i Vera Cruz, May 13.—Dr. Aurellano Urrutia, who was once provisional President Huerta’s most trusted coun- sellor in the cabinet, and wno as min- ister of the interior is popularly be- lieved to have been the author of many orders for the drastic punishment and even the disappearanec of his chief’s political enemies, arrived today among tho refugees from the capital. He had fled from the wrath of Huerta. Dr. Urrutia said he had not been sub- jected to any overt act of hostility by Huerta, but had decided that to remain within his reach was to court death. He declared he preferred to enter the Amierican lines and trust to the hospi- tality of the American authorities in Vera Cruz. He was accompanied by his family and said he expected to re- main here indefinitely. The former minister of the interior declared he had stolen away from the capital in the same way as any other fugitive and had succeeded in eluding Huerta’s agents and arriving within the Ameri- can lines without his identity being disclosed, so far as he knew. Once on board the American train on the Vera Cruz side of the gap in the railroad, he made himself known to the guards and surrendered a pistol which he had managed te.keep when the Mexicans searched the train. Dr. Urrutia was dressed little better than an ordinary laboring man and appeared totally unlike the somewhat pompous individual who ouce was feared almest as much as Huerta him- self, as his power was second only to that of the provisional president. His features were drawn and his bearing downcast, and he displayed plainly evi- dences of the strain he said he had undergone during the past few weeks.

R. MILLSTEIN, 106 Main St., Norwich, Conn. Telephone 786 In view of the participation of Connecticut admirers in the im- posing coremonies which were held last week in Washington at the un- veiling of the monument to the fa- mous United States naval officer and gallant Irish patriot, Commodore John Barry, the part which this state and this end of the state played in his career during the early wars is of particular interest at this time. In recent articles on Barry, necessarily limited details, nothing has appeared regarding his brief stay in this state in those months of 1782, when in the Alliance the adventurous commo- dore cruised around New London. seizing eight vessels in three weeks. Of special interest, is the fact that the frigate United States, in which Barry brought great honor ta this na- tion, wus built in part by men from Connecticut. It is also a fact which should not be overlooked that at least three of the ships in Barry’s squadron were built in Middletown or in Port- land across the river. Barry’s Declaration. It was while at New London that Commodore Barry wrote that fa- mous saying of his which has been repeated the world over: ‘I' serve the country for nothing.” This dec- laration, which so faithfully depicts his patriotism and whole-hearted unselfishness, occurs in one of two letters which Barry wrote to an In- timate friend of his in Philadelphia, John Brown, of admiralty. The originals are in the possession of Mr. Brown's des- cendants, residing at Carlisle, Pa | Barry arrived at New London, so he tells us, on May 13, 1782, and was there off and on until the middie of August. He came here in the Alllance, the foremost vessel in the American ravy, and in -even those Prompt Service Delay in replacing broken glasses means injury to the eye- sight.

Dr. Urrutia is the man who wrote the ultimatum giving the United States 24 hours in which to recognize Huerta, and as an alternative declaring that Nelson O'Shaughnessy, ~American charge d’affaires, would be given his passports and war declared. This was approved one night at a cabinet meet- ing after the mission of John Lind to Mexico had begun, and was kept from being sent to Washington only by the urgent protests of Federico Gamboa, the Mexican minister of foreign af- fairs. Numerous stories as to Urrutia be- ing the tool of General Huerta in the disaprearance of prominent men, in- cluding Senator Belisario Dominguez, who was missing soon after he attack- ed President Huerta in a speech in the senate, and whose body was never re- covered, were denied by Dr. Urrutia. Senator Dominguez was said to have been tortured by order of Urrutia and then cremated before he was actually ead. € ——————— Lafayette on his France. It was this errand that important mission to on the return from Barry came to New London for his three months’ stay. On the way the Alllance was chased by the Chatham, but 'as she sailed 15 knots an hour, soon got out of sight of her pursuer and ran down the Speedwell, the British sloop of war which attempted to prevent her es- cape. Didn’t Like New London. Commodore Barry's life in New London is full of interest and while to the adventurous naval officer it seemed rather 1in . the nature of a vacation, it would séem to ordinary people to be full of adventure and exciting experiences. In an early letter to his friend John Brown he tells how he was chased by two frigates off New York in @ addition to his other experiences with the enemy. Barry had a good many things to bother him and summing up his trials he writes in short: “I never was in such a ‘ramb’ country in all my life” He did not feel that he could accomplish much for his country, as he tells us that he did not have 100 men on board to do duty, and in New London during the three weeks after his arrival he had succeeded in getting only one recruit. To John Brown he writes, “You talk about seeing me in New London. T should be glad to see you here, but you may be as- sured you never was in so miserable a place in your life. All the people here live five miles from home.” Captain Barry, to designate him by the title he then bore, showed his large warm-hearted Irish nature by writing to Washington from New London, asking for the exchange of his Tory brother-in-law who ranked as a captain and had been captured on board a merchant vessel bound for New York. Evidently Washing- ton thought that Barry would suc- ceed in capturing some prizes while around New London for he instruct- ed John Barry, the secretary of the board of admiralty, tgq write Barry to address his prizes to Thomas Mumford of Groton. Built at Middletown. Reference has been made to the fact that some of Barry's ships in which he won renown and brought honor to his country were built on the Con- necticut. An evidence of this is fur- nished in the collection of Charles Rob- ’? are but Syrups. It is pleasant. It er’ Narcotie -~ ! Matylewicz, land and buildings at 24 N enemy. On Aug. 9 he took a schooner bound from the Bermudas laden with a cargo of molasses, sugar and lime, and . sent her to Boston. The valiant Irish naval officer also succeeded in taking cther prizes on the water, and as has been stated in three weeks while at New London he captured eight vessels. During the Revolution- ary war the British lost 181 vessels, of which number 78 were taken by the Anericans, and Barry" record for prizes taken places him in the front rank of victors. In the Alllance he fought the last battle of the Revolu- tion—the encounter with the Sybille, and it was in Lexington that he com- manded the first vessel commissioned by the authority of the continental congress. He made the first capture under the union flag of Washington and under the Stars and Stripes he fought the last battle of the Revolu- tion. The Alliance Sold in 1785. The Alliance, in which he did such @ood service around New London, was sold by the United States in 1785 for about §7,700. The vessel, which was of 724 tons, a large ship for those days, at length died a natural death on Pet- ty's Island in the Delaware opposite Port Richmond. Talcott Williams has shown great interest in the vessel and has succeeded in saving some of ner old-time timbers which he has pre- sented to the American Catholic His- torical society. The Connecticut. One other tie connects the valiant Irish commcdore with Connecticut and thsat is that the Connecticut of 36 guns, one of Barry’s fleet, which sailed from Norfolk with the United States in 1799 for an expedition against French privateers, was built on the Connecti- cut opposite Middletown. This staunch vessel was built in 1798 at a cost of $57,620. She was of 492 tons and was manned by 24 men. She did fine work in the West \Indies under Barry and was finally sold in New York in 1301, bringing $19,300. /It is interesting to recall In this connection how smany warships were built at Middletown and Portland durirg the War of the Revo- dution, The Connecticut was built by Philip Gildersleeve, master carpenter, at the yard near Stevens’ wharf at the end of Shipyard iane in 1798 and a number of warships for the government were built at the shipyard which occupied the Brainerd quary and owned by a man named Bush.
