GENERAL EZETA AND CASIN
LIVING ON THE FAT OF THE
LAND AT PANArIA.
Stories of Officers of the steamer Bar
clay Golden, Which Has Arrived
at San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 2S.-Gen-
eral Ezeta's filibustering steamer Bar
clay Golden arrived here somewhat un-
expectedly to-day. The officers of the
vessel bring quite a different tale from
that which was telegraphed, and also
deny in most emphatic terms that Ezeta
and Casin are hard ap" and depend
ent upon charity for their bread and
butter. According to them, Ezeta' s
wife keeps them supplied with money,
and he and his dependents are living
on the fat of the land at Panama.
They are particular in denying the
stories circulated to the effect that
EZeta and Casin are towards. Accord
ing to them, two braver men never
stepped in shoe leather, and had there
been fifty men at their backs when
they landed at Acajutla, Antonio Ezeta
would now be master of the republic.
I'VE reached Acajutla on January
Sd" said Chief officer Spring in an in
terview 1--WE had been up and down
the coast looking for some sign of Eze-
ta's friends, but as we learned after
ward, the revolution had been sprung
too soon, and we were a day behind
the fair.
"Casin and his men got ashore first,
and had reached a farm house before we
reached the beach. Before we could
land we saw a party of thirty Salvador
ans surround the farm house, and we
at once put to sea again. Casin and his
men did not wait to be attacked, but
began firing at once. They then made
a rush out of the front door, and the
soldiers did not wait for them, but ran
away as fast as their legs would carry
them, Their leader, who was on horse
back, led the way. Had Casin at that
time had fifty men behind him he could
have regained his kingdom. There was
no doubt of that.
LAS we were pulling back to the Bar
clay Golden the troops came out of
hiding and began firing at us. Casin
and his men returned their fire, and
several of the troops dropped, but how
badly they were hurt l do not know
Once aboard the tug Ezeta and Casin
took up their stand behind the coal
sacks and returned the enemy's fire un-
til we got under way. l suppose that

stand congratulated each other on the
success of the launch.
The men aboard the Iowa let go two
bow anchors when the momentum she
had received in the passage down the
ways died away, and brought her up
head down the stream.
After the launch a luncheon was
served in the mold loft. There was no

SO great that formalities had to be
abandoned.
After the luncheon the Washington

The Iowa, the keel Of which was laid
two and half years ago, is the fourth
battle-ship to be owned by the United
States. She has been constructed for
sea purposes, the first three built, the
Indiana, Massachusetts and Oregon, be-
ing coast battle-ships. The Iowa is of
] 200 tons greater displacement than
her sister ships, and several feet longer
and broader. The hull is of steel, with
| double bottom and close water-tight
subdivision to ten feet above the water
line. Her battery is to consist of four
twelve-inch, eight eight-inch and six
fcur-inch breech-loading rifles, twenty
six-pounders, four one-pounders, four
Gatlings and one field gun
| Compared with the Indiana the Iowa
has greater length, greater breadth, in
creased strength of outer line belt and
| greater coal endurance and speed to-
| gether with the ability to work the for
ward twelve-inch guns in almost any
condition of sea. The magnificent cleo
trio lighting plant, weighing forty five
tons, will afford means to discover the
enemy or guard against the attack of
torpedo-boats. She will require COM
| plement of nearly 500 men, or greater
| than that of any preceding warship of
the new navy.
| The Iowa is constructed under the Act
OF July 19, 1892, which made provision
for one sea-going battle-ship of about
5000 tons displacement, to cost, exclu-
sive of armament and speed premiums,
not more than $4,000,000 The details
OF the construction have been in the
hands of Chief Constructor Wilson and
Engineering Chief Melville, the famous
Arctic explorer.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The fol-

ITO the National Association of Dem
ocratic Clubs: Inasmuch as the Demo-
cratic party, when all its members are
in harmony supporting the principles
upon which it was founded-strict con-
struction, equal taxes, with economy
and simplicity of administration-un-
doubtedly commands the confidence of
the great majority of the American
people,s we especially urge upon the
democratic organizations affiliated
with the National Association to i'm
prove the opportunity of general recur-
renee to these sacred doctrines, as
taught by the founders, in some COM
mon and solemn celebration of the
birthday of Thomas Jefferson, and thus
renew our faith and demonstrate that
upon all essentials organized Demo-
Gratis throughout the Union are in
sound accord. "
while the Democratic societies in
various parts of the country shall be
on that day demonstrating their devo-
tion to the fundamental principles of
our party and honoring the immortal
name of it's father in the manner most
agreeable to themselves, the President
of the United States, the Cabinet, Dem
ocratic Senators and many distin-
guished leaders have been invited to
accompany the officers and Executive
Committee of the National Association
in an excursion to the tomb of the great
apostle of American liberty, there to re-
vive and reassert what all our history
proves, that in the strict observance
of the principles of the Democratic
party, as defined and illustrated by
Jefferson, lies the only security of gov
ernmen't at once free and pure.
"At Monticello an address will be
delivered by Ex-Governor Russell, one
Of the most prominent Democratic cit
izens of Massachusetts, to which there
will be a response by United States
Senator Daniel on behalf of Virginia.
THE Executive Committee will well
come to this excursion and ceremony

CHINO PEOPLE ENRAGED.
Because of the Death of Child Under
Christian Science Treatment.


Christian Science Treatment.
SAN BERNARDINO, March 2S.-
The people of Chino are enraged be-
cause of the death of a child under
Christian science treatment, and it is
intimated that DR.. Viola Brown will be
asked to leave the town at once.
Coroner Keating was summoned to
Chino on Tuesday to investigate the
death of the thirteen month old daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. o. Sedgwick. who
was taken i'll ten days ago with a bad
cold. Neighbors visiting the parents,
and seeing the condition Of the child,
had protested that a physician should
be called in to attend the little sufferer,
but as the parents had been i'll a week
previous and had become well, presum-
ably through the efforts Of DR.. Brown,
she was sent for to pray and administer
to the baby.
AS the days went by the babe grew
worse, and still the parents refused to
call a regular physician, until the little
girl was beyond earthly aid.
AT the inquest held yesterday the Cor
oner called the father to the stand, and
in the course of Sedgwick's testimony
he said: 'I believe If Christian science
could not cure the child, it would have
died anyway"
After hearing all the testimony, the
jury rendered the following verdict:
Died from pneumonia, through the
willful neglect of the parents
The feeling against DR.. Brown is very
bitter, and it is said that she will be
compelled to leave Chino, If she does
not go willingly.

MURPHY WILL CONTEST.
Litigation Over the Estate Ended
at Last.

OAKLAND, March 2S.-The cele-
brated Murphy will contest, which at
tracted considerable attention in this
State and in London about two years
ago, is ended. This morning an order
was made by the Supreme Court that
the appeal of the contestants against
the decision rendered last January by
Judge Frick should be dismissed by
stipulation.
AS soon as the order was made the
case was brought before Judge Frick
in the Superior Court, and he made an
order distributing the estate of the late
Anna l.. Murphy of San Francisco to
the three daughters, Mary Ellen, now
the wife of Don Dominguez, Spanish
nobleman, Frances J. Murphy and
Mary NJ. Murphy, share and share
alike.
The will of Mrs. Murphy excluded
her sons Samuel and Dan Murphy and
her daughter Lady Wolseley, wife of
Lord Garnet Wolseley, COMMANDMENT
Chief of the British army, from any
share in the estate. The children men
toned in the will contested it, and the
. case was probably the most celebrated
ever fought in the Alameda courts. The
will was eventually set aside by Judge
Henshaw in the Superior Court, but the
Supreme Court reversed the decision.
The litigation threatened to be almost
interminable, and finally when there
was danger of the vast estate being
eaten up in litigation compromise was
effected. Under the terms of the COM
promise the contesting children will
each receive about $4,000, and the
three sisters about 100000. The exact
terms of the compromise have not been
made known, but enough has trans
pired to show nearly what figures were
agreed upon
1.-THE dismissal Of the appeal by the
Supreme Court ends this case" said
Attorney Metcalf tonight. There is
nothing now to hinder the distribution,
and it is safe to say that the Murphy
case will not be heard of again in the
courts
