FATE OF BuSTAMENTE.

San Francisco, Sept. 1O.-The steamer
City of Sydney, which arrived IRON
Panama last night, brought particll
of the capture of Florencio Bustamente,
one of Antonio Ezeta's favorite lieuLei-
ants, by the Salvadorean authorize 10
is supposed by the Spanish-Amellc ahS
who came upon the City of Sydney that
he has been torn to pieces by an intrl-
ated mob or publicly shot in the streeta
in the city of San Salvador long before
this.
The surrender of Bustamente b. he
people of Nicaragua came by way Of Tg-
turn for the friendly act of Salvador In
the Corinto affair.
The arrest of Bustamente, while on
board an American ship, is said to be in
direct violation of international Law, ana
the turbulent little Central America re-
public may be called to account for its
high-handed action by the United States,
Captain johnson of the City of Sydney
refuses to discuss the matter, saying
that he could not do so until he had first
| consulted his superiors.
Bustamente was found after muCl dill
| ticulty, hiding under the coal bunkers.
Though he knew he was going TO his
death when he left the steamer, he never
uttered a reproach. He declared that
he should remain Ezeta's friend t. the
last. Ihe steamship company nlu 10
other recourse than to turn over Busta-
mente, for warrants charging him with
crime were presented and the govern
! ment of Salvador, one of the countries
which gives subsidy to the Pacific Mail
company, made formal demand IoT his
surrender.
Concernig the fact that a consular
agent of the United States was on the
steamer when Bustamente was formally
seized, there is little to say. TIL con.
sular agent was Mr.. Cooper, who is al
at Libertad in the interest of a cable
company. 1t is maintained that he was
aboard the steamer, not in his colsuIal
| capacity, but as representing the cab.t
company. He took no hand in the mat
ter in any way and did not dire ih5
surrender of Bustamente, as soIre OF
| the passengers supposed.
Bustamente was well known in Sar
| Francisco. as he was under arrest mere
as one of the Salvadorean refugces.

The good people of Austin who have

case of last months weather the oppor-
tunity for kicking was at hand. During
the entire month the maximum tempera-

quite frequently it was 100, the minimum
was never lower than II every. day
during the month. On the End, 18th and
18th, the maximum temperature went

NATURAL ADVANTAGES VS.. EN-

10 The Statesman:

To The StateSman: " -.
If there are any citizens who have I'M
agined that the completion of the dam
was to be the elimination of the work
which was TO make Austin commercially
great, they had as well dismiss any such
vain hopes. The completion of the dam
is but one step in the direction of future
growth; it is but the laying of the founda-
ton which makes possible the building
of the superstructure.
The completed dam, with its vast stor-
age of power, has now become practically
a natural advantage" but it will be
grave error to presume that any natural
advantages, however great, are of them
selves sufficiently alluring and attractive
to compete against persistent and we'll
