PLOT TO SLAY A. U. S. CONSUL
Passenger From San Domingo Says
Powel's Life Was Sought.

New York, Dec. 16.-Reliabe infor-
nation has reached this city that plot
was Matched m the provisional govern
ment of Santo Domingo to assasinate
the United States minister to that re-
public, William F. Powell, and also
General Juan Jiminez, the prospective
president of the republic. 1t is fur
ther alleged that two attempts have
been made already to assassinate Jimi-
nez.
The reason given for the plot aginst
Mr.. Powell is that the minister is TOO
independent, and refuses to be infu-
enced by politicians.
The plotters, it is declared, think that
if they can get rid of him the United
States will send some man as his sue
cessor who is more pliable and can be
nodded to the will of the political lead
ers.
News of the plot against Mr.. Powell
was contained in a private communl-
cation from a high official of the Do
minican government to a Dominican
citizen residing in New York. The
was brought by a pas
senger who arrived here on Sunday on
the steamship Foxhall from Puerta
Plata.

cut into their game appreciably. Yet
