WASHINGTON. April t-(8pwll.)
This affair In San Domingo must coma to
head In very ahort order now. The sit
uation la so acuta that unless th t'nltel
State take the Initial lep towarda the
establishment of a stable government Ger
many will certainly Ho o." The above
waa uttered by an American naval officer
In flan Juan, I'orto Rico, one day last
week upon the arrival of hia ship In that
port. The eame Idea waa endorsed by
very other officer preaeftt.'
In the meantime the. president la absorb
ing Information ds to the existing condi
tions In the republic. On Tuesday last
there arrived In Washington a gentleman
direct from Han Domingo City. He brought
with him a whole trunk full of papera,
copiea of concession, decreea and other
official document of the Morales govern
ment. He also had with him an enormous
mass of data bear! as upon the political
and physical conditions In the republic.
This gentleman, ha had several confer
ences with the president and the secretary
of state. Tho administration has been
convinced for the . past three or four
months that American Interference la ab
solutely essential for the well being of the
Island. Haiti 'Is not quite so badly torn
up politically as her. sister republic, but
conditions on the eastern end have grown
steadily worse for the past year or more.
. There Is no more fertile Island In the
Carrlbean sea than that upon which the
republics, So railed, of Haiti and Ban Do
mingo are located and the United States
la directly Interested in maintaining peace
and order and the United States will do It.
But the prea.dent hesitates to take the
Initial step until he I thoroughly con
vinced that the people themselves are
unable to maintain a semblance of a stablo
government. The latest dispatches indi
cate that "Jimlne Is making his last
atand." " But Jlmlnes haa made his last
stand several time before. HI extin
guishment, complete and entire, has been
reported a many times as some celebra'-ed
opera singers have made their ftnaf ap
pearance before an, American audience,
Wos-yGIl Stilt Waves.
But even with Jlmlnes permanently elim
inated Morale will still' have his hands
full for Wo y Oil is actively engaged in
recruiting another "army" and at least
three other "generals" are preparing to
keep affair atirred up. Nothing but the
strong arm of a great power can restore
peace to the republic, which haa been in a
constant turmoil ever since it waa founded.
Assistant Secretary Loomla and Admiral
Dewey, who recently visited the. Islands of
the Carrlbean sea, are' both of the firm
opinion that the United State can do 4or
San DOmingu what wa don for Cuba,
ana mat wunout oiooasnea. They are
too -united In endorsing the statements
made by everyone who know anything of
the conditions, namely, that with a proper
government backed by the United States,
with an American electoral system, and
the establishment of schools. Ban Domingo
will within five years become one of the
most proline of the islands to the south
east of1 us Almost every tropical product
thrives In it fertile ' soil and it pro
ductive wealth In minerals and valuable
woods I unlimited. i ,
There I absolutely no thought In the
mind or the administration of annexing
the territory to the United State. Presl-1
dent Grant once, conceived that plan, but
It-was practically repudiated by congress.
President Roosevelt will not attempt to
accomplish what President Grant failed to
dp thirty year ago.
vAadltlnal Treasary Preraattoa.
... On complaint of the comptroller of the
currency, Secretary Shaw haa put a atop
to the manufacture of souvenirs of Wash
ington out of macerated currency. Sam
ple of the pulp of old bill were shown
Mr. Shaw In which were green places of
, bills, some of them half an ' Inch aquare
of more. It waft pointed out that a person
seeking to maka bogus money might pick
out these fragments, paste them together
and make a bill of thetnj also that there
wa danger that charter number which
bad not been ground up might be used by
counterfeiter.
iiitherto the macerated currency which
ha been used In making bust of Lin
coln. Grant and McKlnley familiar to visit
or to the national eapitol, and upon which
I usually found the expression, "Made
from a $600 bill," ha been ground In the
macerator at the' treasury. The apparatus
(s les perfect than the macerator at the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and to
avoid any chance of pasting scraps of the
bills together Secretary Shaw haa laaued
an order that no macerated currency shall
be allowed to go out of the treasury unless
It ha been 'macerated and bleached at the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing.

gatlon from two tatew-Rhod Island and
South Dakota he haa lost strength In
tates which have far more power In the
national convention. Unt'l the democrat
of Rhode Island declared for him the dem
ocrats leader In rongres were Inclined
to pay little or no attention to the "Hearst
boom." But now they realise that like a
certain patent medicine, Mr. Hearst "work
while they sleep:" Suddenly there bs
been an awakening and with the awaken
ing ha come vigor and energy. New Tork
state la the first to throw off th lethargy. I
Brooklyn and Buffalo were considered fer
tile fields for the Hearst boomers. But
In both the borough and the municipality
the fight haa been fought and won by the
Parker forces, and great satisfaction la
manifest In consequence. Then, too,
Geargla ha apparently fallen Into line,
and if the principal newspaper. enator
and member of that state are to be be
belleved a solid delegation will be ent to
St. Louis prepared to vote for the man
presented by the state of New Tork.
Mr. Hearst ha a political and literary
bureau here. He ha among his followers
many sincere, and able men; he also has
a small army of satellites whose Influence
may be great among the' Ignorant, but it
la not of such a character aa to attract
the support of the more Intelligent mem
bers of the party. There are today In
every labor center of the country mission
aries of Mr. Hearst, who are cowing the
seed of the Hearst creed In order that th
harvest of delegate may be great. Th
principal man In th Hearst literary bu
reau here point out that In' the last con
gressional campaign the democratic nomi

It Is erroneous to suppose that Mr. Hearst
I depending upon money to secure dele
gate. It Is true that he I under very
heavy expense, but It must be remembered
that John Sherman, Russell A. Alger and
Marcus A. Hanna adopted the very math
ods from 18T( to 1SHJ which Mr Hearst is
using today. Mr. Hearst has a line of
newspapers reaching from Boston to Ban
Francisco, in which appear every day
signed editorials, supposed to be the per-
onal writing of th presidential aspirant,
which apparently maka him out to W a
man with but on grand Idea and that the
amelioration of Jhe condition of the work'
Ingman. These newspaper ar widely
circulated and widely read. Th readers
at of the class which I affected by such
utterance. Mr. Hearst I looked upon by
the reader of hi publication a the friend
of the down-trodden, the poor and lowly,
and every expression printed on. the edi
torial page I regarded a hia personal ut
terance or his Innermost thought. Under
the circumstance it Is not urprlslng that
he should be regarded as tho. Moses who
Is destined to lead the worklngmen of the
land out of the bondage In which they be
lieve themselves to be.
It Is only recently that the democratic
leaders have awakened to a full realisation
of the fact that It Is- not money so much
aa sentiment that ia responsible for the
wonderful strength which the young man
from California haa. 'developed. But now
that the realisation has dawned there 1
more hustling among the "old line" and
conservative members of the party than
they have shown In the past eight years,
and with the poaltlon of New York known
It Is" not difficult to believe that from thl
time on there will be activity among dem
ocrat, other than the followers of William
Randolph Hearst, such as they have not
hitherto shown.
Mora Boom In Capitol.
For the past twenty jfear or more a few
senator and representatives have been try
lng to secure legislation to carry out the
Walters Idea of the extension of the cap!
tol building. Success I now assured.
It 1 not generally known that the mag
nificent dome of th atately structure I on
on aid Instead of being over the middle
of the building. Thl ia due to the faot
that In 18E1 congress adopted the plsn of
Thomaa U. Walter for the extension of the
capltol, under which the wings used as
the house and senate chambers wer. added,
Subsequently Mr. Walters erected the west
em addition go long used as th home of
the congreaslonal library. He also designed
an eastern extension which when com
pleted will "balance" the building, an
while bringing the east front of the main
tructure Into line with the two wing will
leave the dome where It ought to be over
the middle. . The Walter plan ha finally
been adopted and the sundry civil appro
priation bill will provide 1500,000 aa the first
portion of the post of the great work, which
win be) another long stride toward making
th capltol city beautiful, which President
Washington dreamed and which IEnfant
designed.
It Is a compliment to Mr, Elliott Woods,
the architect and superintendent of the
capltol, that congress haa paid In authorli
lng the work. Mr. Wooda rebuilt the old
Congreaslonal library. He Is now building
the . new office for the house - of repre
sentatlvea and so thoroughly haa he won
the confidence of the senate and the house
of representatives that His recommenda
tions are invariably followed and It is be
cause of the faith which they have In him
that congress Is giving him full authority
to carry out the plan of Arehtteot Walter,
who, like hi successor, Elliott Wood,
wa not a graduate of any recognised
architectural achool a fact which gtv

' Markanaea In the Wavy.
American gunners are the best marks
men In the world. We have alwaya known
this, but It haa been emphasised In the
first of the semi-annual prize firing target
practice now taking place off Pensacola,
Tla. The Kearsarge, which returned to
the naval rendeivoua after Its practice
early this week, made a new world' rec
ord, nearly every shot ffred by the Kear
aarge having counted, there being little
asted ammunition. The Alabama, not to
be outdone by the crew of It sister ship,
reached the rendesvou Wednesday with
till a greater record to It credit, the
officer of the big battleship Insisting that
when the percentages were figured out
by the target Inspector that they would
exceed those of the Kearsarge.
Admiral Barker, who Is In command of
the largest fleet of battleships ever as
sembled In time of peace, a fleet consist

Navy department. There la keen rivalry
between the commanders of the ships,
which Is shared by the crews and every
body connected with the practice Is on
edge ' to show the world what stuff an
American gunner Is made of. "They shoot
to hit and they hit.',' said Admiral Walker,
when he learned that the Alabama outshot
the Kearsarge. The naval expert' of Eu
rope are watching with the liveliest kind
of Interest the target practice of American
warships because since the battle of
Manila Bay and Santiago they have awak-
ned to the realisation that the marksman

When Mayor Weaver was actively en

as a lawyer he had much to do with col
lection cases, and one of these, In which
a client was active In running a dishonest
agent to earth, is of unusual Interest.
The mayor told' the story at a meeting
the other night. The client, who wus In
tho Jewelry line, heard by chance that a
man In Chicago had bought a pearl at a
low price and had, by "peeling" the gem,
removed a surface flaw, and. In conse
quence, had sold .the pearl at a big profit.
There' only one man In tha country
who la able to peel a pearl successfully,"
said the client, "and I am sure I know
him. Twelve yeara ago he gave me a

skipped. I am going to find out If It 1
