Señor Aldunate to Mr. Logan.

Santiago, November 8, 1882.

Sir: In answer to the note of your excellency, dated the 27th of October ultimo, in which your excellency signifies the desire to know the facts connected with the trial and punishment of the individual guilty of intercepting the correspondence of General Adams, United States minister in Bolivia, I have the honor to inclose an official copy of the sentence pronounced in the case by the judge of crime in this city. In this your excellency will find a clear but succinct exposition of the circumstances giving origin to the process, the reasons which caused the dismissal of other charges which at the beginning it was thought the prisoner was liable to, and, finally, the condemnation and punishment of the delinquent.

In the confidence that with the inclosure of the accompanying document I have complied with the desires of your excellency in the above mentioned communication,

I reiterate, &c.,

LUIS ALDUNATE.
