tending back about year. but during

prior to the revolution it had been i'm

dictator. The American provisional
governor, Charles Il. Ma COON, has done
all that it was possible for him to do
to prevent q recurrence of this state of

have already been declared dictatoriai
by the congressman, and an attempt
undoubtedly soon will be made to re-

discussing an increase in their salaries,
