 And They Might Have Had Plenty.
 All the while this was going on the SpaniS.g authorities were refusing to allow the Comal, with million ra- tinos on board. 10 enter Havana har- bor The American commission did a great deal Of hard work to secure the entrance of the vessel, and finally got permission to land her supplies at Mantanzas.
