The confirmation of the reported recos-

Royalists. and the most rapLl OF o onei,,

who expresses the views of many, SAID.
"The recognition Is complete we must
acknowledge that fact. But If the Roy
alist commission, consisting OF farket,
Widemann and CUMMINGS. had never
gone TO Washington. the Republic would
never have been recognized. They nave
ruined the Queens cause as Thoroughly
as il they had taken a request from the
Queen for annexation. -

the government camp. In spite OF the
recognition news The Schutzen Club, an
organization originally formed by Ger
man supporters of the provisional gov
eminent but which has since grown 10
large size and taken IN all Municipalities,
has sent a set OF resolutions 10 the gov
eminent. announcing that II some OF
their members are not given government
positions at once the club, as a body, Will
Withdraw It's support from the powers
that be No answer has been sent yet,
and the matter will come up IN the coun-
ellis Thursday.

tober. when senators and representatives.
will be elected. Every inducement Is be-
ing offered 10 make the natives register,
and they seem to be rapidly falling into
line.
