In Charge Of tho Work.

The Rev. FIR. Charles Philip Morales,
brother of the late Gen. Morales.
whom President Heureaux caused to be
executed year ago, arrived here from
Santo Domingo about the first OF the
present month. Gen. Abeiardo A. Mos
coso, Dominican. who has resided in
this city several years lives at the
same hotel. The Messrs. Grullon. FIR.
Morales and Gen. Moscoso have had
several meetings, and are understood
TO be in charge OF the work which is
being done in This country in aid OF the
schemes of Gen. Jiminez.
Maximdllan G. Grullon has admitted
that meetings had been held since his
arrival here, but declared that II would
be improper for him 10 dvulge the ac-
tion that had been taken.
Adriano Grullon was almost equally
uncommunicative regarding the plans
OF the revolutionists though he was
willing to discuss the situation i'm Santo
Domingo and the objects which Gen.
Jiminez hopes to attain.
