ANOTHER ATTEMPT PROBABLE.
The Conspirators For the Overthrow
OF President Heureaux Were Com
veyed to Monte Cristo by the Clyde
Line Steamer Fanita-Five Shot.
Cape Haytien, Hayti, June At APP
pears established beyond a doubt that
the reports Of an uprising in the re-
public Of Santo Domingo against the
power Of President Heureaux are cor
rect The initial blow was struck at
Monte Cristo, on the borders of Hayti,
the nearest Dominican port to Cape
Haytien, the revolutionists being trans
ported by the Clyde line steamer
Fanita.
1t would appear that the Fanita, in
stead of having on board only II
Dominicans. probably had $50 on board.
The Fanita arrived here on June /.
half empty, bringing from New York
provisions for the navy, which she
landed at Matthewtown, Great Inagua,
Bahama Islands. She slipped away
about 10 O'Clock the same night and
was to touch at Monte Cristo or at the
keys just outside, with the object, 1t
is alleged, of filing up the empty por-
ton of her hold
The captain of the Fanita said the
portion Of her cargo which was not
landed consisted of coal, but there was
good reason to suppose that it con-
sisted of something very different from
coal The suspicious of the Spanish
consul here were aroused. He de-
nounced the taking on board the
steamer of the Dominicans and the
sudden sailing Of the vessel without
notice and without the permission of
the Dominican consul. The Spanish
consul classes this as a great outrage
and as an act of piracy, and entered
formal protest with the Haytien au-
thorities.
General Juan Ysidro Jimines and
General Pablo vallaneuva are believed
to have been on board. The former
has long been in the public eye in Santo
Domingo as desirable man for the
presidency. General Villenueva fought
bravely against President Heureaux's
alleged usurpation and was exiled. He
has been living at Great Inagua for
some time past, and the Fanita Is said
to have stopped there in order to take
him on board.
According to the impression which
prevails at Cape Haytien the Fanita,
when she left here, had tried and
resolute body Of men on board and also
carried a heavy supply of arms and
ammunition. 1t is charged that she
skillfully worked up the impression that
she was engaged in an expedition to
Cuba, and was going to Monte Cristo
to take on more men.
The first advices received here stated
that the Fanita arrived at Monte Cristo
at o'clock Thursday afternoon, and
that the revolutionists had no difficulty
in taking the town. 1t was stated fur
ther that, under Generals Morales and
Villaneuva, they were marching on
Puerto Plata, while another detach-
ment was moving against Santiago de
Los Caballeres, the capital Of the Dom
inican government.
Yesterday afternoon the Dominican
consul here received dispatch from
President Heureaux saying that the at
tempted revolution at Monte Crsto had
been defeated, that General Jimines
fled at the first fire of the government
troops, taking refuge on board the
Fanita and that all the others who
landed, with the exception of three,
had been killed.
A correspondent at Puerto Plata ca
bles confirmation of the accounts of
the repulse Of the revolutionary party.
General Augustn Morales and Romi-
jio Buetz were killed. Five of the in
surgents were taken prisoners and shot
yesterday morning. The others escaped
in the steamer Fanita. President
Heureaux left the capital yesterday
with three men-of-war. The corre-
spondent, in concluding his dispatch,
says the revolutionary movement is re-
garded at Puerto Plata as of no con-
sequence, The Dominican consul here
reasserts positively that General Jim
inez escaped on the Fanita. He says
that had Jiminez been killed President
Heureaux would have been informed
of the fact.
But though the revolutionists have
been repused, it is believed another at
tempt will soon be made. The fact that
the Clyde company furnished the con-
spirators with a steamer is regarded
as very significant of the completeness
or the preparations ana the prospect
of their success, since the Clyde Steam
ship company's concessions is the most
valuable held under the Dominican gov
eminent.
President Heureaux is said to have
recently resumed the arbitrary execu-
ton of his opponents, sometimes open
, ly, sometimes stealthily. The tragic
disappearance of men Of political note
have been frequent of late in Dominica.
General Pablo Reyes is said to be
among the officers who have risen
against the president.
