Mr.. Miner described Barrundia as COM

crimes than those of political nature. The
reports that Miners lie was in danger after
acterized as utter falsehoods. He said that
he had never gone armed. He had no
escort and had never asked for one. He
says he hopes to explain his course in the
matter to the satisfaction of all and to his
own vindication. He will remain in thi,
city for the present, and then proceed to
Washington to state his case to the secre-
tary. MIR. Miner is not oversanguine that
