drafted in most courteous terms. 1t asked
where and when the Spanish commissioners
would meet the Americans. Lieutenant
Sears, Rear Admiral Schley's flag leuten-
ant, delivered the communication to the
captain general, driving to the palace in
carriage. At the gate of the palace brick
was hurled at him from the sidewalk. Be-
ing an old baseball player he was able part
ly, to ward the missile off with his hands
and it fell, striking. him on the ankle, but
doing only slight injury.
This is the first incident of the kind since
our arrival here The lieutenant did not
deem 1t advisable to lodge a complaint and
the police made no arrest The American
commissioners are determined to brook no
delay as indicated by their action Although
Captain General Macias recognized their
presence by official visits, they have not
been notified of the appointment or the
names of the Spanish commissioners and
the names of the latter have not been Off
cially gazetted, in spite of the fact that It
is understood, unofficialy, that Generals
Ortega and VaIlerino and the auditor of
war Senior Aguilar. comprise the Spanish
commission. The thirty days expire on Sum
day and If the Spaniards are not prepared
to proceed on that date they must explain
matters.
