Another Way of Changing.

The assassination Of President faceres
OF the St Dominion republic by political
enemies marks another milestone il the tur-
bulent republics OF the south sea islands,
which seem compelled to undergo reyola'
ton periodically. The Caceres government
has lasted four years; which is a remarkably
long time for any government in that sec
ton Of the world The day will yet come
when all of those contending little republics
will be taken under the protecting fold OF
the United States, and it will be a gracious
act when it will have been done.

had purchased about $4,000 worth. His
