missioners calling attention to the decree pub
lished yesterday in the Gaceta 0fcidl by Senior
DOLE. Secretary of Public Works. calling for

templates the extension Of the line to Santiago.
Sehor Dolz says that his decree. despite the
protests Of the American Commissioner. Is per-
fectly lawful. as the treaty OF peace has not yet
been signed In Paris and he is therefore. de

concession. its members believing that tho
United States will not change the civil admin
i~stration here and that the concession will hold
good after the Americans are in control.
