And the sole offense for which this dastardly crime was perpetrated, was that he decided to accept the honor which the government conferred upon him in appointing him postmaster of a village of 300 inhabitants.

It was the color of his skin that made this acceptance odious in the eyes of his Anglo-Saxon neighbors! This incident naturally aroused as much indignation among the members of the Imperium as did the destruction of the war ship in the bosoms of the Anglo-Saxons of the United States.

The Congress of the Imperium was called and assembled in special session at the Capitol building just outside of Waco.

The session began on the morning of April--the same day on which the Congress of the United States had under consideration the resolutions, the adoption of which meant war with Spain.
