1. New Latin American capital recalled old Roman province. Ans Lusitania. I can see us inside an anagram of latin but not the instruction to insert "us" inside the anagram -but even if correct, I can't account for the ia or the capital which I thought might be money.
2. Violent act -possibly due to power being seized. Ans coup d'etat. Is there any more to it other than a coup d'etat being a violent act whereby power is seized? If so , isn't this more of a straight clue?
3. Black military leader to prepare for another war. Ans Rearm. I can't see that Black =rear so I'm wondering if it is misprint for Back though if it is , given that it must have been in the paper , you would have thought the error would have been picked up.
4. List originally missing an elusive person. Ans eel. I can't think of any tiers or tilting that have an missing leaving is with eel .
