in San Domingo.
Secretary Long Friday issued orders
detaching the cruiser New Orleans from
the North Atlantic squadron at Newport
and directing her to proceed at once to
Santo Domingo city. Orders were issued
also to the Maehais at ST. Thomas, to
proceed to the same point via San Juan.
These orders were made at the instance
of the State Department and as pre-
cautionary measure owing to the disturb
ed conditions following the assassination
of President Heureaux of SaA Domingo
The trouble between the Government
of San Domingo and its creditors has
reached an acute stage. The creditors,
who are almost entirely Americans, have
begun to clamor for an American psotec-
torate, which wonld necessarily be the
first step in the direction of annexation.
Political plots are already shaping them
selves. The adherents of Gen. Jiminez
seek to put him at the head of affairs,
while the friends OF Gen. Maxine Co
mez are talking of making him the ruler
of the republic. 1t is Said by officers
who have recently been in San Domingo
that interference by this Government
would be welcomed by a large proportion
OF the inhabitants of the island.

pointed secretary Of War,
The President has appointed Elihu
Root Of New York as Secretary Of War
to succeed Russell A. Aiger, resigned.
The appointment was made after con.
ference between President Mckinley and
the cabinet. The President has had un:
der consideration the appointment Of Mr.
Root for some time. Senator Platt said
his personal choice had been Gen. Fran
els n. Greene. He added, however. that
the chbice made BY President Mckinley
would be satisfactory to New York Re-
Laoiicans, including Chauncey nj. Depew,
Gov. Roosevelt and himself.
It Is understood that the new Secre-
tary will not take charge of the purely
military matters OF the Office, leaving
these to Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn
and Adjt. Gen. Corbin, while he will con-
Germ himself with the larger problems
arising on account Of our new posses
sions. The question Of salary will nct be
one which will influence his acceptance Of
the position. for he is wealthy and Mrs.
Root has quite fortune in her own right.

DEATH or LUETcERT.
Notorious sausage- Maker Suddenly
Expires in His Prison Cell.

Adolph Luetgelt, who was serving a
life sentence in the Illinois State peni-
tentiary at Joliet for the murder of his
wife, Louisa, died suddenly 1T few
minutes before Z o'clock Thursday morn
ing. The probable cause Of his death
was heart disease.
It was thought at first that he might
have killed himself but the prison ply
sician, after examining the body, con-
cluded that death resulted from natural
causes. There were no indications of
poisoning, nor were there any marks on
the body. To all appearances Luetgert
had been III the best Of health, although
he had been suffering from rheumatism.
The chaplain Of the prison said that
In the several talks he had with the pris-

oner he had always declared his inno-
cence of any crime. He was confident
he would be yinaieatea In time ard that
the Supreme Court would grant him a
rehearing. He frequently spoke about
his case and all his thoughts seemed to
be upon it. The warden and his deputies
all pronounce Luetgert to have been a
weil-behaved prisoner. The only trouble
which they ever had with him was a
little argument he got into with a repre-
sentative Of large packing house over
the meat furnished. He had to be placed
In solitary confinement as punishment
for his conduct
Luetgert's passing away marks the
closing chapter of one of the most grew

eriminology-his debt to the law which
was fixed by jury at life Imprisonment
