Duke Almedovar, the Spanish foreign
minister, who informed the Chamber Of
Deputies that he would not conceal his
opinion that the blocking of the harbor of

modify his views If informed that the
Americans shut Ceryera up because they
thought if he came out Of the harbor he
might get hurt. z: :.@ ss s.s .5tsz-s
