to Washington the nearest point mt which an nc
comnodati0n could hencefortl lie arranged. Their
disappointment is said to have been great upon

being received with open arms. The commission
was an excellent one being composed of Couto,
Cuevas, Abristian and Rncon.

refusing to accept the liberal propositions made by
Mr. Trist, in the name of the U. 5. Government.
