WE have been favored with copy Of 4
letter from Gen. EATON, dated at Crana
Cairo. Dec. IS, 1904. Thin letter contains 4
detailed katenent Of an examination ofa levin,
merchant. fefpetiing the hifory Of David Va.
Ienzin, who in the fanmer Of 1903. wss cap
sured in the Mediterranean, by an American
fr;gatc. and brought 20 this country - ssaTripol-
itsn prifoner and who died at Wilmington the
following winter. The teeimony of this Jew
in merchsn, lsIly correfponds with the sccount
which the prifoner gave Of himieIf TO the Ame-
ricsn government. We hope foou to be per-
miitcd TO pnblifh this intereising farement, TO-
sether with other documents Rejecting the un-
fortunate Valenzin.
The letter Of Gen. Eaton cIofes wifh the
following general remalks on the phyGcsl. mo-
