continues with the story Of the first
attempt 20 take Barrundia at Cham
perico, which failed because Cap

| Captain Pitts 10 deliver up Bar
rundia while in Cumperica, and
asking Minister Miner b d.
rect Pitts 10 give up his passenger
upon the arrival Of the Acapulco at
San Jose.
Mizuer sent no immediate writ
ten reply to this letter, but called
upon the Guatemalan minister OF
foreign affairs at the government
palace, and had a long interview
with that official. He told the
Guatemalan government that II
would be time enough TO give
A CATEGORICAL EEPLY
10 the letter when the acapulco
arrived at san Jose: He asked for q
fuller explsnation Of the reason why
Barrundia should be arrested, and
called attention TO the fact that
Guatemala was then under martial
law.
DIR. Auguiano assured Miner
that BarrIndia would have fair
trial and be Justly dealt with. He
was assured that the government OF
Guatemala lad no treacherous de-
! signs against the life OF Barrundia,
aud that they had no desire 10 put
him 10 death nor would they do 80.
"But. continued Senior Angui-
anO, ''you must know Mr.. Minister,
that Guatemala is sore beset with
enemies on all sides just now, and
she must do oil che can b protect
herself against them. Barrundia il
an enemy Of his own country, and
this government would fail in its
duty were IL IN allow him 10 cen
tinHs his Vaccinations against
Guaterisla, while. In their power to
prevent IL. The United States have
been doing all they can 10 preserve
peace in Central America, AMI IL
hariiy seems probable that they
viii allow that peace TO become
again ieoplrdizsi by allowing Bar
rundia 10 escape 10y Obstructing our
efforts TO protect ourselves"
