SAN DOMINGO REVOLT.
Mail Reports Are That the Insur-
rection is Spreading.

KINGSTON Uamaica), Aug. ia
mail dispatch from San Domingo, dated
August Sd via Hayti, confirms the cable
intelligence telling of the spread and
significance of the revolution through
out the Dominican Republic.
Prominent men in civil and military
circles, it appears, are taking the field,
with the understanding that Jiminez
is the prime mover, and that he will
shortly arrive there from Cuba with
munitions of war. Among his military
adherents. bringing arms and following
including regular soldiers, We're the
well-known Generals Ramon Pacheco
and Pablo Reyes, who are advancing
westward by forced marches for the
purpose of cutting off Monte Christi
from reinforcements and to form u
junction with the insurgents of Hayt,
thus opening a way for the Jiminez ex-
petition.
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 al
ready considering the alternative of
calling a plebescite, in order to ascer-
tain whether the country would not
prefer to renew the vote of 1871 for
p-ctectorate rather than elect another
dictator, thus securing permanent peace
and prosperity.

CHICAGO, Aug. 11.-A severe wind
and rainstorm passed over Chicago this
evening doing much damage.

fixture was burned out, and the cur
rent played about the ceiling until 1t

ings. The gas escaped with force and
burned furiously. The flames were eX-
tinguished by the fire department.
The most disastrous work OF the
storm was the destruction OF the
ST Joseph's Polish Catholic Church, at
Southport and Bell avenues, where the
wind wrought damage amounting 10
$4,000. No lives were lost in the col
lapse of the tons of steel Orders.

son Park and it was capsized by the
wind. Several vessels in the harbor

COLONEL HENRY's TREASON.
A Statement by a London Journal
Causes a Sensation.

RENNES, Aug. 1.-THE London
Times statement this morning of
the late Lieutenant Colonel Henry's
treason caused considerable sensation
and was much discussed among the
newspaper men and all others inter-
ested in the trial. The affirmation of
Henry that Esterhazy was his accom-
plice is only a confirmation of what
has already many times been stated.
But what was regarded as important
is the fact that the Times" announced
it in such categorical terms, demon
strating, according to the views of the
friends of Dreyfus. that the Times"
people have actually seen documents
submitted to them by more than one
foreign military attache presenting the
strongest proof of Henry's guilt, and,
moreover. that this announcement can

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11-General
Carlo Garcia of Cuba was engaged to-
day in the presentation to army Off
GERS of plans for the Cuban militia.
He had a long conference during the

The plan is to organize several regi-
ments from the soldiers who fought for
Cuban independence into what shall
constitute a National Guard, and at
the same time perform duties similar
to those of the gendarmes of European
countries. He thinks the force could
be utilized to maintain order and re-
lieve many of the American soldiers.
1t could be classed as a part of the
auxiliary force authorized by the last
Congress- but the intention is that it
shall be differed by Cubans, and paid
out of the Cuban revenues.
So far as he mas been able to present
the plan among officials in this city,
