WITH FIRM HAND
VIII Protect Life and Property
In San Domingo
ANARCHY PREVAILS NOW
InsuRerabIe Nuisance Must Be
Abated Soon.

Washington, Jan. 6.-With firm hand
the government at Washington from now
on will protect American life and prop
erty in the island OF San Domingo. The
following dispatch received at the navy
department today from Commander Dill
bingham, commander of the Detroit, dated
at Puerto Plata. January g. was made
public by order of the secretary:
In this vicinity anarchy prevails, bust
ness is at standstill. Puerto Plata

collecting duties and dues. JimineZ at
Santiago. Revolution not one of prin-
cple but between factions. viii not

to see Cherokee out of Port VIII coal

and JimineZ troops took place on United
Fruit company's property. Without notice
houses We're looted, lives of United
States citizens absolutely disregarded, wo-
men and children had to flee for safety.
property destroyed Have forbidden any
fighting or any armed force of any party
within certain lines necessary TO protect
lives of United States citizens at Sousua.
Commanding officers III the field near
Sousua have been so instructed. Left
one Colt automatic gun and steam launch
at Sousua with officer, Il marines, Sou

until my return. Am in signal commu-
nication with this force; can control sit

tain in note to military commander here
to hold him responsible for any disorder
and telling him that we would take such
prompt action as we see fit in case of
disorder
1t is said that the administration has
not yet adopted a sever policy for the
conduct of affairs in San Domingo beyond
that which it has always pursued of pro-
tecting American life and property. The
statement of the conduct of Commander
Dillingham;, while following only general
instructions, is entirely Endorsed and ap-
proved by the government, and it is be-
lieved that his intelligent handling of the
situation will have a powerful influence
toward the restoration of order in the is
land. 1t can be announced that the Wash
ington government earnestly hopes that
order will come out of chaos in the island
and a firm government established under
which Americans and other foreigners
will receive in the future adequate pro-
lection. 1t is realized by the admins
tration that the Dominican problem must
be taken up and disposed of in a way
that wiH~put stop to IAN insufferable
nuisance .

PERMANENT ROAD BUILDING.
Federal Aid Is One of the Means De-
sired.

Washington, Jan. Ga sentiment favor
able to some general plan of permanent
road building by cooperation between
the United States and the various states
or civil subdivisions thereof, is develop
ing in all parts of the country. Not only
has the Brownlow bill, which is the par
ent measure of the whole scheme, been
reproduced in the house of representa-
tives of the present. congress, but Senator
Eallinger of New Hampshire has intro
duced in the United States senate a bill
almost identical with the Brownlow bill.
1t might appear, on account of this
measure being introduced by Republicans
that it would be considered a partisan
measure, but full review of the situa-
ton shows quite the contrary. Senator
Latimer, of South Carolina, has formu-
lated a bill and is about to introduce it
in the senate, providing in a similar man
ner for a general system of cooperation
in permanent bodybuilding Between the
United States and the various states or
their civil subdivisions. Ali THESE bills
agree as to the principal of national aid,
the only points of disagreement being in
the matter of details in Legislation es-
pecially pertaining to the execution of the
work when the money is once appropri-
ated to carry on the same. The Latimer
bill provides for commission of three
persons to be appointed by the president
OF the United States. This might result
In some political pressure being applied
in the appointment of the commissioners

lows the action of the piece with eager
ness until the curtain finally falls upon
the last act The cleverness Of the COM
pany. OF course, adds to the attractive
ness of the performance, and it must be
acknowledged that the leading characters

less important parts are enacted with
such careful attention TO detail that no
little praise is due to the competent stage
direction of the production. Fannie Cur

DETAILS GIVEN
Story of Interview Lieut. Per-
riII Had with the Troops.
SHIP HAD NO COLORS
Colombian Officer Avoided
Direct Questions.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 6-Following
is an unofficial narrative Of the interview
of Lieutenant H. P. Perrill of the United
States steamship Atlanta with the Colom-
bian troops at Conception de Titumati on
December Is, though the correctness of de-
tail is vouced for by good authority:
At 9:15 on December 10 Lieutenant Per-
rill was ordered to board schooner
which had been under observation and
which was at that time among rocks ad-
jdcent to the Tumate islands. At $50 he
left the Atlanta accompanied by Harold
Martin. Associated Press correspondent,
who acted as interpreter. Approaching the
schooner it was seen that she carried
Colombian troops but no colors. Lieuten-
ant Perrill was invited on board by the
commanding officer and the schooner
proved to be the Antioquia in command
Of General Rafael Novo, a Venezuelan
holding a commission in the Colombian
army, who also commanded the troops on
board. He said that there were twenty
four of the troops, but more than that
number were on deck and the hold showed
many more. Novo avoided all direct Ques-
lions, constantly referring the questions
to General Ortez his superior in command
Of the Colombian forces inshore.
Lieutenant Perril took General Novo to
the shore and was handed over to Cen
eral Ortez for information. A line of
sentries patrolled the beach, while sec
ond line was established thirty yards in
land. As soon as Lieutenant Perrill had
landed General Ortez requested that in
view of the fact that the boat was in
Colombian waters, the United States flag
should be taken down or at least the
Colombian flag shown on the bow. This
Lieutenant Perrill replied that he could
not grant. First, because he had no Co
lombian flag and second, that he was
bound by the laws of nations to carry
the flag of his country in boat belong
irg to a man of war. General Ortez i'm
mediately sent for Colon bian flag, but
the incident was not again brought up.
General Ortez offered a protest in writ
ing against the presence of an American
man Of war in Colombian waters.
During the stay and while the ENJOYS
were on board the Atlanta Lieutenant
Perrill and his men were able to secure
information as follows:
General Ortez is not in rank to General
Reyes and at the time was in command
of all the Colombian forces operating in
the Darien region. He came out from
Cartagena on December on the gunboat
Cartagena. His forces were distributed
from Revesa Point to Cape Tiburon and
numbered at that time about 1000 men
with an equal number of laborers These
numbers were being added to by men
brought from points from the east side of
the gulf of Darien by means of small
coasting vessels and Colombian gunboats.
Ortez' headquarters were at Titatumi,
small port midway between Tumate and
Tarena islands. At this camp he had
force of four or five hundred men. a
line of sentifeS- patrolled the beach from
Tarena Point north almost to Tumate
island and there We're three field pieces
located at advantageous points.

an excellent impression last season in

character he has a role which is said to
be even better suited to his style and tenn
perament. All the elaborate stage set

duction of 1.-The Mummy and the Hum

story of the play is founded on actual oc-
currences. 1t is said Isaac henderson, the
author. wove il about the experiences Of
a married couple of his acquaintance in
London. 1t is budle of bright lines, ami
mated situations. and has been rightly
termed "a comedy of temperament. Mr..
Gilmore won his greatest stage success in
THE Three sIuskateers,' and in the role
OF Gil De Berault in Under the Red
Robe but the past two seasons the adj
venturous roles have been discarded for
work in the higher modern comedies.

voice. Her reading is admirable. and in
these days somewhat unusual she is an
