Port France for that purpose.
Inquiries made at the United States

''The Spaniards at Manila are incensed

The British gunboat Linnett brought

He fought in the flagship until she was

signalled the American fleet, The ships

since we have heard from the operations
of the armies in that section of the

enlargement he can, Shortly after
Blanco was appointed to his present
position. Glen. Gomez addressed him, as
he had Martinez Campos. letter urging
him, for humanity's sake, to use his
influence with Spain to stop the blood
she'd and bring the war TO an end on
