Cape Haytien. Hayti, Apri' 2.The situation in santo Domingo city is very critical The commander of the United States cruiser Atlanta, which has arr rived at Santo Domingo from this port, yesterday landed detachment of fifty bluejackets to guard the United States consulate general in that city.
 A shell fired last night by the Domi1- ican cruiser President, which is on the side of President Vasquez, fell on the German consulate. The damage done, however, was purely material, as the, projectile happily did not burst.

A hundred men were killed or wounded. President Vasquez demands the sur- render of Santo Domingo city, but the revolutionists are disposed to resist up the last moment.

 Address.
 The Edwin Bancroft Foote Boys club house was formally opened last evening with appropriate exercises in the old polo rink. About 200 boys were in at tendance and about 800 grown ups. The meeting was a very. enthusiastic one. The boys eagerly applauded the speak CTS as references were made to the club and the work it was intended for it to do.
 Rev. Anson Phelps Stokes presided at the meeting. The programme was com menced with selection by the Yale Glee club. The interdenominationa character of the club can be judged by the participants in the programme, for the Rev. David Levy of the Congrega- ton Mishzan Israel offered the invi- cation, Rev. Father McShane Of St. Mary's church delivered brief address, as did also Rev. Alexander F. Irvine of the Pilgrim Congregational church. George w. Hinckley Interestingly told of the work of the Goodwill boys farm in Maine.
 William G. Lotze presented the keys of the club on behalf of MT. Foote.
 MT. Lotze said: I count 1t a great privilege to be present at the formal opening of the Edwin Bancroft Foote Boys club. It is difficult to realize that the prophecy of few years ago has already been fulfilled, I take great pleasure in reading letter which he sends together with the keys: New Haven, April ?, 1903. Wm. C.. Lotze, General Secretary Y. M. c. A., New Haven, Conn: My dear Mr. LotZe: It is my privilege this evening to present to the board of directors, trustees the keys of the Ed win Bancroft Foote Boys club building. This building will, I trust, always be used for the uplifting and upbuilding of the working boys and young men of New Haven wholly irrespective of re- ligious creed or social position. While firmly convinced of the vital importance of religious instruction in proper places and at proper times, just as thoroughly believe that the best in- terests of this club which draws and which I earnestly hope and pray may always continue to draw alike from the homes of Catholics and Jews and Prot estants can be best promoted by rigidly confining the instruction here given to physical. industrial, social, mental and moral lines
 The slightest deviation, either directly or indirectly, from such 8 policy would | cause me to deeply regret having con- scented to be in any way connected with this movement.

Indications of Secrecy Regarding tho
 New Defender.

New Defender.
 Bristol, R. l., April 2.-Tndications are that the new yacht Reliance will be launched in skirts-that is, with sails hanging over her sides. If this should be done it is the first time the Herre- shoffs have launched a boat in this fashion.
 Yachtsmen, who expect the launching week from Saturday. are discussing this feature, and see in 1t the desire of the builders to keep photographers from obtaining the lines of the boat as she slides from the cradle into the wa ter Everything goes to show that the launching will be a private one, with only invited guests in the shop to wit ness the formality of naming the boat.
 The trial spins of the new challenger in Scottish waters, in which the boat is announced to have been very strong in points of reaching. have been followed with much interest here, but the view is taken that there is nothing to be feared.
 The masts of the Reliance are being fitted up on the wharf and the spread CTS and masthead straps are to be at tached immediately.

 The entire Consolidated railroad situ- ation was announced as settled shortly before o'clock last evening. The conductors committee and Grand Senior Conductor Wilkins of the Order of Railway Conductors held an all day session with President Hall and the directors committee in the presidents office yesterday. After the meeting President Hall said: "The meeting to- day was very satisfactory to all par ties concerned. Practically the same basis of settlement was made with the conductors as was made with the train men. We are glad the men are satis- fied'
 In reply to questions President Hall said: Both the trainmen and conduc- tors were granted an eleven-hour schedule and not ten hour schedule as has been stated. In reference to my meeting the firemen tomorrow inrr rsfh hasI kc far as I know they have not asked for meeting at that time. It is the wish of the company to have all the en- ployes satisfied, not only with their work but with their pay"
 MT. Wilkins said, after the conference yesterday: We are all very we'll sat isfied with the result of our meeting, and matters, as far as we are concern ed, are settled. Further than this there is nothing more to say. I am going to leave this city for my home tonight and MT. Fitzpatrick left this after noon. A number of the men's commit tee went to their homes to-day, and the rest will leave this evening or to-mor- row.
 Everyone seemed to be perfectly sat isfied and glad that all the trouble had ended so amicably.
 The men are to have an eleven hour work day and are to be paid on a mileage basis. As the trainmen explain it, the actual working time will be ten and one-half hours instead of the ten they asked, but as the men are required to be in the yards thirty minutes prior to the departure of their trains, that half hour shall count as part of the work day, and pay shall be for eleven hours. The agreement becomes effect | i've May 2.
 Valentine Fitzpatrick, the third vice. grand master of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, whose efforts were so instrumental in setting the differ ences between the Consolidated road and it's conductors and trainmen, and Frank E. Keenan, the chairman of the grievance committed, called on Mayor Studley yesterday morning. They ! wished to pay their respects to the mayor before they left this city. The call of the two labor leaders was purely social They had pleasant chat with the mayor for a half hour and then bid l him adieu.

Last Eruption the Longest and the
 Most Interesting.

The Soufriere continues to show signs of disturbance.

 The police were sent 9or and in the mixup that ensued in dispensing the mob two policemen and two citizens were killed and many wounded. Quiet now prevails, but it is not unlikely that the trouble may break out afresh, as political sentiment is high and a strong feelingprevails against Governor Reyes.
