PLANS OF THE REvOLUTIONIsTs.

Kingston, jamaica Aug ia mall dispatch
from San Domingo dated August 3. via Hayti
describes the spread and significance of the revo-
luton throughout the Dominican Republic
Prominent men In civil and military circles, the
dispatch says are taking the field, with the I'M
derstandng that Jiminez is the prime mover
and that he will shortly arrive there from Cuba
with munitions of war Among his military ad-
herents bringing armed folowings, including
regular soldiers were the well known Generals
Ramon Pacheco and Pablo Reyes, who are ad-
vapclng westward by forced marches for the
purpose Of cutting off Monte Christi from rein
forcements. and OF forming a junction with the
insurgent forces from Hayt. thus opening way
for the Jiminez expedition.
Undoubtedly the popularity Of the revolution
is due to the use of the name OF Gomez. and
should he decline the Presidency, or Jiminez
finally oppose his election. prominent leaders are
already considering the alternative of calling a
plebscite in order to ascertain whether the
country would not prefer to renew the vote OF
1871 for American annexation or an American
protectorate. rather than elect another dictator,
thus securing permanent peace and prosperity.
