be sseertained at frst just what the DIM
Guilty really was,
Al worst II looked as II a subordinate
osfioer might have carried out orders a lit

OF Busier Lindsey shows that no, only

At midnight and given only twenty min.

srary the utmost courtesy and good feeling
prevailed.
The dispatch from Washington city
gives q manifestiy correct aecoun, Of the
AFFAIR and the result Is likely 10 be very
beneficial. Necessary as the presence OF
the national guard seemed 20 be for the
protection OF Washington fishermen. there
Is no doubt that tie appearance on ,he
