Miller uag the reputation of not knowing ‘ear or indiscretion. His job is to see that the President has the comfort of assured bodily safety. Nothing else interests him. He sits at the Presi- dent's table, tastes his drinks and his rood, emoles his cigars and cigar- tea, and acts exactly as though he were one of the President’s’own quiet, well-bred family.

He regretted very much that poor Cacos had blindly followed lead- ers into revolts which cost the lives of many of them, citizens who might have become useful and energetic workers for a peaceful, seli-governing Hayti. ‘The President showed courteous im- patience with a suggestion that not all of the, thinking and patriotic Haytians were reconciled to the Occu- pation, its ofticiais and their attitude toward their duties, Talk to thee trary was but idie street go intimated, such as might be from the party out of power in any capital.
