Then I used some pretty strong adjectives, ‘cowardly,’ and ‘ungentlemanly’ and other things I don’t care to repeat here. In justice to the mayor I wish to say that he admitted that it was unfair to give out the letters.” “Did the mayor ever Instruct you to appoint in numerical order ?* Mr. Crop- sey was asked. 3 “He did not,” was the reply. “A he had I would have quit the job."

Officlals here believe, how- ever, that when made aware of the determination of the United States government the rebels will offer no re- sistance and that it may even be found necessary to disembark the marines, But if there should be any sign of re- sistance, the force will be landed on ‘the north ang south coasis and march- ed directly inland- over the wagon- roads and trails, for there are no rail- roads In that section, to the customs houses. Besides the marines who will go on the Prairie, perhaps 150 men, bluejackets and marines, may be taken from the gunboat Wheeling, now in Dominican waters, in case of need, and it is sald, at the navy de; ent, that more naval vessels will be sent to Dominican waters at any moment the state department may desire.
