Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, 1894, With the Annual Message of the President, Transmitted to Congress, December 3, 1894

Mr. Carlos Ezeta to Mr. Gresham.

[Telegram.]

Panama, June 15, 1894.

I implore your Government not to deliver my brother, Antonio, to the rebels of Salvador, who are only interested in assassinating him. Whatever promises they make I assure you they will kill him; all are personal enemies. In 1890 Ezeta conquered, captured them, and spared their lives. My brother could have taken another steamer, but believed he would have more protection under the starry flag of the great Republic. Is it possible that this is not so? Please reply.
