The information Of the recognition OF
the republic has destroyed the hopes OF
the royalists. and the most rabid OF
them acknowledge that the cause OF the
ex-queen Is now dead, One prominent
royalist. who expresses the views of
many, said TO the Associated Press cor
| respondent last evening: The recogni-
ton Is complete. We must acknowledge
| that fact. But III the royalist commits
| sion, consisting OF Parker. Wideman and
| Cummings, had never gone TO Washing
| ton the republic would never have been
recognized. They have ruined the
| queens cause az thoroughly as If they
| had taken request from the queen for
annexation"
Slight trouble seems to be brewing in
the government camp. In spite Of the
| recognition news. The Schutzen club.
| an organization originally formed by
| German supporters OF the provisional
| government. but which has since grown
/ TO a large size and taken in al nationali-
| ties. has sent set Of resolutions TO the
| government, announcing that II some OF
their members are not given government
positions at once the club as a body viii
| Withdraw its support from the powers
| that be. No answer has been sent vet
| and the matter Will come up IN the cOun-
| ellis Thursday. The first election under
| the republic Will be he'd during the last
| week In October. when senators and rep
| resentatives Will be elected Every In
| ducement Is being offered 10 make the
! natives register. and they seem to be
rapidly falling into line.
