he alone of his party escaped death or
capture. How he secured possession Of
the Finita has never been explained.
Again in 1899 he organized an upris-
ing against President Heureaux from
Havana and gave the American au-
thorities much concern. He was de-
tanned at Cienfuegos, but in the alb
sence of proof was released and allow

in the meantime had been assassinated,
and when Jiminez landed he was joy
fully received by the people.
General Horacio Vasquez, then head
of the army and now president of the
republic, had organized a provisional
government after the death of Heu-
reaux, but when Jiminez appeared an
election was ordered. Jiminez was
unanimously elected president and Vas

General Horacio NasqueZ, the new
president of Santo Domingo, is also a
Santo DOMINICAN by birth and has
spent nearly all of the forty years of
his life in that country. There had been

General Vasquez, according to his
friends, endeavored to support JimlneZ.
but owing to contracts which the pres
ident is said to have made to the tinan-
cial injury of the republic the vice
president turned against Jiminez and
determined to overthrow him. The
country was ready for a revolution,
and Vasquez placed himself at the
head of the insurrection. Little resist
ance was offered to the insurgents and
the government was overthrown.
General Vasquez's friends represent
him as progressive, intelligent and hon
Wable They say, General VasqueZ
has large heart for his country"
The true story of the killing of Heu-
reaux. who preceded Jiminez as presi-
dent of Santo Domingo, is told by f.
Leconte Vasquez. consul general of the
Dominican Republic in New York city
and brother of the successful leader OF
the recent revolution. He says:
"President Heureaux exercised tyr
amy during his administration of ar
fairs. He wanted to have Remon Ca
ceres shot The latter is now governor
of Santiago de los Caballeros. Caceres
knew this and determined that before
he could be murdered he would first
have the satisfaction of shooting Presl
dent Heureaux.
"He met HeureauX and drew a re
volver. Heureaux was also armed and
drew a weapon. Both fired, but Ca
ceres aim was better, and HeureauX
| was killed. 1t was really a duel"

TAFT S VISIT TO ROME.
Phflippfnes' Governor to Confer
With Vatican Authorities.

The visit of Governor William Fl.
Taft to Rome on his return journey to
his post at Manila is for the purpose
of discussing the question of the friars
in the Philippines with the Vatican au-
thorities. Governor Taft's errand is not
in any sense a diplomatic mission; it
is simply business transaction with
the owners of property.
1t was decided in Washington that
Governor Taft should stop Mt Rome for

These names are then sent to the suf-

names selected by the diocesan council
or may select three entirely different

All these names will then go before

of the United States. No one is consd-

it is evident that the maximum number

minimum must be three.
In Rome the names are weighed and

1t appears that the people who inhab-

coast of North America. collectively
known as the West Indies. absorb a
volcanic temperament from the geOlog-
/ ical pecularities of their habitat.
The recent political upheaval in the
| republic of Santo Domingo is case in
point. Only few years ago the recent
ly deposed president, General Juan Isl-
dor Jiminez, Ousted his predecessor by
| force of arms, and now he is a victim
to the same unceremOnious method of
deposition. His government has recent
| ly been overthrown by Vice President
Horacio Nasquez after field operations
of less than two weeks.
Juan Isidor Jiminez, the deposed
| president of Santo Domingo. is ma.
tive of the' island, of Spanish descent
and is now in his fifty-fifth year. His
father was the first president of the
republic in lS49 but was compelled to
leave the island before his first term
was completed.
Jiminez was prominent merchant
Of Monte Christi n few years ago and
accumulated a large fortune in the ex-
port trade, but his growing influence
aroused the jealousy of Ulysses Heu-
reauX, the president, and he and his
family were eXiled. He lived in Paris
for awhile, then in Hamburg and later
in New York.
In 1898 Jiminez got possession of the
United States steamer Finita, armed
and equipped for an expedition against
the Spaniards in Cuba and sailed from
Mobile under the American flag, but
instead of going to Cuba he sailed for
Santo Domingo. where he had a revo-
| luton organized. He landed at Monte
Christi with eleven men, but did not
find his forces ready to meet him. and

He does not have to be bishop or d

Bishop McQuaid of Rochester. the
senior bishop of the province is quoted
as saying that The logical candidate is
Bishop John n. Farley, auxiliary bish
op of New York. Other names men

Bishop Farley is a native of Ireland

Tortured and Robbed.

Middletown, March Richard
Hastey, well-to-do negro, was held
up, tortured, robbed of S105, and left
for dead Thursday night by three
masked men, who escaped. He was
unconscious and horribly burned and
cut when discovered. Hastey is
widely known as a wealthy negro.
The trio went to his house, east of
town, and demanded his money. On
refusal, they overpowered him and
pressed hot irons - his flesh. This
torture was unavailing, and they then
resorted to assaults. After they had
knocked out his front teeth and
slashed his forehead with n knife,
his fortitude deserted him and he re-
vealed the hiding place of his money.

his disposal than any president had
ever had before him; and he used that
patronage to accomplish his will be-
fore the congress. Moreover, he used
that patronage for the purpose of dis
pelling all opposition to his renom-

The next great imperialist in the

ever was that of any czar; and it was
well for his country Uhat all of his

power of patronage in manner
which tended to educate the senators

of bowling and scraping to an imperial
