(Mr. Sickles states that the consul-general of the United states at Barcelona reports by telegraph that his visa on cédulas of persons born in Cuba and Porto Rico is ignored by the registry office, and that holders of such cédulas are not permitted to register as foreigners. The consul-general requests instructions, as the time for registering expires July 1.)
