The National Republican., 1885-11-17

during Mr.. Bokor's ineunbeney is very
mysterious and pWldous.
But tho most shameful aud disgracing
part which he played 10 his conduct during
the time Of Consul General Goodenow,
whom he led astray and exposed TO the
scotn Of the police authorities Of this city.
IL is, ] think, improper 10 relate here all
the satanic aud very d5based work of this
Mr. Gargiulo; but | um ready TO relate the
facts in detail and speak out the truth,
however bitter u be- whenever called upon
There is no question whatever In which
our interests have not suffered by the pres
enCc In our legation here and the poisonous
influence Of this man, rs he Is always double
minded aud acts with duplicity and against
the interests of the American citizens.
can mention several important affairs in
which his action was tratorous, leading
astray both our diplomatic aud CON
sular officers. / limit myself, however,
for the present 10 warning all concerned,
and particularly our government, in regard
to this great question: mean the prOtec-
tiOn Of American citizens, especially those
naturali2ed. ] am convinced that his
double.dealng is to the highest degree
preiudiclal to American interests, as he
does not hesitate to onnive with our an
tagonists IN order 10 satisfy his plotting
inclinatlons and assu re TO himself the posi-
tion which he so unworthily holds owing
to the silence Of those Interested

| stared at him, aud would have given him
a good lesson which his audaclous shame
lessness deserved had not my presence In
the United states legation prevented me
from doing ANYTHING that would expose the
honor Of my country and the dignity of its
representative.
His object, asst can easily be understood,
Is to diminish to the smallest diameter pos
sible the CircleOf the influence of our lepa-
tion, in order to transform the office he oc-
cupies into sinecure, allowing himself all
the time and ease to look after
his own affairs and draw only his
salary. From what he said to me
and to others, and the manner In which
he has treated me, shows evidently that he
has no sympathy whatever for our nation,
and his aim and sole purpose in holding
the position in the legation il his pecuniary
greed
The question OF the protection OF the per-
sons and interests Of American citizens de-
serves the greatest attention on the part Of
our government, and should this man be
allowed to play the part which he has done
until now there is not the slightest doubt
but that our most vital interests will be be-
trnyeu, and that our citizens will b0 thrown
into the streets devoid Of any protection or
support, prey to their former despots or
pOtentatcs,
Time Is pressing, and very prompt and
energetic measures must be adopted by
those who are interested, in order to pre-
vent the long meditated catastrophe of for
saking our citizens interests in this corner
Of the world
The only possible remedy in this instance
would seem to be thorough inquiry into
the antecedents and conduct OF this gentle
man, as an examination of his arts would
be followed by complete knowledge by
the Department Of State of all the facts,
and Of his traitorous behavior, and would
consequently necessitate his immediate re-
movil from the United States legation.
But II is to be feared that this might not
have the desired result, and that much pre-
cious time would elapse before II would be
thoroughly attended to. Therefore, under
the present circumstances, only his imme
date removal from the official position
which he fills can be an efllcacious and
salutary means for purifying the Augean
stable into which this person has trans
formed the office of the dragoman Of the
United States legation.
