ANNEX SAN DOMINGO.

New York, July 27.-A Journal
special from Washington says:
The assassination of President
Heureaux and the probability of
disturbances there have revived in
official circles the ACCESSIBILITY of
annexing the country to the Unit
ed States as a humanitarian and
necessary Political move. The
armored cruiser Brooklyn or some
other large war ship will be sent
to Santo Dominican waters to pro.
tect American lives and property
The public debt OF the country il
held in New York and a United
States syndicate has entire control
of the national finances, managing
the Custom houses aud Govern
ment railways.
It is understood that q syndi
cate, which is called the Ssnto
Domingo Improvement Company,
has already urged the necessity Of
interference by the United States
Government.
If Cuba is given her indepen
dence the acquisition of Santo Do
mingo will restore to the United
States military advantages sh,
gives up by the surrender of Cuba
There is a strong feeling in thu
country in favor of annexation
Revolutions can only be prevent
ed by the interference of q stron,
power like the United States. The
Government of Ssnto DomiLg,
voluntarily sought annexation t.
this country in 1868.

RAISING CAMPAIGN FUND
Deliberation Of National Democratic
Committee.
Bryan and Altgeld Have Parted Company for
Keeps Vice Presidential Booms
Started.

Chicago, July 2l.-The Demo
cratic National Committee has set
it's mark for the 1900 campaign
fund at 100000. 1t may have
to be satisfied with $l,00O,00O or
Ices, but on the "aim high prin
ciple, especially when the shooting
is at long range, it will try for the
$4,000, 900 target. The intentions
of the committee have been thus
keyed up by address OF National
Committeeman Woodson from
Kentucky on the method that he
has adopted at home. Woodson
has record of raising $4,000
in less than thirty days, working
only during his spare time. He
assured the committee that he
could raise 100000 in Kentuckr
for the 1900 war cheot. Wood
son recommends the combination
of personal appeal to the people
on patriotic grounds, "horse
sense" argument and moral
suasion with a club. He has
tried the prescription.
In Kentucky his practice has
been to notify a small coterie OF
prominent Democrats in a given
town that be would like to meet
them at local hotel on a certain
day. He gets them into his room,
locks the door, and "goes at 'em
hammer and longs" He tells
them that the Democratic party
cannot get campaign fuuds any
more from the corporations or
big interests expecting to be re
paid with legislative favors, and
that it must look to the people for
it's m oney. The logic OF circum-
stances, he explains, demands this
the men who will be looking for
patronage favors, if influenced by
no higher motives, should contri
butte to the campaign fund. Then
he says: 81 want each of you men
here to pledge yourselves to con.
tribute $50 eseh-$25 if you can
not pay $50, or SO if you canno,
afford $25. You can pay it all
now. or give me a note for it to be
paid in future, or you can pay 81
or 80 a month"
Woodson told the committee he
had never known this method to
fail. The national committee
likes the plan, and each commit.
teeman is a committee of one

Mr.. WARDNER EXPLAINS.
He Tells Why He Peti-oned the Court for
His Release.

Boston, Jan. 3.-The Traveller this
afternoon printed a signed editorial by
Editor Torrey E. Wardner, in which
Mr.. Wardner explains his reasons for
petitioning a release after having pre-
viously refused to apologize to the
judge, who recently sentenced Mr..
Wardner to serve 80 days in Jail for
contempt of court
he says that his petition was pre-
sented because he had tested the law
as fully as he could have done 'Fby a
life time in Jail" Mr. Wardner says:
In accepting the sentence / had two
objects in view. First, to make a final
test of the validity of the law, and,
second, to find out whether a judge of
the superior court would dare to take
the responsibility and had the power
TO commit citizen to Jail for an al
ieged violation of the law without a
trial by jury"
Both these points having been set
tied by Judge Sherman's action, and
the refusal of Judge Knowlton of the
supreme court to grant a writ of habeas
corpus, Mr. Wardner's object was ac-
compnShed. and he states, as his pres
ence was needed at the Traveller office,
ana as he could achieve more toward
having the law repealed by gaining his
release, he took the only course to gain
IT, petition to the court Mr.. Ward
ner ADDS: The legislature comes in on

sonable penalties"

PHENOMENAL RUNS.
Wonderful Speed of Trains on Burlington
and Northwestern Roads.

Omaha. Neb., Jan. 3.-The new fast
trains on the Burlington and North
western roads finished their phenome-
nal runs from Chicago without special
incident today. The Burlington train
pulled into the terminal station eight
minutes ahead of schedule time The
Northwestern arrived IL minutes ahead
of schedule time.
IE addition to the sustained speed of
these two trains being remarkable, over
80 miles an hour for the distance, there
were some still more remarkable bursts
of speed during the trip
On the Burlington the best time
made was from Chicago to Burlington,
where several stretches We're covered
at the rate of so miles an hour and
some miles at even better than that.
The fastest run on the Northwestern
was made between Arion and Arcadia,
Ia Here there is a straight, level track
for 10 miles, and the mile posts were
left behind at the rate of one every
IS seconds. Every fast mile record,
including the New York Centrars rec
ord for mile in 80 seconds, or at a
rate Of 1925 miles per hour, made in
1898, was broken on the trip. The dis
tance from Siding to Arion, two miles
and four-tenths, was made in one min
ute and 20 seconds, or at the rate of
$50 miles per hour. Four stop watches
caught the time, which, however, will
not go on record, there being no speed
indicator on the engine.

NOT RESORT TO FORCE.
Gen. Miller Will Not Force Matters With
the Insurgents.

Washington. Jan. 3.-Gen Otis, COM
maneing at Manila, has cabled the war
department that, in his opinion, Gen
Miller has the situation we'll in, hand
at lloilo. and he fully understands the
purpose of the president not to crowd
the insurgents unduly, as it is highly
desirable that a hostile collision be-
tween the American forces and the in
surgents be avoided at all hazards, at
least pending the ratification of the
peace treaty. Gen. Miller will there
fore not resort to force only under alb
solute compulsion.
The officials here are not fully salts
fec that the trouble at Iloilo may be
traced directly back to the Spanish
colonel. Rios, who was the senior in the
Spanish army of Spain in the Philippine
group, and directly in command of the
Visayas group, including the principal
island of Panay and the city and gar
rison of Iloilo.
Gen. Otis reports show that though
besieged with 800 soldiers in Iloilo by a
superior force, the position of the Span
fsh was thoroughly tenable. They had
repulsed every attack of the insurgents
and had inflicted great loss upon the
latter, and altogether there was no rea-
son why they should not have held out
- was pal IlSuidIly Tic
case in view of knowledge on the part
Of the Spanlards that by the terms Of
the treaty the United States had under
taken to carry them back to Spain, in
volving of course their release from the
siege at the earliest practical moment.
1t Is significant that Rios delayed the
evacuation of Iloilo until it was deter
mined that the Americans were COM
ing, and there was curiosity here to
learn how the insurgents reached Iloilo.

Manila, Jan. 3.-Advices just received
from Iloilo state that the rebels, at a

Americans that they might land armed,
but if the latter landed armed the ma
