al Hughes was subjected to a series Of
questions by Senator Patterson and other
minority members of the Senate Com

commander, was it rnot?" Mr.. Patterson
asked.

General Hughes.

question was not proper. but Senator.
Patterson insisted that it was.

Spanish forces.
General Hughes showing some impa-
