48. Military council has called Congress to meet tomorrow to elect successor to Carlos Herrera; no indications of who will be elected. Instead of calling present Congress they assemble the Congress existing when Cabrera fell. Two Cabinet officers, many prominent citizens, still imprisoned; some shooting in streets last night. Quiet in city and country prevail. Complaint made by Unionist Party at President’s precipitate capitulation. No disturbance of foreigners.
