Aspinwal, and sent with my dispatches to the Gov

day.
These letters surprised me with their tone Of auda-
city and falsifcation OF facts
Your rude discourtesy in speaking Of Capt Cha
tard, OF the Saratoga, pass without comment. The
mistake he made was In not driving you from Punta
Arenas when you landed there in defiance of his
guns.
In occupying the Point Arenas and assuming it
the headquarters Of the army of Nicaragus and you
its commanderinchief you and your associates being
awless adyenturers deceive one by their absurdty
Lieut.. Cley, of the Saratoga, informs me that be
was in uniform and you say be was in plain clothes
when you threatened TO shoot him. Whilst you use
such threats i may be Of some importance for yon

shall receive injury from your lawless violence the
penalty to you shall be tribute to humanity.

OF the laws Of the United States and greatly to its
dishonor, making war upon people with whom we
