The mystery surrounding the movements
OF the Clyde steamer Fanlta are now said
to be fully explained 1t appears estab-
lished beyond a doubt that the reports
OF an uprising in Santo Domingo against
the power Of President Hureaux are cor
rect. The initial blow was struck at
Monte Cristo on the borders of Hayti,
the nearest Dominican port to Cape Hay
ten. It would appear that the Fanita,
instead Of having on board only seventeen
Dominicans, probably had $50 on board.
The Fanita arrived here on June l. half
empty. bringing from New York provis-
ions for the navy, which she landed at
Matthewtown, Bahama Islands. She
slipped away about l O'Clock the same
night and was 10 touch at Monte Cristo or
at the keys just. outside, with the object,
it was alleged, Of filing up the empty por-
ton Of her hold. She had on board Chris
Roberts, the most famous pilot of the
West Indies 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 con-
sui here were aroused. He denounced the
taking on board the steamer of the Domin-
leans and the sudden sailing Of the YES
sci without notice and t.e permission Of
the Dominican consul. The Spanish con-

hold Of the Fanita, so as to escape atten-
ton.
General Juan Ysidro Jeminez and Cen
eral Pablo Villanueva are believed to have
been on board. 1t Is also noted that the
former has long been in the public eye
IN Santo Domingo as a desirable man for
the presidency. General Villanueva fougA.

been living in Great Inagua for some time
past and the Fanita is said to nave

The preparations for the revolution are
said to have been very elaborate and
there is a strong belief here that the rev.
olutionlsts are sure of success, but on the
other hand the Dominican consul here
says he has a report that the revolution
lists have been defeated at Monte Crlsto.
The report is general believed.

body Of men on board and also carried
a heavy supply of arms and ammunition.
Il is charged that she skillfully worked
up the impression that she was engaged
in an expedition to Cuba and was going
to Monte Crsto 10 take on more men.
The advices received here on the subject
say the Fanita arrived at Monte Cristo
at 3 O'clock yesterday afternoon and that
