CENTRAL AMERICA

Outrage in San Jose-The British Vice
Consul Receives Two Hundred Lashes
by Order of the Military Comman.
dante-The American Consul Protests,
and is Threatened with the same
Treatment-Th Consul is Rescued
The CommanGante Escapes and is
Shot.
PANAMA, May 3.-A correspondent, writ
lug from San Jose, Guatamala, under date
of the twenty-ffth ultimo, describes a dia-
bOlical outrage, committed at that port on
British subject, by Colonel Gonzales,
military commandants there. Soon after
the arrival at San Jose of the steamship
Arizona, en- route from San Francisco to
Panama, it was whispered about that Mr..
Moncreif, agent of the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company, and John Magee, her Bri.
tannic majestys vice consul, had been ar
rested by order of the commandante, and
that Magee was sentenced to receive 400
lashes at P. NJ.
Considering the position of Magee the
statement was scarcely credited. Moncreif
was released and allowed to 90 on board
the steamer. Magee being unable to walk
down to the Mole, where said commandante
wanted to see him, an armed guard was
sent to bring him dead or alive. When be
was brought into the presence of Gonzales
he was only prevented from shooting Magee
He then struck him with the butt of his
revolver, and ordered him to be taken and
put in confinement until ne recovered, so
he could administer the 400 lashes which he
had threatened. As her Britannia majesty's
vice consul, Magee, invoked the protection
of bis flag, but without avail, Mr.. James,
consular agent of the United States, pre-
pared a protest, in the name of his govern
ment, and presented it Just as Gonzales
was about to commence the hogging of
Magee.
The commandante became furious, and
threatened to serve James and every for.
eigner as he was going to do Magee. He
was equally deaf to the surgeon of the port,
who said 400 lashes would kill Magee. Let
him die, then, was the reply vOnchsafed.
Magee was then partially stripped and laid
On the floor. Three men were directed TO
sit over his head and shoulders and four
| over his feet with man holding each arm.
The fOgging was done by four soldiers, re-
lieving each other after every fifty lashes,
the commandante keeping tally.
By the time 200 lashes had been given Ma
gee was insensible. An order was given to
carry him to an adjoining room there to rest
so as to be ready to receive the other 200
| lashes the next morning, and then be shot af-
| terward. Before this was done Gonzales put
guard around the telegraph office and pre-
vented messages being sent to the capital.
| The night was spent in pilaging Magee's
| quarters and in drunken orgies.
Mr. M0ncrief at once sent OF o courier to
the capital, who autographed his message
nom the first station he came to, which

From Cameron Parish.
GRANn CurNrrpE MAY 8

EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
Cameron parish has not escaped the lot
of her sisters on the Mississippi. The
water has been higher than ever before,
since the knowledge of the oldest inhab-
liant. The gates of heaven were let loose
upon us, and all the streams, creeks and
bayous from the whole Attakapas country
poured in at the same time, and as we have
but one small outlet to the sea-the Mer-
mentau river-the consequence is that we
up our heads, although many OF US have to
go to our fields in skiffs, and we calculate
to meet the fourteen and half mill tax
due the State, and an extra parish tax for
the purpose of building courthouse. Ours
was destroyed by an incendiary last win
ter. Our crops tout of the water are very
promising.
Yours, respectfully. J. 3. +.

In all places in China you may see a
string Of coolies rushing through the sire is
carrying loads Of money. There is not q
policeman to be seen, except occasionally
at the gates or in time of trouble You
may see shrof with a lot Of dollars in a
fat tray, examining them intently US they
pass, click, over his thumb sometimes a
posse Of oilers consisting Of ehair-bearers,
coolies, cooks and servants, all looking on.
There does not seem to be even the sus-
picion that anyone might attempt to kick
the tray over and bolt with what he could
get in the scramble, Why, even in that
nest Of iuiquity, Hong Kong, you may SEQ

dollars that are being paid to them, aud
some Of the greatest scoundfels unhanged
passing constantly: perhaps they think
the men in the streets would most likely
be honest enough to catch them, but it is
rather doubtful if they dare. Money and
yaluablcs are exposed in way that would
never be dreamed of in England and the
similarity of dress, the narrowness and
crowded state of the streets in China, all
would aid in the escape of robber.-
