SANTO DOMINGO
 MAKES A REQUEST
THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT WANTS RECOGNITION FROM THE UNITED STATES, AND MINISTER POWELL STATES CONDITIONS.

San Domingo. December 1.-The proyi- sional government today made an infor- nal request for recognition to the diplo- matic and consular bodies.
 United States Minister Powell's condi- tions on which the United States will re- cognize the new government are as fol- lows:
 The government must agree to abide by and respect the agreements made by the preceding administrations; must recog- nize the matter of settlement arrived at in the case of the improvement company of New York and the Ros and Sala cases; must recognize and carry into full effect the concession of the Clyde Steamship company and must grant the privilege to the United States to establish at danger ous points on the coast lighthouses to aid maritime commerce.
 Should the provisional government not accept these conditions, it's recognition by the United States is doubtful.
 Owing to the decree of the provisional government making custom house duties payable in cases without considering the contracts entered into with former gov ernments of Santo Domingo. the mer- chants have agreed not to import goods unless the government agrees to set apart thirty per cent of the duty towards the payment of the sums due to merchants under contracts with previous govern ments of the republic. The provisional government is considering the matter. Should it refuse to do. as the merchants request, all importations will be stopped.
 The news from the interior is more fa- vorabe The weak financial condition of the governemnt s unchanged.

OFFER NO WITNESSES.
Counsel for Accused Postal Clerks
 Show Great Confidence.

Baltimore, December 4.-Pinning confi- dence in their belief that the prosecution has failed to make a prima face case against former postal clerks Thomas w. McGregor and Columbus E. Upton, coun- sel for the defense in the trial for alleged conspiracy to defraud the government by selling leather pouches at exorbitant prices decided to close the case without putting a single witness on the stand to testify for their clients.
 When United States Attorney John c. Rose announced that the government closed it's case, 1t was generally thought that witnesses for the defense would be called immediately. William s. Bryan of counsel for the accused caused decid- ed surprise when he arose and said:
 I've don't think the government has made out prima facie case and there fore we will offer no witnesses"
 MT. Bryan then announced that papers will be prepared tomorrow and exchanged between counsel. Arguments will be of fered Monday.

New York, December f-Mrs. Francis Burton, who lives at the Hotel Endicott. received word late tonight that her four teen- year-old son, Theodore. who disap peared while on his way to this city from Birmingham, Ala, had been found in Cincinnati. The despatch announcing that the boy was safe came from the Cincin- natl police. It merely stated that the lad had been picked up while wandering around the streets there and give no in- formation of his movements since he left Birmingham more than q week ago, osten- sibly to come direct to New York
 Theodore's exploration tour, if such 1t was. had caused his mother no end of worry and she was almost frantic, fearing that he had met with some harm. She at once telegraphed to the Cincinnati au thorities asking that they ship her boy to this city at once, ana unless Theodore takes 1t itno ,hs head to explore new fields he ought to be here to give an ac- count of himself tomorrow.

HEROIC SEAMAN RISKS
 LIFE TO SAVE THE ADDER
Punges Into Mountainous Waves While Gale is Raging and Swims 100 Yards to the Drifting Submarine, Which
 is Now High and Dry on the Beach.

Currltuck life saving station reports the Moceasin in good condition without any water in her. From the coast reports, however, 1t is not thought any headway can be made toward floating the vessel without the aid of wreckers, as she is high and dry upon the beach at low wa- ter and directly in a bad surf at high tide.
 The Adder Is leaking and her electrical machinery is badly damaged
 Lieutenant English commanding of- fieer of the Peoria, says the little boats towed very we'll until they were just off the Virginia capes. There the heavy seas running at the time proved too much for the frail towing bits of the Adder, which was following the tug. They snapped short and the two submarines went adrift.
 The Peoria sought to catch them, but they difted southward before the wind. There were only the broken bits on which to get a hold so the tug could only run in between them, and keep them from pumping one another, All Wednesday night this continued and then the line between the boats snapped.
 It was then that Derry swan to the Adder.

 At the same time Dowies representa- tives will ask Judge Kohlsaat to order the receivers to vacate the lace factory at Zion City. This industry is in charge of a corporation and as Dowie is not the sole stoekholder, it will be urged that this concern should not be controlled by the bankruptcy court. Attorney Frank Helmer who represents clients having claims of about s100, 900 against Dowie, said tonight:
 "As nearly as I can determine from an examination of Dowie's accounts, he has assets worth at least LOGO, while the claims against him do not exceed S4OO,OOO If such Is the case it is wrong to con- tinue the receivership.''

There he hauled a thick hawser aboard by means of the life line and made it fast. All this time the Adder was being tossed about like a cork, but Derry held on and accomplish ed his work.

Ohio Senator Admits That He Spent a Very Pleasant EVe-
 ming at White House
REPORTED RUPTURES ARE
 SIMPLY PREPOSTEROUS
Both the President and Senator Hanna Want 1t Understood That There Is No Break In Their Pleas-
 ant Relations.

Washington, December 4.-An important conference was held at the white house tonight between the President and Sem ator Hanna of Ohio. It occurred on the initiative of MT. Hanna and to both par tieipants the conference was perfectly satisfactory. Senator Hanna arrived at the white house at 9:3O o'clock and re- maned with the President until Il o'clock.
 At the conclusion of the conference, which 1t can be said was marked by dis- tinct evidence of sincere friendship and cordiality on both sides, neither the Pres ident nor Senator Hanna cared to discuss for publication the details. It was an- nounced that the reports recently clrcn- lated that there had been or was likely to be any break in the existing pleasant relations between the President and the senator amounted to preposterous absur- dity.
 President Will Ignore Reports.
 The President himself desires to be un- derstood that hereafter he will not take occasion to refer to these reports or to dignify them with any attention. It may be said that the relations between the two are those of cordial and appreciatlve friendship. The conference tor Int dealt principally with pending and prospective legislation before congress. particularly with that relating to the isthman canal and with geneta al political conditions. Both before and since he became cnair- man of the inter-oceanic canal eommit- tee of the senate, MT. Hanna has mani- Tested deep interest in all that relates to the construction of that water way. Their agreement on the subject was absolute. Both it can be said. are confident the position taken by the administration will be approved by the American people.
 The contested confirmation of General Wood was not considered, though an incl dental reference to 1t was made. It Is known that the President and Senator Hanna differ on that subject but each fully recognizes that that difference is honest and sincere. and it is believed hy friends of both that it cannot possibly interrupt their pleasant relations
 Craftsmanship Not Discussed.
 It can be said also that no discussion took place concerning the charmanship of the republican national committee It is known that President Roosevelt has expressed to MT. Hanna a desire that he should retain the chairmanship. The sen- ator has not announced yet his final de- csion regarding the matter It may be said that the state of Mir Hannas health is involved in the decision, and indeed, will be the controlling factor in 1t,
 After Senator Hanna left the White House, he was besieged by newspaper men who desired to learn the result of the con ference. "I spent very pleasant even- ing" he admitted finally. That is about all f4s hax ever, that all these stories about wide differences between the President and myself are absurd. l have no statement to make about the conference"

@ HIcAGo. December 4-stronger proof of the fact that all John
 O Alexander Dowie's creditors are not unit in the desire to have his est tate administered by the bankruptcy court was given this afternoon. Seven creditors, representing claims of more than s10o00, filed an answer in the United States district court in which they ask Judge Kohlsaat to inquire into the ques- tion of Dowie's solvency at once. They denied that the head of Zion City is ir- solvent or that he was in that condition when the bankruptcy proceedings were begun against him. The lawyers who represent these seven creditors declare that additional claims amounting to close to s1O0.OOO will be united in the contest against the bankruptcy proceedings.
 Simultaneously with the filing of these objections, attorneys representing the S1OoOO0 claim of Samuel Stevenson Dowie's brother-inllaw, announced that
