DON JUAN ISADOR JIMINEZ.

In the matter of the San DOMINICAN
revolution it is sort of up and down
between the two contending forces.
It is uncertain what day may bring
forth, and there is no telling where
the followers of Jiminez will land.
At present things are going along in
his interest. Don Juan Isador Jim
inez was at one time one of the rich
est men in this hemisphere. After
Hereaux had been elected president
of San Domingo he told Jiminez
there was room for only one big man
in that republic. After the "acciden-
tsP' destruction of considerable prop
erty belonging to Jiminez he came
to the conclusion that the president
was right, and retired from the island.
About the time the United States
took hand in the Cuban war, they
gave Jiminez the privilege of fitting
out an expedition to fight for Cuba.
He sailed from Mobile with a cargo
of arms, ammunition and men, but
instead of going to Cuba he took his.
men to San Domingo. Jiminez
boasts that one of his men was
responsible for the killing Of Hereaux.
This is all done in the interests of
placing Jiminez at the head of the
republic of San Domingo.

"DEWEY" LETTER.

From our Washington Correspondent
Now that the date of the national
welcome at Washington to Admiral
Dewey is but week distant the pub
lie interest in all that pertains to the
hero of Manila is increasing daily
and it is interesting to recall the sue
cessive steps by which the nation has
shown its feeling that Admiral
Dewey is the central figure of the
Spanish-American war.
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1899-09-30

of Congress to take the final action.
Scarcely had that body convened in
December last when Representative
Livingston. of Georgia, presented the
bill which revived the grade of Ad-
miral in the naval, and made George
Dewey in fact, as we'll as in popular
appropriation, the leading figure of
the Spanish war.
~
When Congress last year appropri-
ated $4,000 to be expended in the
purchase of a sword, to be presented
to the Admiral as a testimonial of the
appreciation of the American people
of the great service he had rendered
them, no place was designated for
making the presentation, but by com
mon assent the President. the Secre-
tary of the Navy, and other Cabinet
officials, and the Senators and Repre-
sentatives decided that the Capital
City was the only proper place where
gift from the people of the Nation
could be presented and this determi-
nation met with the most unanimous
approval of the Governors of the for
ty-6ve States in the Union. All of
the Governors and their stats have
been invited to be present at the de-
monstration, which will take place
October 2 and 8.
~
In making arrangements for the
presentation of the sword, and the
parade, the Committee has been very
much assisted by President McKin
ley, Secretary Long, by prominent
Senators and Representatives and
ranking officers of the Army and
Navy, all of whom are exceedingly
anxious that this national demonstra
ton shall in every respect represent
the people, and be known and con-
sidered as the expression of their
voice and wishes.
