Mr. Day to Mr. Cambon.
Excellency: With reference to previous correspondence in relation to the case of Mr. Jiminez Zapatero, the Spanish subject who was captured on the steamer Panama while having in his possession the evidences of his being in the military service of Spain, I have the honor to inform you that I am advised by the Secretary of War that it has [Page 799] been decided, after a full investigation, that the Spanish subject in question is properly held as a prisoner of war.
He will receive during his detention the consideration and treatment due to an officer.
Accept, etc.,
