HERALD's words: there will be such
raking over of the Republican Goals as will
make the ashes fly in every direction.

and oppression of the Jews and misrepre-
sent the true state OF affairs there in their
reports to the home government Also
what aid and assistance was given to the
BALMAcEDA dictetors through the kind
offices of Minister EGAN, II any. Likewise
and especially, why the seal fisheries of
