each on account of their Imprisonment for
three weeks at Santiago de Cuba. The
sailors claimed that they were shipwrecked
on the coast Of Cuba, Feb. 16 1854 No
charges were preferred against them and
after three weeks they were released. one
having contracted rheumatism in prison,
the other yellow fever. Their attorneys
presented claims to the State Department
and the case is still pending although Spain
has twice refused to pay indemnity.

ordinary civil tribunals. The Spanish min
lister of state, i'm September, 1886, replied to
Minister Taylor that the appearance of the
sailors in boat without clearance papers.
at about the time of the first flibustering
expedition warranted their arrest and that
the proceedings against them were the
shortest permitted by the laws; that their
statements did not agree and were evident
ly false. and finally that His Majestys s
government finds itself obliged TO reject in
an absolute manner the demand for an IN
demnity. considering this case hnally and
irrevocably ended" March i, 1887. the Duke
of Tetuan refused again to open the claim,
stating that many small crafts similar to
the boat i'm which the two sailors were
found had brought munitions of war TO
Cuba. and that their detention was pre-
ventive and penal. Referring to the treaty
of l7a5 the duke says: who will maintain
that those benefits are absolutely uncondi-
tional and that they extend even to those
who bear hostile Intentions? AND adds:
.The application of the treaty did not suf-
fer any alteration, but only a justified delay
which was followed by the full and inn
mediate application of the treaty as soon
as il was possible to do So.
