tim Of a Political Plot.
TO ATTACK GOVERNMENT TROOPS

The Assnssin's Party said to BE Gath
ering Forces For II Conflict = One
of the Assasslns the Brother of a
Deputy.
Cape Haitien, July 2S.-Details of the
murder of President Heureaux of Santc
Domingo received here are to the ef'
feet that he was assassinated as he
was about to leave on horseback fol
Santiago de Las Caballeros. The as
sassin. Ramon Caceres, surrounded by
several accomplices. approached the
president as he was talking with some
friends, and fired twice with revolver.
The first bullet struck the president
in the left side and penetrated the
heart. causing instant death. The
second killed an old man who was
standing near the president.
The assassin and his accomplices
then fed to avoid the shots fired at
them by the presidents friends. 1t is
not known whether any of them were
wounded.
The body of the president was taken
to the palace of the governor of Moca.
President Heureaux's death has
caused a panic. 1t is said that one
Juan Isidoro Jimenes, who took part
in the attempted insurrection of June,
1898, is a candidate for the presidency
1t is reported that General Maxine
Gomez, former president of the Cuban
insurrectionists, who is native OF
Santo Domingo, also aspires to the
presidency.
Vice President Figuereo, who as
sumes the presidential functions, act
ing with the ministers, has informed
the widow of President Heureaux that
the body of her husband will be in
tered at Santiago de Las Caballeros,
and orders for the carrying out of this
plan have been given to the governor
of Santiago. 1t is currently reported
that this course was decided upon in
order to avoid the excitement and
manifestations which would be the re-
suit of the removal of the remains to
the city of Santo Domingo.

turbances and In order to be prepared
for any emergency, General Popin,
governor of Santiago, has taken i'm
portant precautionary measures and
has decided to demand that arms and
ammunition be forwarded to him from
Santo Domingo.
The governor of Santiago confirms
the general opinion that the assassina-
tion of President Heureaux was po-
litical crime. 1t is reported that the
assassin's party are gathering forces
preparatory to an attack on the gov
ernment troops.
1t has been learned that Caceros'
companions when President Heureaux
was killed were Juan Pichardo and
Horacio Vasquez. The latter is the
brother of a deputy in parliament
President Heureaux had gone to
Moca, accompanied by only six per-
sons, to see Jacobo Lara. The presi-
dent, at the entrance to the city, was
fired at by four individuals. 1t is gen.
orally admitted that Caseres fired the
fatal bullet.
The situation is critical Enemies of
the government are trying to disturb
the peace. General Wenceslas Figue-
REQ, who succeeds to the presidency,

THE PEACE CONFERENCE
Deadlocked by the Attitude Of the
British Premier.
HIS DEMAND ON SMALL POWERS.

British Delegates Forbidden to Sign
the Convention Unless Non-Repre-
sented Powers Agree to Certain Con-
ditions without Reserve.
London, July 2S.-The peace confer
ence at The Hague is deadlocked. Lord
Salisbury, the British premier, has de-
clined to give Sir Julian Pauncefote
and the other English delegates per-
mission to sign the agreement of the
convention unless the non-represented
powers agree to certain conditions
without reserve.
He desires to exclude such powers
unless the other powers unanimously
agree to admit them in writing.
Whether the great powers represented
at the conference can be united on the
proposition is serious question.
Lord Salisburys action is regarded
as aimed at the Transvaal republic and
the other new republics. 1t is looked
upon here as indicating that the British
government is anticipating war with
the Beers, and does not want to be
confined by any conditions that will
not be equally binding upon the Dutch
republic.
The Balkan states have been de-
nouncing international commissions
Of inquiry. Beldiman, of Roumania,
has protested against the indirect
moral restraint that was being brought
to bear upon the smaller nations to
compel them to keep peace. Greek and
Servian delegates supported him.
The Balkan states have also opposed
international arbitration. On the
question of the "dum-dum" bullets
England had the support of America
in opposing their prohibition.
A dispatch from The Hague says
that the committee engaged in draft
ing the definite acts spent all of yes
terday in attempting to reconcile the
demand of Sir Julian Pauncefote that
non-signatory powers be entitled to
adhere to the arbitration convention
only by the unanimous consent of the
signatory powers and the amendment
of Count Nigra, of the Italian delega-
tion, permitting such adhesion II no
power opposes. The attempts, how
ever, were without result.
The plenary conference adopted the
preamble dealing with the laws and
customs of war, and the adaptation of
the Geneva convention to naval war.
The articles of the two conventions
were definitely adopted.
The arbitration scheme still awaits
Great Britain's acceptance of an ac-
cession to the plan.
