PROCLAMATION BY EZETA.
The Exiled SaIvadorian Endeavors to
Fire His C-ountrymen's Hearts.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 23.-Gen. An
tonic Ezeta, ex-Vice President and deposed
dictator of San Salvador, is still bent on
revolution, although he is somewhat handi-
capped in being obliged to direct his lieu
tenants in San Salvador at long range
Ezeta, safely housed in a big hotel here, is
well out of danger. His latest card is a
long proclamation issued ito all Salvador
ians." Tn fugitive general asserts that his
heart still beats with ardent love of pa
triotism and the sacred fire of liberty" He
says he knows his friends in San Salvador
are suffering on his account, and he as
sures them that they shall soon see him
again contending with the enemy on the
battlefield in defense of their country. The
doughty general refers to his release from
custody by the United States authorities
and pays his respects to his brother, Carlos
Ezeta, the fugitive President, as follows:
Il am before the world, after having been
tried in the courts of this country. l have
saved myself from certain death by a mira
Gle, after the shameful retreat of the head
of our nation and his Cabinet, leaving my
companions in arms, who were true to the
last. to be the victims of our cowardly and
infamous enemies. Adversely does not make
me lose courage" The proclamation is

TESTS AT INDIAN HEAD.
Successful Trial of ~ PrOjecti1e-The
Hurst Gun q DisappOintment.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Two tests
took place at the proving grounds at Indian
Head to-day-one of Misunderstanding
projectiles and one of the Hurst gun. The
first was eminently successful, but the
latter was a disappointment. The projectile
test was of a thirteen-inch shell, one of a
lot of 400 furnished by the Misunderstanding
Steel Company. BY the ter Is of the speci-
f~cations the selected shell was required to
pass through a seven-inch nickel steel
plate without being broken up. 1t was fired
with a striking velocity Of 500 feet per
second, and passed through the plate and
sank about ten feet into the butt behind
1T, whence it was dug out practically I'M
injured. This shot decided the acceptance
of the lot. These shells are of forged steel
and have a large chamber, which contains
q bursting charge of sixty pounds of pow
der when in actual service. In the tests,
the place of the powder is taken by sand,
so as to secure the proper weight
The second test of the day consisted of
experiments with the Hurst gun, for the
purpose of ascertaining the velocity obtain
able with it for given charges. The pro-
~jectiles used weighed 200 pounds and the
total powder charge about 1S5. An ordinary
a velocity of about $500 feet with this
charge. The Hurst gun has the powder
divided into parts, one of them in a pri-
projectile, and the other a main charge of
1E5 pounds for giving it its velocity. At
previous tests a velocity of 2,4W feet was
obtained, but it was suspected that part
of the projectile was broken off by the dis
charge, and that it was thus so much re-
duced in weight that these figures were
unduly high. At the test to-day, two shots
were fired, with resulting velocity of 2,08S
and 2,096 feet, the secondary powder charges
results are considered very Door. and as the
gun is more difficult to handle, and the am
munition more awkward to prepare and
load there will probably be no further tests

FOR NEGROES
SENATOR MoRGAN's VIEW or THE
EXODUS FROM THE SOUTH.
He Favors the Movement and Says
It-Rcports of ConsuIs.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator Nor
gan, of Alabama. thinks the present exodus
of negroes from the Sos,th to Africa will
increase rapidly in proportions, and he be-
lieves that the time will soon come when
the government of the United States will
take the matter up officially and aid in
their deportation. Africa" he said, in dis
cussing the question. lis the natural home
of the negro, and a majority of them de-
sire to return to that country They cannot
well be blamed for entertaining that wish,
for there is nothing in this or any other
white mans country for the African race.
Sufficient time has elapsed since the slaves
were emancirated to demonstrate the white
mans superiority in all walks of life, and
my observation is that most of the negroes
already realize that If they remain here
they will always occupy inferior positions
and continue as of old to be little more
than servants.
1t has been, / know, asserted that the
negroes of this country do not want to
emigrate, but the contrary is true. 1t is
probably a fact that some of those who
live IN the cities prefer to remain in this
country, and this | think is especially
true Of the mulattoes. but the large ma
1ority Of the country blacks want to get
away. and the only thing which holds them
mere Is their ignorance of the means of
departure and their inability TO pay their
passage l believe that IL the means for
their transportation could be furnished
gratis a million and a half of negroes could
be transported to Africa in the next twelve
moTfths.'
Senator Morgan also asserted that a large
majority of the white population in the
South would prefer to have the negroes 20.
1T is certain, he said, that many of
the planters, the owners of large planta-
tons. prefer to have them remain, for
the reason that they favor their labor
IN comparison with a certain class of whites.
but this element is in the minority, and
the poorer whites and the professional
classes in the South prefer to have the
negroes sent away. The poor man does
not want their competition, and al classes
object to negro equality in political at
fairs, as all feel that they stand directly
IN the way of securing a more desirable
class of residents by preventing immigra-
ton. Furthermore, il is not true, as seems
TO be supposed, that only negroes can do
the labor in the Southern States, an asser-
ton which is substantiated by the fact that
the cotton crop of this country has in
creased from a little over 5000, 600 bales
before the war to 5000. 900..s
The Senator. expressed the opinion that
CONGRESS. would take the problem of ex-
porting the negroes in hand at no dis.
fant day, and said he expected that with
in the next three or four years the gov
eminent would be found providing means

QUIGLEY

No Decision Was Made,

PHILADELPHIA, March 23.-Jerome
Quigley, of this city, and Young Critic
fought four rounds tonight, before the
Southwark Athletic Club, and while no de-
cision was given, Critic, it was conceded,
had all the best of the go" In the first
round Critic simply smothered Quigley,
landing on him at will. In the succeed
ing rounds Quigley braced up considerably
and landed some stiff punches on the Aus
stralian. The third and fourth rounds were
very tame, Critic making scarcely an eff
fort to punish his man, being content to
ward off Quigley's lead. The latter, how
ever, was clearly outclassed.
