Captain Jnliuaoii I'phrlil for Miirreiuler lug Kieta'a Lieutenant, Sau Frauoisoo, Sept 12. Iu regard to the surrender of Florencio liusta- mento, one of Autouio Ezeta'a lieuten ant s, whom the United States refused to give up to President Ouitorroz, of Sun Salvudor, by the steamer City of Sydney, to the Salvadorean authorities at La Libortud, Alexander Center, local ageut of tho Pacific Mail Steamship Company, iu an interview today upheld tho conduct of Captain Johuaoii. Cen ter said that Johusou ditl uot surrender UuHtiimcute uutil forced to do ao by the authorities at La Libcrtud. Ho con sidered it a question of international law to be solved by the authorities at Wasliiugtou. United States District Attoruny Footo aaid that while the Hteumship company could uot be held responsible for the surrender, no forcigu power hud any right to go upon a veaael fly ing tho American flag and take uwuy any ponton for a political otTcuse with out that persou'a consent Wheu a person is ou shipboard under tho Amer ica u flag, theoretically, he is ou Amer ican soil. Foote continued: "Tho proper course i through dip lomacy. It would be the buttiuctts of tlie Atiioricuu minister at San Salvador to stay uuy extvution of tho prisoner llustameiite uutil the Uuitod States government could investigate the mat ter and ace whether auy treaty obliga tions had becu violated. It waa for re fusing to interfere iu the liarrundia case that Limning 11. Mistier was re moved from the office of miniater. liar ruutlia was taken from au Americau ship and shot, and Minister Mixticr did not interfere to protect him." General Antonio Kneta is little con cerned about the fate of llustameiite. Facta docs uot think that Uuatamouto will be harshly treated, bccaittto of his former friendship with Ouitorrcx, but even if "the monkey," a the captured exile was kuowu, is put away iu his hole iu the ground forever, Kzota does uot think it will matter much after all.

CENTRAL AMERICAN UNION. Tba Claim Hastened by Kngland's Artlon at Coiiuto. New York, Bept 12. Further par ticular of the latest movement for Ceutral American Union have been ob tained from Honor Joae de Uomei, the Nicaraguan itatesman, who, a the special minister from the presideut of Nicaragua to the Central American states, conducted the preliminary nego tiation which lead to the understand ing now arrived at Honor Gome ar rived iu New York several day ago. From bore he will go to Washington iu a few day to pay hi reajiect to the Nicaraguan minister. He say that be ia iu the United State solely on private business. In au iuterview he said: "The confederated arrangement to which Nicaragua, Salvador aud Hon duras have just committed themselves, aud which it is hoped Ouatemula aud Costa Kica will also assent to," said Honor Homes, "1 primarily iu the in terest of niaiutaiuing peace throughout Central America, and promoting civili zation and progress iu the fivo repub lic. Tbe substantial aud intelligent citizen iu all these countries are heurtily sick of revolution, which have been so frequent in the past aud have retarded devlopment, wasted our resource ond discredited u iu the eye of the world. Everybody who hu vis ited Ceutral America, or made a study of the couditious, know thut our is materially, the globe, which ought to compare favorably with auy other for populutiou, prosperity aud advance ment Hut the populutiou of the whole of Ceutral America i not much iu ex cess of 13,000,000, iucludiug natives uud other inferior races; and it back wardness is lamentable iu vurious ma terial respect. "Hut what hastened the agreement for union aud wa probably the deter mining factor iu bringing it to pus at this time wa the arbitrary action of England iu the Corinto uffuir several months ago. That wa a striking oh joct lesson of the woakuess of the Cen tral American state wheu confronted by foreign uggressiou; aud the union for defense which we ore now inaugur ating is the direct outgrowth of it. Last year I wa scut by tho president of Nicaragua a a special minister to the Central American republic to pre sent to their governments propositions in behalf of a treaty of union. I re ceived fair encouragement, but before my mission was completed, the events growing out of England's claim ou Nicurugua transpired, aud I was um moucd liome. Presiileut Zeluya there upon decided that the time was ripe for immediate action, and without wait ing for the result of my negotiations to devloie in the ordinary course, he is sued uu invitation to all the Central American presidents to moot at Amal pu, the capital of Honduras. General Uonilla, presideut of Honduras, and General (luitorres, president of Salva dor, resjioudod favorably and the three presidents accordingly met iu confer ence at Amalpa in July. The result of their deliberations was the treaty, the details of which have already been printed." THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY. tllxrrvstlmn ut m I'rlent Krretitljr l(e turneil Prom MUlnrv Work. Baltimore, Sept II. Kev. Father Zeenu llaruum, who ha recently re turned from the interior of Alaska, where he spent four years iu missionary work umoug the natives, gave to the Ualtimore Suu au iuterview relating to the boundary dispute between the United States and (heat Britain. "The claim made by the British gov ernment at the iiiMtuucoof Cauadiiius," said he, "embraces a valuable strip of laud, a portion of which is the key, to u vast extent, to the interior of Alaska, ami which possesses rich mineral re sources. Another portiou would give them control of fine natural harbors, uud iu a third place they would give one of the most magiiiticeut scenic regions of the world, Glacier buy, which is uow beginning to bo visited by thousands of tourists from all over the world during the summer mouths. "Although the immense value of thi laud cannot lie accurately deter mined, a knowledge of it geographical position on the coast show that great commercial advantages should accrue in the future from its possession by this country. It is a long, narrow slice running the whole length of the uurrow circular district of Alaska that i nearest this country. It i most temperate iu climate, and the only port of the territory thut i settled by auy cousidcrublo uumbcr of white men. "One important effect of Groat lint- aiu'a claims, if they should bo al lowed, would be that Great Ilntum would have control of the route which is the key to the gold field ou the uorthwest corner of Alaska. These fields pan out about f 100,000 each year, but it ha been stated there are rich prospect there yet uuworkod, as well us other mineral resources which, wheu they become well kuowu, will likely cause considerable immigration there."
