~ Then it will frisk about and try to in

TIE BlRRCNDIA AFFAIR.

The Barrundia affair must be discussed with
reserve in the absence of Minister Miners
Official explanations to the State Department.
As the details of this shocking scene on an
American steamer are related by eyc-witnesses
from the Isthmus there seems to be no Just
cause for criticising the conduct Of either
CAPTAIN Pitts or the Minister. The action Of
tho naval commanders of tho TheGs and
Ranger also appears to have been proper under
the circumstances, unless 1t can be established
that Captain Pitts's request for protection from
q file of marines was refused. This seems to
be the only ground on which criticism can be
based. If Captain Pitts, experimenting trouble
and blOOdshed from the surrender OF General
l,arrundia, solicited from the commander Of
tho Ranger the assistance Of a guard OF ma
rincs that officer was most relniss in his duties
if he declined to accrde to the request. This
charge ought to be thoroughly Investigated by
the Navy Department.
Tho determining issue OF international law
in this case is the generally recognized pnn-
ciple that merchant vessels are subject to pO-
lice law in a foreign port. General Barrundia
was a passenger by Pacific Mail steamer from
Mexican port to Panama. When the vessel
arrived at ChampericO his surrender was de-
mandcd by the Guatemalan authorities. Cap
tain Pitts refused to give mp bis passenger, and
teleeraphed to the American Minister for in
structions. The ship was allowed to proceed
to the next G,,atemalan port, San Jose, where
the surrender Of the General was again de-
manded. The American Minister did not or.
der the arrest. az has been enormously report
ed, but in response to Captain Pitts's request
for instructions informed him that under the
law Of nations IL was bis duty to surrender the
passenger. There can 10 10 doubt xespeeHpl
