No. 623.
General Sickles to Mr. Fish.
[Telegram.]
Madrid, November 18,
1873.
Minister of state informs me, in note of this date, that the reports mentioned in your cable of 15th are not confirmed, and that, on the contrary, as soon as the captain-general could transmit to Santiago the orders sent by this government on the 6th, the executions were suspended.
SICKLES.
