With this, the Ad Hoc Investigation Commission is hereby noti-

were found in Precinct 1 of the town of Guba, neither could they be
found for they were sharpshooters, and they did not use 40-50 bul-

hold of was slaughtered by daggers and shot to death from rifles with
dead bodies mutilated afterwards.
