LATE PRESIDENT HEUREUX
One OF the Most Unique Figures in Latin
America.

General Heureux has been reported as
sassinated many times since he became
president of the republic of Santo Do
mingo in 1856 Now that he really Is
dead one of the most unique figures In
the history of the Latin American repub-
lies is gone
HeureuS's full title, which he used every
time he issued even the tniest decree, was
General OF Division Commander in Chief
of the National Army, Pactier of the
Country and Constitutional President of
the Republic"
1t was as "pacifier of the republic" that
he was best known by the people he gov
erned. He has spent large part of the
last thirteen years going about the island
quelling rebellions and shooting consplra-
tors. Ho has been the target of at least
fifty assassination plots, but he was such
a splendid fighter, able politician and keen
judge OF men that he invariably turned
the tables on his enemies by discovering
| their plans and having Them shot
HeureuX for years has been regarded as
the dictator of Santo Domingo. not mere
ly its president He was elected for the
fourth time in 1896, and his term would
not have expired until February u, 1901.
ANY one who made a serious effort to
rival him for the presidency was pretty
certain to be shot,

the west coast of San Domingo in 1916

1t is one of the recorded facts OF the
recent negotiations that NJ. Melne, VINO
is now attacking the new treaty. offered
far greater concessions than the present
ministry permitted to be inserted IN the
treaty as finally formed NJ. Meline was
at the head of the ministry during the
early stages of the reciprocity nesotla-

son received a proposition from the
French authorities that the minimum tar

American goods sent 10 France. This
proposition of the Meline cabinet stood
until two weeks 1go alth sgh new min
istry had come into power. The present
ministry decided. however. that the orig
inal offer of the Meline cabinet had gone
too far, and as a result a new proposition
was advanced two weeks ago, to omit from
the minimum list large number of agri
cultural products, such as leather, horses

he was 1G. Before he was 81 he was
commandant OF the district of Porto Plata,
and in the long war with Spain he served
continuously and with distinction from
1868 to 1874.
After that he mixed politics with SOL
dlering and was exied for two years III
mand to quell Spanish uprising. which
he accomplished with remarkable vigor
and rapidity.
His most active opponent when he first
ran for the presidency, in 1885. was Gem
eral Moya, who. upon being defeated
started n rebellion. General HeureuX took
the field and killed Moya and 100 of his
followers.
Heureux maintained his ascendancy
with an iron hand Whenever trouble
broke out in any part of the republic he
mounted his horse and rode pellmel to
the scene of disturbance. He did not go
as president, but as a soldier. He was
absolutely without fear and always in the
lead. On these campaigns he would travel
all day and half the night. sleeping a few
hours by the waysde,
In his numerous fights Heureux was
wounded many times. One arm was par
alyzed, the result of being struck with a
rife ball In battle.
He owed much of his power to the san

Table Lands Are Being Filled Up
with Lava.

Honolulu, July 81, via San Francisco,
July 2S.-The volcanic eruption OF Mauna
Loa is still in full blast. The lavo flow
is apparently filling up the tableland. Hilo
and the whole island of Hawaii are en-
veloped in smoke. Vessels encounter dense
clouds of smoke hundreds of miles out
at sea and navigators are seriously in
convenienced. Kilauoa is also smoking
freely and the indications are that this
volcano will soon be in active eruption.
Frank Davey has returned from n visit
to the volcano. He says there is a series
Of eight craters. Five Of them were dead,
but appeared to have been active quite
recently. One of the others was belching
forth smoke and fire and molten rocks of
great size. According to Davey the rocks
were as big as horses and went so high
that they cooled before falling to the
ground.
