progress in the Amsterdam and Rot

The possibility of an extraordinary

that shoes which Dutch dealers had
dissected and derisively displayed in
their windows to show the poor quail
ity were not American but German,

public that American shoes were Of

to be of excellent quality. The pr iccs

Mr.. Jenkins's letter was dated No

authorities of the State of Fuebla on
charges of collusion in connection with
his abduction and subsequent ransom

not wise to determine the government g
course of action, but the United States
would take very means to obtain re-
