Indies are twp republics in which the

American evildoer is almost as securely

safe. One is Haiti and the other Is Santi

Domingo. Both are usually so torn by

revolutions that the existing government

is almost unrecognizable. In consequence,

both are favorite resorts for American ad

venturers and fugitives of the more enter

Orleans Inconspicuously because of a little

difference wit the law rose to high rank

in the Hp t' n army, and was eventually

killed in fight with revolutionists on the

Dominican border.

south of Europe, is another secure strong

hold for American fugitives. But It is so

small that the average evildoer 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.

of the Chinese authorities, but outwardly

Tibet Is not Chinese territory, and the

treaties with China do not affect it.
