possession Of the President and the only explanation for
this outrage appears in the assertion that he was not
recognized by Concha as American Consul and had no

to do with this summary act Of despotsm apd insult
II is known that General Concha had for some

The evidences around distinctly point to the call Of
an extra session of Congress.
