The president has this week once
more shown himself worthy Of being
at the head OF an administration that
believes It's first duty to be the protect
ion of American interest, abroad as
well as at home. There was no I'M
necessary fuss or buster about II, hut
as soon as the news was received mat

can citizen, and surrounded the resi-
dence of the u. S. minister to that
country with an armed guard. the pre-
sident directed the acting secretary Oh

citizens arrested, and the removal oil
the guard from around the U. ,. ie-

Baltimore for protection. There were
other intricate questions which arose
during the consideration of this matter
questions which have at various times
been the subject of important dipIo-
matte controversies between nations.
but the President said i'm effect: These

matte channels, what we must have at

in Chill. whatever the cost may be.

minister Egan communicated the Pre-
sidents vigorous and not to be mis-
understood language to the Junta, and
&c his demands were IA once acceded TO.
