IIou.E. Mr. Adams raised a breeze in relation
To the AnIistcad case. lie accuses some one Of
having f,isilicd the public, printed documents of
the last session in relation to the Ans,cad matter
and he moved mn inquiry, by Select Committee,
into the subject, with view to ascertain whether
the acdged Justification originated in ignorance or
in fraud. Ia the original Custom House permit,
these Africans Of the Ams,ead ar. called 'aegros
laiiRo,.'
The Translator of the State Department gave
the original word, 'negros ladinos,' but Mr. A. al
cgcs that it was subsequently translated and rem
lered. sound ucgrcs.' II the ncgros are 'ladinos'
they were imported prior to 1920, and are slaves
even under the law Of nations. But Mr. Adams
states that this was fraudulent designation given
% them at Havana. If they are 'negros bosols,'
hey were imported since the slave trade was pro-
iibiied, and are free under the stipulatons of a
realty existing between Great Britain and Spain.
If the Supreme Court here determine the Africans
o be 'ncgros Jo;ais,' they must confirm the de-
rec Of the Court below and liberate them.
