WASHINGTON, D. c., August a.
Ham Is in a state of ferment, perhaps
from sympathy with the neighboring
state OF San Domingo. United States
Minister william Powell has cabled the
state department that the presence Of a
United states warship may be required
II present threatening conditions con-
tinue to insure the safety of the United
states legation and consulates.
The department is closely watching
deyelopments, and has been In commu-
nIcation with the navy department on
the subject, ready to dispatch orders at
short notice to Commanders Longneck-
er and Logan, of the New Orleans and
Machias, respectively. These vessels
are now at San Domingo. only half q
days sail from Port Au Prince and
win, 1t ls believed, be quite sufficient to
meet the minister's needs.
A special received from Havana
says;
General Jimlnez to-day displayed a
CipneE GautebAAht "AAAN@A
from an agent IN San Domingo. and
reading as follows;

answer when you arrive. Must be as
early as possible. FRANCO"
Jiminez has replied:

marty. Delay so as to avoid bloodshed.
Think present government. will retire
before them"
Iiminez declared he had $4,000 stand
OF arms in Cuba ready to be used. and q
Marty Of Americans in the United
states is prepared to sail at once.
When asked If he did not think the
United States would stop his expedition
he smiled and said:
"Has the United States enough YES
sells to spare to guard the entire coast
Of Cuba and the Isle of PinesP Never
fear, we viii have no trouble in sailing
ana we will sail soon"
JIminez is said to be backed by Go
meg and other prominent Cuban army
officers.
HAVANA. August s.-Genernl Juan
1sadro Jlminez, accompanied by six
cubans and four natives Of santo Do
rningo, is believed to have left here this
afternoon for the Dominican republic,
Il has not yet been ascertained how the
party left, but If. as 1t is thought. they
went on one of the Herrera line steam-
ers for the north coast. expecting to OBJ
tain a schooner at Nuevitas, they viii
probably be arrested or prevented from
continuing their journey.
General JImInez claimed to be Ill yes
terday, but the many visitors whom he
received this morning led to the belief
that the movement was on foot. One
thing only Is certain, and that is thai
he is gone, taking his baggage with
him, as did also his companions. The
authorities are making close Investi'
CATION to discover in which direction
the party went.
