The Acting Secretary of State to the Consul at Seville (Bay)
Our Legation at Lisbon reports that it has just received tonight a note without external indications as to origin, but signed by Amoedo, insurgent representative in Lisbon, warning that the port of Barcelona may be bombed without notice and advising immediate evacuation by foreign vessels and citizens.
Inquire of General Queipo de Llano and report immediately to the Department whether the message received by our Legation is to be taken as authentic notice of intention of insurgent authorities to bomb Barcelona in the near future. In the meantime the message received by Lisbon is being repeated to our Consul General, Barcelona and to the Navy Department for the information of Admiral Fairfield.
