New York dates give details of
a horrible outrage perpetrated by
Colonel tSonzales, Commandant of
the port of San Juati de Gantcmala,
on tlie British Vice Consul, John
Magee, with whom the Colonel had
a personal difficulty with reference
to the clearance of a vessel. They
had a recontre on the street, ex
changing blows. On the 24th of
April Gonzales summoned Magee
to appear at his office, and the
latter declining to come, Gouza'es
had him brought by soldiers. The
Colonel then abused him, beating
him over the head with a pistol,
and declared he should tiiot receive
400 lashes, and then lie shot.
Magee vainly invoked the protec
tion of his flag, and the remon-
strances of the United States Con
su'ar Agent, James, were also dis
regarded. The lacific Mail
steamer Arizona arrived at noon,
but Gonzales, seizing the telegraph
office, planted two conon to cover
the Arizona, had his victim brought
out and 200 blows with a rattan
inflicted. McGee fainted and was
returned to prison, with the promise
that the rest of the sentence should
be carried out in the morning.
Meantime, the news reached Salva
dor, and a detachment of soldiers
was sent to San Jose, reaching there
just as McGee was stripped for
torture. Gonzales ordered fn's sol
diers to shoot Magee, but they re
fused. He fled to the Arizon, pur
sued by Gonzales, when unseen hands
among the passengers fired a num
ber of shots at the villain, three of
which entered his body. His boat
was taken ashore, when he died
soon afterward. The United States
Minister at Salvador sent a dispatch,
ordering the detention of the
steamer, but the Captain, consider
ing that the order was designed to
keep the ship until the safety of the
foreign residents was assured, de
cided to disregard it, and sailed for
Panama April 25th.
