HIS DEATH MUST Be AVENGED
The Dominican Insurgents Fire on
Launch of Cruiser YANKEE.
Engineer Johnston IL Killed-Drnstic
Measures VIII he Taken to
Ayenge the Murder.

San Domingo, Monday, Feb. 1.-The
insurgents this morning deliberately
fired on the launch of the auxiliary
cruiser Yankee, killing j. G. Johnston,
the engineer. The bullet entered his
head above the eye. United States Min
lister Powell has directed the captain OF
the Yankee to take drastic measures to
avenge Johnston's death and this insult
to the American flag.
The funeral of tombstone took place
this morning. The body was escorted
to its grave in the Santa Barbara ceme-
terry by detachment of marines, blue
Jackets and officers of the Yankee, headed
by the ships band. There were In all
100 men from the cruiser in the cortege.
United States Minister Powell, the
American consul and vice consul and
nearly all the diplomatic and consular
representatives here went to the funeral.
The provisional government sent de-
tachment of troops to act as an escort.
The flags over the governmental build
ings and the various consulates were
at half mast.
The coffin was covered with wreaths OF
flowers, one of which had been sent by
the German consulate on behalf of En-
peror William, while others from the
American legation, the American con-
sulate and similar sympathizers. The
streets of the city were thronged with
people as the funeral procession passed
and there were many expressions of sor-
row at Johnstone's death.
Santo Domingo, Feb. 3.-Great sur
prise is expressed by all foreigners here,
especially by the Americans, that the
commander of the Yankee has not de-
manded immediate satisfaction for the
inexcusable killing Of tombstone and for
the firing upon the American flag by the
insurgents.

Johnston" is the substance of a ca
blegram which Secretary Moody Sat

His suggestion is that the ladies who

i went to the game yesterday and
paid good money for a seat. 1 took Il

stand, but was constantly bothered by
the number OF large hats in front OF me
A lady and gentleman who came in
asked me TO move up one seat. started
TO do Sc but found that If l did IL
would be impossible for me TO see first
base, as there were several unusually
large hats in the way.
Il told the young woman who asked
me to move that l would do so If she
would ask one of the women in front
TO remove her hat. She made the re-
quest. but the woman positively refused
to acquiesce. / gave up my seat and
had to go TO another part of the stanG.
where the view was not near so good.
THE ball club extends a courtesy 10
the ladies twice a week, and IL would be
only common pOliteness and good breed
ing if they were to reciprocate by re-
moving their hats and giving those who
have paid for their tickets a chance to
see the games. / would suggest that

calls out the batteries ask the ladies 70

MITCHELL WILL AID
FELLOW-EN MAN
To Second Jewey Cooke in His Fight
With Joe Cans Next Fri
day Night.

BALTIMORE. May 25-Jewey Cooke.
the English champion, who is to meet
Joe Cans. the lightweight champion.
next Friday night at the Eureka Ath-
Ietic and Social Club at Germania Maen-
nerchor Hall has written to his friend
Charley Mitchell, TO come over and help
to second him Friday night.
Cooke and Mitchell are very fast
friends. They came TO New York on the
same steamer. and Cooke said yesterday
he was almost confident that the we'll
known English heavyweight would be
on hand, as Mitchell helped TO second
him when he fought Dave Holly in Phil
adelphia last month. and told Cooke
when he left New York for Baltimore TO
train for Cans that he would surely be
over to 80 IN his corner.
Mitchell thinks that Cooke Is better
than any man OF his weight on this side
OF the water. and as Cans is giving away
weight TO him "Chawley" says he can I
see anything to il but Cooke. In fact. II
was Mitchell that first wrote President
HerfOrd from England about taking
Cans over there to meet Cooke. That
was about eighteen months ago. at that
time Mitchell promised 10 make a side
bet of $500 on Cooke If HerfCrd would
take Cans to England

Chagrined at being thus frustrated,
the irate contractor seized the uniforms
and belts of the Senators. so as to pre-
vent them from playing baseball this
afternoon. The uniforms were appraised
at $50 by the court and were deposited
in the store rooms of the Merchant Par

necessary bond to get the toggery out of
