TWO REVOLUTIONS
Occupy Attention Of Hot-Head-
ed San Domingans.
Jiminez Fighting One, While CsIIe-
tier Forms One Of His Own.
Very Little BIoodshed but Plenty Of
Real Excitement.

Washington, Dec. 28.-The State de-
partment, today, received the following
undated dispatch from Minister Powell
regarding the progress of the revolu-
tionary movement in San Domingo:
Another revolution at Aqua and at
Barihooda with another provisional
government there. This makes two
revolutions and a couple Of govern
ments, one in the north and center
and one in the south.
The newest Dominican revolution is
at last in full swing with former Pres.
Jimenez marching on the capital tc
Gust the government which he helped
to establish, last month, after over
throwing another government.
This dispatch on the subject, dated
Saturday, was received at the State
department, Sunday. from w. L. Pow
ell, United States charge d'affaires at
Santo Domingo City:
"In surgent troops marching on San
to Domingo City from Macoris. New
port Omitted States gunboaD is here.
German fleet arrives, Sunday. Macor-
is has declared in favor of Jimenez."
The State department also received
a mail report from Charge dAffaires
Powell reviewing the revolution which
ended few weeks ago in the over
throw of President Wos y Gil, and the
establishment of the present provision
al government which EXPIRES. Jimenez
is seeking to GUST.
Mr.. Powell says:
What may surprise the department;
is that this may be called bloodles:
revolution. Though over $4,000 rounds
of ammunition have been used on both
sides, and there has been constant fir
ing by both sides night and day On
the attack on Santo Domingo City,, tht
total loss on both sides numbers %
and these principally from stray bull
lets and accidents. The insurgents los.
numbered two men. Nor was this los:
greater in other sections. AT Monte
Christi, none; at Pperto Plata none; a
Santiago, about 20 this includes tho
loss on both sides); at Mocha, none; a
La Vega, none; at Macoris, none. The
only places 1 have not heard from are
Aqua and Barahona."
Mr.. Powell gives some interesting
information about the danger and ex
element which fell to the lot of Amer
lean diplomatic representatives in the
Dominican republic.
1.-The house in which l formerly re
sided. about one mile from the city,
he says, suffered more than any o
thu, surrounding buildings. 1t is almos
a wreck and looks as if both sides hat
used 1t as a target. There is not {
room that'tis habitable: several sheil'
have bursf inside and rifle balls tina
have perforated it make some parts o
it look like a sieve. Many of my thing:
that left, as l did not care to remove
all to my present quarters, are ruined
and if we had remained this Office
would have been in need OF another
representative, as the present incum
bent and thosc with him would have
passed to another existence"

MONEY No OBJEcT.-Many years ago
the writer visited the Hawaiian Is
lands. In making a trip around one OF
the smaller islands we came one day
upon a veritable bit Of Eden. In the
backgrounds were the mountains reach
ing to the clouds; about US half doz-
ell grass houses, each in it's setting OF
verdure, shadowed by cocoanut palms,
before us the quiet waters of the lagoon
with the white line of the barrier reef,
and beyond that the indigo sea reach
ing to the horizon. We sat down in
the shade to rest and a native came
out to interview US. He was a perfect
specimen of uncivilized man. In the
prime of life, six feet tall, straight as
an arrow, with a frank open counte-
nance and an inch-wide lace pattern

Dollars a Month.

Patrick Driscoll owns four Of the

than $50 a month for his personal COM

come from the Driscoll bank account
to poor miners and their families.
Driscoll is supposed to be worth be-

come from his mines is $4,000 month,
and he draws about $4,000 year divi-

invested in the early days. He has no
relatives as far as he knows.
The old miner had experienced all
the prospectors proverty and hard
ships until he was past middle age.
when he drifted down to the Calico
mines in San Benardino county, Cali
fornia, in 1881. There he found a
mine which he sold for $4,000. This
gave him his first capital to deal with
in mining on his own account. From
Calico he went to Arizona, and in two
years located base ore mine Of silver,
gold and lead in combination. The
Diana and Antrim mines became his.
