In Brooklyn we have only heard of two new
cases since Thursday last These are both in the
family of Mr. John Bergen, Forty Grst street. Go.
wanus-his wife and child. This is dozen blocks
nearer the city proper in this direction than any
appear that the disease is gradually advancing to-
wards the city. Both of these patients were doing

ed IN other parts of Brooklyn.
AT elbow Hook, Bay Ridge and vicinity, we
nave no positive knowledge of any new cases
rumor has il that there have been several since
Friday. All the sick are doing WE'LL so far as

CASE OF DR.. LIVINGSTON IN CENTRAL ANgRI
cA.-Hon. John H. Wheeler has written letter To
Gen. Ramon Belose commander of the allied
forces of Guatemala and San Salvador, with re.
gard to the rumored purpose of executing DIR. Lii.
vingston an American citizen in Leon, through
retaliation for the execution of Saizar by Gen.
Walker. He says:
He is citizen of the United States No act Of
his has been charged, by which he is liable to any
molestaton, much less Imprisonment, by any DOW
er whatever, and now inform you as Commau-
der-in'Chief OF the forces of San Salvador and
Guatemala, that should any harm befall Dr. Liy
ingston, the Government of the United States
will promptly hold the Government of said States
to a severe responsibility. While my Govern
ment would rejoice in the prosperity and happi-
ness OF sister republics; and abstans from all in
terference i'll any shape with their internal con.
Germs, yet the President of the United States de-
cares that he will maintain sacred the rights that
belong to an American citizen, and that "any cit-
izen shall realize on every sea and every shore
where enterprise may seek protection of our flag
that American citizenship is an invioable panopo
ly for American rights" and that no Amer-
can wander SO far from home but the Chief Mag
strate of the Union will see that "no rude hand
of power or tyrannicsl passion is laid on him with
impunity. l cannot but believe that you will
see that DR.. Livingston is forthwith released.
The President of the United States has seen
with regret in the hostilities between Central
American States, departure from the laws of war
in force among civsed nations The party which
such barbarites forfeits its claim to all
sympathy from neutral Powers and xposes itself
to the enmity of those whose citizens are the in
nocent victims of savage cruelty.
Be assured, Sir, that if one hair of DIR. Living
ssons head is injured, his life taken or that of
any other innocent American citizen your Gov.
ernment and that of Guatemala will feel the force
of Power which, while it respects the rights of
other nations, will be ready and is able vndcate
its own honor and the lives and property of its
citizens. Faithfully, yours
JOHN H. WHEELER
