RzrTER oENsuRED.
secretary Tracy Blsmes Him for His
Inaction.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 7-Secrstary z Tracy
has addressed q letter of unqualified consure
TO Commander George c. Reiter, who COM
manded the naval vessels Ranger and Thetis,
lying at San Jose de Guatemala when Gen
Barrundia was killed on board the Pacific
mail steamship Acapulco. The lsttsr is very
long. over z, 900 words, and is from beginning
TO end q merciess criticism and censure OF
Commander Reiter's action. An extract
will illustrate its tenor.
The secretary says: sin the opinion of
the department your conduct upon your
own showing is deserving Of unqualified
censure. Ia your situation, in command OF
force OF public vessels Of the United
States, In territory which, If not at that
moment at war, had recently bean a scene
Of hestilities as well as Of civil disturbances,
it was your duty 70 watch with most active
solicitude over the interests OF your
country in that quarter. aud
the moment that the approach OF the
Acapulco, a steamer bearing the American
hsg,' was known so you, you should have
taken every step legally Ia your power to
give countenauce and support to her
captain and protection TO all persons on
board, especially when you knew that their
safety was likely to be menaced. Instead
OF this, in your apparent endeavor to escape
responsibility, you remained 80 completely
passive that, as far as events on board the
Acapulco were concerned, you and your
vessels might as well have besn on the other
side of the ocean.
THE GUARANTEE OF PROTECTION.
1T was within your legitimate power, as
it was your imperative duty, to execute by
means legally at your command, Ruaran-
tee of protection which the United States
gives to all vessels under its flag. Your
ships were on the spot. You had full
knowledge OF Gen. Barrundia's approach.
You were informed of the intention to seize
him as q political offender. He was not a
fugitive from the territory of Guatemala
seeking to escape from territorial jurisd ic-
tion. Neither was he conspirator attempt
ing to return to bis country TO foment a
revolution. He was passenger on board an
American ship, which he had joined in
Mexico, with a destination for Panama
and he had thus, without your interven-
tion and outside of local jurisdiction, OBJ
tained a place under the flag and protection
of the United States. In this situation you
found him. His safety was threatened. y I"
by remaining inactive you neglected
your obvious duty and placed your govern-
ment in the position of renouncing those
who had sheltered themselves under its flag.
Even after the arrival Of tine Acapulco
In port your power of discretionary action
was by no means taken away

WASHINGTON, Jan. THE Vice Presi-
dent has been riticised in some quarters on
account of his absence from the chair at
the time Mr.. Stewart made his motion to
take up the financial bill The facts are
that before he left the chair, aS usual,
for his lunch, after the morning busiI
ness had been concluded, Mr.. George
had been recognized to continue an unf l-
ished speech on the election bill, aud had
commenced his speech on that bill with a
large number of books on his desk, appar-
emily for reference. The Vice President
had not the most remote idea that any
other business would be considered during
the day.
A CUSToA.
1t is customary wi h any presiding officer.
and considered matter Of courtesy, to ask
senators en- either side of the chamber to
take the chair when the presiding officer
has occasion to vacate it Temporarily; and
on this occasion Mr.. Harris was called
to the chair. No other ruling
could have been made by the vice
president or auy other senator than
that made by Mr. Harris, as Mr.. George
had yielded the floor, and MIR. Stewart was
the only senator asking recognition, and,
therefore, 1t was the plain duty of the pre-
siding officer TO recognize him ard to put
his motion. Upon receiving from Mr..
Hoar the first intimation that MIR. George
was not continuing his speech and that
vote was being taken, the Vice President
Immediately resumed the chair.
