ed that United States Minister Willis and
British Commissioner Halves had been
given in confidence the sentences passed
by the military commission upon citizens
OF their respective countries. Mr.. Willis
reported that the communication to his
government of the death sentences upon
Guick and Seward was a correct state
lnent. Those sentences have not yet been
reviewed by the commander-in-chief. 1t
IS the presidents intention next week to
summon the advisory council, for the pur-
pose Of advising upon these sentences.
Action has been postponed till all the lead
ing cases have been tried that the SEN
tences could be revised together, and suit
able judgment be meted out. 1t was the
desire of the government to inhict no
heavier penalty than was absolutely neces-
sary to the public security. further
reason for the delay was to await the ex-
preston Of public sentiment abroad.

course would be taken with the eX-queen.
