In the alteration with the police officer, after
he Ind been made aware that he was in the
Consulate, Mr.. Rand, Consular Secretary, was
kaccked down, and would have been killed if
Mrs. Treyitt had not placed herself before him
and dared them TO strike her. In the strug-
gle, the Consul succeeded in disarming the
officer, and this, with a revolver at his head,
was what brought him to terms finally.
The next day a party of 80 men went to cap
ture the parties concealed, and politely request
ed the Consul to walk out with his family, in
order that the house might be searched, and if
necessary burned down, for the sake of the
prisoners. Mr.. Trevitt then surrendered under
protest, and left the premises, where six young
men were shortly afterward found and taken
prisoners.
There is a variety of opinions as to the pro-
priety Of the conduct both of the Consul and
the authorities; but the fact is, that the In
tendente, who denies the right of the Ameri-
can Consul to give protection, himself sought
refuge, with his family, in the house of the
Spanish Consul during the hottest part of the
tumult.
Mr.. T%revitt's exequator was yesterday can
celled by this Government, and it is said that
an action will be entered against him for resist.
ance to the constituted authorities.

of Mr.. Trevitt, and that his house was sur
rounded by soldiers, until he could communi-

as you see fit. A United States Consul ought
to know his duties" The Conercio of Val
paraiso says: "The Government being inform.
ed that several of the instigators of the move
ment of the 18th were hid in a garden of the
house of the Venegas, sent a Captain and some
armed police to inquire into the truth of the
matter. The Captain, seeing young Riobo in
a balcony overlooking the garden, and COM
pletely in view of the public, approached it,
and said: Friend, do you know l have come
to take you? Very well,' answered Riobo, Sit
the lady of the house consents to it, The Ia
dy, Mrs. Trevitt, with a flag in her hand, APP
peared upon the staircase as the Captain en-
tered, and asked: What do you want, Sir, in
the house Of the American Consul? The Cap
tain replied: Sonora, / do not know in whose
house I am, but / have orders to arrest every
individual who is compromised in the last re-
volt, and as 1 know Senior Riobo to be one of
these, I must arrest him. Il cannot give him
up said the lady, without the consent of my
husband. Will you permit me to send for
him? Without doubt, Sonora, send for him.
"Whilst waiting for the Consul" continues
the Concrete, "Riobo put some questions to
the Captain of Police. who, being in doubt how
to act, sent to the Intendente, asking his d.
~rections how to act. The Intendente respond
ed by ordering him to leave the house of the
Consul Immediately.
In this state of things the Consul arrived in
a very excited state, and was stopped at the
entrance By the soldiers, but was adn.itted BY
order of the Captain. The Consul approached
the officer, seeking to take from him his sword,
which he res ,sted. The son of the Consul
then ran for a revolver, which the Consul pre-
scented at the breast of the official, ordering
him to deliver up his sword. The soldiers,
seeing this, came up to defend him, but in Or
der to avoid trouble, they were promised an
explanation. The captain and the Consul re-
tired to a room. when the latter. became salts
fed that the officer had no intention to proceed
with violence; but, on the contrary, wished to
explain matters. At this moment another
American presented himself at the door, asking
if he could enter, but accompanying his re-
quest with some imprudence, at which the SOL
diers resisted his entrance because they had
not the permission of their chief; but he was
nevertheless admitted by order of the captain.
The result finally was th.t the Consul, as well
as his wife and others i'll the house were all sat
listed, without any more dissagreeable circum-
stances occurring In proof Of the prudence
and gentlemanly conduct of The captain, he
was invited to take a glass of sherry in honor
of the moral and valorous police guard"
