PROBABLY SHOT NOW
Florence Bustaments and BIS Capture
by the SalVadQrean Authorities.
VIOLATION OF TREATY LAW.
Tho south American Republic VIII
he Called on to Explain It's Actioh
to the United States-Search OF
Ship.

GAN FRANCISCO, CAL, September TO-
Tbe steamer City Of Sydney, which ar
rived from Panama and way-ports iast
night. brought news OF the capture Vi
Florence Bustamente. one OF Ah'onio
Ezeta's favorite lieutenants, by t1e sal
vadorean authorities. 1t is probable that
before this time he has been shot.
The arrest Of Bustamente. II precendents
count for anything, Is direct VIOLATION
of treaty law, and the little South Ameri-
can republic will be called on to explain
It's action 10 the United States. The cap
tain of the Sydney would not discuss the
matter saying he could not do so until
he had consulted his superior. Some OF
the passengers were not so reticent.
1t appears that Bustamente was brought
on board at Corinto. being escorted to the
ship by an armed force The Nicaraguan
authorities stated that the passenger was
a man who had made himself obnoxious
to the government, and that he was
menace to the peace OF the country All
went well until the steamer reached La
Llbertad. the most southery port or sal
yador. While the vessel lay in port seve-
raj officers came on board her ana ne
manded the surrender OF the refugee.
Then. for the first time apparently, was
the identity OF the passenger from CO.
rlnto made known.
The refugee was not given up immedl-
ately, and from what can be learned
considerable correspondence passed be
tween the captain and the shore, ana 1t
Is thought that Captain Johnston was
acting unde~ orders from the company's
agent when he gave w the refugee From
the story told By tho passengers search
was made through the ship for the unfor'
tunate Bustament-, but without success,
although he was on board What was
going on ashore could only be surmised.
II was evident that the situation was very
serious: so much so, I'm fact that had
Bustamente not been finally found, there
IS no telling what nigh. have happened
10 the vessel As II was. she was delay
Cd several hours
The Salvadoreans had heard or the
fierce utterances OF Ezeta and his follow
Srs. and their purpose 10 regain possession
VI the government. and no doubt were
determined TO take Bustamente at all
hazards. 1t is doubtful, however. whether
they would have gone TO extremes ana
