U. s. SHIP BoMBARDs REBELS
Then Lands Force of Marines in santo
 Damtugo.

San Juan, Porto Rico Feb. 17.-A pri- vate message has been received here from santo Domingo City dated Febru- ary 1T, saying that an American war ship bombarded the insurgents at Pa jarito, near Santo Domingo, and then landed marines. These men, however, subsequently, re-embarked.
 Washington, Feb. 17.-The landing of marines at Pajarito, near Santo De- mingo, by an American ship, no doubt was authorized by the commanding of ficer as a result of some menace to American interests in that section of the country The cruiser Columbia is now at, or near Santo Domingo and the marines landed presumably were from that vessel. Her commanding officer is Captain J. M. Miller. The unsettled condition of affairs in San Domingo, bordering in many places on anarchy, with it's consequent menace to Ameri- can interests, has been a source of con- siderable irritation to the administra- tion and Admiral Wise, the senior na- val officer in those waters, has been given large discretionary powers to deal with the situation.

THE HARRINGTON PUBLISHING CO
DICK MAT SUCCEED HANNA.
Relief That congssssman wmi Prove to
 be she Man.

Dr lne Ma Es
 Columbus. Ohio. Feb. 17.-There is a growing feeling here that the question of successor to United States Senator Hanna will not precipitate such fight as had been expected. It is now be- lieyed that when the time for the bal loting arrives Congressman Charles Dick will prove to be the man.
 The republicans are expected to cau- GUS a week from the coming Saturday night, and 1t is believed that they will decide to elect a senator for both the fact that their right to elect for the long term at this time is questioned.
 A leader high in the republican party to-day told an interesting story which makes it reasonable to believe that Dick will be the man chosen as senator. The story as told conforms to certain known facts. The gentlemen said that week before the last republican state convention was held in Columbus a conference occurred at a residence in Akron between Messrs. Hanna, Her rick and Dick. Senator Hanna at the time had mIsgivings as to the time he had to live, and said to Herrick and Dick that he considered them as his boys and expected them to take up his work, which they both knew. With re- spect to Herrick, it is said that Hanna was following out McKinley's wishes in taking care of the present governor.
 There was a demand for recognition sor Warren G. Harding that was too strong to be overlooked, and it was agreed in the conference that Herrick should be the nominee for governor with Harding for second place. There was also a distinct understanding that Herrick should not voluntarily relin- quish the governorship chair, as that would throw the office into the hands of the Foraker element of the party by making Harding governor. There were certain agreements to be carried out, and change in the governors office would violate these promises. Hanna was anxious to carry Cuyahoga coun- ty, and by making the concession to his opponents in Harding's nomination he believed that he would be able to do so
 For this reason it is believed that Governor Herrick cannot entertain for an instant the idea of going to the sem ate, and the Hanna followers, including Herrick himself, must support Dick for the senatorship. While many names are being mentioned, all are mere spec ula.ion and those who gove the situa- tion serious consideration are growing frmer in the belief that Dick will be 1 the man.

BIC ARMY EMBARKING.
Three Japanese Divisions to Assaii Port
 Arthur.

Arthur.
 Tokio, Feb. E.-Eight transports with Japanese troops from Nagasaki and several additional vessels carrying war munitions are on their way to the west ern coast of Corea. Detachments of Japanese cavalry have already landed at Wiju, on the Yalu river.
 Paris, Feb. 17.An official dispatch received here this morning from Tokio . announces that one of the most impor- tant movements of Japanese troops yet made is taking place to-day. One of the main branches of the army, consist ing of three divisions and including a division of guards, is now going on board transports. The previous land ings of Japanese forces in Corea and elsewhere are said here to have been small compared with this simultaneous sailing of three divisions, aggregating approximately ar army of 30,000 to 5O,- 900 men.
 The Japanese authorities had taken every precaution to prevent information from getting out concerning the en- barkation and destination of this army. It is believed, but not known, that the destination of this force is point near the mouth of the Yaiu river or a spot on the Liau-TungS peninsula, fanking Port Arthur.

 cured tn Dangerous storm
 St. Petersburg, Feb. 17.-viceroy Alexieff has communicated to the czar the report of Captain Reitzenstein, who is in command of the Russian cruiser division, dealing with the destruction of the Japanese merchant steamer Naga- noura Maru off the northwestern coast Iof Japan and the capture of forty-one of her crew. Captain Reitzenstein, who is also acting commodore of the Vladivos- tok squadron, says that small Jap apese coaster was also approached, but violent squalls made it impossible to capture the crew and that therefore the coaster was not sunk.
 Heavy weather, he says, prevented him following the coaster, and the squadron made for Chestakoff, fleeing besore the tempest to gain the Corean coast. Owing to the storm the squad ron was only able to accomplish five knots per hour. Heavy seas were ship ped and the cruisers and the guns were coated with ice, there being nine de- grees of frost. Two violent gales were encountered within three days.

ELMIRA,S DANGER.
" ater Mains May Freeze and Cut Or
 Supply.

Elmira, N. Y, Feb. 17.--An unusual and very serious proposition confronts the local company which supplied water to Elmira. The continued cold weather has frozen the ground to such depth that the freezing of the city water mains and the shutting off of the water supply is threatened. A six-inch main is used and it is from four and one- half to six feet below the street sur- face. The ground is already frozen to that depth and, unless the weather mod crates very soon, the mains will be filled with ice There is nothing now known which the company can do to prevent this water famine- but experiments are being made with electricity with view to seeing what can be done in that di- rection. In a great many cases the moisture in the gas pipes has frozen, filling the pipes and preevnting a flow of the gas.
