Distress in santo Domingo.

PORTE PLATA, San Domingo, Sept.
15.-Serious results may come from
the widespread commercial panic
that exists in this country. Public
discomfort has attained such force
that the situation OF the present
Government is critical.
The trouble has been accu-
mulating for more than a month,
and is laid at the door of the finan-
cial system of The country. Ex-
change on New York has been gra-
dually rising, and the increase in a
month has been more than 100 per-
cent. This has caused great dis.
tress throughout the island Cuts
in wages have been made in many
instances, and these have caused
strikes. Every effort is being made
to avert disaster.

ton Of the War.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15,-The State
Department to-day gave out the fol-
lowing concerning the discussion
to-day between the members OF the
Cabinet and the Peace Commits.
sion:
The members OF the Peace Com
mission, with the exception Of
Senator Gray, whose absence was
due to his inability to withdraw as
counsel 10 case in which he en-
gagged some time before his appoint.
ment as one OF the Peace Commits
sioners, have spent the greater part
of yesterday and to-day in a free
discussion of the duties with the
discharge OF which they have been
intrusted by the President. Senator
Gray is expected during the even
ing, and before sailing will have a
full conference with the President
and his associates.
While, for obvious reasons, it was
determined that the nature of the
instructions as to the negotiations
about to be entered upon should for
the present be kept secret and made
known only after definite results
shall have been reached, it is posi-
BILE to state authoritatively that the
commission goes to Paris fully pre-
pared to follow a course OF action
mapped out for it as the result Of
the consultations of the last two
days.
At the very outset it will be made
clear to the Spanish com missioners
that, as in the case of the prelimi-
nary protocol, there can be no de-
Walton from or modification of the
demands made by the United States.
The decision arrived at by the
President, after full consultation
with the members of the commits
sion, subsequently received the
cordial aud unanimous approval OF
the Cabinet at a meeting held this
afternoon.
AS previously announced, the COM
mission sails from New York on the
Campania at 2 o'clock Saturday
| afternoon.

THE cUBANS.
They Clamor for Absolute INDIE
pendence.

Special Dispatch to The Call.
HAVANA, Sept. l5.-The predomi-
nant feature Of the situation is the
feverish and widespread agitation of
the Cubaus in favor OF the absolute
independence of the island at all
cost
Manilestoes are being circulated
inviting the cooperation OF the
Spanish residents aud merchants to
this end, and pointing out that
either annexation or an American
protectorate would mean death to
all trade with Spain in a couple of
years.
General Maxine Gomez, who only
a fortnight ago gave expression to
extremely moderate views, counsel
ing harmony and patience, now ex-
presses himself as strongly in favor
of absolute independence or nothing.
How far the influence of the party
agitating for Cuban independence
may extend it is at present difficult
to estimate, but the fact is its agents
are working like beavers.
This vionlent impetusl given to
the agitation for independence is
the result, apparently, of the arrival
of the Resolute, or, rather, of the ar.
rival Of Mr.. Porter and the examina-
tion he is making into tariffs, NUM-
cipal taxation and other matters of
international government which
Cubans had expected to handle and
administer themselves.
One reason why many Spaniards
who at first favored annexation have
now changed their opinion is that
they fear the competition Of Amer
lean rivals as store-keepers, hotel
managers and restaurant. keepers.
Exactly the same spirit prevails
among the planters, especially the
smaller ones, who had hoped to sell
at good prices the old French and
Belgian machinery for which they
paid dear and imported under ex-
cessiye duties. They realize that
the American machinery, much
cheaper and paying practically no
duties, will establish large central
market, close theirs and push them
to the wall.

The friends Of Captain SIgshes. the
pressing some lhastness about his con-
dition The newspaper correspondents
who are being brought almost In daily
contact with him say that It Will be
Il wonder II he does not collapse be-
fore the Investigation now going on is
completed, and the public, without ex
ception, joins in the hope that the friends
'of the officer are mistaken. They say,
however, that his face and actions show
the effects of the terrible strain through
which he has passed since he lost his
ship. and the fear Is that even If he
keeps up through the investigation Of
the disaster, that he will be unable to
continue so after he is removed from
the excitement which now surrounds
him. The country would regret to hear
of any further misfortune to Captain
Sigsbce. His conduct, from the moment
he discovered that something was
wrong with the Maine on that dreadful
night when she was blown up, to the
present hour, has been that of manly
man, and the sympathies OF the great
American public goes out to him in his
misfortune. One of the greatest mis-
fortunes that can 5efall a commander
Is the loss loss OF his ship, but In Cap
tain Sigsbec's case 1t is doubly great,
In this, that along with the going down
of his ship came the death. without

FACTS TO BE REMEMBERKD.

In the bcwildering floodtide of sen

which have been sent out through tn,
country since the blowing up of tn,
batteship Maine. there are som,
Things which every thoughtful either
should remember, and on this line tn
following. from the Philadelphia Times
about fills the bill:
u. That neither the Government
at Washington, nor the newspaper
press, nor any other individuals.
have knowledge Of the testimony,
taken before the board Of inquiry
now investigating the cause of the
disaster to the war vessel Maine,
outside Of the members of the board
themselves.
"2. That the public have had from
the administration each day all in
formation on the subject that the
Government has received. Every
important item of information that
has been received by the Navy De-
partment from Havana has been
properly furnished to the public
through the press
3. That until the board Of in
Iuiry shall have made known its
Judgment, neither the President nor
the public will have any knowledge
OF the character of the report that
Is TO be made.
=. I'hat the report of the board,
OF inquiry will certainly not be
concluded for several days and
may not be furnished to the Sec
retary OF the Navy for week or
more.
IS. That naval boards are gov
erned by laws which make them
entirely independent even of the
appointing power, as to the COM
munlcat!on of any information re-
ceived before final judgment is
reached.
g. That all newspaper dispatches
assuming to give information as to
evidence presented to the board Of
inquiry. or as TO the views of an(
member Of the board relating to
The destruction Of the Maine, are
either wholly false inventions or
reckless assumptions without any
substantial basis Of truth what
ever.
81. That the Government is ex-
haustively preparing for war, not
because war is expected. but as the
surest method of preserving peace
between the nations
IS. That If Spain has given this
Government any just cause for
war, or shall hereafter give it lust
cause for war, 1t will be promptly
accepted and the dignity and honor
of the nation heroically maintain

CONCENTRATING HER NAVY,

News comes from Madrid that Spain
command in Cuban waters, and that
squadron left Cadiz Monday for Ha-
yana. They say that the Spanish Gov
eminent has reached the conclusion
that 1t had better be prepared in the
event Of O conflict with this country
than to wait until hostilities are COM
menced. and, therefore, ali the ships
that she can get together will be for
~urded to Cuban waters without de-
lay. The Pittsburg Post, in comment
ing upon this, advances the opinion
that "as the United States Is gather
Ing its naval strength within a few
hours sail OF the island, at Key West
and Barbados, it Is plain the heads
of both Governments are looking to
the possibilities Of u conflict. We pre-
sumo" it says, that the United States
will have in Cuban waters the most
guns and the greater number of ships
Our navy Is making a more formda-
BILE showing as it concentrates than
most people Judged to be possible"
Continuing, 1t adds that ''in addition
the Government has right TO the SER
vices OF the four great steamers of the
American line. For transport service,
say between Florida and the Cuban
coast. these mammoth ocean grey
hounds would be invaluable. Each OF
them could easily carry two or three
thousand soldiers for this short dis
lance. An dispatches agree that the
situation is considered very grave at
Havana. The scheme Of autonomy,
now in its earlier stages, is believed to
be predestined to failure, and Cubans
and Spaniards are solicitous 10 know
what will be the next move of the
United States in that event."
