indies are twe republics in which the Am.

erican evil-doer is almost as securely safe.

One is Hayti, and the other is Santo Do

mingo. Both are usually so torn by rev

olutions that the existing government is

almost unrecognizable. In consequence,

both are favorite resorts for American ad

venturers and fugitives of the more enter

prising sort. One American who left

New Orleans inconspicuously because of a

little difference with the law rose to high

rank in the Haytian ax'r‘%v, and was evene

tually killed in a fight th revolutionists

on the Dominican border.

The littue republic of San Marino, in the

south of Europe, is another secure strong

hold for American fugitives. But it is so

small that the average ovil-doer does not

seek it out, for fear that he may toss in

his sleep and roll over its frontier into

Spain. And far to the eastward there is

Sarawak, in the East Indies, where an

Englishman holds forth as absolute mon

arch and every stray soldier of fortune is

welcome.

Were he to be a daring knave, an Am

erican fugitive might safely, at least from

American justice, in a dozen or more of

the queer nations of Central Asia—though

it is more than likely that the natives

would soon finish him. In Afghanistan

the Ameer would be glad to see him,

and in Beloochistan the rulers of the

state would treat him as a distinguished

visitor. In Tibet proper he would be un

der the eye of the Chinese authorities, but

outwardly Thibet is not Chinese territory,

and the treaties with China do not affect

it.

High up on the Central Asian tableland
