Hernandez, the new minister of the

were fought last week, the govern
ment as usual announcing victories.
These, and allied leaders, have been
making successful raids on small out
posts, managing for the most part to
evade encounters with superior forces.
The rich country virtually is at their
mercy and the Federal forces are able
to accomplish little more than garri-
son the larger towns.
