During the summer of 1TT6 Captain
John Lee of AIarbIehead, cruising un-
Ter a commission from congress, hav-
ing taken and sent home i've valuable
prizes, entered the port OF Bilbao In
spain. The captains OF two Of his
prizes and a part of their crews were
On board. These officers Immediately
protested against their capture and had
Captain Lee arrested on charge of
piracy. The local authorities sent the
documents in the case to Madrid, to-
Eether with the commission granted
by this new and unknown power.
In the decision of the Spanish min
lstry depended not alone the fate Of
Captain Lee, but whether some Of the
most important ports in Europe should
be opened or closed to American crui-
GERS and privatcers. The English min
Ister in Spain brought all his influence
to bear against Captain Lee. At this
moment the Declaration OF the Fourth
II July reached Madrid. The complaint
against Captain Lee was dismissed,
supplies for his ship and aid in repair
ing 1t were furnished, and public dec
taratIon was made that In Spanish ports
the new flag of America was as free
and as welcome as was the nag Of Eng
land.
Spain, like France, also helped the
United States with 100000 francs
