JIMENEz HAS A FRIEND,
Consul Calderon Has a Good
Word to Say for the
Young Fellow.
General Ezeta Is Tired of Being
Questioned on the Politics
of Salvador.

Far from abating, interest in the Ezeta-
Jimenez case seems on the increase. Moth
ing else is talked of in Spanish American
social circles and widely variant are the

Dr. Eustoriio Calderon, the present Con-
sui of Salvador IN this City, seems to take
great umb bragg at certain remarks of Gen.
eral Ezeta.
'iOf course" he remarked yesterday,
this Excellency as we see him here is quiet
and Iaw-abiding, but the real Don Carlos

to criticize my attitude toward Jimenez.
had better make brief statement of the
case and let 1t drop; On Tuesday, the day
after the trouble, Don Antonio Martinez
and Don Eladio Castillo, friends and COM
some note, came TO my Office, stating that
they had been sent by Jimenez, who was
under arrest. As in official duty bound,
went with them to the City Hall.

man of business. John I. Wright, Consul
of Honduras. who had baIled him ont. He

Mr.. kaYanaugh, an employe of Mr..
Wright, and 1, with ex-Judee Sullivan,
went to the City Hail again, and after
some ado procured his release. The four
of us then went to the Hotel Marechal
Mel, where an officer was waiting TO ar

young man had been released on bonds.

''Jimencz says he was District Attorney
in one of the courts of Salvador, and
claims to have bsen impressed into the

General EZeta. l never knew Jimenez
before Tuesday, but he seems reliable,

At the Marechal Mel the ex-President
is cock of the walk. Jimenez is preparing
to depart, having been deticately requested
TO seek other quarters. Meanwhile Don
Carlos and he never see each other, the
young man giving his Excellency a wide
berth. Arrangements are being made for
the reception of the ex-President's wife,
