THE ACAPULCO MAssACRE--ANoTHER SIDE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
Your correspondent, 'lmpartiality,n has stated
what ne no doubt believes respecting Rev. NJ. N
Hutchinson and his connection with the fearful
and uncallcd Tor massacre at Acapulco, but am
happy to MORN MIN that there is another size
vouched for by Mr. Hutchinson himself, who is at
present IN New York. who has read the article
named. ana on his authority am enabled TO con-
tradlct many OF the charges made.
1t was not "a sudden outDurst OF wild rage" on
the part OF the assailanLs but deliberate attempt
to murder peaceable and uuofrending citizens.
Mr.. HUTCHINSON had not entered the MOTEL before
he heard threats against his lie, and IL was said
to one who had accompanied him from Mexico
City that had 1t been known that Mr.. Hutchinson
was near he would not have entered the city
alive. Again and again, during his soiourn In tho
place. he was urged by his friends not
to 90 TO the night service, and threats were
so rtfe that the Professionals went to their
| place OF meeting more tnan once under the inn
| pI ession that an attack would be made, and when
1t did come IL was apparent that IL was coolly
planned anu deliberately executed. For the first
time during his stay at Acapulco Mr.. Hutchinson
was Frustrated and prevented by sickness from
attending the chapel lie had met with the con-
Rrcgauon MI mt alter night Tor about Jour week ks
singing, praying and preaching. Alter the family
had gone to Inc service, the lights were ex-
ilnguisned and the barred. Mexican
lriend VINO was with him soon heard the sound oil
voices and an attempt TO enter the house. He

companions, VINO we're waiting ior them, and soon
! Afterwards they entered tue bulldog. Tney
marched up near to the pulpit, and while the con-
gregaton WAS engaged in prayer, tnelr leader cried
| out, "Death 10 the frotestants," and then began
tae Work OF slaughter. surely TINS was deliberate
| attempG 70 murder peaceaDe and unonendlng
| cltlzens, VINO nad met there simply Tor the wor-
| ship oil God In what tneg deem better way than
| wat Rome teaches. There are many ms takes
IN the arucle signed 'lnpartlaIty," ana they are
met with a denial by Mr. Hutchinson. He was
! not deceived by Mr.. Dlaz as 10 tue number OF
Protestsnts In Acapulco aod never stated so

| chapel had been sold ana Was used as a store

inson never spoke IN the streets against the cner
isAed bellel 0i the Catholics That Is not ms style

evening OF tue massacre, saying That the congre-
CATION was waiting Tor him; ne was then,
aLd mad beea Tor days, the guest .Dl MIR.
Diaz. MIR. Hutchinson had never SAID
that the savage and brutal attack the conare-
| gatlon was ~ cons piracy ofIntegent Catnoncs,u

There otner charges or nsinuations equally
groundess; but suppose he whoie were true, the
congregation was InJuring no one by their words.
Tue house they met IN was their own, Tor which
tney were paying rent 10 IT'S owner. Catholics
