minister, who sent word TO the captain
that he could not lawfully refuse to de-
liver Barrundia. Tie captain then with
drew his resistance and Barrundia was
shot dead in his cabin. Whether he re-
sisted or not is a question. The Guate-
malan officers say he did, and with weap-
ons.
Claim on Uncle Sam.
Gen. Barrundia's family has made an
appeal to the American government which
either calls on the nited States to exact
pecuniary conside ration from Guate-
mala for Barrund ia'a death, or to resent
the alleged affront to the majesty of the
United States. The matter is under con-
sideration at the state department and
there is some difficulty as TO the meaning
of the appeal. If can't in the first of
these senses it would be impossible for the
president to demand a consolatum for the
widow and orphans unless he first decided
that the sovereignty Of the United States
had been invaded, and upon reaching that
decision the relations of the two powers
would assume so grave an aspect that
merely personal interests would disappear
from the controversy If the cabegram
were meant as an invocation to the presi-
dent to perform his public duty to his own
country it would be an insult to the presi-
dent and to the country.
The Law in the Matter.
The right of tn Guatemalan authori-
ties forcibly to arrest Gen. Barrundia, even
on board an American merchant vessel,
is unquestioned, prov ded the facts are
as given the department of state. The
only theory that can be formed from the
information at hand is that Gen. Bar
rundia was justifiably slain in unlawfully
resisting legal arrest by competent
authority and according to due process
of law. Minister MINERS part is assumed
to have consisted in advising the master
of the American steamer that he could
neither be protected nor justified in resist
ing forcibly the arrest Of a fugitive from
justice, who had voluntarily brought
himself within the offended jurisdiction.
Pickiing a Rod for Themselves.
In the meantime the friends of Gen
Barrundia are making things warm for
themselves. The day tter Barrundia was
killed his eldest daughter tried to shoot
Minister Miner, and was only prevented
by the minister's GOODNESS. Now the friends
above mentioned are tn reatening the min
ister's life and his Office is constantly
guarded by police. He refuses to leave
the city, however, and will see the thing
through. II he should be killed the
United States would demand PREPARATION
from Guatemala, and that government
would undoubtedly take it out of the
hides of Barrundia's partisaus
