ian legation is in a condition of great uncer-
tainty, as the Gillian minister is absent and
the secretary of the legation is also away.
One of the attaches is Manuel del Campo,
the hero of the numerous riotous disturb
ances in the Washington theatres. 1t was
reported after these escapades that his miI-
lister had ordered him home, hut it appears
that the minister has not been here for some
time.
Del Campo is now the charge d'affaires,
the secretary of the legation, the military
secretary, the naval secretary, the master
of the seals, and, in fact, the Poo Bah of the
legation. He wrote Il vigorous note to him
self as charge d'atfaires, censuring himself
