other Power, as the acts of Segovia are illegal, con
tIsry 70 national law and national facts, as well
bear the light OF investigation. To show
now THIS monster dares, with his strength and the pro-
tec.ing guns Of his nation, to constitute himself
Chief OF Polce and usurp the power of the Judiciary
as well as the executive functions OF the President with
psut and caumny give the following case Of current
few days since Mr. Galvan the fearless and intel.
Esent editor of the Dtarto del G,osvno, published an
edora exposing 10 the people the frauds in of
perpetraton upon their rights by the Spanish Consul &C.
nera-the insults and threats that he had presumed TO
and Senate TO adopt his demands basis OF legsla
ton and executive actlon-subversve OF the organic
functions Of the republic aud the freedom Of the people,
and in violation Of all law or precedent towards govern
ment recognized by the civilized world In its nation
atty The various working forms assumed by Segovia,
for the consummaton of his vany clearly exposed.
For this article Mr. Galyan was, the following day way
laid and assaulted by party OF negroes the created
official subjects OF Segova and Spain and 10 his
lie compelled 70 use his pistol One Of his assail
ants fell having received shot through the body, and
be now lies in critical condition.
Mr. Gavan has disappeared knowing that Segovia was
for the moment superior to law aad that he you'd he
sacrifced The Spanish Don has taken command OF hs
police forces in the pursuit-that is he takes guard
from the marines Of one OF the Spnsh vessels OF war TO
hunt him up, aided by his matrcuated tools and myr
mdoms and found he - be tried by the loca negro
court Of his construction from the material II is
supposed that the fugitive from this pack ed tribunal Of
Elliott lying outside and bound 10 Boston Segova
has forbid the vessel from going 10 until he has
guards to ascertain that Gavan s board He has
sent orders to the Captain Of the schooner that he pre-
sumes to get up his anchor for the purpose Of going 70
sea he will be fired upon by the Spanish vessels Of
war that command him with their guns. The United
states Commercial Agent, Mr. elliott mas instructed the
Captain OF the schooner TO pay no attention whatever
the orders the threats of the Spanish Consul and not
under any circumstances to permit the search OF his
sci by this seconsttuted police Off er and that wher
ready under the usual from the proper autho
rty Of the customs to go tofea II he should be fired
into his vessel will be abandoned OF course and some

events-not San OF course for they never have paid
for anything II would not be possible for Mr.
Gavan TO obtain justice fron this tribunal, and
against Segcvia this government has not the power
protect him from their purpose Of murder; and his only
faud her.
The cure OF these accumulated evils under the
mnistrslon of corrupt aud naigant foreign agent is
simple and certain, and shall be enabled to go on
again In peace and prosperity if the United States will
send vessels Of war into these waters II compelled
10 reterae the important fact vital 10 Dominican free
