General Flores PiraticaI Expedition.
To the Editors Of The NJ Y Tribune:
A late number Of The Panama Star con-
tains an article in respect to the attempted expedition of
the baushed General Flores against the Republic of
Ecuador, and speaking of like attempt from Europe
by the same reckless advenurer in 1886 the writer of
the article attributes all the merit of its defeat the
authorities in England.

selfish passive indifference which certain people pro-
claim the sealed nrariabe policy Of the Government
Of Washington, it may perhaps not displease him to
know that the powerful finger of Brother Jonathan was
of avail in eectng the complete defeat of Gene
