expires the count hopes a pardon will
reach him. Influential friends have been
at work for this pardon.
The family OF the man who was killed in
the duel has become extinct. and opposi-
tion, which was vigorously maintained
while the members Of the family we're
alive. has disappeared. One of Count yon
Larisch's friends who has been Jealous in
his behalf visited him about a week ago
and told him to be ready for a pardon at
any time. The count is prepared to report

General Lawton is right, of course, about
the impracticability of holding all the

he is probably right in his estimate of a

the experience of Spain in the Philippines
and in Cuba. But it is not necessary that
we should hold all the towns. The expert
