SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 13.-The Pa
cific Mail steamer Zealandia, which ar
rived from Panama to-day, brings in
formation concerning the movements OF
General Ezeta and his band of f1libus-
ters on board the schooner Barclay
Golden off the coast of Salvador
A private letter under Panama date
frcm an officer of the United States
cruiser Alert. thus speaks of the Gen
eral:
THE Barclay Golden arrived here on
Monday, bringing Ezeta and his party
of desperadoes. Their expedition
turned out to be a f1Zzle. They landed
two or three men at Salvador, a few
miles below Acajutla, but they Were
driven off by few soldiers. While the
shooting was going on, Ezeta hid be-
hind the sacks of coal piled up on deck,
and he did not show UP again until the
tug was out of range.
Eighteen cases of ammunition We're
: seized by the Colombian Government,
and the General only escaped by the
skin of his teeth.
"Ezeta's game is probably up, and his
followers have lost faith in him since he
ran away at the first shot, and nearly
broke his neck in the ventilator. There
will be no revolution in Salvador.
when the Zealandia was at Panama
Ezeta wanted to take passage for San
Francisco. The Captain refused him
TRANSPORTATION, as he was afraid OF
trouble at the first Salvadorean port.
Referring to the Alert, the officer
states that on her way to Callao she
was caught in a. cyclone and consider
ably damaged. The letter continues
1--WE were a sad-looking wreck when we
reached Callao. Head -booms and fore
topgallant mast gone, and twelve feet
OF the bow crushed in. But after forty
six working days. of good hard en-
deavor, everything was made ship
shape again"
Another vessel of the navy was In
trouble. and the letter treats it in this
way: 1.-THE Marion arrived a few days
before we sailed. She came in under
canvas, her engines having broken
down. It will take her six or eight
weeks to get into good order again, and
then the chances are that she will have
to go back to Mare Island
r. S. Lopez, Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary from Salvador
to Mexico, who arrived on the Zealan-
dia, says that Ezeta's by-play of cap
turing Salvador by his guises on the
Barclay Golden has made him the
laughing-stock of the whole of Central
America.
"Ezeta is now at Pomona" said he,
"and there 1 suppose he will remain.
There is one thing certain, and that is
that he is without friends in Salvador
The Ezetas, when in power, were SIM
ply bandits and Caligulas. They robbed
the treasury and citizens, and killed
those who were in their way. am
sorry that their deeds are not as fully
known abroad as they should be. II
they were a closer bond of sympathy
would exist between other countries and
Salvador AS it is, the impression pre-
walls that Salvador is really at all times
a semi -barbaric country. That is not
so.'

THE NORTH POLE.
4 Claim That DIR. Nansen, the Nor
wegian, Has Reached 1t.


ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 13.-A dis
patch from Irkutsk, Siberia, says that
a Siberian trader named Koachlaeroff,
who is acting in the capacity of agent
for Dr. Nansen the Arctic explorer,
has stated that off Kolymsk he received
information that Nansen had reached
the North Pole, where he found land,
and is now on his way back.
When Nansen sailed on his voyage 1t
was with the intention of devoting five
years to it if necessary. His vessel was
peculiarly constructed, so as to resist
the pressure of the ice. and fully pro-
visioned for five years. His intention
was to penetrate the ice as far as pos
sible and then let it carry him north.
DR.. Frithjof Nansen, who has gained
fame as an Arctic explorer, is about 80
wears of age. He was formerly keeper
of the Natural History Museum OF
Bergen, Norway. He acquired his
Arctic experience in Greenland. Nor
denskiold had started a theory that
the interior of Greenland had a mild
climate. and that probably the surviv-
crs of the settlers from Iceland would be
found living there. To determine this
question DR.. Nansen, accompanied by
three .Norwegians and two Laplanders,
started from Iceland in June, 1888.
After terrible hardships, in some places
finding a temperature so or 30 degrees
below zero, they succeeded in crossing
Greenland and reached the western
coast in September. They were obliged
to remain in Greenland all winter

and Potter of New York were appointed
a committee to inquire into the laws OF
the various States in relation to the
matter, with power to take out incor-

DOUBTED BY PEARY.
Little Credence Put in the Report of
Manson Reaching the North Pole.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-When Lieu
tenant Peary was seen tonight and
asked whether in his judgment any re-
lance was to be placed in the report
that DR.. Nansen had reached the North
Pole, and is now there, he promptly re-
Piled that what with the meagerness
of the dispatch, the locality from which
the news comes and the season, it does
not seem to him as likely to be authen-
tic
DR.. Nansen, If his theory in regard to
the current be correct, Lieutenant
Peary said, would not be likely to ever
set back in that direction. He expected
to cross the Pole and come out some-
where on the east coast Of Greenland.
If Nansen or any of his party are
where it is said to be. the Lieutenant
thought the message should come di-
rect from him.

Not as Many Deaths as First Feared,
But Property Loss Greater.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-A special
cable to the Herald from Panama
says:
The fire that swept through the city
of GuayaquI, Ecuador, yesterday did
not result in as many deaths as at first
feared, but the property loss was much
greater. Only five members of the fire
brigade were killed, though forty were
injured and several so severely that
the death list may be materially in
creased.
More than 1874 houses, including sew
eral public buildings of great beauty
and one or more of historic interest,
were destroyed. Among the latter were
the cathedral and the convent adjoin-
ing.
The loss is conservatively estimated
at $4,000000.

NIBLsHN's DISAPPEARANCE.
Said to be Defaulter to the Extent of
Several Thousand Dollars.

STOCKTON, Feb. 13-It is now
known that Edward c. C. Nielsen. the
missing bookkeeper of Thomas & Buell.,
the planning mill men of this city, is
defaulter to the extent of several thou
sand dollars. His pecuIations extend
over six or seven years. and were COW
cred up by false footings in the cash
book and ledger. Some months as high
as $3.50 was taken. and at other times
smaller sums. ranging down to 500.
Experts are now busy examining the
books, but there are so many discrepan-
cies that the full amount of the defalca-
ton will not be known for several days.
Before leaving Stockton he gave his
wife a policy for $4,000 on his life. This
led to the belief that he had killed him
self, but he was seen in San Fran
cisco on Sunday by Stockton man. He
has been gone now two weeks. 1t is
not likely that he will be prosecuted.
