nounce that Gen. Barba, with a num-
Der of Dominican exiles, have landed
at Monte Christi and that the inhab-

Washington, March 30.-Intimations
OF a projected movement against Pres
ident Morales of Santo Domingo, TO-
mented by exiles from that country,
reached the state department several
days ago. The affair, however, is not
giving the officials here any uneasi-
ness, as they. now, in view of Presi-
dent Rooseve1t's acceptance of the
Dominican governments proposition
to control the finances of that country,
feel free to aid President Morales, if
requested by the latter, in putting
down any movement which is a men
ace to it's best interests.
1t is understood that Gen. Barba and
those who are with him have been in
the island of Porto Rico. Their move
ments were known to the state depart
ment, and when they left that place
several days ago their departure was
promptly reported to Washington.
The district of Monte Christi is to be
the hotbed of the revolutionists in
Santo Domingo, and it was believed
that Barba and his associates would
head for that section.
Causes No Surprise.
Their reported arrival there conse-
quently caused no great surprise to
the Washington officials. The navy
department has several vessels in Do
minican waters. and under directions
from the state department, if request
ed to do so by President Morales, will
lend its cooperation in preserving the
peace of the country that it's finances
may be restored to a settled condition.

FAR BEHIND THE RECORD
The Madison Square Cyclers Appar-
emily LOafing a TrifIe.

New York, Dec. Thirteen thou
sand times the six day bicycle riders
in Madison Square Garden had circled
the saucer shaped track at 8 o'clock
this morning. At that hour they al
ready had a start of 140 laps on the
fourteen thousand lap and they had
moreover completed only little more
than half their long ride. Tricky
Spurts, dangerous falls down the steep
inclines of the track and the frequent
appearance of rolls of money sent in
to the enclosure by spectators who Of
fered good sums as prizes to the team
who would outride their competitors
and gain an extra lap filed the hours
from midnight until daylight today
with excitement
At one of the turns Stol, riding at
the top of the embankment, fell and as
his wheel slid to the bottom of the
track he upset AchOrn and Dussol. All
three mounted their wheels and went
ahead again with q, loss of less than
half a lap. Early this morning two
women who occupied a. box sent 800
in to the track for the AchOrn-Downey
team provided these riders would
gain a lap. The team failed to make
the distance. Physicians who are at
tending the riders say that thus far
their loss in weight has been scarcely
appreciable. There are still 10 teams
in the race.
Antics which made the great en-
durance test appear like a burlesque
race were indulged in by the riders
during the forenoon hours. Eddie
Root rode around the ring with a
