TROUBLE IN ECUADOR
Growing Out of the Sale of Cruiser
Esmeralda to Japan.
Accusations of Corruption
Are Freely Made.
American War Vessel Receives Instructions to
Protect Americans Interests.

WASHINGTON, May s.--The fact leaked
out at the navy department yesterday
after having been hidden from the public
for q week, that the u. S. s. Ranger had
been ordered from Buena Ventura, Colom-
bia, on May 2, to Esmeraldas, a port In
northern Ecuador, where she probably has
been for the last four days, the voyage be-
ing only about 45 miles In length.
This order was issued at the request of
the state department, where 1t was stated
that the request was made because the
department had been convinced by repre-
sentations made by Americans having
interests in Ecuador that it would be wise
to do SO. No further statement as to the
nature Of the trouble that has arisen in
Ecuador could be gathered at ths state de-
partment, but from other sources 1T Is
learned that n revolution is believed to be
impending In that country, as the outcome
of the bitter dissatisfaction engendered by
the use of the Ecuadorean flag to cover the
transfer to Japan Of the Gillian cruiser
Esmeralda last winter
Some American merchants have large
interests in silver mines and other proper
ties in Ecuador and it was upon their
representations that the state department.
acted, although it has no assurance that a
revolution has actually broken out.
Beginning of the Trouble.
On April "a, President Cordero of Ecua-
dor resigned, the vice president taking his
place. The cabinet was reorganiZed with
Louis Salvador rs minister of the interior;
DR. NuneZ, minister of finance; General
Sarasti, minister of war, and DR.. Espinoza,
minister of justice.
The first sign Of the present trouble was
the scandal attending the sale of the
cruiser Esmeralda, which was bought by
Ecuador from Chill and then turned over
to Japan. Accusations of corruption in
the management of this affair have been
freely made. Three weeks ago, General
Alloy Alfaro, the leader of the radical
party, who has been living in exile in Mic
aragua, sent out proclamation in which
he said that the honorof the government
was at stake, and that the only way to set
the country right before the other nations
would be to depose those who were re-
sponsible.
At last accounts, General Alfaro was on
his way TO Ecuador to head the discon-
tented party, and the revolution may have
been consummated before his arrival
From sources friendly to the movement IL
is stated that his adherents number from
5000 to 10000, and that they recently cap
tured Ibarra, u town of about 1000 inhabi-
tants, situated near Quito, and Esmeraldas,
a maritime town, the capital Of the de-
partment Of the same name.

A Savage Assault.

BOSTON, May S.-Louls GuinnassO on
tered an Italian saloon on Cross street last
night and found there two female friends
of his, whom he tried to induce to sc
home. Antonio Tressa, an Italian, OBJ
jected to this and followed them to the
sidewalk, where he drew n knife and made
back handed slash at Guinnasso's threat.
The knife penetrated the coat collar, shirt
DOLLAR and tie, making wound an inch
wide and fully az deep. A second slash
laid open the forefnger of Guinnasso's left
hand. Tressa was arrested.

CAMBRIDGE, May S.-The question of
intercollegiate football was brought up
again yesterday in the first meeting of the
Harvard faculty since the return of Presi-
dent Eliot from his trip abroad. A motion
prohibiting students from taking part in
intercollegiate football contests failed to
pass. This means teat there will be no
more discussion of the football question
by the faculty this year, and that the ath-
letic committee will be unhampered in it's
efforts to have football played under re-
form rules

BANKED out, and no signatures could be
| found The same error appeared in
the Second of the Eighth, as also in the
Third Precinct. The First and Third
Precinct returns of the Ninth Ward
were open to the same objection, but
in the Third less so.
In most of the precincts the clerks
failed to deface the unused ballots as
the law requires, and in some of the
precincts the method of counting the
ballots was wrong, and not as re-
quired by law, though the method of
counting stared all the election officers
in the face in bold type on specially
prepared instructions, on the first page
of the tally sheets.
In several cases the documents were
placed in the wrong envelopes, causing
confusion in canvassing, and the open
ing of envelopes that should remain
sealed. In at least one case the Off
cial tally sheet was not returned to the
Clerk, and the canvasSing board had
to send out and hunt it up from the
pocket of one of the election board
In some cases where two persons We're
voted for the same Office, election
boards threw out the whole ballot
though the law specially provides that
only the vote for that Office shall be
rejected
In some cases where the stamped
"X' did not appear exactly in the
square provided by the printer, the
vote was cast out though the inten-
tion of the voter was easily ascertain
able. In many cases the returns were
in the ballot boxes, though the law
does not SO provide, and sometimes
boxes were committed to the care of
express wagon drivers to deliver to
the Clerk, though the law expressly
provides for delivery by one of the
hn1 nd 11C In, fan- n
pressman took two boxes to the city
prison and had them locked up in
cell. In many cases ballot clerks did
not inform voters as the law directs to
Use the official stamp or else their bal
lots would be thrown out. They con-
tented themselves by muttering to
voters use the stamp. In many
cases they neglected to obey the law
even to that extent.
A very frequent error was the plac-
ing OF the sealed returns in the ballot
box, and then sealing the box, return
ing it to the Clerk, whereas the law
requires and the instructions plainly
directed that the ballots and returns
packages be carried by one of the
beard to the City Clerk, who must in
dOrSe upon the envelope the name of
the person from whom it is received.
Where the packages were locked up in
the ballot box this Endorsement of re-
ceipt could not be and was not made.
Another very bad error was commit
ted by several election boards. namely,
placing the certificate of tally totals
in the ballot envelope. That envelope
the law requires shall be sealed up
and never opened except by order of
court hearing a contested election case.
The sealed packages to be kept year
and then burned without being open
ed But when the tally certificate is
sealed up with the ballots the canvass
ing board has to break the seals to get
them out, or else omit to canvass the
precinct returns.
Not all the errors of the election
boards have been here listed, but
enough to show that the law in many
cases was not complied with, and in
many others is stupidly or willfully
violated and the rights Of the voters
thus seriously endangered.
