American authorities In giving tho

should do this and It is also asserted
that IL the bank collects Spanish dues it
should also liquidate Spanish obligar

it tends to anarchy. They declare that
each provincial governor and each gar
rison commander is military dictator
acting independently of the governor
general and exercising administrative,
