foreign non-combatants were killed.
During the attack on Sunday after
noon an insurgent shell passed within
few feet of Mr. Powell, the American

Early Sunday night there was an
other heavy attack, but the rebels
were again repulsed. The losses are
unknown.
Several shells exploded in the city

Previous to the beginning of the

revolutionists notified the diplomatic
corps and the consular officers that
they had previously served notice on
the Dominican government that the
forces of the revolution intended to
adopt all means including lombard

city. The representatives of the
powers met today and decided that

treasure chest containing $4,000, ar
rived yesterday before the city.
The situation here is becoming very
critical and the presence of more
warships at San Domingo is urgently
required.
The guard for the German consulate
which was landed from the cruisers
of Germany now in port; is in constant
communication with the latter by the
means of a signal station which has
been erected over the consulate. :
The German steamer Athen. which
was prevented some days ago from
landing her cargo at San Pedro de
Macoris under the protection of the
German cruiser succeeded in landing
her freight at that port and has pro-
ceeded to the northern ports of Santo

passengers. The Athen has a Ger

cilitate the discharging of her freight.

Haytien and also from Paris last night
saying that rumors were In circulation

THE NEW CHICAGO GREAT WESTERN PASSENGER STATION
Will Be Opened to Public Next Week.

ing. 1T Is such an Improvement over the
superior accommoda lions will be high
~ appreciated by the public. The
building is small, hut in every way
complete in all the minor details. The
passenger portion of the depot occupies
the west end of the building, and is
partially divided into two waiting
rooms by the ticket Office and toilet
rooms. The one to the west is for the
men, while the one to the east is for the
use of women. Leading from each are
layato The ticket Office is between
the two rooms and is accessible thru
one, window from each. The interior
of the. waiting rooms, while not elabo-
rate, is neat and serviceable. The
woodwork is of white pine, the vain
scoting extending fully five feet high
and around the entire interior. The
walls are done in grayish- pink tint,
with a darker border and ceiling. Both
electricity and gas will be used for
purposes, altho the latter only
in case, of accident. as 1t impairs the
service of the former. Chandeliers and
clusters of lights arranged on the side
walls furnish the light when needed.
Immediately to the east of the ticket
office, which occupies the bay window,
is a little room separated from the
waiting rooms and tisket Office, for the
use of trainmen. During the day time
only passenger trains will receive their
orders at the passenger station, as the
day operator will have his office in the
freight building. AT night. however,
the operator will occupy the passenger
station Office. The east portion OF the
building is divided into two rooms. The
one occupying the end of the building
will be the baggage room and the other
will be used by the Wells-Fargo Elk
press Company. The building is heated
by a hot air furnace, situated in the
basement
The platform recently laid in front of
the station is but temporary and will
be torn UP in the spring and replaced
at the time the space west of the build
ing and on Third avenue, which is to
be paved for the use of buses and
baggage wagons. The plan of the
building is much like that of the union
station, except on smaller scale.

LOCAL COMMENT.
& eeeAeeee4eeseseAAeeeeeess

While there is yet some little time
before the opening of the active build
ing season Marshalltown business men
and capitalists are getting their heads
together and planning for the work
of improving the city. In the news
columns this week reference has been
made to two enterprises which, II
seems, are very likely to be carried
thru. There appears to be an interest
manifest on the part of outside con-
Germs to come to Marshalltown, and all
that is lacking is the proper sort of
place to do business. The rebuilding
of the fremont Block and the erection
OF the Masonic Temple will afford an
of new store rooms and OIL
ce apartments and, If constructed along
the lines suggested and now conteni-
plated, each will be a credit to the
city. The improvements on a portion
of the Masonic Block will also be very
and the time is not far dis
tant but that similar improvements
will have to be made in many of the
buildings erected several years ago.

loads shipped by pr. e. S. Burroughs,
