may reach santiago and create an iD jurious injurious impression in in the minds of the catlan chilian government and I 1 write you this instruction from excess of caution in order that no harm may result from erroneous statements in the press to which I 1 especially refer are those wu walh h represent this government as in some way way giving encouragement to such clauri against teru jeru which being acknowledged should enable tho united states to indemnify chill and then practically own peru either elther directly or through the association of american citizens this is the extreme statement and it has many shad ings lugs and variations you will take prompt and special care to anticipate any evil that might result from this rumor being circulated d in chili chill by disavowal end and ind denial of it in whole and in every particular the only claim which this department has instructed our minister at lima to good office is hat known as the santiago claim and this is to the extent only of requesting that dandreau San dreau should be permitted to have authoritative investigation of his claim by the peruvian government and that if f found lo 10 to be good and valid it should be

in this connee alon aion action in regard to both the 13 andreau San dreau and the cochet claim have been marked by entire prudence and discretion while disa busing the chilian government of any impression that the united states mediates intervention on behalf cf f peruvian claims beyond the use of its good offices you will say justice seems to demand that san dreau should have an opportunity to be heard in support of his claim before a tribunal in peru noru competent to decide it and that if decided deci debt deit in his favor the treaty of peru which might inight cede territory to chili should not bo bd made in dis disregard d to any rights which may be bound after an impartial judicial investigation vesti gation to possess the report of joseph K macam t mon commissioner of railroads

my opinion of the men who are doing it In general generalI I 1 am well with the trial especially sox cox ally aily the court an and djury jury judge cox I 1 consider just the man lor this case he is ables able conscientious and careful and is disposed to give wide latitude to all ati parties I 1 think he believes in my idea of inspiration as he is a high toned churchman and therefore is dispo disposed bed Eed to do absolute justice i ustice to the deity and myself without the deitos pressure pre sure sute the president never would have been removed this pressure destroyed my free agency the deity compelled enned me to do the act just as a highwayman compels a man in to give him money after placing 91 at bis big victims head the victim may know it is wrong for him to give the money that his wife and children need but how can he keep it with a pistol at his head the irresistible irr pressure to remove the president was upon me for thirty days and it never left me while awake it haunted me day and night at last an opportunity came and I 1 shot him in the baltimore potomic depot I 1 w would ouid not do it again for a million dollars only a miracle saved me from being shot or hung then and there it mastbe was the most insane act possible and no one in bis his right mind could have done it but the pressure on me ind was wag BO so enormous that I 1 would have done it if I 1 had died the next moment I 1 had tad no nn power to prevent it the president was surrounded by his cabinet and personal friends and or people were in the depot no one but a mad man would think of assaulting him under such circumstances if I 1 had not been instantly hurried away by the police I 1 would have been shot or hung in nive five minutes god protected me then as he has on three other occasions since once july ad when I 1 have been assaulted the gradual way the deity removed the president isa is a confirmation rf my original inspiration I 1 am well weli satisfied with the deitos conduct of this case thus far and I 1 have no doubt but he will continue to father the act to the that the public will sooner or later see the special providence in the act chave I 1 have an unusually bright jury and I 1 wish them to pass on my iny case I 1 judge they are honest conscientious and careful they listen with the greatest interest to the testimony and all aU and no doubt they will give this case their most solemn attention and dispose of it according to the facts and the law and presume the high toned conscientious press of the nation will acquis ce in their verdict has nas introduced certain witnesses who are guilty of rank perjury some of them shavo known nothing of for years and care nothing about th the ir perjury has been so manifest and wicked that it has haa excited my wrath and I 1 P have denounced them in plain language I 1 shall also show their iniquity in by my testimony monys aad and that of others J I 1 have denounced the district attorney forthe for the mean deceptive way he has con ducted the prosecution my afy opinion of him is well known and I 1 decline to notice him here a high toned lawyer and a fine gentleman e and I 1 am ana pleased wit with his 19 1 9 0 un eutiva in the case judge por par terl knew know years ago when mpr I 1 practiced ac law in new york I 1 do not admire his style he is too venomous in examination he is supposed to be a good lawyer the defense has been unfortunate in having in sufficient counsel 1 mr scoville has done well weli considering his inexperience peri ence in criminal matters he and I 1 differ as to the conduct of this case he lays too much stress on hereditary insanity it is not t the he shape of ones head or the hang of the tongue but the spirit that takes possession of one that makes him sane or insane the science of spirit is more important in this case than although may have an important bearing on it mr scoville Bc oville nurses his fool theory as tenderly as a mother would her infant I 1 expected two or three first class lawyers on the case but we have been forced to go on without without them in the interest of truth and justice I 1 have to do a great deal of talking myself but some people think my points are well made I 1 have no egotism and only talk because the truth requires it I 1 am on trial for the truth for justice for vindication I 1 have no fearn for this world or the next the deity ha has s always taken care of me and I 1 am well satisfied with wilh his dealings with me since he inspired me to attempt the presidents removal had I 1 been a marksman he would have gone at once but it ia is for tho better belter in every way that the deity let him pass as he did because it gave the deity an 0 opportunity port unity to confirm the act it it also prepares for the change I 1 am highly pleased with general arthur he has haij done splendid in ln hib his new position no one could have done better he ie 1 Is high toned conscientious ious lous aw ant keeps his big secrets I 1 have been especially pleased biffi with hla hia conciliatory spirit and wisdom toward the opposition it ia Is exactly what I 1 wished him to do viz unite the factions of the republican 1 party so that the nation may be happy and prosperous rous rons I 1 DENVER 19 the los vegas dispatch says saye thomas thomast J virby was shot and mortally wounded by lon lou smith
