Kingston, Jamaica, Aug. 1l.-A mail
dispatch from Santo Domingo, dated Au-
gust 3rd, via Hayti, confirms the cable
intelligence telling of the speed and sig
nificance of the revolution throughout
the Dominican Republic. Prominent men
in civil and military circles, it appears,
are taking the field with the understands
ing that Jiminez is the prime mover and
that he will shortly arrive.
Undoubtedly the popularity of the revo-
luton is due to the Use of the name of
Gomez, and should he decline the Presi-
dency of Jminez or finally oppose his
election, prominent leaders are already
considering the alternative Of calling a
plebescite in order to ascertain whether
the country would not prefer to renew
the vote of 1871 for American anneXa-
ton or an American protectorate rather
than elect another dictator.

Stanly county appealed, and the case
was heard at Richmond last spring. Co
Ter & Co. will probably appeal to the
Supreme Court of the United States.
The Court of Appeals also decided to-
day in the case against Latham, in err
ror, that horses and mules seized while
conveying blockade whiskey could not
be sold at revenue auction il they were
under mortgage, and the mortgagee was
ignorant of the transportation of liquor.
They come into the possession of the
mortgage.
Readers of this paper are already fam
liar with the salient features of the
Stanly bond case which hinged ON the
fact that the bill authorizing the issue
of bonds did not pass its three several
readings properly as required in
the case of all bills authoriz-
ing tax levy. The issue of S190.O09
Of bonds by StanIy county was for the

has received favorable responses from
Dir. Doty and DIR. Jones, representing
the health authorities of New York and
Baltimore, respectively.
