elusive privilege of the ST. Juan.
A little flare up is also reported TO have
taken place between Mr.. Clayton, the Sc
cretary Of State, and the CHILEAN Ambassa-
dor. 1t appears that Mr.. Caravallo is en-
gagged in the prosecution Of a large claim
against a citizen Of Boston. on behalf Of
his government, and that he surrep'itious-
~ obtained FROM the State department a
paper which threw important light upon
the case, in the prosecution Of which he is
engaged. He obtained the paper from a
Clerk, who Mr.. Clayton Immediately dis
missed from office for the violation of off
cial confidence.
This however is small matter, and
there is no danger of collision Of ser-
Gus nature between the two nations. We
have that confidence in the President and
his Cabinet, that while they Will scrupul-
ously maintain the honor Of the country.
they will not ncedlessIy involve the coun-
try in war for ..Hght and trivial causes.

appoint to office. and what whic did he

But our neighbor says .'men were

dismissed from office, Or was it no,
