U. 5. OFFICERS TROUBLES CONTINUE
 Threats Made Against Their Lives IN SAN DOMINGO CUSTOMS AFFAIRS

against the United States naval off. Icer in charge al the Monte Cristi GUS tomhouse. There are." he said, some disaffected persons who by this arrangement have lost their political jobs. l can say-for l am thoroughly conversant with the affairs of the en- tire country-that it is only these, to- gether with a few merchants n the interior, that either could or would fo- ment trouble.
 "The situation as to Monte Cristi is peculiar. Nominally it is under the authority of President Morales, but there is a strong revolutionary party there, and actually the city does about as it pleases. We call it the Inde. pendent Republic down there, but of course that implies much more than the facts warrant. Nevertheless, the independence of Monte Cristi is so near a fact that Admiral Sigsbee and Commander Dillingham; were negotiat- ing separately with Monte Cristi for the adoption of the protocol which, un- der the agreement with the Morales government, was nominally binding upon the entire island. When l left the Newark, Admiral Sigsbee's flag ship, was at Monte Cristi."

FLANAGAN SAYS NO.

Some of the territorial papers have announced the probable appointment of Thos. Flannigan of this city as at torney general under the new admins tration of Gov. Kibbey, says the Tomb stone Prospector. Mir Flannigan, when seen by a Prospector reporter today, stated that a number of friends had urged him to become an applicant for the honor, but he declined to con- sider the same, since he regarded the honor bestowed upon him by the vot- CTS of Cochise county in electing him District Attorney of more moment and immediate concern, and his plain duty lay in serving his constituency here to the best of his ability.

New York, Feb. 17.-Rear Admiral Sigsbee, commanding the Caribbean squadron, has notified the Dominican authorities, cables the Puerto Plata, San Domingo, correspondent of the Herald, that if any harm is done to Lieut.. Commander Leiper, the cruiser Detroit's executive officer, who is in charge of the custom house in Monte Cristi, they will be held responsible for the consequences. He landed alone, without arms, and some persons threatened him.
 The authorities in Monte Cristi are said to pretend that they have receiv- ed no instructions from the Dominican government to hand over the direction of the custom house. Telegraph wires are being cut.
 Merchandise handed from the steamer Seminole from New York has been placed in bond. As the Domin- ican authorities decline to permit Lieut.. Commander Leiper to dispatch 1t to its destination, Rear Admiral Sigsbee also refuses to let the Domin- ican collector act. The people are threatening to take the goous by force. The cruiser Newark kept 8 searchlight on the custom house We'd nesday night and had boats ready to land blue jackets in case of any >trou' bie-
 Many persons of unimportant stand ing in Monte Cristi have signed pro test against the protocol, but, general W sDeakjnp. il is accepted by the rest of the country as being the best ar engagement for the settlement of the claims and debts.

Prospect late last night detachment
of Cossacks was in collision with q
socialist parade but because of orders
by Mayor Romaniokaleff, who was in
command of the Cossack detachment
the latter contented itself with break-
Ing up the procession by riding down
the leaders Of the mob and, no shots
were fred.
The hooligan element Is again COM
Ing into evidence and all of the for
eign residents of the city are taking
precautions to protect themselves.
The news from Moscow and Odessa
is distinctly alarming. In the former
city all of the unions have declared
in favor of an armed revolt and tho
rank and file are being furnished with
small bombs filled with minor parti-
cles of metal and charged with very
high explosives.
In Odessa 1t is stated that the
troops have practically decided to re-
fuse to do police work and the result
will be that the police will be unable
to control the mobs should rioting be-
gin.
Nearly every railway system In the
empire Is tied up as result of the
strike and the government Is unable to
move troops with the expediency nee
essary in order to bring them TO points
of danger in time to be of use. While
the military are being pressed into SER
vice to operate the trains. the lack OF
skilled mechanics makes it impossible
for the general staff to end the tie
up.
Russian bonds went begging on the

Count Witte and his fellow cabinet

In the legal action which Mr.. Duke
