In fact. he put it mildly. saying that he regretted it when he heard it and when the details came disavowed it. and the minister was recalled. That unhappy man. Barrundia. was slain upon a deck that has ever been sacred. that has ever. in all waters. protected political refugees. He was not contraband of war. there was no war. but peace declared. There was no charge of ordinary crime. only that he was a political offender. We have stood by Great Britain and by other nations in the doctrine that a political refugee should never be turned from the protection of our flag. and God grant that no man of any party shall ever be Secretary of State who will not disavow the act of a minister who orders the surrender of a political victim who trusts to our protection and the act of a naval commander who sits supinely for fifteen hours with two war vestels at his beck and permits such a bloody tragedy and disgrace to our national name.
