I even went so far as to point out the fearful effect of a summary execution of this sort upon public opinion, both here and abroad, and, although I had no authority for doing so, called attention to the possi? bility that it might bring about re? prisals." Spanish Minister Aids. Mr. Gibson's report continue?: "The Spanish Minister forcibly sup poited all our representation? and made an earnest plea for clemency Harun von der Lancken stated that the military governor was the supreme authority ?n matters of thi? sort, and that an appeal from his decision could ho carried only to th?

"After some disCBSStefl he agreed to cull the military governor on the tele? phone and learn whether he had al? ready ratified the sentence and whether there was any chance for clemency.
