and especially Americans, or whom they are jealous.
Since Scott evacuated the capital OF that country
there has not been anything like safety for an
Americans life property IN her pre-
cincts. The generosity OF the people Is
strongly marked by their desire TO pat
their hands In everybo6y's pocket except their
own. There is nothing great in them, not even

best authority, that upwards Of two thousand rob-
berles have been reported in one year to single
