Bustamente, an Adherent of Ezetn,
TV us Taken from theVcssel Against
the Protest of Officers Who Gire
11 1 in Up on Account ot ThreutH
of Violence.
Ban Francisco, Sept. 10. Tlio btiamer
City of Sydney, which arrh ed from Panama
and war oorts last night, brought news
of the rapture of Flormclo Bustamcnte,
one of Antonio Ezeta's favorite lieuten
ants, by the Sahadorean authorities. It
Is probable that before this time be has
keen shot.
Bustamcnte Is one of the men who
accompaniedEzctatothisportonthesteam
er Bennington, after escaping from Sal
vador subsequent to the downfall of the
the Ezeras. The refugees lay In Sala
dorean waters for several weeks after they
had taken refuge on the Bennington.
President Guitcrrez made repeated de
mands Tor their surrender, but the captain
refused to gh e them up.
Before the matter was settled with the
United States authorities, the Bennington
was ordered to San Francisco. The case
of the refugees was tried in the United
States court here and attracted world
wide attention at tho time. The result w as
that the United States refused to she up
the men. All but Ezeta left the city. 'When
last heard from Bustamente was in Mexico,
where he was said to be plotting for the
return of his chief to Salvador. Evidently
the authorities of the latter country had
their eyes on the monkey In the hole, as, the
refugees were known, and were only
waiting an opportunity to pounce upon
them.
VIOLATION' OF LAW.
The arrest of Bustamcnte, if precedents
count for anything, is a direct violation of
International law, and the turbulent'little
Central American republic will probably be
piled to account for its high-handed action
by the United States.
Capt. Johiion, of the City of Sydney, re
fused to discuss the matter, saying that he
could not do so until he had first consulted
his superiors The passengers of the
steamer, however, who were comersant
with all the facts, were not so reticent.
It appears tbalSustanjente was brought
on board at Corinto, being escorted to the
ship by nil. armed force. The Nicaraguan
authorities stated that the passenger w
a man who had made himself obnoxious
to thegoverument and that hewas a menace
to the peace of the country. As bis passage
was paid no questions were asked.
DEMANDED SURRENDER.
All went well until the steamer reached
. La Llbertad, the most southerly port of
Ban Salvador. While the vessel lay In
port several officers came out to her and
demanded the surrender of the refugee.
Then, for the first time apparently, was
the identity of the passenger from Corinto
made known
The refugee was not givcnuplmmedlately
and from what can be learned, considerable
correspondence passed between the cap
tain and the shore, and it Is thought that
Capt. Johnson-was acting jmder orders
from the company'sagent wbenhe gave up
the refugee.
From the Btory told by the passengers,
a search was made through the ship for
the unfortunate Bustamcnte, but without
success, although on board the vessel. "What
was going on ashore could only be sur
mised. It was evident that the situation
Xas very serious; so much so, in fact, that

As it was,6hc was delayed se eral hours.
The Salvadoreans had heard of the fierce

their boast to regsln iossesston of the gov

take Bustamentc at Ml hazards. It is
doubtful, though, whether they would have
gone to extremes and fired on an Anncan

FOULED AT THE STAHT.
Valkyrie's Steel Boom Disarranged
the Defender's nigging.
After tbe preparatory signal had been
given at 10 BO and the course signals an
nounced the yachts began maneuvering
in and out among the fleet of excursion
steamers, which, as usual, were in the
way. The wind was about six knots and
from the south.
The course made the first leg a beat,
the second a broad reach, and the third a
reach with the wind nearly abeam.
Tbe Jockeying for position at the start
was as fine a jilece of work as has ever
been seen, but unfortunately it ended in
a foul just as the boats were crossing the
line.
Tho Derender stood over toward the
Long Island shore and the Valkyrie pur
sued her. Capt. Cranrield was apparently
out for blood. When the Defender gybed
and stood for tbe line at 10 54 Cranfleld
swung his boat around as though It had
a pivot in the center, and he was then be

shot out baby jib topsails.
Tbe Defender tried a luffing game, but
Cranford was too oulck. ire held the
(Windward berth as both boais made for

raking across the Defender's deck and car

and the topmast sagged as though It were
broken.

while things were being straightened out.
A protest flag was shown on the De

pursuit of the enemy.
Both boats were on tbe starboard tack
at the time of the accident. The Valkyrie
was running freer than the Defender, and
the latter had the right of way. The fault
was plainly tbat of the Valkyrie, whose

Two minutes after the start both went on
the port tack and stood out toward the
Jersey shore. At 11'24 a. m. the Defender
went on the starboard tack and Valkyrie
followed suit. The British boat had gained

EVEHY'BODY WENT AGAIX. -
enes Preceding the Second Race of
the Great Ynelits.
On Board the United Tress Tug, via Sandy
Hook, Sept. 10. Fog and general murki
ness ushered in the day 6et for the second
contest between Lord Dunn-nen's Valkyrie
and the great American yacht Defender.
On bay and river the white haze hid the
shipping from view, and even in the city's
street New Yorkers who took an early peep
at the weather saw nothing buttog.
Farmer Dunn had modestly predicted a
slight haze, but here was a curtain of mist
that seemed almost discouraging. How
e er, there was a gentle wind coming in
from the westward and Old Sol was forging
shafts of beat in the east that soon worked
through the fog, and all the yachtsmen
donned their blue suits and caps with rak
ish visors, and pretty girls galore ar
rayed themcc-lves In nautical rigs of serge
and duck.
The yachting contingent was not dis
mayed by a wbiff of fog In the morning.
The people were out to see all tbat could
be seen ot the great international doings
beyond fcandy Hook. That portion of tbe
general public which was actuated by a
patriotic desire to be present when the
crack yacht o Uncle Sam and John Bull
met for their second bout, made baste to
secure good seats on the excursion boats
and club steamers.
Tbe crowd was not as numerous as on
Saturday, but it numbered w ell up In the
thousands. Most of the steamboat cap
tains named an hour earlier for departure
than on Saturday, as they found it no easy
matter to push their deep-laden craft
through the thirty miles nt water that
intervened between the Battery and Sandy
Hook Lightship.
PREPARED FOR RAIN.
The murky atmosphere and generally
dubious weather conditions led the excur
sionists to carry mackintoshes and thick
wraps. As nsual the great topic of con
versation was tbe chances of the fight
for the cup.
The margin by which the Defender won
on Saturday gave Americans an over
confidence in the prowess of the Herres
hoff boat. Englishmen nnd Canadians
kept up an air of confidence, but when
money was offered right and left at double
tbe odds that prevailed last week, her
Majesty's subjects'decllned.

Their crews breakfasted early on tht
lumbering propellers Hattie Palmer and
City ot Bridgeport, which served as
floating 'warding houses for the men. After
breakfast there was a careful tautenlna
up and testing of rigging and deck tackle.
On the Defender there was brass to polish,
the Valkyrie had only decks to wash down.
Thesk Ippcrs of both yachts looked long and
earnestly at the weather.
The wind was light from the southwest
and the fog was lifting slowly. Both boats
got club topsails ready and made prepara
tions for light airs.
Tug boat captains predicted a good
sailing breeze, and the yacht sharps on club
steamers all said there would be enough
wind to make a race, but not enough to
bury lee scuppers.
DEFENDER OUT EARLY.
The Defender was the first of the two
yachts to leave Bay Ridge. She lay in the
midst of a fleet of the finest steam and sail
ing yachts in America. At7:40sbetooka
line from the tug Wallace B. Flint and
started for the scene of action.
The Valkyrie left her moorings ten min
utes later in tow of the White Star tug
Pulvcr. Just below the Narrows the crew
of the Defender began to send up their main
sail. They had it well peaked up before
reaching the tower quarantine station off
Hoffman Island.
Swash Channel was reached, and tho
tug pointed ber nose out toward deeper
water the headsalb were broken out. Tha
yacht remained in tow, however, until
she was weTT out toward Sandy Hook
lightship.
On the boat were Mr. and Mrs. Iselln,
Nat Herresboff. Woodbury Kane, New
bery Thorne, Herbert Leeds, and David
Henderson, the representative of Lord
Dunraven The yellow dog Sandy was
there, and the Yankee tars from Deer
Island patted his back and told him to do
as gcoj work to-day as on Satruday.
The Valkyrie's crew began to make sail
as soon as they were under way. The big
mainsail was sent up. All bands bad a tug
pulling the clew well out to the end ot the
boom. When this was done and peak
and throat halyards had been stretched
to the utmost, tbe sail set as flat as a
board. It Is far and away a better sail
than has ever been shown by an Ameri
can boat, and If tbe Valkyrie falls to win
tbe cup the fault wilt lie below decks and
not aloft.
Going down tbe main channel both yachts
were saluted by passing steamers and tugs.
The Valkyrie followed the Defender out
the Swash Channel and shook out her jib
after passing Romer Beacon.
THE YACHT FLEET.
On the Valkyrie were Lord Dunraven,
his two daughters. Lady Rachel and Lady
Aileen Wyndham-Quln, Arthur Glennie,
H. Maitland Kersey and Sauniaker Ratsey.
Mr. Joseph K. Buck, of the An-erica's cup
committee, was on board as the represent

Royal Fbelps Carroll's Navahoe, tho
winner of many trophies on both sides of

As the boatB came scurrying by Sandy

gay with burgees, flags and bunting; the
big whllo steamboats, bedecked with long
streamers fore and aft;bandsorae schooner
