The provisional government considers
Minister Wills remarks - significant.
and from other information obtained l.
10 the general belief among Americans
that United States profectOrate will be
shortly established over the prov isionai
government; with the understanding that
q staple form, Of government br organized
Hereunder within u limited period. Min
lister Willis delay in action. coupled with
his refusal to divul.e or even hint a. Off
cia!ly. what the policy Of the United States
IN to be has caused the political strain
to become very great on both sides. As a
consequence rumors are thick. The gov
ernment has also in consequence
been on the lookout for the past
few days for the threatened attempts Of
che royalists to seize tine executive build
inR under the theory that II they could
hold u now the United States would sup
port them n. the existing government.
Some Of the leading royalists deny that
any such attempted has been conteui-
plated. though others remain silent when
questiouesl- In consequence Of the
strained condition ~ affairs an extra guard
u sharpshooters was stationed in the ex.
ecutive building and will t,e continued
there with the regular troops. A. = fur.
shsr prvcaution the government issued
thirty rounds Of extra ammunition to each
member Of the Citizens Reserve guard.
