These be prosperous days for the Hotel
Muro in West Fourteenth street. TIE
Hotel Muro " the Spanish-American revo-
luton factory in New York San Domingo
revolutions are the specially there just
low. The Jimenez faction, which was
the Dominican Government yesterday and
hopes to be the Government again to-
morrow. meets In the front parlor The
Morales faction. which is the Government
to-day and hopes to hang OF for while.
has consultations in the next parlor The
keyhole in the folding doors between is
plugged with paper from both sides.
Senior Galvan, who is the boss consp' orator
of the Jimenez conspiracy, is in the city
now. He seldom leaves the hotel, but
when callers go to see him who have r. OF
the J!menez password they nva rabiy
find that he is out.
In the lobby Of the hotel are outposts,
spies and lookouts Of both fac; ions They
are st studiously oblivious of each others
alleg. lance. Each tries politely TO make
the other think that the appearance OF
lack Of interest in the affairs Of the others
party is mutull But when the clerk says
to the caller: "Sefior Galvan, he is out,
the members of the opposition, the Morales
gang, laugh in their sleeves and say mock
ingly, "Ah, the Senior Galvan; he is o-u' !"
Eut let the caller ask for Sehor N!llalon
The clerk smiles blanol, and saws:
Il think he is not here, Eut | will see"
The bell boy takes a long and elaborate
message in Spanish, which the visitor is not
SUPPOSED TO understand and which runs
about as follows:
Tell Sehor Vllalon that an unfamiliar
person smoking an American cigar of some
expense who has a mysterious eye and is
not .isbiy armed, but VINO appears not to
he his friend and may be a spy from de-
tectve agency is here and represents him
sell as reporter for RI Sol
lie DellDoy comes back and with imper-
tubable countenancc says:
Senior Nillalon he is out"
And the Galvan sympathizers and look
outs in the lobby raise their eyebrows
and show their teeth to one another and
nurm,u: "Ha. The Senor Nillalon, he is
out"
Meanwhile the oonspracies hum and
buzz in the two parlors. Messengers come
from downtown, from the consulates of the
other Central Amer lean countries. Mes
srngers come from the Hotel America,
messengers who have merely walked
around the block TO air their own ideas.
just how important and weighty some of
these ideas a"e may be gathered from the
crrand of Senior Galvan to District Attorney
Jerome at the Criminal Courts Building
some few weeks ago.
IL was during an interval when the Gal
van crowd was the Dominican Govern
mem. Scior Galvan called upon the most
honorable and learned and philanthropic
District Attorney and informed Mr..
jerome that he bad the greatest and most
wonderful political opportunity of his
life. (Mr jerome was at that time trying
to convinc. his fellow citizens that Mr.. Low
would not be an rresistiby popular candi-
date for the Mayoraltyl
Sefior Galvan said that Mr. Jerome be-
held before him an opportunity 20 be the
savior of the liberties of Santo Domingo.
How? asked Mr.. Jerome. By seiZing
all the ships in the harbor bound for South
American and Central American ports
and taking from them all arms intended
for the Morales revout ionists. 1t was n
simple matter. said Sen or Galvan. and
Santo Domingo would alw avs venerate the
name of Jerome for the aid he might give.
MIR, jerome was cold to the oppnrt unity
and insisted that the United States District
Attorney was the right man for Mr.. Galvan
