There is story afoat that Robert Ray
Hamilton, whose sensational relations with
Eva Mann and his reported death on his
ranch in Idaho have attracted the atten-
ton of the whole country, is yet among the

The story lacks confirmation, however.
The probabilities are that he is dead, though
there are circumstances which appear to
lead to different conclusion. II it shoul d

DIPLOMATIC Mr.. Miner.

Mr.. Miner, who, until very recently,
was the American minister e. Guatemala,
and who was recalled because Of his blunder
In the Barrundia affair, pretends to believe
that Secretary Blaine could not have writ
ten the letter recalling him because of the
rather severe censure of his conduct which
it contains. He suggests that sit was writ
ten by subaltern and signed by The Secre-
tary of State without careful perusal"
1t is probable that Mr.. Miner makes
very great mistake If he thinks that the
letter was not fully approved by Mr.. Blaine.
Mr.. Miner would not have been dismissed
the administration intended to make q sort
of scapegoat Of him. In either case the
letter of recall would have been a pretty
severe one in order to direct the indigna-
ton of the public against Miner and away
from the administration.
IL Mr.. Miner thinks that, in a public
way, Mr.. Blaine will modify the letter that
deprived him Of his very comfortable office,
he will find he is mistaken. There was a
good deal of dissatisfaction in this country
over the Barrundia affair. There was a
feeling that the American flag had not
received the respect from Guatemala to
which it was entitled. 1t had failed to
shield from harm a man who was under
its protection. Aud the administration con-
cluded to hold Minister Miner and the
commander of one of the United States
gunboats which were in San Jose harbor
responsible for the lack of respect which had
been shown the flag. The minister aud
commander will have to bear the censure
they have received. Thus far their appeal
for ahearing has been ignored. The letter
each received, whether written by subal-
TEN or not, contained just what the ad-
miuistration intended it should.
