Anti American Feeling Aroused in San
Domingo.

Santo Domingo.-The Dominican
government has issued a decree
against the collection of duties by the
Santo Domingo Improvement company
of New York. There is intense ex-
citement and the anti-American feel
ing is strong. The action is due to the
protest of the Belgian bondholders.
The duties will now be collected for
treasury needs. A commission or con-
suls and merchants has been appoint
ed to supervise the financial attars
until a final settlement is reached.
Congress is considering a demand OF

Wants to Swim Back to Sweden.

Tacoma, Wash.-Andrew Petersen,
Gig harbor farmer, jumped into Puget
Sound and announced to his friends
on shore that he intended to swim
to his old home in Sweden. He struck
out heroically toward the open sea
and gave evidence that he meant what
he said. Petersen's friends on shore
got boat as quickly as they could
and went after him. He resented their
interference and it was sometime be-
fore he could be induced to leave the
icy cold water and come into the boat.
On being landed he wanted to start
for Sweden again.
Today Petersen was committed to
the insane asylum at Steilcom.

While people were still shuddering
over the atrocities Of the Boxers" IN
China came the terrible details Of the
horror at Limon, Col. The people OF
that region are not peculiarly blood
thirsty. They seem to have gone about
the thing much as they would have
come to the aid Of neighbor in any
other matter. They left the punishment
to the father Of the murdered girl. They
furnished the murderer with a Bible
and gave him time to pray. They had
ordered the rough element to keep
away and make no interference. What
q queer mixture Of order and crime, OF
religion and sin, Of civilization and bar,
barism, of compassion and malignity!

A competent referee has reported
that the services Of a lawyer in a case
for which the disciple Of Blackstone
put in bill for $4,000 were actually
worth no more than $500. 1t may not
be easy for an attorney who sets SO
high an estimate upon his qualifications
and efforts to find chents hereafter.
Overcharges Of few hundred per
cent may be expected now and then at
the bar, but to ask $4,000 in compen-
sation when one-f -fftieth Of that amount
would have been a fair remuneration
passes the bounds of patience.

A regimental physician. in the French

A regimental physician. in the French
army has investigated the effect upon
soldiers of regular marching in oiscip-
lined bodies. The uniformity Of the
soldiers step causes the indefinite repe-
tition Of a shock Of the brain and, bones;
and consequently the mode Of motion
is far more deleterious than an irregu-

aches and pains eftthe men to the fact
that the same parts of the body. receive

Columbus, Ga, Oct. 2S.-An Associated Press telegram announcing the filing of a bill to put the Inter State Building and Loan Association in the hands of a rec ceiver, was a great surprise to the public. -he last statement issued Mo- vember 30, shows the association to be in good shape, with about $4O,00O cash in bank.

EXAMINED
 BY LEMLY Schley Was Questioned by
 Judge Advocate. HE WILL CONCLUDE TODAY Barker and Borden to Be Heard for Applicant. Government Witnesses in Rebuttal, of Whom There are Perhaps l5,
 Will Then Testify-The
 Session Yesterday.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-The cross ex- animation of Admiral Schley began today before the court of inquiry and hardly more than a third of the ground was covered when the court adjourned at o'clock. After Admiral schley concludes tomorrow two other witnesses will be called in his behalf. Admiral Barker and Captain Thomas Bordon. The latter was an officer of the Marine Corps aboard the Brooklyn. The Judge Advocate then will call his witnesses in rebuttal. of whom there are understood to be more than fifteen and 1t is probable that Ad- miral Schley's counsel will call witnesses in sub-rebuttal.
 The only outburst today in the court occurred when MT. Raynor. Admiral Schley's counsel, objected to line of in- quiry designed to criticize Admiral Schley's alleged failure to formulate a plan of battle. with the declaration that as Admiral Sampson was in command his Junior had no right to plan an order of battle.
 Admiral Schley concluded his direct ex- AT0luauOu, WutCn COAkAaAOCA OAAJ @0oAs ten minutes after the court convened this morning, with statement of the effect of fire of the respective fleets at San- tiago, showing that S6 per cent Of the hits suffered by the enemy were scored by the Brooklyn's fve-inch guns, whlt his ship received 70 per cent of the hts from the Spanish ships. Captain Lemly's cross examination was very searching.
 Admiral Schley Unrufied.
 Admiral Schley. however, appeared te be unruffied throughout the examination frankly admitting on several occasions that he could not remember little details after the lapse of three years. One hns of inquiry which the Judge Advocate tried to press to show that Admira Schley did not proceed with despatch from Key West to Cienfuegos by at tempting to contrast the speed made be tween Charleston and Key West witf the time between Key West and Cienfue- gos was curtailed by decision Of the court which confined the questions to the time subsequent to May 19, the day or which the flying squadron left Key West
 The Judge Advocate in his cross ex' animation dwelt upon the interview be- tween Admiral Sampson and Commodore Schley at Key West before the departure of the flying squadron at which the latter testified that Admiral Sampson instructed him not to expose his ships to shore bat teries until the Spanish fleet had been destroyed; on the fact that Admiral Schley issued no written order of battle and on the question of coaling off Cien' fuegos and the steps Schley took there to ascertain the presence of the Spanish fleet. He was cross examining the wit ness upon matters connected with tht cruise of the squadron from Cienfuegos to Santiago when the court adjourned The retrograde movement, the firing upor the Colon and the battle Of Santiago which constitute main features of tht precept. were not touched upon today.

BIG DAMAGE SUIT FILED.

 Breach of Promise.

Jackson. Miss. Oct. 28-A very sensa- tional bill for breach of promise was filed this morning in the Federal Court by l. L. Watson, leading lawyer of Mem nbis. in behalf of Miss Lillie Goldberg of New York, who is said to be very rich and beautiful Jewish of that city. She wants S10.0O0 from MT. Jacob Gidwity of Minter City, one of the wealthiest plan ters of the Mississippi Delta.
 The bill filed by the attorney sets forth that on the 14th of last May In New York city. in the State of New York. that the defendant faithfully promised to marry the plaintiff during the early part of September and that she had confidence in him and believed that he would keep his promise, and though she has been ready and willing to marry him after the date set he has craftily deceived her. and now wholly refuses and declines to marry her.
 Miss Goldburg alleges that her feelings have been damaged to the sum of $lO.oOO and she asks that this sum be awarded her by the jury.

Baton Rouge, La, Oct. 2S.-This even ing Governor Heard received a message from Deputy Sheriff Simmons of Wash ington Parish saying that terrible con- fict was in progress between whites and blacks in that parish, thirty already dead and requesting the Governor to send troops at once.

offer to sell Panama Canal.

Washington. Oct. 2S.-M. Hutin. Presi- dent of the Panama Canal Company. has orally made a proposal to the United States Government, through Admiral Walker, president of the Isthmian Canal Commission, for the sale of the property of that corporation to the United States Government. At the request of Ad- miral Walker, MT. Hutin has undertaken to submit his offer in writing. Both Ad- miral Walker and M. Hutin decline to give any information concerning the price asked, and conjecture runs all the way from $50, ,OOO, 900 to $1OO, 900. Mir. Walker and his colleagues of the Commission have impressed upon M. Hutin the abso- lute uselessness of asking large sum. as the probabilities are that Congress will give but scant consideration to the Pana- ma project, even under the most favora- ble circumstances. There is a belief that the Panama Company has submitted proposition designated to induce Congress to hesitate before going ahead with the Nicaraguan project.

THE VAUDEVILLE.
The Pride of Paid Shows Comes Ur
 to Every Expectation,


 The Vaudeville at the Auditorium has been the pride of the management from the beginning of all the paid shows and to make its success sure q committee consisting of Messrs; F. F.. Chanee J. P. Bullock, N. Lobman were appOint- ed, with MT. Fred B. White as General Musical Director, to look after it and set it in good shape. Last night was the time for the first performance and many of the Directors with the Committee were there to see the opening and to pass judgment upon the performance.
 There was nothing like tn. the s, audience IaS;
 bition of the Vaudeville and the pains taken by the mana cement had led to the
 belief that the Auditorium would be well
 filled on the & first night 1T Thers re. were were | and foremost of all being the fact that the circus was in town and many people
 had decided to wait later in the week to see the Festival and the shows and gave up the night to the circus.
 The verdict of every director and every 1 visitor who saw the Vaudeville was fa- vorable. It was fully up to date in every particular.
 The music was by Paoletti's New Or
 leans Band. and praise was lavished by The Vaudeville is under the immediate | management of Charles J. Carter. Ma
 tional Theatrical Exchange, Chicago Ev- | cry number is a separate and distinct | feature and each one is well worth the | price of admission.
 There were Yoklinta, Japanese tuggler, | whose fame Is co-extensive with the | world and his feats are marvellous and
 mystifying. The Bim, Bonn, Burr Is a comedy act | and is great The music of this number | Is only appreciated by musicians and all who are up in music should not fail to | hear them. The electric scene is novel | and dazzling and was much enjoyed. R. c. Royce gave symphony In dis | guise as mirth and he kept the audience convulsed with laughter. His part of the | performance would be hard to excel. Hanlon and Singer gave exhibitions on
 Roman rings and this act itself was a de-
 light to those who appreciate such tall | ents.
 The OIifans, European. grotesQles, are | tndescribable but ludicrously Funny ana
 made a hit.
 The Burkinos singing and dancing act
 was novel and something different from
 the rest. It Is number that nils It's
 place well on the program. | Mile. Rave is a fantastic dancer and her manipulation of the skirt Is most | wonderful. She bent her body about In | all manner of shapes as though there
 was not bone in 1t.

 number the best. All are good and dc | credit to the entire management.
