new shoots destined to grow and bear fruit Thus II
is incontestable that the reorgan zatlon OF the
administrative departments is progressing steadily,
and must eventually tend co put stop TO many
vexations aud acts OF injustice to which the people
have hitherto been subjected The revenue OF the
country Is still very imperfectly collected and often
very ill-advlsedly spent but it has increased and

never been Inhabited since the time when its Roman
colony was forced 20 abandon The place owing TO the
continual raids or the Berhere Arabs. The country
in Its neighbornood Is most fertile and well watered,
ana the harbor excellent. Situated, as 1t is, some
