EZETA’S CAUSE LOST.

Defeat Forces the President of San Salvador to Resign. Panama, June 5. -The Star and Herald received a dispatch from San Salvador saying that in a battle at Santa Ana, May 24, the government troops under Gen. Antonio Ezeta were defeated, and Gen. Ezeta was killed. Six hundred soldiers also fell in the battle. Gen. Bolanos was wounded. President Ezeta has resigned in favor of Carlos Bonilla. A counter revolution is sure to break out, as Bonilla is not generally acceptable. Possibly Gen. Manuel Rivas may become president. Washington, June 6.—A dispatch received by the state department announces that the revolutionists in Salvador have triumphed completely and that President Ezeta has fled the country.
