Sin Commander Hoins Of the United States navy, will
Immediately proceed in national ship San Juan dc Mica
ragua for the purpose in part indicated in my communi-
cation To you of the Sd instant.
The which has just reached here embarrasses the
government in indicating the which it will be
proper for him to pursue arriving at that place. It Is
said that the pretended political and civil authority at that
place dissolved Should this prove to be true there will
be organized body upon which demand for redress
ries insults be received But the individuals who
have participated III the ncon of the wrongs cannot es-
cape from responsibilities resulting from the conduct of the
late political organization at that place.
You instructed in my former letter to notify the
people of San Juau to repair the injury they have caused
to the Accessory Transit Company by withholding from it
the property which had been stolen and taken to San Juan
ana by protecting the persons VINO were gy OF te .e
ony II is hoped that the town will have adjusted that
matter to the entire satisfaction Of the company and IN
that way Commander Hons will be relieved from the dis
agreeable necessity of taking any action in regard to that
subject You will on the arrival of Commander Holns,
explain to him what has been done in that matter.
Mr.. Borand, minister to Central America has rep
resented to this government that while recently at San
juan he nsulsed by the authorities or people OF that
place An indgnity offered to the nation, as well as to
him individually cannot be permitted to pass unnotitcd
If done by order of the authorities of the place. they must
for il in their assumed political character Nothing
short Of apology for the outrage will save the place
from the nficton that such act justly merits 1t IS
expected that this apology will be promptly made and
satisfactory assurances given Commander Hollns of u-
ture good conduct towards the United States and public
funconaries who may in future be at that place
If the outrage committed by lawless individuals
clearly the duty of those who exercise the civil power at
San Juan to nhict upon them exemplary punishment
The neglect bring them to justice is assuming on the
part Of the nominal magistrates there the responsibility
for the acts of these individuals In such case not to
punish implied sanction of the acts of the ransgres
sors II is hoped that the authorities will be prepared to
satisfy Commander Hons that they have done what was
incumbent them in the way OF bringing the Offenders
to punishment
You will confer freely with Commander Holins, and
furnish him will all the information you possess in relation
to the condition of things at San Juan.
