409. Bay’s telegram of December 6, 11 a.m. Military Commandant at Irun received Queipo de Llano’s telegram urging him to facilitate Chapman’s return to Bilbao but regrets that Sangroniz’s orders make it impossible to grant the salvo conducto. He is calling the General’s telegram to the attention of the diplomatic cabinet. Under the circumstances Chapman leaves on the 15th and I shall do no more in the Bilbao matter for the present.
