Made Publfc-Hfs Ground of Justi-
hcation.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 26.-Lansing B.
Miner, ex- United States minister to Qua
termala, has decided to make public his
official defense in the Barrundia case. He
justifes this on the ground that Mr..
Blaine's letter dismissing him was given to
the press three weeks before it reached
him. His defense, in brief, is that the
Barrundia affair was a mere incident in
comparison with the settlement of the war
between Salvador and Guatemala, which
he, as dean of the diplomatic corps, brought
about on the very day Barrundia was
killed, and which required his whole at
| tention. Aside from this, however, he
| claims that his course was strictly in &C
| cordance with international law, as Bar.
| rundia was guilty of non-political as well
| as political crimes, and cites in justifica-
ton of his position the action of Secretary
Bayard in the Gomey case. He quotes
| President Harrison's message to the effect
that diplomacy should be frank and free
from intrigue, and says it would have been
intrigue to have abetted the captain OF
the steamer Acapulco in evading the inter.
national laws by preventing Barrundia's
arrest. He points out that on July las,
the authorities of Salvador were allowed
to arrest Senior Dslgado, minister of for
eien relations, on board the same vessel
Mr.. Miner says his course was approved
in writing by the entire diplomatic corp
in Central America, except the Mexican
minister, and concludes by submitting hi
