~ HE story of the attempt of Cen

~ HE story of the attempt of Cen
eral Don Juan Isidro Jimenez to
usurp the presidency of San
Domingo reads like the libretto of a
comic opera. Jimenez is neither a SOL
der nor politician. He is merchant
and a patriot. He believed that the
good of his country demanded the re-
moval of President Heureaux and the
establishment of himself as president.
Heureaux suspected his designs and
warned him that his continued resi-
dence in the island would probably be
attended with fatal consequences This
was two or three years ago. Jmenez
did not leave at once. He stayed long
enough to see one or two of his ware
houses burned to the ground and his
commercial operations hampered in a
variety of ways. Then he sold his en-
tire San Domingo possessions to a Ger
man syndicate and prepared to leave.
But before taking his departure he
harangued the people with a view to
melting them to rebellion against
Heureaux. For this Jimenez was ar
rested. He managed to escape and fed
to New York
Jimenez landed on American soil just
after this country had declared war
with Spain. A bright idea flashed
across Jimenez' mind. He went to
Washington, saw President Mckinley
and General Alger, told them of his in
timacy with General Gomez and in
duced them to place.at his disposal the
steamship Fanita loaded from stem to
stern with arms, ammunition and sup
plies. He knew all about the coast CT
Cuba and he was to land the Fanita's
cargo and place it safely in General
Gomez possession. The vessel set sail
from Mobile on May "a of last year,
Jimenez in charge. He had half a
dozen other Dominicans with him, who
We're to constitute his cabinet. OF
course he made direct for the island of
San Domingo, arrived off the coast in
the night time and sent word to his
friend and ally, General Toribio Garcia
to have all in readiness at an appoint
ed time, with at least a thousand men
to take the arms and advance upon the
forts, slaughter or capture the garri-
sons and then proceed on to the palace
of Heureaux.
The appointed time came but Garcia
and the thousand men didn't Garcia
never received the message. The I'M
daunted Jimenez, however, landed with
force of eighteen fighting men, in
Guiding his cabinet ministers. and set
out to capture the island. His first act
was to fire shot in the air and shout
viva, San Domingo libre," He
marched up to the garrison and COM
manded it to surrender. The garrison
opened fire on the conspirators, who
began an ignominious retreat. At
breakneck speed under a rain of bullets
they ran for the boats, but of them all

made his escape.

~ OETRY deals constantly with the
fortunes of the soldier, yet there
is abundance of hard prose in
the volunteers career. Romance finds
a field always inviting when it turns
to the man who fights for his country,
but the career in arms has its full
share of stern, bitter realism.
This latter side is illustrated in the
story told in press dispatch which the
Standard printed few days ago. This
story dealt with Captain Otis, of the
First regiment, Washington volun-
teers. 1t said that after the engage
ment at Calamba General Lawton re-
lieved Captain Otis of his command and
placed him under arrest, ION account
of slowness and the seeming reluct-
ance of the companies under his COM
mand in obeying the order to disem-
bark and wade through the marshes
under fire." In behalf of these soldiers
the plea recited in a dispatch under
Manila date was that most Of them
had been sick, that they were unfit for
duty and that they had been given to
understand that they would not again
be ordered to fight.
Spite of this punishment visited upon
Captain Otis, the public will hold in
pleasant remembrance the service he
has rendered. He went to the war as
captain of Company A in the First
Washington. The company was recruit
ed at Spokane. He has been acting
major, commanding a battalion of four
companies. In the battle of last Feb
ruary and 5, his company suffered
the most severe loss of any company
engaged-19 men killed or wounded.
His first lieutenant was disabled early
in the fight Captain Otis himself was
shot, bullet grazing his cheek and
carrying away a portion of his ear.
Brigadier General Charles King, in
whose brigade Captain Otis was serv-
ing, devoted considerable space in his
official report TO Captain Otis and his
splendid conduct on this occasion. Cen
eral King relates that, riding up just

WELL TAKEN CARE OF.
Little George Dametrovich Had a Ticket
to Anaconda,

Some further facts in relation to
George DametroviCh, the boy who came
from Helena to find his mother in Ana
conda, were developed yesterday in
conversation with Conductor Richard
son of the Great Northern, on whose
train the little chap made the journey.
1t appears that the little chap was
put aboard the train by a hack driver
who, on instructions from the officers
of the orphan asylum where the child
is said to have been for some time,
bought him a ticket for Anaconda.
At East Helena the child wanted to
get off. insisting that it was his home,
but Conductor Richardson concluded
that the ticket was the best guide. AS
is usual in such cases. the conductor
kept a sharp eye out for the youngster
all the way from Helena.
At Woodville there was a washout,
and the train was delayed from p. m.
until nearly "a, m. Conductor Rich
ardson saw to it that the little fellow

place to Sleep and upon arrival at
Anaconda turned him over to Police
man Sullivan, as there was no one at
the station to meet him.

May Block Tests By Injunction.

About forty members of the Dairy
mems association held star chamber
session in the small court house last
night. I. p. Treadwell presided. The
meeting was for the purpose of discuss
ing the tuberculin tests now being
made in the dairy herds under the
direction of the state veterinarian.
Those present believe that only per
cent of the milch COWS of the state are
in the dairy herds, that, the action of
the test to stamp out tuberculosis in
mich COWS was unjust to them as they
controlled such small proportion of
the COWS.
They believed that the state should
remunerate them for their losses. A
committee was appointed to circulate a
subscription paper to raise funds to
fight the state. One hundred and sixty
eight dollars and fifty cents was sub
scribed. The dairymen practically de-
cided to get out an Injunction restrain.

State fish commissioner Delavan was
in town today, says the Des Moines
News. He visited The state house this
morning and interviewed the governor
on private business. Mr.. Delavan is
feeling particularly reJoiced just now
over the substantial recognition his
scheme for stocking the waters of the
state has recently received from the
United states government. During the
month of January the government ap-
propriated $4,000 to be used by r. S.
johnson, superintendent of the govern
ment trout station at Manchester, Iowa,
in cooperating with the state fish com.
missioner of Iowa in his work of stock
ing the waters of the state. One of the
government cars has been put at the
disposal of Superintendent johnson,
and by August 1, he expects to begin
operations in the territory which has
been assigned him. He will work from
Bellevue, on the Mississippi, thirty
miles above Sabula, where commission
er Delevan has established his field.
1t was in 1897 that State Fish Com
missioner Delevan secured the backing
of the state in his plan to stock Iowa
waters with fish. During the same
year he was equipped with car and
began his work, which was to take from
the Mississippi bayous and overflow
streams the fish which were carried and
left there during high water season, and
which on account of the shallow waters,
would eventually be destroyed when the
cold weather came were they not taken
out and cared for in some way.
Early in the prosecution of his work,
Mr.. Delevan carried supply of fish
and put in the mill pond OF the Maquo-
keta river, at Manchester. They were
left there for several months, when
Superintendent Johnson, at the Govern
ment trout station, asked permission to
seine few miles above the pond and
see if any results were apparent. AS a
consequence, he discovered thousands
of tiny croppies which had propagated
from the supply left by the fish COM
missioner. Superintendent johnson
brought this fact before the govern
ment fish interests, with the result that
he has now an appropriation of $4,000
with which to push the work of stock
ing and propagation along. Mr.. Del
evan is very enthusiastic over his
scheme, and thinks one of its greatest
beauties is the fact that he is taking
from the border rivers, not the fish that
would otherwise thrive there, but those
which would eventually be destroyed.
These he says, are being saved and
given to the people Of the state for feod.

creameries Without Cows.

One of the common mistakes in in.
vestment of capital is the building of
creameries in general farming sections
that have few COWS, the idea being that
the farmers will become dairymen as
soon as good market for milk or cream
is afforded them. The promoters may
know that dairying should pay in the
section or they may merely be interest
ed in selling an outfit to farmers, but
the fact is not taken into consideration
that most men who have not had adairy
training do not like the care of COWS
and will not burden themselves with it.
Their tastes run along other lines be-
cause trained that way, while the true
dairyman enjoys his work, or at least the
profit his skill in that line brings him.
He understands his business and makes
money, but the grain farmer or the gen.
eral stockman neither understands nor
likes it, and the creamery usually fails
to change permanently and successfully
his natural lines of farming. National
