Mr. Hay to Mr. Storer.
Washington, June 4, 1901.
Sir: I have to acknowledge the receipt of your No. 474, of the 21st ultimo, in which, referring to Department’s No. 320, of April 8 last, you state that you have reached the conclusion that Mr. Benito Llaveria Pascual was by Spanish law domiciled in Barcelona at the time of his enrollment for the army in 1898; that he was of proper age to be enrolled, and that his failure to present himself for such purpose places him entirely under the penal sections cited by the commission.
You add that you have advised the United States consul-general at Barcelona of your conclusions.
In reply I have to say that the Department approves your action.
I am, etc.,
