ernment.

! NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-Adrian
Gruellon, the representative in thi
city of the revolutionary party in San
to Domingo, takes occasion to .correc
the spelling of the name of the leader
OF the revolution and candidate for tht
presidency. He says that his chief,
name is General Jimenes aud no
Jiminez or Jimenez, as it has beer
printed in the newspapers of this city
Mr.. Gruellon said in an interview thai
he had received NO dispatches from
Santo Domingo since Monday, .bui
judging from the latest press and pri-
vate advice he had no doubt that the
revolutionary party would be in COM
plete control of the country within a
few days.
"This has been almost a bloodless
revolution" he said ''and there is not
likely to be any serious fighting. The
old government recognizes that the
people desire a change and is yielding
as rapidly as the leaders of the revolu-
tion reach the various cities. In a
very short time conditions will be ripe
for General Jimenes to proceed to the
island, not as dictator, but as the
chosen president of the republic.
81 cannot understand the action of
the United States authorities in Cuba
toward General Jimenes, first in ar
resting him and again on Monday, in
refusing to permit him to land at
Santiago de Cuba. 1t seems to me
either that the situation cannot be
understood in Washington or that
some powerful influenced is at work
there against the Dominican revolu.
tionary party, possibly with a view to
continuing the present di sturbed con-
ditlon until such time as it might ap-
pear proper for the United States to
step in and seize and an mex the islands.
1t may as we'll be understood that an.
nexation is out of the question.
''In the first place, other countries,
Germany, have interests
n Santo Domingo which would impel |
,hem to resist any attempt of the !,
United States to assume control of |
affairs there and secondly the Dom:ni-
,aus feel competent to govern them
selves. They had good government

| On Friday, SEPTEMBER, 1st the open
season for prairie chickens will begin.
During the fall the chickens are much
wilder than in the summer months so
that it will not be as easy matter for
hunters to make the wholesale slaugh-
ter they formerly did during July and
August. This is one of the good
features of the law and will have
tendancy to increase the class OF game
nirds. Up to this time no one has
been convicted of violating the game
laws in regard to chickens in Wasco
county and as far as can be learned no
illegal hunting has been done.

AFTER MINERS CLAIMS.

James Hamilton Lewis Will Ask England
for Millions in Damages.
CHICAGO, Aug. 29.- A special to the
Times-Herald from Washington says:
James Hamilton Lewis, of Washing.
ton, is about to leave for London to
press upon the attention of the British
government the claims of large num-
ber of American miners, aggregating g
S15, ,000,0 900 to S25, ,OOO,OOO
Many Americans, relying upon the
freedom which the laws of British
Columbia seem to assure, went into
the territory several years ago and
engaged in the mining of gold. Later
the parliament of British Columbia
drove the Americans out by the passing
of law prohibiting any alien from
owning mineral claim in that prov
luce. Many Americans were thus
compelled to forfeit valuable proper
ties.
Mr.. Lewis, who has been in the city
several days, placed their cases before
the state department, which has taken
cognizance of their claims by giving
their representative a letter to Ambas.
sador Choate. If Mr.. Lewis fails to
get satisfaction in direct negotiations.
he will endeavor to have the state
department take up the claims of the
miners and press them.

THE GOVERNMENT
=. :s.,
TOTTERINC.
Affairs Are Serious In
San Domingo.

NEW YORK, Aug. pa dispatch to
to the Herald from Santo Domingo
Friday, via Key West. Fla, says:
The tide of revolution is rapidly
nearing the capital. The revolution
lists have CT ossed the mountains, and
are now only six hours distant by
horse. The government is tottering
and apparently unable to choke the
insurrect1on. Yesterday it dispatched
commission to confer with the rebel
leaders for the purpose of trying to
effect compromise. Meanwhile there
is great suspense. The capital may
be besieged in a few days if a COM
promise fails.
Among the people there is general
alarm. The president never leaves
home by night or day except with
double guard. The city is virtually
under martial law. The soldiers are
patrolling the streets. The foreign
consulates are crowded with aliens ap-
prehensive of disorder. The military
commandant of San .Cristobal was as
sassinated on Tuesday. Placards
demanding the death of the cabinet
ministers are posted nightly in promi.
nent places.
Military preparations are being
rushed by the government, and the re-
serves are under arms, but the insur-
rection ohas thus far been remarkably
free from bloodshed, although there |
are vague reports of severe fighting in
the interior. All the telegraph lines |
to the interior of the island have been |
cut by the iusurrectionists, and COM
munication by wire has been impos-
sible for several days, but refugees say
the revolution is spreading.
Governor Lionas, of the La Vega
district, has gone over to the revo.
lutionists. taking with him many
soldiers. Some of the Dominican gun.
boats have put into the river, and it is
that the president and cabi.
net, in case of emergency, will fee
to Porto Rico.
If more serious trouble comes, the
people here are looking to the United
States for protection. In case of riot
ing, the New Orleans and French
cruiser are prepared to land marines
10 protect the consulate.

GREAT LUMBER CONTRACT.
British Government After 100000
900 Feet of Yellow Pine.

Galveston, Tex, Aug. 10.-Private
advices from London and New York
are that the British government has
contracted with the Lutcher & Moore
Lumber company, limited, of Orange,
Tex, for 500 600, 600 feet of yellow pine.
Late last evening a, correspondent
called up Manager Fields, of the lunl-
Der company, by long distance tele-
phone and inquired if such a. stipend
Gus contract had been entered into by
his corporation. Mr.. Fields replied that
no contract had been closed, but the
British government had asked and re-
ceived it's prices on nearly that amount
of lumber, to be delivered a t gulf ports.
Mr. Fields further states that the do tie
of delivery was not specified, and that,
while he was not sure where the lum-
Der was destined, he presumed part was
for South Africa and part for the Brit
ish West Indies.
Five hundred million feet Of lumber
would be the greatest order in the his
tory of the world. Tt would take all the
mills in southeast Texas a year to turn
that much out, and it would require
nearly 500 good-sized steamships to
carry that amount of lumber across the
ocean. 1t would mean a great boom in
yellow pine lumber prices, and a pro-
nounced advance in ocean freights.
The idea here is that the lumber is
wanted for the new government rail-
road from the Nile to Cape Town. The
mills are already crowded with orders,
and, if this new business is placed, the
southern lumber country will have a
period Of unexampled prosperity.

WOMAN LEAPS TO DEATH.
Unaccountable Act OF Miss Della La
mont of st. Louis.

Belleville, Ill, Aug. 10.-Niss Della
Lamont, an unusually attractive girl,
20 years of age, 1eaped from a railway
trestIe, a distance of so feet, this morn
ing, receiving injuries that will prove
fatal.
Miss Lamont has been the guest of
Miss Harris of this city for several
days, coming from st. Louis. Early
this morning she asked Miss Harris to
accompany her out on the high trestle
across RichIand Creek Valley. They
turned before making the entire trip,
Miss Harris leading. She was suddenly
startled to hear Miss Lamont shout
farewell to her, and turned in time to
see her guest plunge from the trestle-
She whirled over and alighted on her
back, wrenching her spine and suffer-
ing internal injuries.
Miss Harris speedily summoned as
sfstance, and the unfortunate girl was
carried to her home. She recovered
consciousness for a moment art noon,
but gave no reason for her act. Physi-
clans say she will not survive the night.
