been increased to 700 men, and' the camp had been
removed to a still stronger position. All this, it is

.severely censures the American Boundary
Commissioner. He took suck a part, that, to a civilian,
he may be said to have assisted in the landinc, of the in-
vading expedition. It was stated that he offered free
passages to San Juan, and free gifts of land on the
island, to all American citizens who would come and
squat on it ; that he did this, representing himself in
his official character as commissioner, which added
weight to his offers.
The news from the gold mines continued favourable.
