ASPIRES TO Be A LIBERAT0R
ROMANTIC EXPLOITS OF MOS
CoSo OF SAN DOMINGO.
Now Organizing a Conspiracy Among
Dominican Exiles to Overthrow
President Eereaux.

New York. Oct. 2L-The Journal and
Advertiser says: Efforts to crystalize
the opposition TO President Hereaux of
San Domingo, the Spanish speaking
republican that shares with the French
Indian island Of Hayti. into a revolu-
ton, are said to be nearing completion
in this city.
The leader Of the movement in New
York is given as Moscoso, who arrived
here last July, and is said TO have been
constantly busy ever since with secret
meetings With the purpose in view. He
is one OF HereauX S implacable foes and
his friends here declare that he is 80
most available man TO lead a revolt
against the Dominican ruler.
Moscoso was long ago recognized by
HereauX as q dangerous man, and Her
eauX was scheming TO put him in prison
and thus get him where he could not
endanger the administration, when
0IogcoSo got wind of his intention and
promptly skipped out Of the country.
He went to the neighboring island of
Porto Rico the usual refuge of DOM
iniean eXiles, and was nearly assassin
ated there shortly after. Moscoso' S
friends openly declare their belief that

fecung his plans to return secretly 70

which HereauX wanted to prevent by
any means. MOscoso's assailantS in
Pence, Porto Rico, came very near kill
ing him. He was taken unawares and
stabbed once before he realized his
danger, and then managed TO escape
only because one Of the men thinking
a fatal blow had been struck ran away
and the other was too scared and he
wildeUed at the tight of his companion
TO follow up the attack.
Moscoso is barely 35 years of age
He Was educated in this country and
speaks languages with huency. His
personal bravery is eXtolled as highly
a. his mental accomplishments. and
his following at home is declared to
be large and enthusiastic
Dominican eXiIes are not numerous in
New York, but they make up in deter
minati0n what they lack in numbers
They declare they mean TO stake their
all in the Moscoso movement, and bas-
ing their hopes on recent adVices from
Porto Plata, Santa. Domingos chief
seaport, are confident that it viii be
successful.

A RESURRECTION.

'tAh. Love is dead"
She said:
Flown through the open door!
Never more
While the sad winds blow
And the sad brooks flow.
Shall there be
For me
The old, sweet, happy thrill
Joy has fed
And the world IS dark and still.
For Love is dead"
She heard a sigh,
Sweet and loWi
Her heart beat high,
She forgot her woe,
And the glad wind blew.
And the sun burst through
The darkness fled.
And then
She looked with JOY
On the laughing boy
For Love had come to life again!
