II you shoot them," said Mr. Wil liams, "my government instructs me to close its consulate here and demand my . passports, and I shall most certainly nolo you and your government respon- sible should these prisoners be executed before our protest be given due con sideration." When Mr. Williams bowed himself out of the general's presence, he drove back to his office. The excitement that followed at the palace was inde scribable. 1 Tbe judges of the civil tribunal and ' the cnairman of the leading conserva-' tive party and the managing director of the Spanish bank were called and a consultation began. The majority of these personage advised the authorities to suspend the execution, pending fur-: ther instructions from Madrid. ; General Weyler said that if the men were not executed he would resign. !
