The Jftr-alil't Jftr-alil't Washington correspouJent says it is understood that Minister Mtzner, our minister to Central America, has received from Secretary Secre-tary lilalne assurances of tbe ap- proralofthe President of Ids conduct con-duct in the Uarrundla case and has been fully Justified In the course he pursued. This Information comes from the City t,f Guatemala, where it appears the stateuepartment was nlost auxious that the Information should lie first officially promulga-gated. promulga-gated. Thereasou for tills Is that as tho President had no intention of recalling him, It was deemed Important, Im-portant, In view of tho slejs taken in Congress to obtain the state department de-partment correspondence, that (lie Central American governments should know as speedily as possible that Minister Mlzner still retained the confidence of the aJmlui-tra-tlon. According to the announcement, Minister Mizuer Is held not to have exceeded Ills duty. On the contrary, con-trary, he went further in the matter in the interest of General Barruu-dia Barruu-dia and his family than he was required re-quired to do. He secured a written guarantee from tho rltESlDEXT Of GUATEMALA and tho minister of foreign relations made to the government of the United States that iu no case would tbe life of General Barruudia be In danger. Minister Mizner so states In his letter to Captain Pitts, which was read aud translated to Barrundia. It nppcarsalse that Mlzner did not order his surrender. He simply called the captain's attention to the instructions laid down by tho Statu Department for the Information of tile commanders of merchant vrsse-is iu just such cases. Minister Mizuer, iu his explanation explana-tion to the State Dejiartnient.says he knew of all the intense personal feeling existing against Barrundia, growing out of his former conduct as secretary of war, and knowing also the temper of the Guatemalans at the time, lie deemed It but Just thatlf hebndcJ heMioul I have the protection of the Guatemalan government gov-ernment against mob violence. Such a guarantee was invJe to tile government of the United States, not to Minister Mizuer, In order that it might therefore be alleged that the arrest of Barrundia on a charge of malfeasance iu otltrc was merely a pretext to expo-ehim to assassination. The guarautee was nlso given on account of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company to avoid all pretext to refusing to surrender persons on proper demand. General itamiudin's political acts did not cuter into consideration of the question and Captain Pills' conduct, con-duct, it is understood, hasalso bven approved by the eteamstilp company. com-pany.

For some days past the town has been plastered plas-tered with hand bills olid posters Announcing that last night Professor Alex Johnson and Miss Kate Bangs would give an exhibition exposing modern splritualisnu Incidentally $500 reward was offered for a correct explanation of any or the tricks done before the formal exposure was made from the stage. As a result of tho extensive nd vertislng the liou'e was packed.

Then he pleaded innocence, telling the audience audi-ence that his name was not Johnson aud that he bad been engaged only that day for the occasion. Fraud was written all over the faee'ef the lecturer and theaudlence arose en mane. One half made for the stage, the other half for the box office.
