Correspondence Of The Tribune. ~.
Genoa, March, 1888.
Before left New. York, saw in several OF the
papers severe reprimand of Commodore Nor
GAN for his management of the Tangler affair
Being myself deceived by those accounts, and
knowing, from having since had correct hls
tory of the whole matter, how erroneous they
were. give you brief statement, IN order to
correct. as far as possible, the opinion that has
gone abroad. From them it appeared that Mr..
CARTS life was threatened by the authorities of
Tanpicr,-that he was kept sort OF prisoner at
large and in this state Of anxiety wrote TO Com.
MORGAN for assistance, as II was very proper for
HIM 10 do.-that Com. MORGAN met his request
by most unnecessary and culpabe delay, which
increased his danger and exposed our government
~ still farther insult. This serious charge was
handled about from press to press, to the injury
of the reputation of one of the best and modest
Commanders in our Navy. If the dispatches oil
Commodore MORGAN had been published, they
would have been in themselves full and COM
n,ete refutaton of these charges. But III thus, as
in NIL other similar cases. the dispatches are buried
in the Cabinet, while the floating rumors o! the
Souadron. which are the merest gossip IN the
world are made the official documents for the
People.
In this case the facts are widely diiicront from
those reports which have reached the American
Press In the first place, with regard to Alr CARR
nothing can be more untrue than that ms HE
was IN danger, or that Com. MORGAN manifested
the least dlatorness IN aftording hum all the
necessary and proper relief. The truth Is, MIR.
CARR. from some cause or other, was p!qued with
The Governor of the town, and the whole subse-
quent difficulty grew on. OF thus personal feeling.
Now would not injure MIR. CARR, and vet
must say that he never should have carried ms
private feelings into his official acts. Beng re-
called BY his Government, he wrote 10 the Elm
peror al Fee, informing him of MS recall, and
saving what was not true) that II was 10 ill
another Consulate. The letter containing this
last untruth Mr. CARR did not give TO Com.
MORGAN when he surrendered his papers, but II
was afterward shown 10 HIM BY the Emperor IN
their negotiations. The Emperors answer TO
this letter was couched III the most courteous
language, and every facility Offered for has de-
parture. This letter Mr.. CARR showed 10 the
Lieutenant Governor, who replied IN the same
petite and tiattering manner, but requested hun
to show it 10 the First Administrator and Captain
OF the Port The same answer was every where
given. and vet Mr.. CARR knew there woad be
difficulty in getting away. This difficulty, too,
he knew he could remove IL a few hours, and
ye, it was allowed to remain and breed farther
trouble This was an omission on ins part 10
accuaint the Bashaw of his departure, and re
ceive from him the proper and customary pass
ports. The only excuse MIR. CARR can offer for
This neelec, is, that the Bashaw was about thirty
mile. from town, and he thought II the business
of the lieutenant Governor 10 arrange the affair,
If j, needed arranging. This all may be true !;
but If Mr.. CARR knew, as he did know, the
Governors feelings, he WAS bound TO put HIM
self TO a little troehle TO manifest the common
courtesy, and escape collision with the authori,
ties. While all this interchange OF compliments
was going on between Mr.. CARE and the authorl-
ties Of the town, an order forbddng his departure
was living in the hands of the proper officers TO exc
cute It. Under these circumstances, ana knowing
the Governor felt insul,ed, Mr.. Ca&R attempted to
leave. But, as he approached The wharf, he was
me, BY an officer of the Port and ordered back on
this. Mr. Carr drew his sword or some siml-
lar weapon, to force his passage when the Consuis
who accon,panied him told hun to deslst, saying
1hat enough was done-the iasul. to our Govern
,nent was given, &c. sc. AT that moment
