milton has taken the wind out of the roy
alists' sails, and even the most rabid of
them Acknowledges that the cause of the
ex-queen is now dead. One prominent
royalist, who expresses the views of many,
said TO the Associated Press correspondent
last evening:
1.-THE recognition is complete. We
must acknowledge that fact. If the
royalist commission. consisting of Parker
Weidemann and Cummings had never
gone to Washington City the republic
would never have been recogn red. They
have ruined the queens cause as thor
oughly as though there had been q re-
quest from the queen for annexation"
The Schutzen Club. an organization
originally formed by German supporters
of the provisional government, has since
grown TO a large size. and has sent set of
resolutions to the government announcing
that If some of their members are not
gwen government positions at once the
club as a body will withdraw its support
from the powers that be. No answer has
been sent yet. and the matter will come up
in the council Thursday.
The first election under the republic will
be held during the last week in October,
when senators and representatives will he
elected. Every inducement is being
offered 20 make the natives register, and
they seem 10 be rapidly falling nto line.
