EzETES HOPE is GONE
The Fallen President Looks
Upon the Greater Republic
as a Farce.
Says 1t Is Scheme for the Purpose
of Being Able to Obtain
Large Losns
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL.

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
908 Broadway, Jan. 6.
General Ezeta, the exiled President OF
the Repu bic of Salvador, had one more
bitter dreg added to his cup of unhappi-
ness this morning. He read the published
report of the cancellation of the papers of
the Consuls-General of the republics of
Honduras, Salvador and Nicaragua and
the issuance OF papers to his sworn enemy.
DR.. Calderon, as Consul-General of the
three united republics.
These facts mean that Ezeta's last hope
of returning TO Salvador and being re-
ceived by his faithful people will never be
realized.
II look upon the whole matter" said
the general, as he paced uneasily up and
down his room in the Galindo Hotel, "as
a great farce. The unificatIon of those
three republics has all been accomplished
by their respective Governments without
ever submitting the question to the peo-
pie. There is a motive for it-a very clever
motive-and before long the money lend
ers of this country and Europe VIII dis
cover it. These three bankrupt republics
have simply banded together for mutual
strength, and for the purpose of present
ing TO the world an appearance of solidity
and stability so that they will be enabled
to float some heavy loans under the guise
of making permanent improvements and
developing the Greater Republic of Cen
trail America.
"Any one as familiar as l am with that
territory must admit that my statement
is correct. The same terms upon which
those three republics united were offered
to Guatemala and Costa RIGA and were
refused. Those two republics are well
governed and elect their officials in the
same manner as the United States. They
are financially sound and progressive, and
knew far more than to make an alliance
with states hopelessly bankrupt and with
out credit abroad.
THE Greater Republic will exist only
until such time as an international COM
plieation arises. The citizens have not
passed upon this question of federation,
and they do not care so long as they are
not affected individually. They have be-
come used to state of chronic revolution,
but when they find themselves involved
with some foreign nation down will go
this triple Government, and with the Gov
eminent will disappear the loans that the
present federation may have made it
possible to borrow.

Rev. Father McSweeny. He accom- panied

HAD FUN WITH A WHALE.
The Yachtsmen on the Catherine
Made a Target of the
LeViathan.


The crew of the yacht Catherine had
lots OF fun the other day with a whale
that has made its way into the bay. The
Sutherland brothers had couple of
friends out with them, and when the levia-
than came up few yards away from the
yacht they began pumping lead into him
from a Winchester. The whale seemed to
like ii, and kept getting nearer and
nearer to the Catherine until the yachts
men had to bout ship in order to escape
a collision. In all seven shots were fired
into the mammal at close range. but not
one of them seemed to nave the slig htes t
effect.
The cruiser Baltimore was steamed up
and down the bay yesterday while the
com passes were being adjusted. A num-
ber of the deserters have returned to the
ship and it is expected that all the others
will follow suit before the cruiser gets
away next Saturday.
The United States Coast Survey steamer
Patterson arrived yesterday from Sitka,
Alaska, via Seattle. Her reports nave al
ready been published.
The cruise of the whaler Thrasher was
lively one. Five ex-soldiers were anon e
the crew and when they were not i'll iron s
they were in trouble. They took couple e
of shots al the cook because he did not
cook to suit them and they attempted to
fire the ship. The blaze was put out by
the crew and the soldiers were put on
bread and wafer as a punishment.
