it applied only 10 American citizens resi-

as the 'captives from the Competitor

it was decided that they could not claim
any OF the privileges accorded BY the

is that. Irrespective Of the Gushing pro-

prisoners certain privileges that were
withheld from them by the Spanish
court-martial Notably. they were oblig-

OF Spanish ofiiSer detailed for that
