worst on account of the soil the upper
portion can be prosecuted with much
better progress.

in the criminal court upon the charges
of impersonating an officer, carrying
concealed weapons and exhibiting a

knowing at first hand the exact con-

of 55 per cent of the receipts for the
benefit of the republics creditors.
Mr. Pulliam was able to report that
conditions were very favorable in Santo
Domingo; that absolute peace pre-

urgency in the financial situation as
would require the immediate floating

his constant application to the difficult
task Of bringing said province to condi-
ton Of peace" and pray that he be given
an Office in the Philippine commission ''in
the certainty that by reason Of his spe-

Gov. Curry and his administration in the
Philippine Islands.
Since his return to this country Capt.
Curry has been appointed governor of the
territory Of New Mexico and now holds
that office. In view of the fact that the
climate of the Philippines does not agree
with his health 1t is hardly likely that he
will comply with the appeal Of the people
of Samar that he return to the Philip
pines.
