ILL. l1tufy t1yeFs, tle puFBer OF the SUM-

still held as a prisoner by the United States.
We understand that the Linc3lu goyern,uear
| refused to give him up, and that he has beeu
informed that be will neither be released nor
| exchanged. As he Was unjust1Y taken on
neutral ground, and rs Morocco was too weak
! to demand his surrender, it is but proper that
