' mild and iiitlt. Consul linthr protested
to thaliOcal authoriIies and notified
Minister Squicrs. The minister called
today. on President Palma, and made
"presentations to the effect that the
outages authmities should not con-
. “tut themselves with an apology. but
should apptchend and punish the pet
ratora of the insult. The President
. d be deeply regretted the incident.
j and added that he and Secretary of
State and Justice Zaldo would issuc
directions that all the culprits be ur-
Icsted and punished.
Al though all other reports agree in
paying that the. situation at (‘ienfue-
. goo is critical. those received by the
[Invernment from the mayor of that
placa. persist in the reiteration that
I, the riotous doings of January 28 were.
nothing beyond a fight between drunk-
, on men. that no shots were fired and
thumb is quiet at present.

the government to remove the. mayor

This last play was the only creation

take to my bed. i bought a dozen pen-

half dozen pads and wrote the whole
play while lying flat on my back."
