Rio JASEmo, March - Tho air horc
Is alive with rumprs. Tho people are
saying now that II is the intention ofthe
provincial government To annuI the de.
cree conyOkingtheco constituent assembly,
and to prolong the dictatorship i've
years.
At dinner some days ago the minis
ter Of war alluded to this report. The
people, he said, shuuld not Insult the
government and army by circulating
such rumurs. Neither In the govern.
mcnt nor the army was there any ono
who desired bauehl supremacy Of the
sword. What the memDei ot the GOV
crnment most earnestly desired was TO
return as soon as possible to- private life.
As to him self, no iuducomont could be
sufficient TO reconcile linn To remaining
permanently in the place ho now oc-
cupicd.
The minister has since published u
card, stating that his speech was not cor.
