Washington, Feb. 17.-Yesterday
Minister Powell at San Domingo re-
ported to the state department that he
had received advices from Jean William,
the vice consular agent at SANTANA,
dated February 8, to the effect that the
insurgents had entered our consulate
at SANTANA with an armed force and
had taken two refugees out.
The state department promptly re
quested the navy department that
proper action be taken by the naval au-
thOrities TO protect the United States
consulate. This order was promptly
issued and transmitted to Admiral
Wise and it is the belief that he will
not only protect the consulate but win
demand the punishment of the perpe,
traitors of the outrage, and if the pro
visional government is not able to do
this he will employ the United States
naval forces 10 chastise the insurgents

KILLED by His Own Invention.

St. Petersburg, Feb. 17.-Captain
StepaEoff, who was blown up with the
torpedo gunboat Yenisei and who him
self invented the system for laying sub
marine mines which it is considered is
responsible for the catastrophe, caused
Yenisei to be fitted with his device for
the rapid laying OF mines, whereby 2
trolley line extended beyond the YES
sells stern, along which the mines slid
out and dropped into their appointed
places. This plan did away with the
cumbersome work of laying the mines
from small boats. The accident was
due to the excessive strain on the
Yenisei's anchor cables while the
mines were suspended, pending the i'm.
mersion. The two cables snapped and
one mine collided with another.
