as an Obiec-
uonable character, and whom he on one
occasion, put off his train for not having
a ticket is a niece of Staples, the witness.
Mr.. Parrish for the defense. tried to show
that the elder Phelps woman and her
daughter Katie were at the bottom of the
trouble between witness wife and Good
man, and they were the real mischief max
erS.
The defense claims that it was the de-
sire of the Phelps woman to cause a sepa-
ration between Staples and his wife and
for this reason stirred up this strife be-
tween them.
When Staples concluded his testimony at
l2:3o. a recess was taken until pm
Mrs. Staples and Mrs. Phelps will prob
ably be placed upon the stand today Dur
Ing Staples testimony the defense put in
evidence two letters from Goodman to
Staples. in which he Indignantly denied the
charges and suggested that the Phelps wo-
men We're responsible for the troubles.

In presenting his resolution calling Cor a
report from the Senate conferees on the

been in con temptation in one form or an
other for almost a week. 1t has been held
back in reference to the wishes of the con
ferees themselves, who have been lndisposed
to have such a question precipitated as long
as there was any hope of reaching an agree
ment.
1t cannot be definitely ascertained wheth-
er they gave their assent to the proceeding

best information obtalnable is that while

luton, the statement of Senator Harris as

large sprinkling OF democratic Senators
who have grown impatient at the delay in
