Capital of Santo Domingo Groans Under Her Rulers.
THREATENED WITH ANOTHER SIEGE

Situation Is Alarming, as Gunboat
 Newport and Her Small Crew Are
 Only Protectors Now In Port
 Should an OuthreaL. Occur.
 sANTO DOMINGO, Dec. 29.-The sit. uation here is extremely critical The provisional president, General Morales, is absent from the city, and the provi- sional minister of foreign affairs, ir terror, has resigned, as a. consequence of which the council of ministers Is in complete.
 General CelIetier has formed provi- sional government at Azua de Compos- tella, presided over by himself, and the inhabitants of Barahona have joined in the movement, and the two forces are jointly marching on this city. Conse- quently there are now two provisional governments in the republic.
 The German warships have left here for Kingston, Jamaica The United States guaboat Newport is the only war vessel here, and owing to her small crew she cannot restore order if a se- rious outbreak occurs. The situation demands the presence of more war ships.
 The provisional government endeavor- ed to secure loan of $20,0OO for the purpose of defending the city against the insurgents; but, being without re- sources, the government could not guar antee the loan nor the city against pill lage by the insurgents.
 Should they succeed in effecting an entrance to the city it is expected that the members of the provisional govern ment and their immediate supporters will withdraw to the fort. This action will no doubt cause fighting in the streets, the result of which will be the placing of the lives of foreigners in danger.
 United States Minister Powell has been requested to call a meeting of the l diplomatic and consular corps for the purpose of taking measures to protect foreign lives and property.
 The greater part of the republic of Santo Domingo has declared In favor of General Jiminez, the former presi- dent of the republic. The provisional government here is making active prep arations for defense.

Fourth Of July at Townvllle.

Not many places in this State can
equal Townville, Anderson County,

throngs of people when an occasion
calls them together from what is
known as the Fork, the fertile and

make the occasion enjoyable and
profitable. He was assisted by a

and there was nothing lacking in the
cordial welcome to visitors.
The speaking was in the academy
grove, where a stand had been
erected, and not less than three
thousand people were in attendance.
The proceedings were opened with
prayer by Rev. II. G. Ligou, and the
Introductory speech was made by
Norman l.. Prince, of Ander-
son, a young man of good address
and fluent speech, who extended a
most hearty greeting to the veterans
and others, and gracefully introduced
the speakers. James A. Hoyt, of
Greenville, Robert A. Thompson, of
Walhalla, E. M. Rucker and M. l..
Bonham, of Anderson, occupied the
time allotted for speaking, which
was followed by summons to din
ner. The excellent housewives had
prepared an abundance of good
things, and the immense crowd re-
sponded with alacrity to the invita-
tions of their hosts. In the after
noon game of base ball was the
centre of attraction. The music
was furnished throughout the day
by an excellent band from Lavonia,
Ga, composed of six young men
who are not only good musicians,
but worthy and estimable gentlemen.
