as their Governor of men of the stamp of the late Rajah 
BROOKE of Sarawak, and of Mr. Smith of Scilly. If 
none such can be secured, then says Mr. FROUDE ' even 
a Sancho Panza would do.' Here he draws the line. 
At all events he does not propose that SANCHO Panza'S 
Master shall govern Dominica. Evidently Mr. FROUDE 
does not himself contemplate putting into practice the

FROUDE had assured Chief Justice REEVES of Barbados 
that he was going to Hayti to learn what he could, on the
