Caleb Cushing to Hamilton Fish, June 12, 1876
No. 294. Mr. Cushing to Mr. Fish.
Legation of the United States, Madrid, June 12, 1876. (Received June 29.)
No. 981.]
Sir: Bearing in mind that the officers of the Tornado, equally with D. Juan Burriel, in fact if not in official responsibility, and, indeed, with anteriority to him in the course of events, are implicated in the execution of the ship’s company and the passengers of the Virginius, it is interesting that the legal proceedings in the cause have taken another step, it being announced that “the expediente drawn up on account of the occurrences on board the Tornado, after the capture of the Virginius, have been referred for report to the supreme tribunal of the navy.”
I have, &c.,
C. CUSHING.
