Manzanillo, Oct. 1O.-The echoes of the
excitement produced by the attempt Of
Colonel Ray to take possession of this
city last week in spite of the threats
of the Spanish commander have not
died away. Although General Parron,
on the surface, Is courteousness and
dignity personified, he created a great
scene at the palace after the incident,
striking terror to the hearts of his
subordinates. He cursed in flowing
Castilian, completely forgot his dignity,
and with the oaths Of longshoreman
vowed that the honor of the Spanish
army had suffered blow. The Spaniard

and that quickly.
In his fury he sent for the military
commander but 1t was found that this
officer had left with the Spanish troops
the night before. Then he sent for the
adjutant general and asked him why the
Americans had been let through the city
gate. The reply was disclaimer Of au-
thority and suggestion that the in
quiry should beput to the officer who was
in charge of the guard. 1t was then
discovered that the officer had been
withdrawn several days before, leaving
a sergeant in command. When the SER
