Washington, Sept 1. Tha State De
partmeat haa taken measures to secure
fall particulars of the shooting of Gen
eral Barraadia oa board aa American
vessel lying in the port of San Jose,
by officers af the Guatemalan Govern
ment, aad until tbe exact facte and clr
aumstaaoea connected with the affair
are known, it does not care to express
any opinion of the case or of the course
of Minister Miznor.
A case involving tho identical prin
ciple with that ot Gonoral Barrundia
.occurred in Nicaragua ia 1885, aad ia
that case Secretary Bayard informed
our Minister to Central America that
the Nicaraguan Government had a rigbt
to take a man wanted from on board an
American merchant vessel, provided she
were in Nicaraguan waters.
ThA cso wa that of Joso Gomez. In
a letter dated Guatemala. February 10,
1885. Minister Hall informed Secretary
Frelinhuysen that he had been inforrnod
that the Guatemalan Government pro
posed to take from on board tho Pacific
Mail steamer Honduras, then lying in
San Juan del Sur. a passenger named
Gomez, in transit for Panama, but
wanted in Nicaragua to answer a cbarjje
of boing Implicated in a recent insurrec
tion in tbat country. Minister Hall
said that he had directed our Consul at
Managua to inform the Nlcarajruan Gov
ernment that Vur Government has never
consented, and will novor consent.
to tbe removal from an American vessol
in a foreign port of any passenger in
transit much less if tho offense is po
litical." The captain of tbe vessel did
not givo up tbe man and sailed out of
port without securing proper cloaranco
papers. Ho nas tried and convicted for
this by tho Nicaraguan authorities.
Tbe case came before tbo State Depart
ment in this way and it held that Min
ister Hall bad not acted according to
law. In his letter to the Minister,
which Is dated March 12. IBM, Secretary
Bayard says:
"It appears tbat Gomez voluntarily
took passage on tbo vessel, knowing
tbat it would enter on route a Nicara
guan port
"It may be safely nflirmed tbat when
a merchant vessol of ono country visits
tho ports of another for the purposo of
trado it owes temporary allegianco and
is amenablo to tho jurlsdict on of that
country and is subject to the laws which
govern tho port it visits so long as it re
mains, unless It is otherwiso provided
by treaty. Any exemption or immunity
from jurisdiction must bo derived from
tho consent of tbat country."
It is said tbat cases havo frequently
occurred in which revolutionists and
others wanted for offenses of ono charac
ter or another have Iteoti seized by tho
Hawaiian government, while tho British
merchant ships and Great Britain had
not protested, thus establishing diplo
mat c precedents. Had tho vessel been
a man-of-war, Barrundia would not have
boon subject to tbo jurisdiction, as war
vessels carry every where tho jurisdiction
of tho country whose flag thoy fly. The
Barrundia affair differs from the others
in that tho man was shot but tho right
to soizc boing conceded tbo right to kill
if resistance is mado is an old established
principle of law.
The principal criticism mado in diplo
matic circlesof Minister Mizner's course
Is that of unnecessary interference. It
is suggested tbat bo might havo simply
stated to tho Guatemalans that tbey
bad seized the man at their own risk.
But on this point it is thought well to
await knowledge of exactly what tbv
Minister said and did bo fore pronounc
ing judgmont upon his conduct
