COST MANY LIVES.
Twelve Persons Killed and Sixty
Wounded During the Riot at
Port of Spain.

Port of Spain, Trinidad, March 25.-
Twelve natives were killed and so
wounded, many Of them noncombat-
ants and women, during Mondays
rioting. The government building
was entirely destroyed by the rioters
and the police barracks was damaged
by fire and water. All the government
records in the colonial secretary's Of
flee, the courthouse, the crown lands
and other departments were de-
stroyed.
The rioting had it's origin in the OPP
position to the new water ordinance,
which reduced the water allowance
per head and increased the water rate.
The courthouse was surrounded while
the legislative council was in session
discussing the water ordinance. The
rioters then demolished the contents
of the lower floor of the government
building and set fire to it. All those
attending the meeting were assailed
with missiles, many persons being
struck by stones and bottles. The
fire drove the people from the build
ing and, aided by part of the local
military force, they defended their
lives with rifles.
The rioters then, evidently with a
view to plumber, threatened to burn
the business portion of the town. The
commander of the British cruiser Pal
las. lying in the harbor, was informed
Of the serious situati ton, and he land
ed detachments of blue jackets from
the Pallas and the torpedo boat de-
stroyer Rocket with four machine
guns. Two hundred citizens were
armed and sworn in as special con-
stables. The sailors and volunteers
rendered invaluable service in patrol
ling the streets throughout the night
and guarding the bank, treasury and
other public buildings. Order was
thus restored. More speeches are be-
ing made against the water ordinance,
and there is a proba ability of further
serious trouble. The courthouse,
which cost S35O,OoO, is completely
quilted and the contents of the vault
totally destroyed.
San Domingo, Republic of Santo Do
mingo, March 25.-Quiet has been re-
stored in this city by the warships in
port.
The minister of war, Senior Pichardo,
has surrendered to the revolutionists
and the minister of posts and tele-
graphs, Senior Castillo, has joined the
foreign minister, Senior Sanchez, in
seeking refuge at the United States
consulate.
The inhabitants of the villages
around this city are joining in the revo-
lutionary movement. No news is OBJ
tainable from the southern and north
ern parts of the island.
If the north and south refuse to join
in the revolutionary movement the
situation may become more serious
than it is. Commerce is at standstill
and there is considera BILE anxiety as to
the future.
4 warship is going to San Pedro de
Mecoris, to the eastward Of this city,
in order to compel it to surrender.
The warship Presidente, which is off
the northern coast of the island, is in

made it appear to the reader that he
was participating in the details OF the

knowledge only in a broader sense. The

40 years ago The elaborate and con-
gruous manner of all Mr.. Hackett's pro-
auctions was, it is said, again illustra-
ted in his presentation of this play last
spring, and it is this production and
company which Mr.. Hackett will offer
here According to reports from other
cities, which are unanimous from New
York, Philadelphia, Boston and else
where. The Crisis" in its dramatic
form is a play in which the characters
are allowed to assume only that relative
prominence which they are given in the
novel. 1t is therefore testimony to MI
Hackett's managerial judgment that he
is appearing this season in part which,
while it is a central one, IS in effect the
leading man in a gathering of import
ant and strongly drawn characters.
These are the plays which are most
satisfying to the public because they ap-
pear as pictures of real life and not as
connections to laud the qualities of an
/ impossible individual.
