The authorities today are seeking
persons who last night stoned the
American legation during the
progress of street riot.
Some of the windows of the le-
cation building were broken by
the missiles and many in the mob
shouted imprecations ON the Unit

President Valencia said today
that the culprits would be severe

The stoning of the legation is
supposed to be the result of the
