WARsHIPs FOR SAN DOMINGO
The New ozIs2.s and the AEachIas Or
dsred to the Island

The New OrIsazs and the AEael,Ias Or
dsred to the Island
WASHINGTON, July 90 Secretary
Long has sent telegraphic orders to
the cruiser New Orleans at Newport
directing that she proceed at once to
San Domingo. At the same time an
order was sent to the gun boat Ma
chias at st. Thomas to leave for San
Domingo
This action was not due to the re-
ceipt OF any official advices indicating
possible trouble, but entirely to the
desire to be forehanded in des2ing
with any possible disturbance.
By the assassination of President
Heureaux of San Domingo Cuba may
lose one OF its central figures, as it is
well known that General Maxine
Gomez aspires to the presidency of
the black republic.
While little is known of President
Figuerreo, few persons believe he can
maintain peace, as there are pro-
nounced signs of a revolution brew
ing. With third candidate in the
field in the person of Juan Isadore
Jiminez, it Is said this will not pro-
mote tranquility, and judging from
the past history of General Gomez,
many believe he will next be heard of
as president of San Domingo. It is
thought large number of Cubans
would follow General Gomez to San
Domingo and again take up arms I'M

for the science increased. Shortly
afterward he was discovered by Sam
uel Smiles, who, surprised by his great
width of knowledge and mastery Of de-
tail, biographed him in one of his
books. From this time he became fam
Gus as 'fthe railway astronomer" and
besides writing occasional notes for
one or two of the scientific magazines
and the local papers he was appointed
local observer of meteorology for the
Meteorological Magazine and CORE
sponded with such distinguished men
as DR.. Copeland, DR.. Herschel, R. A.
Proctor and others. He receives all
the Dunecht circulars and is always
invited to the platform when DR.. Ball
lectures in Dundee. Many eminent
scientists have presented him with
copies of their works and he especially
values Herschel's Outlines of AS
tronomy'' and his Treatise on As
tronomy," GuiIlemin's The Heavens"
and J. Norman Lockyer's Solar Phys
ics.' Curiously enough, John, who is
now on the borders OF the allotted
span, has never sought to change his
social position, although he has had
abundant opportunity. But in Johns
opinion the chance of change came too
late. Had been q younger man." ne
once remarked to the writer, cit might
have been different When Mr. Kempt
of the railway company sent for me to
Glasgow one day and made me an offer
of the kind, could only thank him for
his consideration and good will. You
see, were I to shift now, 1 might be the
round man in the square hole" And
so John remains at his humble post
and repeats his familiar daily cry

form cry between Euston and Aberdeen

Blairgowrie. Then, to quote from
some verses which appeared in a New
York paper nearly twenty-five years
ago:

night
Has drawn the curtains Of our sight,
Johns watchful eyes become more
bright,
And TAX anither glover aye
Thro' yon blue dome of sparkling stars,
Where Venus bright and ruddy Mars
Shine down upon Blairgowrie.
''He kens each jinkin' comets track,
And when it's likely to come back,
When they have tails and when they

In heaven the waggish power aye;
Where Jupiter's belt buckle hings,
And the Pyx mark on Saturn's rings,
He SEES from near Blairgowrie.
