Deathbed Insurance-Hew It Was Car
 ried On i'm the State.
 HARR1sBURG, Aug. 21.-Statements having been made by officers of deathbed insurance companies in this State that Governor Hoyt had control of policies on the lives of old people representing $1OO, 900, and that other State officials had also invested largely in this business, the Governor was asked by your correspondent to-day what foundation there was for these allegations. He replied that any such statement was lie, and added that he had never had but one opinion of these companies, and that was that they were swindlers morally and mathematically. He had not only entertained this view of them, but had informed number of persons who had written to him concerning these companies that they were swindlers. This is also said to be the opinion of the Attorney General, who is represented by insurance officers to be largely interested in speculative risks, and the Insurance commissioner. The latter of ficial for time refused to approve titles of these companies, and being much berated for his action he app ealed to the Attorney General TOT an oplnon, WHICH WAS to tAe eneeV ens' the insurance commissioner, under the law. could not withhold his approval The govern or says that he would not grant charter to any of the swindling companies but for the mandatory requirements of the statute on that subject An effort was made at the re- cent session of the legislature to pass law to break up the base speculation in human lives, but the opponents of it, by the use of the most disreputable means, defeated It.. Among the men working against 1t was a member of the legislature who has invested $15O, GOO on the lives of persons expected soon to die. The defeat of this bill gave a | new impetus to the organization of these | companies, and to-day there are over two | hundred in the State, with no prospect of a l diminution of the number It IS evident l that the names of Governor Hoyt and other officials have been associated with these com panies as an advertisement to prosper their | h1,ciraacS

Revolution in the Island of Dominfca.
 HAVANA, Aug. 21.-Advices from St. Do- mingo to the Fist inst. state that on the morning of July g emissaries of the govern ment discovered the hiding place of Generals Ramon Perez and Julio Frias, and three wounded officers belonging to the party of General Alvarez On the afternoon of the same day all were shot in the cemetery of San Domingo city. notwithstanding the inter- cession of the diplomatic corps and the ec- clesiastical body. An immense crowd wit messed the execution from the fortress walls. On the 2d of August the diplomatic corps again asked in vain for the pardon of nine more of the adherents of Alvarez who had been condemned to be shot, and eight of the number had been shot on that day. It is re- ported from San Cristoba1 that twenty eight men had landed with ex-President Guillermo on the eastern coast of San Domingo, and that troops were sent to capture them. The Spaniards in San Domingo, fearing insults because GuiIlermo had started from Porto Rico, wish their government to send war steamer for their protection. The fact is that General Luceron hates the Spaniards, while Guillermo faYors them.
