The Consul at Seville (Bay) to the Acting Secretary of State

Department’s December 17, 7 p.m., received December 19, 7 p.m. Information given out in Lisbon by the representative of Burgos government to the Legations in that capital is generally not available in Seville for some time. I feel certain that the military commander in Seville would be disposed to furnish this office with copies of such notices provided that he receives copies but it is probable that he does not receive particulars as to when notices are given out nor the text used in them as these emanate from Burgos. It is possible military headquarters in Salamanca prepares these notices. If so, the most practical arrangement would be to obtain copies directly from that source.
