Detention of ill) American Sl< iiini-r. -The 

 Pacilio .Mini Steamship ( niiipiiiiy, who**- steamers 

 Iniicliat all tin- ports between Sun Franc. ><(> and 

 I'uiiiiiim. has been I lie chief means of developing 

 the loreign I null- of the < ential American coun- 

 tries, liom each of which it has received mail 

 subsidies. Tin- people of Salvador have often 

 liccn dissatisiied wiih I In- charges and accommo- 

 dations, and I In- men in power have been angry 

 I ieeau>e they could extract no bribes from the 

 company ; yet, so long as there was no conijK-ti- 



tioll nil the 'NeM co;i>t, tile ollicers of the COIII- 

 jiany could dely their resentment. Recently 

 three (ierman lines running between Central 

 America and Kumpe, and one running from the 

 \\est coast to Mexico and China, have made the 

 dictators of thaw republics BOON independent, 

 and have given satistaction to the planters by 

 loading and sailing at their convenience, and by 

 lowering freight rates to the extent of one or 

 two cents on every pound of coffee. When the 

 City of Panama,'' one of the smaller vessels of 

 the Pacific Mail Company, entered the port of 

 La Union, President Ezeta, learning that she 

 had on board Dr. Ayala, Gen. Letona, Gen. Ri- 

 vas. and Dr. Luciano Hernandez, to whom Presi- 

 dent Barillas had offered asylum and who were 

 on their way to Guatemala, demanded that thev 

 should be given up to the Salvadorian authori- 

 ties. Capt. White, master of the vessel, refused 

 to comply, and, as tho captain of the port de- 

 layed giving him the permit to sail, he suspected 

 that the Government was making preparations 

 to seize his passengers, and therefore ne sailed 

 without clearance papers. When he put in nt 

 La Libertad he was informed that the vessel was 

 declared confiscate, and was forbidden to pull up 

 anchor till the matter was adjusted ; otherwise 

 the steamer would be seized by the Government 

 on her arrival at Acajutla. In reply to the inqui- 

 ries of the company's officials, the Minister of 

 Commerce replied that Salvador was merely 

 nutting in force the doctrine laid down by the 

 United States Government in the case of the 

 Itata." ('apt. White was convinced that the 

 Salvadorian President, who was at Acajutla with 

 an armed force, intended to board the steamer 

 and make prisoners of the political refugees. On 

 instructions telegraphed by Mr. Dow, the com- 

 pany's agent at Panama, he ignored the notice 

 of confiscation, weighed anchor on Aug. 10, and 

 landed his passengers safely at San Jose. The 

 United States minister began his inquiry into 

 the matter after the ship was gone. The inci- 

 dent gave occasion for a protest from the Salva- 

 dorian Government, and a demand for the pun- 

 ishment of Capt. White, with which the United 

 States Government refused to comply. After 

 the Salvadorian exiles arrived in the "ity of 

 Guatemala, attempts were made to assassinate 

 them. Five suspected assassins were expelled 

 from the country by the Guatemala authorities 

 MI Sept. 4, after one of the refugees had been 

 shot at; and yet on tho same day Dr. Ayala. who 

 was Vieo-Presidont of Salvador when President 

 Menonde/ was killed by the revolutionists, and 

 was therefore the constitutional successor to the 

 office usurped by Kzota. was murdered in his 



own house by a man who nto|<- in utid -hoi him in

 work, we are satisfied that the money i>

 advantage."
