PAPER MONEY IN san DOHINGO.

PLANS FOR AN Election.
San Domingo. Sept. 1.-THE Governments
PROCLAMATION OF yesterday destroying the value

that the Ministers this afternoon proclaimed the
acceptance Of paper at the same rates as silver
namely 81 to 81 in American money. This con-
ces sion was made by Jiminez, who proposed re-
pudiatng paper money.
The Cabinet is discussing the feasibility OF
holding the Presidential election Immediately.

Constitution. and It will probably announce to-
morrow that the election is to take place this
month. as Jiminez Is the only candidate.
The threatened riots have not taken place.
