of the numerous robberies of which
Portuguese subjects have heen victims,
all over the islands. The Lnso says
that the insufficiency of the police gives
one a wish to treat them to drown
ing as is done to useless cats, and fur
Their says that the best remedy for this
insufficiency Of the police, and the
most convincing argument to be given
to intending robbers, would be to pep
per their backs with a little salt.

the band could play at the Hotel, FREE
of charge as it used to, every time
