NsK York, Dec. 17.-An alleged plot
to assassinate William, F. Powell,
Unfted. States minister to Haiti, and
charge at Port-au.Prince. santo Do
mingo, has been disclosed in COM
munication from an officis1 Of the pres
i snt Dominican government to fellow
countryman in this city who formerly
was; an official under Wos y Gil. the
recently deposed president Of the re-
public 3%, e,
The. letter states that the plot had
been so arranged that eX-President
Jiminez, under whose Leadership Wos
Gil was overthrown, should be killed
at about the same time. The plot to
assassinate Minister Powell; it was as
serted, was conceived because Of his
opposition to plans of certain officials.
The plan, as reported, was toilet two
or three men
Get Into a Fight
on the street while Mr.. Powell was
passing. It was arranged in the me-
lee other plotters should engage and
it would be an easy matter to kill the
American "by accident"
With regard to Jiminez, the writer
asserts that he was to be the victim
at plasn ASSASSINATION and that already
two unsuccessful attempts have been
made upon his life. The first occurred
Dec. 6, when a shot was fired at him
while he was driving. The second at
tempt was made three days later.
Jiminez was the candidate for the
presidency in opposition to Gen.
Morales, and the partisans OF the men
who desire to succeed Wos = Gil are
said to be at logserheads.
While the plot against Minister
Powell is said by the author OF the let
ter to have been abandoned because
Of strong stand taken by member
of the cabinet, It is said the American
diplomat is being guarded Whenever
he goes out.

Government Docs Not Expect ia Send
Troops to Isthmus.
Washington, Dec. 17-Regarding the
various reports about the dispatch Of
troops to the Isthmus Of Panama, the:
Associated Press is ah1e to make this
statement:
Until the senate shall have ratified
the Hay-Bunau Varilra treaty the adj
ministration will look to the marines
to protect the isthmus and keep order
there unless in the meantime it IL
learned that a considerable force OF
Colombian troops is to attack Pans-
ma. In the latter event the protection
Of the republic could best be accom-
plfshsd by the army, and troops would
supplant the marines. It may be
stated. however. that this government
does not expect such an emergency to
arise at present and has prepared to
retain the present force of marines in
isthmian waters until after the ratift
cation Of the canal treaty.

hiuNO LOi GOES
READY FOR SPED

The Mauna Loa sailed on her
old run for Lahaina. Maalaea, Kona
and Kau ports a little after noon to-
day. The Intar-Island Steam Naviga-
ton company's flagship is now prac-
tically new boat. She has been
painted, repaired and refurnished in
all quarters. The most important item
Is the repairs to her machinery. She
has been furnished with complete set
of new boiler tubes. Great things are
expected out OF the Mauna Loa's speed
by the Inter-Island people. 1t is not
probable that any special attempt will
be made for speed during this present
trip, during which the engines will
find themselves" as Kipling says. On
the next trip she will start from Homo
lulu at the same time as the Wilder
Steamship Companys flagship, the XII.
nau. The Mauna Loa's people are Gag
er to have the two boats test their
speed and should race come off from
Honolulu to Lahaina it would be sure
to create the greatest interest and
would settle many disputes among the
waterfronters regarding the relative
speed Of the two flagships.

ALAMEDA ARRIVES

The Oceanic steamship Alameda ar

morning. She was locked at the
Hackfeld wharf at about $3.50 O'Clock.
The Alameda experienced strong east

out the voyage with heavy sea. AS
the sea was running behind her 1t did
not cause much discomfort. The steam
ship made the trip in five days and
twenty hours. On July 5, at 1880 a. m,

The Alameda ended her last trip
from this port with an incident which
is described by the Chronicle of July
/ as follows:
At the end of a remarkably calm and
uninteresting trip from Honolulu, the
steamer Alameda hunted into the end
of Pacific street wharf yesterday af-
ternoon while trying to get into her
slip, narrowly missing serious injury
to herself. The wharf, one of the most
solid on the water front. was damaged
to the extent OF several hundred dol
lars, the large stringers and the stout
planking being cut through, and the
shed being caved in. A number of per-
sons narrowly escaped INJURY, and one
man on the wharf was knocked down
by the shock. The Alameda's anchor
was lost as the result of the chain be-
ing broken by the grinding against the
wharf. The accident was attributed to
strong tide.

N|NNEIONKA PASSED
THROUGH bad STORM

The San Francisco Chronicle gives
an account of the trip Of the Mime
tOnkas slow trip to port:
Fully a week overdue on the trip
f.Om Coronel. the American steamer
MInnetonka reached port yesterday
afternoon, eighty-seven days from the
Chilean port. Pacing her deck was a
raving maniac. Portuguese sailor,
known as Sam, who gesticulated and
shouted when the quarantine officials
and the newspaper men boarded the
vessel of Black Point. He had lost his
reason soon after the steamer left the
Atlantic Coast. but had been harmless
during the trip. He will be looked
after by the authorities here.
Upon the arrival of the MinnetonRa
T. was learned that she had passed
through the great storm off Chile and
had experienced a trying time. Leav.
ing Coronel on May 27th, the steamer
was off Coquimbo when the Arequipa
and several other vessel struck her.
This was on June I'd and Sd. The
MinnCtonka was blowing along at her
usual 9.knOt rate, when, almost with.
out warning, the hurricane swept down
upon her from the north, gradually
veering to the southwest. II was i'm
possible to keep the ships head to the
seas. and for the greater part of these
two days giant waves swept over both
sides of the big steamer. curling clear
over the bridge where Captain Evans
I and one other officer braced them
selves and remained on duty. Laden
with s 600 tons OF freight. the Mime
tonka labored heavily, her decks
swirlng with the seas that came
aboard, but no serious damage result
ed and the worst that took place was
the failure OF the big freighter tc
maintain her progress. For the entire
two days of the storms duration sh,
did not make more than ten knots. She
was. in reality. driven backwards. The
straining of her engines and boiler:
resulted in the failure of the boiler
tubes to do their duty, and when the
tremendous storm howled away into
the northeast 1t left the Minnetonka''
boilers impaired, and the vessel
week behind time.
Mrs. Evans resigned herself to what
she believed was inevitable destruc
ton and retired to her room. Fol-
hours the angry waves broke on the
Minnetonka's decks, pounding with q
weight of tons, and adding terroriz
iLg sound to the roar of the winds
while the huge steamer, wallowing II
the sea. was swinging in all directs
and appeared 20 be entirely at the
mercy of the tempestuOus waves. Bu
on the bridge, exposed to the fury o.
the storm, Captain Evans and another
officer were always in control of the
steamer. The steering gear held. thu
engines continued to do the strenuous
work cXacted of them, and in time thu
stout ship emerged from the ordeal
Put during the big storm the Mime
tonka was hove to for eight hours.
After the storm had passed Captain
Evans found that he was farther soutl
