USE DUM-DUM BULLETS.
Guards at Joliet the First in Amer
lea to Be Supplied.

CHICAGO, July 3o-Every guard the
penitentiary walls at Joliet is armed with
a new Mauser rifle and the rifles are loaded
with dum-dum bullets. This bullet is the
one that was denounced In the peace con-
ference at The Hague as barbarous imple-
ment o. warfare. II is the kind Of bullet
that was found to be effective by the
British soldiers in India in their recent en-
counters with the rebels. 1t Is the same sort
of projectile that was the subject of dis
cussion in the British House of Commons
last week because 1t was furnished to the
troops who were to be used against the
Beers in the event of war in the Transvaal.
1t is said to be the first instance of its use
In the United States. The bullets used at
Joliet are made by an American firm and
they are described on the labels Of the
boxes that contain them as "soft-nosed bull
let's"
When they are fired into a body the soft
nose fattens and spreads and the long pro-
jectile assumes the shape of mushroom.
One of these projectiles makes a small hole
on entering. but in passing out 1t tears
away the flesh and leaves a ragged wound
sometimes as large as a mans hand.

SAN DOMINGO ALARMED
FRIENDS OF THE GOVERNMENT ARE
EXPECTING AN UPRISING.
Plan Of the Insurgents Believed to BE
to Make a Tender of the Presi-
dency to Gen. Gomez.

PUERTO PLATA, San Domingo. July 30.
The situation is critical. An outbreak is
momentarily expected. The friends of the
government are under arms and ready for
action to protect property and preserve the
peace. feeble attempt was made to seize
the body of President Heureaux by the as
sassins, Ramon Caceres, Manuel Caceres,
Horacio Vasquez and Domingo Pichardo,
who are in the country about Moca with
their followers. The burial Of President
Heureaux was conducted with fitting
honors. Governor Pepin has assembled
troops in Moca and the governor Of La
Vega Real has one thousand men. The min
lister of the treasury has arrived at Moca
In hot haste The government is taking
steps for the protection of business and
the finance Of the country and expects to
carry out the contemplated cancellation of
the state notes. In Puerto Plata there is
an urgent demand that the government send
a sufficient force TO Moca to hunt down the
assassins of the President.
