AS she spoke she opened the door
and passed out into the cool, softly
carpeted corridor, which seemed, after
the heat and glare of the beach, where
she and the poodle had been having a
run, a perfect paradise in contrast.
Swinging her hat carelessly in her
hand, she hurried along toward the
table where the morning delivery of
letters was always to be found.
A tall, military-looking man In a
light gray shooting-suit was standing
casually surveying the post as Evelyn
came up to it and rapidly scanned the
different addresses. Her scrutiny was
unsuccessful, however. Neither her
own nor her aunt's name met her eyes
upon any of the envelopes, and she
had turned away and was about to
cross the hall. when a voice suddenly
arrested her footsteps.
II beg your pardon!"
The words, spoken In singularly
courteous tones and accompanied by a
slight but most chivalrous bow, made
her pause in some amazement, to be-

suit, who had apparently been as

advancing toward her.

He declined my offer with we'll

cable from Hongkong says Aguinaldo

Mia. Hongkong having been made too
hot for the Filipino junta, through the
efforts of United States Consul General
Wildman, the rebels decided to attempt
to establish their headquarters in Ma

daring experiment by the fact that un-
der a recent decree of Governor Gen
eral Otis the Philippine courts are now
conducted by natives.
So Crisanto Lichancho, the treasurer
of the junta, went boldly to Manila and
professed friendship for General Otis.
The scheme worked so we'll that the

Expects That After Landing on the Island With

to-day ,Jinfnez stated that two of the
men who were connected with the as
sassination of President HeureauX of
San Domingo were confidential agents
of his They were also in the good
graces of Heureaux, who had deputed
them to assassinate Jiminez. They
informed Jiminez's friends of the plot
and counterplot was successfully or
ganized by them for the assassination
of HeureauX.
Jiminez displayed a cipher cablegram
which he received from an agent in
San Domingo this morning which reads
as follows:
Revolution commences to-day in
Daiabon. Send definite answer when
YOU will arrive Must be as early as
possible. FRANCO.
Jiminez has replied: BE there by
last of month with party. Delay so
as to avoid bloodshed. Think present
Government will retire before then"
Jiminez declared that he has 10000
stands of arms in Cuba ready to be
used, and part of the filibusters IN the
United States are prepared to sail at
once.
When asked if he did not think the
United States would stop his expedi-
ton. he smiled and said: Has the
United States enough vessels to guard
the entire coast of Cuba and the Isle
of Pines that can be spared? Never
fear: we will have no trouble in sail
ing, and we will sail soon"
Jiminez is said to be backed by Go

officers. rs plan is to land party OF
Americans on the coast with quantity

ment announced the arrival Of the
New Orleans at San Domingo. Her
commanding officer found no change in
the situation. The New Orleans Will
remain at San Domingo City. while
the Machias will make a tour of the
island, putting in at principal ports.
The policy will be TO keep warships
in the waters of San Domingo and
Hayti for some time to come though
it is probable that a smaller vessel
than the New Orleans or Machias will
be assigned to this duty.
The authorities place little credence
in the boasts of Jiminez that he is
coming to the United States to fit out
an expedition against the Government
of San Domingo. If he really contem-
plated anything of the sort, they as
sumo that he would not let the public
know of his intentions.
AS a precautionary measure, how
ever, the authorities in Cuba have been
directed to keep watch on his move
ments, and naval vessels in Do
minican waters will be on the lookout
for any filibustering expeditions.
