mon makes probable ae % immediate ia Of sns empire
of the French troops leave the country, II does not
do so before. All have hopes that the republic win be
born anew God grant that the hard lessons have
experienced may make us just and right.

to take serious aspect. About half-pas eleven A. NJ
General Julio Garcia with force said be between
hundred and three hundred men, advanced by the
San Cayetano factory and crossed over into Martinez o
