insult to Injury in the presence Of British
vessel of war, whose comm ander Impairment
ly interfarsd In such circumstances, could
Comm ander Hollins have retired without br ng-
ing them toterms or abating tho nuisance!
The rights of a company, composed of c'ti-
Gems of the c ed Ststes-a company that has
saved millions of dollars to the people of the
United States by successful competition with
the Panama route, had been repeatedly invaded
and its property destroyed by a self oonstitu-
ted and irresponsible Government, exercising
nation al rerogatives without national respon-
sibility
"The Government of the United States bad
been insulted in the person of it's ministers,
and its demands for redress had been treated
with contempt by the same laWless and
irresponsible community before Commander
Hollins fred shot into the town. The homi-
eide, committed by Capt. Smith, whether justi-
fable or not, has nothing to do with the ques-
ton 1t was committed within the Territory
of Nicaragua at point where the so-called
authorities of San Juan del Norte alias Grey
town, have no more jurisdiction than they have
over the city of New York. '-,..'s-a7e ..<
ct is said that portion of those people are
engaged in rebuilding the town under the pro.
lection Of the same British vessel that was
present at the bombardment, and that Captain
Jolly has appointed Tim Martin, the ring
leatler of all the outrages above detailed, mill
tary Governor of the town. Ifcmerchantsa and
traders continue to send and deposit goods
there in such circumstances, let them run the
risk if they choose. Without indemnity for the
past and security for the future, the admins
tration will surely not allew the offenders to
rebuild that town under British protection and
with their ringleader as Governor"
