THE annexation OF Santo Domingo to
the United States is only sought after
by the foreign commercial element in
the country and a few disreputable
statesmen. who are guided by their base
desire for gain and think that the time
has come when they may reap a rich
harvest by assisting to enslave their
fellow-countrymen. But should the
United States be inveigled into attempt
ing the annexation of Santo Domingo
or establishing a protectorate over 1T.
that government Will be taught a lesson
that at no time during it's political life
has it had an opportunity to learn. and
is fierce fight for independence from the
war. its sharp tussle with Spain and
warfare will be tame work compared
with what they will meet in Ssnto Do
mingo.
THE Americans would be received In
Santo Domingo by the Dominicans and
Haitians with fire and sword; cities md
towns would be reduced TO ashes, nelds
laid waste all that was destrZctiole
destroyed and finally every E.ver
stream. brooke and well in the country
would be poisoned. Every natural and
artificial advantage offered by the re-
sources of the country would be
brought into play to offer stout resist
ance to the invader, and when the
Americans finally triumphed they would
have conquered desolate and uninhab-
tied country"

ton. who refused to relinduish his Office
in spite OF the fact that Senior Juan
Eugenio Medina has been recently
recognized as provisional consul general,

view today gave utterance 10 several
statements which may be construed as
closely rejecting the views OF General
Wos Gil concerning the question of
the annexation OF Santo Domingo by
the United States or the establishing
of an American protectorate in Santo
Domingo. Senior Gslvan said:
The people of Santo Domingo will
never consent to the Intervention Of the

Chicago, Ill.-Aug. 24.-The packers
asked for an injunction preventing
the city Of Chicago from interfering
with their housing Of employees in
their plants during the continuance
of the strike. The injunction was
asked In the name Of the Hammond
Packing Company, and insisted that
the companies were violating no law
and were entirely within their rights.
The attorneys for the city charged
in their reply to the application for
the injunction that the building Of
Hammond company does not contain
the requisite number Of fire walls,
stairs or windows called for by the
ordinances; that the second floor
with but one flight Of stairs leading
from it contains 1870 cots and that the
danger from fire is constant and i'm

New York. The building trades al.
lance, a union organization, through
counsel made a fresh attack on the
building trades employers association
by placing certain documentary evil
dence before Acting District Attorney
Rand for the purpose Of ascertain
ing whether or not this evidence was
sufficient to begin the prosecution Of
certain employers. Charges against
the employers are blacklisting mem
bers of some Of the trades affiliated
with the alliance and conspiracy to
restrain the engagements Of the un-
ions whereby the masters profit over
outside contractors.
Mr.. Rand said that when the new
state law, known as the Princess
statute, goes into effect on September
1,,next a close watch will be kept on
employers who can be prosecuted for
! giving bribes or extorting money to
business managers. r. U
The presenting Of evidence Of en-
ployers by counsel Of the alliance is
considered the first retaliation since
the building trades employers associ-
alton started in to break the building
strike in this city by engaging union
men who sign individual arbitration
agreement. ,n a
The ultimatunl Of the employers
that If the strikers did not return to
work under the old arbitration agree
ment their places would be filled,
went into effect. The alliance held a
lively meeting, and the strikers were
asked to remain firm. Trouble was
feared when union men were asked
to work beside non.union employees,
but no violence occurred.
The employment of new men to
take the places Of the men who have
been locked out or struck and who
have not returned to work went on
slowly. President Charles L., Eidlitz
Of the employers association, signed

ed to each applicant before he was
