 ANOTHER grand and beauti-
 full(?) illustration of how the Am
 erican flag protects" will be found
 in another part of this paper, under
 the significant caption of, "the
 murder of Barrundla." General
 Barrundia boarded the American
 ship Acapulco at a Mexican port,
 en route for Panama and as a pas
 senger under the United States flag
 was thereby entitled to all the pro-
 tection that flag is supposed to give but seldom if ever it doeS-to any one so credulous as to place
 confidence in it's protective attri
 butes. "The great mother-repub!ic
 of the north" as the United States
 is styled by all the petty South
 American republics, is base de-
 fusion and a fraud, in so far as protection is given by it, to any
 person either upon the high seas
 or upon foreign soil, and under it's
 boasted flag. What are the uses.
 pray, of our windy boasting of
 sixty-fve millions, and of our un-
 limited wealth, if we still continue in the same old rut, of permitting every insignificant rag-tag and bob tailed foreign power to insult with impunity our emblem of natiOnali- ty, and even to do murder within the very shadow of the Stars and Stripes? The officers of the two men-of-war, God save the mark, then lying in the Bay of San Jose de Guatamala, who sat there in differently sucking their thumbs, and within 100 yards of the Aca- pulco at the time the brutal and cowardly murder of Barrundia was being perpetrated, should be dis missed the service in deserved dis grace, as unworthy to be called men. Supposing they had no di- rect and positive "authorlty'' to in- terfere, does that fact justify their nonintervention when the flag is about to be trampled in the mire and its purity stained with the blood of murder? Are officers in command of our war-ships mere fgure-heads, or men devoid of com mon sense, and incapable of exer- cising ordinary judgment? In either case we think any man pos sessing one spark of manhood, would have interposed in this case even if only temporarily; and par ticularly man in command with | power to compel obedience, if only upon the authority" of common Out we say upon such | unmanly excuses, it makes one sick and disgusted with the whole lot of milk-sops, yclept officers of the United States Land and Naval forces" Any government refusing to uphold the acts of it's officers, that, under like circumstances, should be men enough to use their own discretion, such a government would be a disgrace 10 the civiliza- ton of the age and an officer act ing upon his town authority" that might be censured by his govern ment for so doing, would honor and the cause in which he 50 acted, by throwing his commis- |

The Murder of Barrundia.

"The Pacific Mail Steamer which arrived here today" says the New
 York correspondent of the San Francisco Examiner, of the 18th instant, brought particulars of the shooting of Barrundia. One of the eyewitnesses of the tragedy told the story to your correspondent. It appears that General Barrundia came on board at Acapulco, Mexi- co, understood to be on his way to San Salvador. He was attended by two persons as a body-guard, When the ship arrived at cham perico, Guatemala, the authorities there demanded that Barrundia be surrendered. Captain Pitts peremp- torily refused to do so. They with held the clearance papers for twen- ty-four hours, but finally allowed him to proceed.
 When the vessel arrived at San Jose two boat-lOads of soldiers were sent off from shore to see that no one without proper credentials should leave the vessel. Within pistol-shot of her were two United States gunboats. Captain Pitts had telegraphed their commanding officers from Champerico, request ing assistance, but the dispatch | had not been delivered. Now he made personal appeal for help. The response was that they could do nothing without an order from the Port Captain.
 AGAIN INVADED THE SHIP.
 Next day the ship was again in vaded by the Commandante with a special force of men and another boatload ot soldiers. The Gaute- malan commandante produced an order of arrest" signed by Ameri- can Minister Mizner, and made formal demand for the delivery of Barrundia. Then he directed that Ill cabin passengers be ordered below. When this order was exc ,uted they proceeded to Barrun- lia's room. When the room was cached Captain Pitts, after dep- leprecating the necessity of sur 'endering his passenger read the order for arrest. Barrundia had quietly met them at the door, but, tt once divining that all was over, cached into his room for revol- TOT, and, making the remark, "Very good" fired. The ball just missed Captain Pitts, who, together with he Guatemalan Commandante, an to his room, locked the door md hid under the bed, leaving the nan-hunting to the special officers. 3arrundia was short-sighted man, nd being very nervous was unable o do any damage, though he chased he men out into the saloon firing wildly. At last they dropped him, iddled with shot, on the hurricane . eek.

THE BRUTAL OFFICER.


 The brave commandante there upon came from his hiding-pla walked up to the dead man and fired bullet into his skull. The dead body was rolled up in piece of canvas and conveyed on shore in one of the boats, the other boat conveying the gallent perpetrators of the deed. With their revolvors openly displayed they made a de- tour around by the United States warship. AS they left the Acapul- co some smilingly waved their hands and one placed his thumb to his nose and extended his fingers in the well-known manner.
 "Still the incident was not over," said the gentleman who told the foregoing, 'the Guatemalans had to wipe their feet a little more on the suffering ship, and she was not allowed to proceed until the bag gage belonging to Barrundia was searched, presumably for evidence incriminating others. This was submitted to, and the American gunboats were still silent, not 100 yards away. Indeed, at the time of the tragedy an officer from one of them was on board the Acapul- co.
 Captain Pitts, it was generally held, was partly excusable for his action, seeing that he had applied in vain to the warships for assist ance and was confronted with the order from the American Minister.

his age at over sixty-fve years, and

the old engineer came into this world,
his birthplace being in the then wild

alive. The next was aconite root, of
which the parasite was quite different.
Nux vomica and cantharides were the
remaining specimens. With the last

possible that washing hard substances
