Jiminez Says He's the Cause
7 Of Dominican Trouble
Rebel Leader in This Country to
Procure Rest. u,
Will Make Fina! Attempt to Son.r0'
the Government.

Nav York, April 12-Juan j. Jimi-
nez ex-president Of Santo Domingo ana
leader OF the present revolution in that
reu.blic who has just arrived here, de-
clares that he probably will return TO
his country in a week or two and re-
sumo command Of his forces in order
In make the final attempt to Wrest the
reirs of government from Pres. MOT
ales. Gen. JimineZ explains that ne
merely came north to procure little
rest.
one of the peculiar features OF MS
arrival at the hotel frequented by WIS.,
itors from the West Indies was HIS
meeting with a young brother-lh-Ea"
Of Pres. Morales-Emilio Vlilaion'
chancellor of the Dominican consulate
in New York. For an instant the Fete-
ran Of many revolutions gaZed upon
the bOyish chancellor and then, shak-
ing his hand. congratulated him on
holding such a responsible position.
Gen. JimineZ in conversation with re-
porters declared he did not come here
10 buy munitions Of war, but merely TO
rest.
els YOUR revolution ended?" he was
asked.
No. never-we still hold possession of
a part of the island. am going back to
SantO Domingo in about two weeks al
though | may change my mind and run
over to Europe for a day or two
How about your army? How is it
getting on and where is it at the pres
ent time?
That is a very difficult question TO
laf DA,n,inDn come
DAYS ago and / cannot know how the
army is getting on just now"
who is responsible for all this
trOuble?"
Morales, of course. for I certainly
am not. He is the guilty party and
can prove it. Always | have been on
the side of right and concord and L as
sure you that am ambitious. most am
bilious for the prosperity of my coun-
try. | am against beaStly passions and
have always stood up for what may be
termed the noble patriotic sentiment
and am opposed to the crazy and NOR
bid ambitions for office.
ITO prove my good intentions, l adj
dressed letter to Morales. asking him
to abandon the presidency and appoint
a sort of junta. consisting of two I'M
partial men to administer the affairs of
state pending n settlement of our diff
ferences at the ballot box. l also suS-
gested that all persons in prison for po-
litical causes be liberated and that he
agree IN guaranteeing that every ofii-
cial Of the government would refrain
from interfering with the election by
use of either influence or money"
Chancellor Villalon later deprecated
the efforts of Gen. JimineZ'S army and
characterized it as Il gang of bandits.

BUYING LINERS.
Russia Will Have Large Fleet of Fast
Ones.

Berlin, April l2.-The Russian gov
eminent has not ceased its purchases
of German transatlantic liners.
1t is learned from Il trustworthy
source that Russia at present is in ne
gotiation for the purchase of a consid-
cradle number of German vessels
| These are to be armed and. together
with the Smolensk and the Orel, Of the
Black sea fleet. are to form a lying
squadron of fast cruisers.
The Fuerst Bismarck, which has been
renamed the Don, will join this squad
ron.
The Russian government is also ne
gotiating with the French COmpagnie
trans-Atlantique
Representatives of Sir William Arm
strong, the German yard ut Germania
and other shipbuiding yards have been
in st. Petersburg for the last three
weeks discussing orders for new war
ships with the Russian admiralty.
The fashion in which the sale of Ger
man and transatlantic liners has been
denied up to the very moment they
We're handed over to the Russian gov
eminent is the subject of some sharp
comment in the Berlin press.
; The sale of vessels which are on the
list of the German admiralty as aux
| Hilary cruisers in times of war shows
a somewhat broad conception of the
wCrd neutrality. The only argument
| in favor Of the course pursued by Rus
STA is that Japan possibly intends to
reinforce her navy by similar means if
| it should be necessary.

CATION it was decided here. today, by

WRECKED IN HUDSON BAY.
Capt. Berry Had Hard Time in Far
North.

St. John, April 12.-Among the guests
ut the Dufferin is capt. w. Berry. an
old country skipper who is EN- route to
Quebec. where it is said he is shortly
10 take command of n ship.
Capt. Berry is n very modest talking
gentleman and while he admitted that
he had been shipwrecked in Hudson
bay he asked to be excused from an
interview. His experiences in Hudson
bay are known. however, and in brief
are as follows:
ON August Is, 1903. the 500 ton steam
er FL Dorado. Capt. w. Berry. sailed
from Quebec for Fort George when she
ran on reef and was wrecked. The
coast for miles abounds in reefs and
rocks run from 20 to 30 miles from the
shore. 1t had been the intention of
sending n naphtha launch ahead of the
FL Dorado to make soundings. but the
launch had been damaged so badly as
to be rendered useless.
This was the first time that Il steamer
had reached anywhere near Fort
George and 1t is doubtful if another will
reach there.
At Fort George there is but one
dwelling where the man representing
a company trades with natives in seals,
oils. etc.
When the steamer was wrecked
Capt. Berry and his crew loaded the
life boats with provisions and with In
dian guides started on n 150-mile jour
ney back to the c. =. r. railway line.
This return journey took more than L
month and was tedious and dangerous.
The ships boats were used i'm covering
2iO miles of the journey. Then the re-
mainder was by canoes and on foot.
The first week brought the party of
go to Charlestown island. From there
II took two days to reach Moss river
and then % days to the Abittible river.
At Douglass Farm the party left the
canoes and We're taken in n steamer
across the lake to Temascaming. where
the {. p. r. railway tracks end The..
TOOK the train from this station to
Montreal
During the journey from the wreck
10 Temascaming the party had to go
through % rapids and by Il portages.
ABOUT the time that the FL Dorado
was wrecked a Hudson Bay Co. schoon-
er was wrecked in that vicinity with 4
iuii cargo of furs. oil. etc, and which
is said to have been valued at c 100 900
The navigation in the vicinity of
Fort George is open only about six
weeks in the year.

JAPS DENY CHARGE.
Say That Did Not Misuse Red Cross
Flags.

Toxic, April 10 A. M.-The
charge emanating from Russian
sources to the effect that the Japanese
troops engaged in the fight at Chengju,
March 90, abused the privilege of the
Red Cross flag by taking refuge in Il
building occupied as Il hospital. is in
dignantly denied here and is pro-
nounced n fabrication designed to in
jure the Japanese in the eyes of the
world.
An official investigation shows that
the Japanese force engaged at Chongju
had established Il bandage station in
the rear of their firing line and it was
used exclusively for the purpose OF
caring for the wounded. The Japanese
Red Cross is an Old and extensive or
