The account of Commander Reiter. the account of Captain Pitt. who was an eyewitness. speak of only one document being produced. and that documentwas from the American minister. advising Captain Pitts to give up Barrundia. Now. why was it that the Guatemalan Government took such pains to get the authorization of our minister? It was because theywanted Barrundia as a revolutionist. as a political refugee. No one would wish to make the United States flag cover a fugitive from justice. If howas the fugitive from justice that the gentleman from Pennsylvania describes. then Commander Reiter proposed to give tosuch a fugitive the shelter of the American flag. which is exactly what the I gentleman says the American flag ought never to be used for. The truth is. Barrundia was a political refugee. and as a matter of fact no one doubts it. It is easy enough to trump up a case and make charges against a man who has been engaged in unsuccessful revolution. and the vague statement of Angulano is of no weight. Probably Barrundia was a man who had led a bad life. I dare say his character was none of the best. but when he came on the Acapulco into that port he came as a political refugee. I rest no argument whatever on the question of ridiction. It is not a question of jurisdiction over a man escaping fron a civil or criminal process.
