They offered us hospitality, and they gave us a

We have suffered but for the sake of not causing
embarrassment, we have been silent. They begged
us to have confidence: We have shown It, they
begged us to wait We have waited long.
They said to u.s. it is only until Austria shall sue

They begged us to wait one year, reckoning from
the day on which we first placed our feet upon Otto

the interior was decreed. Again waited patient

longer the alers of AUSTRIA and they permitted us
to hope that the anniversary of our arrival at
Kutahia. our liberty would be restored to us.
Well, this anniversary has arrived. Let us see
what it has brought us.
A poor Hungarian, Major Domotor preferring, as
DO exile death to servude. destitute of all
Of subsistence, had come eight months before
TO ask my advice and some assistance to go to Bel
grade order to send Tor his wife thther who was
living at Peterwarden
1t q matter of simple humanity. | gave him
slight assistance, and he departed for Belgrade.
When he arrived there, he had been already antici-
pated by the accusations of Austria who sees every
where my hand in the weI-founded discomfort other
oppressed people, and who as her whole life is con-
spiracy against God and humanity, finds conspiracy
in everything. Austria then anticipated him, by
the lying accusation of being the bearer of proclama
lions from ME to the Hungarian nation
The accusation was false. | affirm it on my hon
or. Nevertheless, the faith of Spies without honor
character Austria caused to be arrested at Sem
lin his poor wife, her way to join her exiled hus-
band and the magnary proclamation demanded as
the price of her liberty.
Domotor justified himself before the Servan gov
eminent in striking manner, that that govern
ment although only feeble vassal of the powerful
Ottoman empire found sufficient strength in the JUS
tice of his cause to protect him.
Austria obliged to loose her hold. The poor
wife was permitted to join her husband but upon
condition that Domotor should Immediately leave
Belgrade.
This poor woman is creditor of Austria Her
entire heritage, the money of the orphan, is in the
hands of Austria not by confscation but in trust
Domotor resisted the insolent demands of the Aus
TRAN Consul until the debt due to his wife should
be paid.
This is his crime He dared to demand the re-
turn of the poor orphans heritage.
The Servian government continued generously tc
support and protect him for eight months.
But as the Austrian Consul persisted in his perse
cution. and the Dragoman Of the Pachalik of Bel
grade (who is rather officer of Austria than o.
the Sublime Porte made common cause with the
Consul the Servian government was at length obliged
to remove him from Belgrade but his cause was
SO ust that our government even then gave him per
mission to reside at Kraguj avaer and continued it,
protection to enable him to follow up his :udicia
dispute with Austria.
1t was under such circumstances that Major Do
motor seeing the commercial enterprise which he
had undertaken in order to support himself and hi:
wife, ruined by this removal and finding it imposs
BILE to provide for the existence of his wife in the city
in which a residence offered to him, was obliged
to leave her without money, exposed to die of hun
ger, to come again to ask my assistance and advice
He came furnished with regular passports.
He was upon the point of departure when, on the
anniversary itself of our detention at Kutahia an
order suddenly arrived from the Grand Vizier that
he also should be detained
