FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

At Pajarito, near Santo Domingo, an
American warship bombarded the in
surgents, and then landed marines,
but they, however, subsequently re-
embarked.
1t was reported that 100000 troops,
who have embarked from Japanese
ports, were bound for Port Arthur or
Dalny, where it is possible they have
landed, and the great port may be in
danger. The cable between Port Ar
thur and Chefoo has been cut and all
transports have been pressed into serv-
ice. Mobilization is to be ordered in
the cars dominions.
The Mexican government has Off
cially declared neutrality in relation
to the war in the far east.
The possibility of war with Great
Britain was openly discussed by Rus

Germany's support
1t was reported that Russian troops
were advancing on Seoul, the capital
of Corea. The japanese captured two
more ships and seized Elliott islands,
strong strategic point.
At Port Arthur a British steamey
was fired on by Russian forts and dse
tanned in spite of protests.

SIEGE IS RAISED.
Government Forces Defeat Insurgents
at San Domingo After Two
Days Battle.

Washington, Feb. 22.-Late Sunday
night the state department received a
cablegram from Minister Powell, dated
at San Domingo, February 16, saying;
"A decisive battle has been fought be-
tween the government forces and the
insurgents. 1t extended over two days
and resulted in a victory for the govern
ment The siege has been raised and
the insurgents are in retreat"
Paris, Feb. pa dispatch from San
Domingo says that the United States
cruiser Columbia and the training ship
Hartford have bombarded Duarte, which
is occupied by the insurgents.
Washington, Feb. ga belated dis
patch, dated February II, from Capt.
]. NJ. Miller, of the United States cruiser
Columbia which, with the Newark, is in
| San Dominican waters, brings official
confirmation of the dispatch regarding
! the bombardment of the insurgents by
the war vessels, in position lear the
capital city. the landing of marines and
bluejackets to punish the revolutionists
and their subsequent rembarkation.
According to Capt. Millers dispatch the
affair occurred on river about two miles
from Santo Domingo, presumably at
| Dajarito, the place mentioned in the
press dispatches as the locality where the
bombardment occurred. The insur-
gents, who were stationed on the main
land, fired on a United States merchant
vessel, believed to be the New York,
which was lying in the river. The shots
! Fol do hn
sells that the acts of the insurgents were
construed by Capt. Miller as an attack
on the vessels, and a battery fire was
opened on the revolutionists. This was
followed up by the debarkation of 400
marines and bluejackets from the Co
! lumbia and the Newark, who made sue
cessful landing ashore. They dislodged
the insurgents from their positions and
chased them into the country After
accomplishing this the marines and
! bluejackets took again to their boats and
returned to their ships.
Close attention is being given by ad-
ministration officials to affairs in San
! Domingo. A number of warships are be-
! ing kept in the waters of that country
so that American interests may be zeal
ously protected in case of trouble be-
tween the regular government and the
insurgents Forcible interference in the
affairs of the country, however have
been avoided up to this time, so far
as news received by the department is
concerned.
1t is authoritatively stated that the
question of the annexation of San Do
mingo to the United States never has
received the slightest consideration on
the part of the administration and more
over, the administration is unable to
take position or adopt a policy other
| than the protection of American inter
ests in San Domingo, because of the alb
sence of satisfactory information as to
conditions there.

PLANS BUSY SUMMER.
President Roosevelt's Vacation Will
Be Brief Because of the Com
ing Campaign.

Washington, Feb. 22.-It seems prob
able now that President Roosevelt will
be in Washington during the heat Of the
presidential campaign this year, in
stead of Oyster Bay, where it has been
supposed he would remain for several
months. The president has made ten
tative arrangements for the summer and
autumn, and they include a comparative
ly brief sojourn at Oyster Bay. 1t
is quite certain that the president him
self will not go to Oyster Bay this year
until after the republican national con-
vention. A few days, perhaps, after the
convention, he will go to his summer
home. Assuming that he will be the
nominee Of his party for the presidency
it is expected he then will return to
Washington to receive the formal noti-
fication of his nomination. Soon there
after the president will return to Oys-
ter Bay, to remain there during the lat
ter half of July and the whole of August
He then will return to Washington and
remain here during the campaign Early
in November he will go to Oyster Bay,
to be there on election day. 1t is quite
likely that he will receive the returns
from the election there Some time in
the summer or autumn the president will
visit the Louisiana exposition, but no
time has been fixed yet for that visit
He will do nothing in the nature of po-
Iitical campaigning

attaches-must answer to the law for

subject of no bill. Fire Chief Musham
also was absolved from criminal blame.
But while the mayor escapes Indictment

The main difference between battle
ships and armored cruisers rests on
their relative power to hold the battle
line, but this does not mean that the
latter are deficient in fighting power
In securing intelligence of a threaten
ing enemy the observing vessels must
have strength enough to overcome hos
tile ships, to disclose the main body,
and when this is sighted to delay it's
progress until their own battleships
can reach the scene of action. 1t is
evident that only less in degree to the
battleship must be the value of the ar
mored cruiser.

1t is a strange thing to express the
value of novels in terms of wood, but an
English periodical has lately been esti-

the modern novel. Since paper is made
of cellulose, and the chief source of sup
ply of cellulose is timber, it is estimated
that nine popular novels have swept
away 1000 trees. According to this
every popular novelist ought in duty
bound to spend at least a part of his
