ASSASSINATION PLOT.
Aqainst William F. Powell, United
States Minister to Hayti Dis
closed in Letter.

New York, Dec. 15-An alleged plot
to assassinate William F. Powell,
United States minister to Hayti and
charge d'affaires at Port Au Prince,
Santo Domingo has been disclosed In
a communication from an official Of the
present Dominican government to a
fellow countryman in this city who
was formerly an official under the de-
posed President of the republic, Wos
Gil. The letter states that the plot
was 50 arranged that ex-President il.
minez, under whose leadership Wos y
Gil was overthrown, should be killed
about the same time. 1t was planned
to kill Powell "by accident" during a
street melee, engaged in by the plot
tiers. Jiminez was to be the victim OF
a plain assassination and already two
unsuccessful attempts have been
made upon his person. The plot
against Powell is said to have been
abandoned because of the strong
stand taken by a member of the cabi-
net although the diplomat is being
carefully guarded now wherever he
goes. His opposition to the plans OF
certain officials caused him to be
marked for assassination.

LARGE SLUICE GATE
FOR THE RESERVOIR
Will Increase the Storage Capacity From Five
to Eight Millions Gallons.To Be Arranged
So As to Be Thrown Open Instantly in
Case of Heavy Floods.

A large sluice gate for the reser-
voir.
at is my intention to build a largc
|sluice gate at the mouth of the ditch
leading to the big reservoir" said Man.
ager w. H. Friedman of the Santa
Fe Water anu Light Company, "for the
purpose of holding back the water
The fall of the water being over six
feet from the old reservoir to the
mouth of the ditch, it will result in all
of the sand and gravel being washed
out, and the storage capacity Of the
reservoir will be increased from five to
eight million gallons in capacity, which
will materially increase the available
water supply at all-times.> The sluice
gates will be so arranged that they
can be thrown open instantly in case
of heavy floods"
Open Ditchway Completed.
1.-The removal of the old tunnel and
the construction of an open ditchway
to the reservoir has been completed
with the exception of some stone work
at the mouth of the ditch which will
not be undertaken until spring on ac-
count of the cold weather.
"The sides of the reservoir have

to four hundred loads of rubbish hav.
ing been carted away as the result.
The force of men employed began to-
day the work of cleaning out the bot
tom of the reservoir, which will leave
it in first class condition for the snow
water and that from the mountains
and the spring rains"
Mr. Friedman announces that 1T
behooves all consumers to waste as lit
tie water as possible, as the extreme
dry weather during the past two years
has left the water in the river very
low. In the event of the river freez-
ing solid there is liable to be scarcity
of water for several weeks during the
winter.
New Fire Hydrants Placed.
During the past few days a force OF
men has been at work putting in six
new fire hydrants, three on the plaza,
one in front of the fire company's 8
headquarters on Lincoln Avenue, an
other at Water and Shelby Streets, and
the sixth in front of the court house on
Palace Avenue.
During his absence in the east Mr..
Friedman will place an order for more
hydrants and for several miles of eight,
six and four inch iron pipe for extend
ing the present water mains.

terfered
The United States Minister Allen
has demanded definite answer from
the Korean government in regard to
the opening of the port at Wiju. De-
spite the American, British and Japan
ese pressure, the Russian influence
over the Korean government is appar-
emily unshaken and it is expected that
Korea will procrastinate in dealing
with the matter and possible may
eventually refuse to act at all.
The feeling of unreast is growing
among the Korean people, who fear
that whether it be peace or war be-
tween Russia and Japan that the ex-
tinction of the empire is imminent. 1t
is believed that an outbreak of hos
tilities or the announcement of pro-
tectorate of any kind will precipitate
the trouble.
Foreigners in Seous expect disorder
and American residents desire war
ships. The Korean army, numbering
5000 men, is considered one OF the
most dangerous factors in the situa-
ton as an insubordinate element be-
yond control in case of trouble, for
it is feared that the soldiers will be
the first to lead the rioting and begin
the looting,
A part of the Russian squadron has
already departed for Port Arthur add
the remainder of the fleet will follow,
leaving no warships of that nation In
