ton Is neutrality-suspicious.
Are Seeking Safety
in Flight.

Cape Haytien, Hayti, October 2e.-The
revolution which has broken out in the
northern part of the republic of Santo
Domingo and which already has resulted
in the establishment of a provisional gov
eminent under the presidency of General
Morales at Puerto Plata, was, according
to advices received here, caused by the
numerous custom house frauds and the
prevarications Of the ministers Of war
and of finance
The signal for the outbreak Of the re-
volt was given at o'clock on Saturday
afternoon by three cannon shots. That
same evening all the partisans of Pres
ident Wos y Gil, at Puerto Plata, We're
arrested. The inhabitants of Monte Cris-
ii. La Ligne and Moca united and attack
ed Santiago. That town is now surround
ed by revolutionists, who have severed
Geographic communication between SaI--
tiaso and La Vega.

This is the first intimation of such an

that he was mistaken

gross dereIictfon of duty, but of wnoly
unauthorized departure from the frlenoly

government and its officials. At the very

Yamagata a warm friend Of the United

suppose that he or any one associated
with him in the government would have
sanctioned such treacherous breach OK
friendship as that attributed to this petty
official IN Manila. There were at the time
some Flipinos In Japan, permitted to re-
main without molestation in pursuance OF
the policy always mainnined by Japan
in respect of political refugees. Their
presence, however, exerted no appreci-
able important interest upon Japanese
public opinion and certainly did not at

government toward this country.
"One cause for doubling the reliability

Insurgents Control Wires.

Washington. October 3o.-A cablegra m
received at the state department today
from United States Minister Powell at
San Domingo reports that conditions
there are in a state of great disturb
ance. The state department is making
strenuous efforts to communicate with
Mr. Powell by cable, but with unsatis-
factory results, owing to the fact that
the insurgents appear to be in possession
Of the land telegraph lines connecting
the capital, San Domingo with the ca>!e
station on the east coast. Incidentally,
this also has interrupted communication
with Venezuela. To guard against any
further cable lapses the state depart
rnent is sending through the navy de-
partment written instructions to Minister
Powell for his guidance during the revolu-
ton and these will go forward on the
Baltimore which sails today from Hamp-
ton Roads directly to San Domingo.

Hurry Orders to Cruiser Baltimore.

Washington, October 28.-Acting Score
tary of the Navy Darling this afternoon
sent orders to the Norfolk navy yard for
the cruiser Baltimore to proceed forth
with to Puerto Plata, San Domingo, to
look after American interests at that
blockaded port 1t is expected the Balti-
more will leave tomorrow. and she should
arrive at her destination by Tuesday.
Further advices have been received by
the state department from United states
Minister Powell touching the outbreak of
the revolution in Santo Domingo. con-
nrming the report of the oeizure of the
port Of Puerto Plata by adhereuts of the
late President JimineZ. who are seeking
to overthrow President Wos Gil He
makes no mention of the reported block
AIDE Of that port by the government war
ship Independence and the incidental
turning away of a Cuban end an Amer
lean steamer.
The state department has called the at
tcntion of tho navy department to the
facts reported by Minister Powell, and
the navy officers are ready to supply any
necessary naval force to protect Amer
lean interests.
IT is said, however. that if the merchant
vessels are simply served with a warning
and are not seized by a blockade force,
and if there is actually such force as to
constitute an effective blockade. there will
be no ground for interference on our
warning. or there is no sufficient govern
ment force to mako more than paper
blockade. then the United States govern
mput will not recognize II.

mean that adding Of 20 ooC, 600 acres or
more Of the most fertile soil in the world
