The authorities were eurpriserl to-

workmen, who repudiate them.
There is little doubt that some
pretense of granting concessio;rs will
be approveed even by the reaction-
aries, as they realize that the coun-
try cannot be ruled by bayonets

be made to gait' some degree of

more secure. 'The delay had also
been caused 'partly by the work be-
