MINISTER POWELL
WANTS WARSHIPS
Reports That Insurgents Arc
Marching on City OF
San Domingo.
NOW ENRCuTE
German Warships Are ooalins at St
Thomas, Preparatory TO Sailing
to San Dominso-Situation
cccns:aerea Serious.

San Domingo, Nov. 9.-United States
Minister Powell has Informed the DOM
inican government. that its proposition
mingo improvement company, of New
York, is not accepted by his govern
menr, which insists upon the naming
of the arbitrator without further de-
lay.
+, Washington, Nov. ga cablegram
has just been received at the state de-
partn1ent from United States Minister
Powell, dated at San Domingo city,
stating that the insurgents are march
ing OF that city, and asking that a
warship be at once sem there. The
cruiser Baltimore, which sailed from
Hampton Roads several days ago., is
now due at a Domingo, and the state
department believes that her presence
there will be sufficient.
! ST. Thomas, b.. w. T., Nov. 1.-THE
German warships here are coaling, and
lit is reported that they have been hur-
,riedly ordered to San Domingo, owing
to the seriousness of the situation
there.
/. PowelI's Stringent Move.
ST. Thomas, B. w. l., Nov. 9.--Ths
Dominican warship stopped the Clyde
line steamer Cherokee as the latter was
nearing Puerto Plata and informed the
captain that he could not enter that
,,nort. The Cherokee then proceeded for
SANTANA, n was also prevented from
entering that port, the minister of war
ordering the captain of the Cherokee to
proceed direct to the capital.
On the arrival of the vessels here
the government demanded mai the
cargo intended for Puerto Plata and
SaInana be landed at this port. The
agent of the company and the captain
of the Cherokee refused to comply with
this demand and appealed to United
States Minister Powell for protection.
Minister Powell interviewed the presi-
dent and argued since the government
of Santo Domingo had not advised the
foreign legations Of any blockade it
could not prevent the Cherokee from
entering the ports of Puerto Plata and
SANTANA, n insisted that the cargo
should be landed at it's destination. The
president in reply reiterated his de-
mand that the Cherokee cargo be land
ed at saE Domingo, but this Minister
Powell refused to permit and declared
he would hold the government respon-
sible should any violent action be
adopted toward the Cherokee.
A Pilot Refused.
When the Cherokee was ready to
leave for Aqua clearance papers We're
refused and it was again demanded
that she land her cargo at this port.
Minister Powell wrote a sharp note to
the government, demanding a permit
for the Cherokee to depart. The gov
eminent refused to allow a pilot on
board the vessel, and Minister Powell
then instructed Captain Archibald to
take his ship out and proceed for Aqua,
keeping his cargo aboard and landing
it at the ports of destination.
The energetic action of Minister Pow
ell has caused a great sensation, espe-
cially as his proceeding lacked the sup
port of an American warship. The
Cherokee left the harbor without a
pilot.
The city is quiet. but preparations
looking to its defense are in active

The ground surrounding the spot Where

The skeletons were found only about

stated. in & far state of preservation.
The other crurnbled when exposed TO the

AS they We're discovered at a point

they had been buried for many years,
doubtless before the advent OF the white

wv SUDDEN DEATHS.
From Indications Both Must Have
Seen Clear Cases of Suicide.

Seen Clear Cases of Suicide.
Sioux Falls, S. D.. Nov. 1i.-Two Ode
deaths, one which is a clear case of sui
eide and the other bearing every indica-
lioi, of having been suicide also, shocked
the people of Sioux Falls this morning.
DR.. Esbert George, aged over so years,
who made his home with his daughter,
Mrs, w. c. Dockstaser. was found dead
In his room this morning. Contrary to his
usual custom, the door to his room was
closed. The gas jet was found turned on,
indicating that he had turned on the gas
and closed the door with the deliberate
intention of ending his life. w. c. Dock
Stader had returned from an eastern trip
on the early morning train, and had been
aorne only a short time when the old mans
body was discovered. He aided his grief
stricken wife TO care for the body of her
fa3her and to sumlnon neighbors, when
he remarked he would go into the base
ment and care for the furnace. His pro-
longeu absence caused search to be made
for him. which resulted in finding his dead
body in the basement. He had killed him
self with a revolver. The bullet was fired
into his head, entering under the chin.
Grief at the death of the old man and
his wv misfortunes are supposed to have
been the reasons for his taking his life.

to make the appearance of acceding to

engineer of No.. 6 was given the money to
throw from his engine at the given signal,
the explosion of three torpedees under his
side of the engine. The torpedoes were not
exploded.
It was reported; however, that No. 25,
preceding No. 6 a half hour, had exploded
the torpedoes. This or some other new

WILL GoEs TO PROBATE.
Judge Says Bryan Did Not Use U
Influence With Bennett.

New Haven, Conn, Nov. fudge
Cleveland in probate court today an
nounced he had decided there was nc
undue influence by William j. Bryan
over the late Philo S.. Bennett in the
construction of the latter's will, but
that the sealed letter about which,
there has been SO much contention was
not incorporated in the will. He finds
the document properly executed. In
his decision the judge says: TT is not
the province OF this court in probating
a will to construe its provisions" The
Sc1mal announcement Of the decree was
postponed until tomorrow by reason OF
Mr.. Bryan's absence.
In rendering the decision Judge
Cleveland said.
i lind the question whether the will
was properly executed was not raised.
! find it was Improperly executed, and
that the testator had sufficient testa-
mentary capacity. I find there was
no undue influence by Bryan over Ben
nett. It was claimed the sealed letter
should be Incorporated In the will. j
ind that reference in the will is suffi-,
Gent as to the letter, yet the language
In he document itself plainly indicated
the will was executed before the letter
was written. There was in existence
before the will was executed a dupli-,
cate OF the sealed letter. That is CON
sidered in support of the contention
that the paper was q part of the will.
The sealed letter was found with the.
will. I find there was no undue In
fuence, but that the sealed letter was
not Incorporated in the will.''
The court further said he expressed
no opinion as to whether the sealed
letter, which gives s5o,000Sto Bryan and
family, can be incorporated In the@will3
1T may be- urged" he continued
.'that itscan be used. but as to that the
court a no opinion to express
The Judge stated it was a question
whether the probate court had the
right to consider the construction Of
the sealed letter. 1t is also a question
whether the lawyers In the case could

matter as to bring 1t within the prov
