to the Commanders of the Spanish
cruisers Conde Venadito and Nueva
Espana for the courage they displayed
in going out to meet the ships of the
squadron blockading Havana some

asylum for the reconcentradoS, opening

Principe Of a regiment consisting Of
1000 natives to fight against the Amer
leans. The military Commander at

Commander ordered everybody to arms

dios has issued an order explaining

respondents in the island and threaten
ing to put such on trial as spies, ac-
cording to the military code.

economist Congress, the Conservative
minority attacked the autonomy
scheme.
