dated January %, announces the departure
of the Columbia for Macoris. II ls sup

tween here and San Domingo, all cable
grams for the last few days having been
DELAYED in transmission by several days.
There is growing belief in official cir

chaos there 1t will not be surprising 1or

call the attention of this government OF
ficia1lv to the situation with view to ar
rixrinS at permanent solution of the
