Washington. Feb. 16.-The rebels in
san Domingo h3Ve committed another
breach of international law, which,
added 10 those preceding, are making
up Il Formidable case that may justify
the United States government in later

day, Minister Powell reported to the
vice consular agent at SANTANA, dated
Feb. >, to this effect:
"lnsurGcnts entered our consulate at
Samana with armed force and took
two refugees out"
The state department promptly COM
nIuniCated this Information to the
navy department with n request that
proper action be taken by the naval
authorities 10 protect the tnitei
States consulate. This was promptly
transmitted to Admira! Wise and il is
the belief that he will not only prOtecc
the consulate but will demand the pun

iHent is not able To do this he will
employ the United States naval force
