WHY PRESIDENT MORALES FLED
A Mere Figurehead, He Goes to Return
With Force Enough to Drive
Out His Enemies.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Dec. 27.-The State
Department today received by cable
from Santo Domingo advices which
throw much needed light on the reVo-
lutionary disturbance reported from
there yesterday These were TO the
effect that the diplomatic corps had
been notified by the Dominican minis
ter for foreign affairs. General TeJera,
that the President, Morales, having
abandoned the capital, leaving the
government without an acting head,
the cabinet had called upon the vice
president, General Cacederes, TO take
charge pending the temporary failure
of the President TO exercise his func-
tions. The city of Santo Domingo was
quiet and the cabinet officers were eX-
ercising their functions without inter
ruption.
President Morales was supposed to
be at Jaima, ten or twelve miles from
the capital, among a band of Revolu-
tionists who were fighting there. AS
the situation is understood here, there
has been no actual change in the
dominant party in SantO Domingo as
the result of Morales abandonment.
The fact is the party known as
Horacia, of which General Caceres,
the vice-presdent, is the principal
figure, has all along controlled the
cabinet, and this cabinet in turn,
owing to the popularity of the Domini-
can institutions, has completely domi-
mated the presidential office. AS
Morales was ambitious to conduct his
own government he fell under sus-
picion of disloyalty to his party and
also was suspected of Intending to
join the opposition, or Jiminez party.
Finding himself without power be-
cause the cabinet controlled the party.
Morales anticipated removal by the
party leaders, and fled to the Revolu-
tionists, with the intention of securing
q sufficient force to re-enter the capt.
tai and drive out his enemies.
The Navy Department has received
a cable from Commander Chambers, of
the Nashville, dated al Puerto Plata
last night stating that he had been
informed from q governmental source
that President Morales had been shot
and seriously wounded.
Washington Dec. 27.-The Navy
Department today received brief
dispatch from Puerto Plata, San Do
mingo, announcing the departure from

as she can be commissioned the cruiser

NO UNION, The CRY
Strong Protests of the

Meanwhile Men Representing the
Cumberland and P e,byteria1
Churches Meet to Consider De-
tails for Uuion.
(Bv the Associated Press. }

Nashville, Tenn. Dec. 27.-The
Cumberland Presbyterian Loyalist
Council which met here today at its
session tonight adopted resolutions
protesting against the proposed unoin
of the Cumberland Presbyterian
church with the Presbyterian church
in the United States. A copy of the
resolutions was ordered telegra phcd
to the committee or fraternity which
meets in st. Louis tomorrow for the
purpose of arranging details for the
union of the two churches including
custody Of the church property ana
organization Of the church boards.
The resolutions follow the report OF
the legal committee, of which the
Rev. Wan. Welcker, of Knoxville, is
chairman. This report holds that the
title to the church property would
remain with the "Loyalists" because
they hold the original articles of faith.
In this connection the "Weekirers"
decision in Great Britain is referred
to as a very simple case. The commit
tee further says that after exhaustive
research it was of the positive opinion
that the proposed union was illegal
and that the Supreme Court of th
United States had decided cases in
volving the same State of facts but
that the principles laid down
absolutely preclude the union OF these
two great Presbyterian bodies The
committee also called attention to the
fact that the constitution of the Cum
berland church makes no provision
for the submission of the question Of
union to the different Presbyteries
to be voted on. as was done, and that
as the constitution was not altered,
it was ignored and the action cannot
therefore stand.
The council meeting in the morning
was attended by between eighty and
one hundred persons OF whom Is were
women: the afternoon session was at
tended by 157 persons. There was
but handful Of local members at
the meetings the great majority be-
ing non-residents. Each member Of

presents a problem so indefinite that
