written by the latter to the former under
da te of Tela, April IL Commander Fullam
addressed Col. Isaula as follows:
Il have to acknowledge the receipt of
your reply TO my demand for an apology
for offensive acts against the government
of the United States.
The only parts of your conversat ton with
Mr.. Glynn to Which he or l paid any at

1T is true that Vice Consul Rey nolds had

You admit that you are not well vcrsed

ignorance on your part has caused you to
violate the fundamental principles of this
law.
II have to inform YOU that neither you or
your men had any rights whatever to touch

a consul or by any other British subject.
II was very serious offcnse. for which a

Naval Officer Menaced.

We disembarked Immediately and formed a
line of skirmishers parallel to the water s
edge. Col. Isaula and his guard then
lowered their weapons. l delivered your
letter TO him and told him that | had
come TO demand an apology for the af-
fronts given by him toward the United
States and the Americans
Meanwhile, his troops about. sixty
strong, had formed two lines of skirmish-
ers, on the flank and perpendicular to my
line OF front. Col. lsaula al first protested
that. to the best of his knowledge he had
done nothing for which an apology was
due. l then recalled to his mind as strong
~ and as forcibly as possible his interview
with Mr.. Glynn in Truxillo. and also his in
terview with me in Salado. l also told
him that he must write a full apology and
sign it in the next half hour, and if he did
not do he would be considered an enemy
to the United States.
I'VE then went with him to the United
States consular agents house, where he
hnaNy consented to write the apology but
protested against being forced to do il
pointed out TO him that he had about sixty
men. while l had but eleven, and that he
could hardly say that he was being forced
Ensign Densmore then landed with a cut

Marietta guns were trained on the Quartet
and would open fire at the first act of yio-
lence on his part.

colonel was informed that We were ashore

Ensign Densmore and myself then went to
the commandments house while Col Isaula
signed the apology which l brought back
TO you. Mr.. Boet, an American citizen
acted as interpreter, read the apology to
me, and assured me that it was correct
and proper and covered all points
Col. Isaula gave his word that the lives
and property of all foreigners would be
respected.
