has, by his noninterference in politics, his courtc
GUS behaviour and his strict attention to the duties
OF his office, exalted the name OF his country
among the Spaniards naval offlcer by profess
sion he knows how TO exhibit the frankness OF mis-
calling; gentleman by education, he knows now
to extend his courtesy to all with whom he comes
into contact From residents In the city I heard
wondrous stories or his courageous conduct during
the fearful instruction OF lS69-wrapping his nag
men and children by tie thousand. placing them on
board American vessels in the harbor and keeping
them there at his own expense day after day. Going
