had three places of meeting, at different

Americans have suffered considerably
by this disturbance. Although the
fighting was confined to the interior,
it was impossible on the coast TO get
labOrers to work. If one did succeed in
getting little gang together and at work
the first thing you knew some soldiers
came along and pressed them into SER
vice. Crops are greatly behind, and there
are possibilities thatthe export taxes may
be increased to pay the expenses of the
revolution. Thus 1t may be that the for
elgners, who are the only active traders
or producers in the country, will have to
pay the costs OF revolution in which
they had nothing else to look forward to,
no matter which side won.
Gen. HerreuX is a man about 40 years
of age, negro, with slightly Jewish

gradually pushed himself on from one
place to another until now he is despot or
dictator, and holds absolute power over
the government at Santo Domingo. Upon
parade and state occasions he wears a

most important seaport towns in the
