DOMINICAN REVOLUTION.
Jimenez Will Take Peaceful Pos
session of the Country. 1t Is Said.

JimeneZ VIII Take Peaceful Pos
session of the Country. II Is Said.
| New York, August ga Grullon, the
representative in this city of the revolu-
ton party in San Domingo takes &C.
casion to question the spelling of the name
of the leader of the revolution and candi-
oate Tor president. He says his chiefs
name is Jimenez and not Jiminez. as it
has been printed in the newspapers of this
country
MI Grullon said in an interview that
ne had received no dispatches from Santo
domingo since Sunday but, judging from
the latest adyices, he had no doubt that
tne revolutionary party would be in com
plete control OF the country within a few
days
This has been almost bloodless revo-
lutlon.' said he, and there is not likely
10 Dc any serious fighting. The old gov
eminent recognizes that the people desire
a change and is yielding as rapidly as
the leaders of the revolution comes In
very short time Santo Domingo will be
ripe for General JimeneZ to proceed to
the island, not as dictator, but as the
chosen president of the republic. | can
not understand the action of the United
States authorities in Cuba toward General
Jlmenez, first in arresting him and again
OH MONDAY III refusing to permit him to
land at Santiago de Cuba 1t seems to
me either that the situation can not be
understood in Washington or that some
powerful influence is at work there against
Dominican progress.
1T should be understood that annexa-
ton TO the United States is impossible
There are other nations with interests in
Santo Domingo who would enter serious
objections were such course proposed
While we oppose annexation, we of the
revolutionary party are the most friendly
to the United States and one of the first
aims of the new administration is certain |
to be to establish closer commercial rea-
tons with this country by means of |
reciprocal tariff arrangement.
THE foreign trade of the island has |
been practically ruined by the violent |
fluctuations of its paper currency, hut the |
new government will inaugurate a finan-
,ial system that will be sound and safe"
Mr.. Grullon spoke kindly of General
'iguereo. the present acting president
If San Domingo, who assumed the reins
If government after the assassination of /
5eurreux. He was not inclined to blame
Figuereo for the alleged evils of Heu-
euxs administration. He said the acting
PRESIDENT himself was not bitterly opposed
o the revolution. Figeureo is dark
nulatto and not white man, as has been
represented in pictures in this country"

WOMEN NOT WANTED.
Government Officials Almost Invar

ably Ask for Male Clerks.
| New York, August pa special to The
| Herald from Washington says: Women
are being practically barred out of the
government service at the departments
IN Washington. There is no concerted ac-
ton among the heads of departments and
chiefs of bureaus here to exclude women
from appointment, but whenever there
is place to be filled the head of the Of
fee almost invariably asks for man.. This
right to discriminate between the sexes
is recognized by the civil service regula-
tons, and when requstion is made for
a man clerk. stenographer or typewriter,
the commission certifies only the names
of men.
Civil Service Commissioner Harlow said
that the commission had long list of
excellent women stenographers and type
writer's eligible for appointment, but they
could not get the appointing officers to
take them
There are many little reasons, said
Mr.. Harlow, which seem to influence
the heads of government officers to pre-
fer men to women. The principal one,
perhaps, Is that while women may do as
well during the regular working hours,
IL there is rush and 1t is necessary to
work over hours. the work can be crowd
ed on the men better than on the women.
The women are not so willing to work
over hours and the heads of offices feel
more reluctant in asking them to do, so
than is the case with men,
Chief Examiner Servn, of the civil |
service comission said there were many |
small in detail but important
In the aggregate which Influenced heads /
OF government offices to prefer men to
women.
