"Your excellency, being a resident in

that ever since the assassination of
Superintendent of Police Heunchsy
October 10th, 1890, the papers have
teemed with all manner of vaporings
from Mr. Corto in the shape of inter

he could not properly be held
an official responsible, and since
was scarcely credited with one
statement before another was made,
either exactly the opposite of or largely
qualifying the first, his vagaries and
blusterings were regarded by all but
his own people as either laughable or
contemptible. This letter of May Gth

being impertinent, the letter contains
statements absolutely false, and beyond

"If, as Italian consul, Mr. Corte has

element of danger to

ances ho incites his inflammable people
to riot or sullen opposition to laws and
customs of a country they have sought
as an asylum. Being the depository, as
he confesses himself to be, of criminal
secrets relating to the individuals of his
race resident among us, ho refuses to
give to tlie department of police and
justice the information lie has and
thorby increases the danger to the com

"For these reasons I have tho honor
to request that you ask of the Honora
