banisned, not In those forms and formally, but the
President and Cabinet aud his personal friends have
strongly advised him to leave the country, and by the

general. although he fought bitterly against the
present administr alton. This better than anything
shows that Diax does not want 10 havs him conspre
against him.
One OF the main points brought against him Is the
shooting, without much trial, OF hundreds OF tho
