latter to leave the island or prepare to be
hanged. Many Spanish families are leaving
the interior towns fearing that the insur-
gent forces will take possession of them be-
fore the arrival Of the American troops.

the Cuban newspapers. The committee re-
adopt measures to guarantee the lives of
those former soldiers of Spain. The Ameri-
cans listened attentively to the representa-
tons, promised their visitors that the lives
Of the men should be protected and advised
them to return to their homes and COM
mence work.
