WASHINGTON, March 2o.-Senor Lazo,
the Guatemalan Minister, and Senior
Calvo, the Costa Rico Charge d Affaires
declare that the news of revolution in
Salvador in the interest of General Ezeta
is entirely false.
They thought it very singular that the
steamer Saturn, which was the bearer of
such important facts, did not communicate
them to the Guatemalan or Mexican ports
where she touched, and from where they
could have been wired to this country, as
are many other news items but waited I'M
til her arrival at San Francisco.
Seniors Lazo and Calvo say the fabric
ton of such a dispatch is verified, because
they are in communication with the State
OF Salvador, although neither of them is a
representative of that country.
They are sure that they would have re-
ceived information through their CORE
spondents or otherwise in regard to such
grave events, which are said to have hap
penen in the early part of February.

HE KNOWS HIS BUSINESS,
And Therefore Could Easily

THAT BRITISH FLAG YARN.
The Captain of the Offending Span
ish Cruiser Makes a Peculiar
Report.

NEW YORK, March 20.-The steamship
Alliance, which was fired upon by Span
ish gunboat, sailed for Colon to-day. A
report that she is to carry rifles and NUM-
tons of war when she puts to sea was con-
tirmed by the agents of the line. The fact
of her doing So it was explained, was not
remarkable or in any way sensational.
The company acts as carrier of arms to the
Colombian Government on nearly every
trip of its vessels. 1t is perfectly legiti-
mate trade and violates no law.
Captain Crossman was seen by an Asso-
ciated Press reporter to-day, just before his
steamer, the Alliance, sailed for Colon, and
was asked what he had to say regarding
the statement that President Cleveland
had expressed great dissatisfaction with
what were claimed to be glaring incon-
sistencies in the statement submitted by
Captain Crossman.
"Well," said he, "I don't care to criticise
the President of the United States, but 1
do think l know my business. 1 have
spent thirty-six years learning it and
think L am competent to prepare an ac-
curate chart and description of my ships
course at sea. If the President had re-
quested my appearance in Washington to
peISondIly eApldln Jne mdJUer, l. JnlnK L
could have satisfied him in five minutes.
There is nothing more to be said about the
affair"
KEY WEST, March 2O.-La Union, the
constitutional semi-official newspaper at
Havana, reviews the allegations in the
Alliance case and gives the opinion that
if the vessel was really fired upon the
Spanish commander was fully justified.
1t says the Spanish navy is unconquera-
BILE, and adds: 1t would be well for the
United States TO bear this in mind in con-
tentions that may arise through the adj
venturers and traitors who make war on
Spain and her noble sons; and let that
nation remember that laws of neutrality
were made by nations that know how to
respect them.
HAVANA, March 20.-The report of the
captain of the cruiser Condo de Venadito,
which fired on the Alliance on March 8,
has been made public. In his report he
says the cruiser was steaming leisurely
along within mile and half of land.
The captain reasserts that the steamer
was within the three-mile limit and was
flying the British flag.
