MOCA, San Domingo, Sept. S.-Gen-
eraI Jimenes arrived this afternoon at
Moca with an escort of 500 cavalry,
largely augmented by armed horsemen
from the villages along the route.
Everywhere the utmost enthusiasm
is displayed.
1t was here that the late President
HeureauX was killed by Ramon
Caceres, who is now the idol of the
President and the Minister of War in
the provisional government. The con-
spirators claim that they have secured
a list of persons whom Heureaux had
designated for execution.
General Jimenes has received dis
patch from a Partisan banking house
promising to furnish all the funds ne
cessary to establish the government,
the French interests being second only
to the American. He will proceed to
La Vega tonight.
KINGSTON, Jamaica, Sept. S.-Do-
minican mail advices just received
here say that the apparently en-
thusiastic and ostensibly national dem
onstration prepared in San Domingo
for Juan Isidro Jimenes, the leader OF
the revolution in that country, by Gen
eral Imber and the leaders of Jimenes'
immediate political faction, is alto
ular sentiment. 1t is now beginning TO
appear that while the whole nation ac-
! cepted the revolution on the tacit un-
derstanding that the intolerable in
cubus of party politics would be per
manent1y removed by securing an
/ American protectorate, Jimenes' party
were finally working for his personal
/ interests, to the establishment of which
! they now purpose utilizing the victory
! if they can compass his constitutional
! election.
| In spite of the growing popularity OF
! General Horacio Vasquez, the pro-
visional vice president. who was the
/ real leader of the revolution and is the
| real hero of the hour the advices add
! that unless the person elected either
adopts the popular aspirations, or rs
an alternative, succeeds in giving the
! country Immediately an admin1stra-
! ton combining sovereign independence
with that financial stability, industrial
! progress and complete international
/ political freedom to which 1t has SO
/ long been a stranger, and which the
| people are fully determined to secure
! at any cost of bloodshed or even par
| ttal surrender of sovereignty, another
revolution is sure to follow.
In conclusion the advices say that
the foreign interests in San Domingo
are watching the developments with
the keenest anxiety.

IMPROVEMENTS AT
PEARL HARB0R, HAWAII

WASHINGTON, Sept. s.-Admiral Brad
ford, chief of the Bureau of Equipment,
and General Wilson, chief of engineers,
have been consulting respecting the i'm
provement Of Pearl harbor, Hawaii, with
q view to the establishment of a naval
station there. as directed by Congress
An unexpected and serious obstacle to the
execution of the project has been encoun-
tered in the shape of refractory real estate
holders. Having exhausted all other
proper methods, the officials have deter
mined now to proceed TO acquire the
necessary lands through condemnation
proceedings. having satisfied themselves
that this can be accomplished through
the Hawaiian laws as they stand to-day.
The Navy Department has just received
the detailed survey of Pearl harbor, made
last year by the Bennington. 1t Is far
more complete than anything before un-
dertaken. and one result of study of this
survey has been to satisfy the engineer
officers that good deal of unforeseen
work must be done In strengthening the
channels connecting the harbor with the

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8-The Cabinet
meeting to-day was devoted almost en-
tirely to a discussion of the local govern

philippines on the cessation of hostilities
Secretary Root has given the matter
much thought, and his views as expressed
at the meeting to-day were received with
approval by all of the members present
He pointed out that a system of govern
ment which would be suited to the people
of Luzon would hardly do for some of the
other islands, where the inhabitants were
far less advanced. A member of the Cab
met, in speaking of the matter said that
Secretary Root displayed a broad states
manship and a knowledge of the economic
master General Smith spoke briefly to the
effect that there was an increasing de-
mand in Cuba and Porto Rico for money
order facilities and a surprising growth
in the receipts of the Postal Department
which was expected to mean a rapid i'm
provement in business through the island

Special Dispatch to The Call.

ASTORIA. Sept. S.-News reached this
city to-day that the schooner Free Trade,
owned in San Francisco, is ashore at
Netarts Bay. about forty miles south of
the mouth of the Columbia River. The
information was brought by the steamer
Elmore, which arrived this afternoon
from Tillamook.
Captain Schrader reports that the Free
Trade went ashore while being towed out
of the harbor by the tug Maggie. The
weather was quite calm at the time, but
the tide set in strongly toward shore and
both tug and schooner were carried onto
the beach.
AS the Elmore passed the scene of the
accident an effort was being made to float
the vessels, but 1t had proved unsuccess-
full. 1t is thought, however that both
