re you leaving the country while you

answered as follows:
"My departure from the national
territory has no other cause than to
leave the new government an ample
field for action. I also believe my
continuance here would give rise to
conjectures which would result in
prejudicing the proceedings of the
new government. I declare to the

always followed had no other object
than my heartiest desire for the pa
cification of the country."

and Ice caves of that section. This
section of the country came Into
prominence during the historical Mo

theBe cruBts it is believed by Camp

are permeated with deep Ravines,
crevices and fissures. The present
plan Is to dig into these channels and
thus connect up the lake so that it
will drain into the lava beds.
