Correspondence OF The Panama Star.
VALPARAISO, March l5 1880
Since my last there has been conflict between the
authorities Of this place and the tnted States Consul
Several Of the principal actors in the outbreak the
gsth ult took refuge in the Consus house, and were
there several days without the lntendene taking any
apparent notice Of the fact or even 20 much a. request
ing the delivery Of the parties in question: Suddenly,
however in the absence of the Consul his private resi-
dence was invaded by an armed body OF police whose
object to arrest the revouilOnss, and, If neces
sHry 10 resort To extreme measures III so DONG As
thew were not furnished with any order IN writing
from the Governor, the Consuis lady, who was
alone IN the house refused to allow the building to be
searched, and the privacy of her own apartments Vlo-
lated in the absence of her husband. The police OFF,
GER il appears, behaved in very ungentlemanly
manner and was becoming most cOlent in his con-
duet when fortunately Mr.. Trevitt arrived and with
some difficulty succeeded in entering the Consulate
Upon finding that the officer wa- the bearer of no wri-
ten request for the delivery of the refugees, he mme-
distely ordered him to leave the premises; he then
bcecfp that the consul would allow him 20 remain
Ill he could get more positive Instructions from the
intendeute. This granted, and the answer sent
back was that the officer should retire Immediately
from the house and beg Mrs. Treyitts pardon for the
intrusion, which done. The affair was then stated
to be all mistaket had never been the intention Ia
search the Consuls house; but THIS was very hmsy
excuse for previous 10 entering, which done
from the rear OF the premises all the TO the
locality were guarded and allowed TO pass. In
the alteration with the police officer, after he had
been made aware that he in the Consulate, Mr..
Rand Consular Secretary was knocked down, and
would have been killed if Mrs. Treyitt had rot placed
herself before him and dared them to strike her. Ia
the struggle the Consul succeeded in dsarning the
officer, ara this, with revolver at his head was
what brought him To terms finally.
The next day party Of 81 men went to capture the
the parties concealed and politely requested the Con
su 10 walk out with his family, in order that the
house might De searched, and, II necessary, burned
down for the sake OF the prisoners Mr. TrcSt then
surrendered under protest, aud left the premises,
where -i1 young men were shortly sfterward found
and taken prisoners.
There il variety 81 opinions to the propre'y Of
the conduct both Of the Consul and the suthOrties;
but the fact is that the Intendence, who denies the
right of the American Consul 10 give protection, him
rf sought refuge with his family in the house Of the
Spanish Consul during the hottest part Of the tumult.
Mr. Treyitts eIcquHtur Wa yesterday cancelled by
ihi. Government aud il is said TINT sn notion viii be
entered Against him ior resistance TO the constituted
1uihor'ies.
