John Lee of Marblehead, cruising I'M

ing taken and sent home five valuable
prizes. entered the port of Bilbao in
Spain The captains Of two Of his
prizes and part of their crews were
en- board These officers Immediately
protested against their capture and had
Captain Lee arrested on 4 charge Of
piracy The local authorities sent the
documents in the ease to Madrid, to-
gether with the commission granted
by this new and unknown power.
In the decision of the Spanish min
istry depended not alone the fate OF
Captain Lee. but whether some OF the
most important ports in Europe should
bo opened or closed to American crui-
sers and priyateers. The English min
lister in Spain brought all his influence
to bear against Captain Lee At this
moment the Declaration of the Fourth
of July reached Madrid The complaint
against Captain Lee was dismissed,
