BARRUNDIA, AGAIN.
HIS WIDOW AND DAUGHTERS DE-
mANo HEAVY DAMAGES.
They Claim a Milton Dollars from the
United states--Thcir Argument
Their Case Unsonnd %
rBy telegraph to tbs DlsO,,ch.'


WASHINGTON, March 3.--Trnnalta nur-
tarte, the widow of General J. Martin Dat
rundia. in her own name and as the repre-,
sentative of her six minor daughters, ana
Ramon Bengoechea as the representative
of mis- wife, Teresa Barrundia de bengot-
chea. have filed with the Secretary OF S'a1o
a claim against the United States tor one
million dollars for having surrendereu
General Barrundia to the Guateinaiah au-
tborities at whose hands be lost BIS IRE.
The claim, the petitioners say. Is oaseq va
the explicit and precise deciatatlons
of the President Of the Umted States ~
Minister Miner, in issuing the order Tor the
surrender of Barrundia, exceeded the
hounds OF his authority and acted IN Vlo-
Iation of the precedeDts established III
similar eases. for which reason the tnited
States Government disavowod his act anu
recalled him from his post.
THE PETITIONERS ARGUMENT.
The petitioners argue that Mr.. Miner
acted in everything he did as the united
States Minister and as the legal represen-
tative of his nation. and it seems evident;
according to the unanimous OPINION OF ~
authorities, that If he is responsible 10 ms
Government t00J OOEeTuulSilb 4? 49,
HE 10 us, IN that it is bound to indemnify
us for injury that was caused to us by us
representative, through his violation, IN
the person of General Barrundia, OF the
gnerantees furnished in such cases 10y IN
ternational law, and even by the prlnci-
pies of humanity"
THE PETITIONERS MODEST REQUEST.
In closing the petitioners say: We ask
that the sum OF 100000 be paid TO us.
which we hope will be granted, so that the
limited States Government may act con-
sistently with the declarations made IN the
Presidents mssage, TO which we have re-
ferred, and may repair, so far rs possible,
the injury that has been caused TO as by
its representative. for whose acts 1t IS re-
sponslble."
ALLEGED DEFECT IN CLAM.
There is a defect in this claim which, IN
the opinion of the State Department. Off
Gals. will prove fatal to 1t. and that Is the
fact that il is made by citizens Of for
eign country without the knowledge and
consent of that country. II is said that 1t
is a well-established principle in this coun-
try, as we'll as nearly all Others, that claims
of the citizens of one country against
another are recognized only when pre-.
scented in the name of the country OF
which the claimant is a citizen.

II Is probable that the measure for new
street construction. as presented TO che
legislative Committee on Cities by City,
Solicitor Bailey. will require some amend
ment in order 10 safeguard the municipal
interests. The Citizens Association has
pointed out that the plan OF allowing un-
limited street-building, to be paid Tor en-
tirely by long loan, which IS a lien on the
improved land, led in Brooklyn, n. y, 10
wasteful land speculGtioEs. which imposed
many millions of dollars of debt upon the
clty-a debt that the city government found
it exceedingly difficult 10 liquidate by col
lectIous from the owners Of the benefited
real estate, Tho plan OF the Citizens As
soclation is that one third of the
estimated cost OF the new street
should be collected from the owners
of abutting property before the work is
begun, and the remainder should be
exacted short time after the work is
completed. Our belief is that, while Mr..
Bailey's plan Of complete payment. by q
fifty wear loan, on the part of the city may
be too liberal, the other plan Is too exact
ing. An equitable method would come
between these two extremes. and would
consist in collecting from the interested
owners of land an advanced payment of
one fifth TO one quarter OF the estimated
expense, as q guarantee of good faith,
while the remainder might rest as lien
on the real estate. payable, with taxes, at
regular annual intervals, through period
of twenty or thirty years. AS IL Is esti-
mated that the lien thus IMPOSED would
hardly exceed four cents per square foot,
there is relatively little property within
the city limits which could not easily bear
the burden.
