San Domingo. Republic Of Santa
Domingo, Sunday. Nov. 22.-Presi-
dent Wos Gil, in his efforts to bring
about a peaceful arrangement with
the insurgent forces which are besieg-
ing this city, to-day commissioned
United States Minister Powell, the
Belgian minister, the minister Of
Haiti and the Spanish consul to visit
the insurgent camp. Consequently
an armistice was agreed upon, to ex-
pire at noon. and the peace commits
sion consulted with the insurEent
leaders.
The latter, however, refused to en-
terrain the peace proposals and de-
manded the surrender of the city, but
they prolonged the arrntstice until 8
o'clock this evening, after which hour
the bombardment of San Domingo
will be resumed and will be continued
until the capital falls.
The United States ministers resi-
dence was destroyed during the pre-
vious bombardment The inhabitants
of this city are in a state of panic.
The Italian third-class cruiser Ligu-
ria and the Dutch armored cruiser
Deruiter, have arrived here. The
Dominican warship Presidente went
to Azua de Compostela, about sixty
miles from her last night. The SAM
tary condition of San Domingo is good
| but the poor are suffering from want
| of food. The prices Of provisions are
very high.

YARN SOUNDS FlSHY
Sailors Picked Up From Open Boat
Tell a Queer Story Of
! shipwreck.

San Francisco, Nov. 23.-The nine
men from the French bark, Francois
Coppee, who were picked UP in an
open boat by the steam schooner SEQ
tia, will be brought here tomorrow.
Their names are James Webb, Fred
Olsen, Samuel Rays, Edward Ander-
son, w. G. Taylor, Jean Convinils,
Neil Louis, Fred Briken and G.. ALL
gustus. The following story Of the
wreck of the bark was told by Briken:
About $3.50 Friday night the Coppee
dashed upon rocks at some place north OF
Point Reyes. The weather was very
thick. The sea was heavy. The bark had
been tossed about for a couple of days,
and Captain Inriye seemed unable to fix
his bearings. When she struck we got
ready to launch the three lifeboats. We
had time to provision the boats and then
they We're launched. In the boat with me
were eight others We got away safely.
The boat taken by the captain was
dashed against the foundering vessel anG
the men in it We're thrown into the sea
and washed away. We had been drift.
ing for more than twenty hours wher
picked up by the Scotia.
Captain Johnson Of the Scotia
thinks it strange that the boat should
have had no officers in it, and that
it should have been provisioned as
tho for a long voyage. No wreckage
has been seen along the coast, and
mariners hint at possible trouble or
board the Coppee and await with anx-
iety further news.

MONDAY EVENING,

from the office of the surgeon to the
HON. of Mrs, Davis, a colored woman,
on St Anthony avenue, between Kent
and Arundel streets, where he was
kept until the police began closing in
too tightly. when he WIS hurried to
Minneapolis as told above.
Did They Mislead Police?
The mystery of the case was great
Iy enhanced and the work of the de-
tsctives harnpered by the stories told
by Frank Rrunca, proprietor of q sa-
loon at at East Seventh street, st.
Paul, and by Carmine Ruberto, pro-
prietor of the Bucket OF Blood" sa-
Icon on South Washington street, st.
Paul. T:uLertc claimed that Calder
one was In his place Thursday morn
ing aud tha. he intended going to
Omaha and Branca said that the man
was IN his place for three hours
Thursday afternoon and left there
only when he learned that the police
wanted him for the murder Of Bat
talia. 1t now appears that Calderone
was not In the places mentioned and
thar the men either were mistaken OF
they wilfuliy told the story to deceive
the offic. rs, The police are inclined
to believe that the latter theory Is
the correc. one, and suspect that the
story was originated by people who
were shielding Calderone and holding
him, probably hoping that a reward
would be offered for his arrest.

NEWLANDS' RESOLUTION
Mr.. Hale Attacks It and incidentally
Predicts Annexation of Canada.

Predicts Annexation of Canada.
Washington, Nov. 23.-In the SEN
ate to-day Mr.. Hale, of Maine, moved
to reconsider the vote by which the
Newlands resolution for the annexa-
ton of Cuba was referred to the COM
mittee on relations with Cuba, say
ing that this country had already de-
clared its policy with reference to
Cuba by .enacting the Teller resolu-
ton. All the elements of discomfort
in the island would, he said, indorse
the Newlands measure and among
these he included the Spanish element
in Cuba and American investors there.
He argued that we would not extend
for the union Of Canada to the United
States, but remarked, incidentally,
he had no doubt men now alive would
live to see the annexation of Canada to
the United States.
Mr.. Newlands in reply said that
Cuba had been compelled to confess
her inability to cope with other ma
tons in business affairs. He also re-
ferred to the concession of the privi-
lege granted to the United States fol
erecting Notifications on Cuban sol
and to our supervision Of the foreign
relations of the island as well as fol
the conduct of it's sanitary affairs, an6
| said that, as matter of fact, Cuba
| had already assumed the attitude of {
ward Of the United States.
4 He also advanced the argumen
! that in asking a reduction of the dut!

exceptional request and he though

ical rather than commercial union.

WANT TO TEACH
HIM A LESSON
Senatorial Delay Over the Cuban

buke to Roosevelt.

That He event Off Half
Cooked"
From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building
Washington.
Washington, Nov. 23,-The true
inwardness' of the three-cornered
the senate and the house over the
question Of adjournment next Wednes-
day. has been that some senators have
desired to put the president lin q
hole" that the speaker has desired tC
protect him from the experience, and
that the president has recognized the
futility Of opposing the wishes of the
senate and has yielded.
The president called an extra SEES
sion Of congress to pass the Cuban
reciprocity bill. The house passed it
The senate decided not to pass it until
the regular session. The speaker OPP
posed this on the grounds that II
would convey to the country the i'm
preston that there never had beer
any reason for an extra session and
that the president had acted rashly
and without sufficient consideration
in calling one.
This Is just the impression thai
those responsible for the adjournment
program wish to convey. There ha:
been a feeling among many senators
and representatives that the call fol
one was piece Of unnecessary 'stren-
uosity," and that the bill could just
as We'll nave peen pdSSeu 81 the fSSu-
lar session.
This feeling has not been so widely
diffused In the country at large as
some senators would like to have it
The presidents program is to have the
extra session adjourn sine die or
Wednesday.
Then the bill is to be voted upol
and passed in the senate on Dec. II
ten days after the regular session
opens. In this way the gentleme,
originally responsible for the ad
journrnent will, they hope, have mad
another demonstration of Roosevelt
tendency to perform official acts gu
Of mere desire to be always doiss;
something" as Senator German put
it..
The plan originated with democrat
ic senators and republican senator
are about to avow that they had n
hand in it and would have liked to re
main in session until the bill wa
passed If the democrats had only per
mitted them to do so. Nobody ca:
produce absolute proof that this is no
true. The fact that the repuhlical
side is fairly honeycombed with sen
ators who enjoy nothing more tina,
teaching the president lesson" a
they put it, lends color to the belief
however, that their instantaneous sur
render to democratic demands wa
not very painful to them.

HOUSE WON'T ADJOURN
Will Remain in session Until Bill Is
Passed in Senate.

Washington, Nov. 23.-While no
proposition has been transmitted to
the house from the senate looking to
an early adjournment of the extra
session, this matter was the subject of
several conferences to-day between
leaders of the house and Speaker Cam
non. There was but one sentiment
expressed, and that was that adjourn
ment ought not to be taken until the
Cuban measure was finally disposed Of,
or the extra session had lapsed into
the regular session.
Should the senate transmit to the
house a resolution for adjournment Of
the special session, the present dis
position of that body will be to ig-
more the resolution on the ground that
there Is not a quorum present to con-
slider it.
Leading members Of the house say
the, whole house was held in Wash
ington until a vote was taken on the
Cuban bill with the understanding
that they could then go to their
homes. This great many of them
have done, and there will be no eff
fort made to recall them to the cap
itol until after the extra session is
about to lapse into the regular meet
ing Of congress.
