Special Dispatch to The Call.

COLON, Jan. 26.-The United States
cruiser Dixie has received hurry orders
to proceed to Santo Domingo, and is
now coaling. Two thousand marines
were brought to Colon to-day from
Empire Capes and embarked on the
Dixie. -
NEW ORLEANS, La, Jan. ga ca
blegram received tonight by the Plea
yune from Panama says rush orders
have been received from Washington
to send all marines possible from the
isthmus to Santo Domingo, where fight
ing has broken out in the streets of
towns in opposition to the American
protectorate now being arranged by
the United States Government.
The cruiser Dixie lying in the harbor
of Colon, will leave for the scene of
the insurrection on Friday morning
with 500 marines, under the command
of Colonel Wood. The marines were en-
camped at Empire, between Panama
and Colon. Five companies of marines
broke camp there and left for Colon to-
day on g. special train, equipped with
ammunition and rations. They are due
to reach San Domingo City early Sun
day morning.
IT is understood here that these ma
rifles will not be sufficientxto success
fully resist the San Domingans, and re-
infercenauts will have to be sent from
the UnitedaStates.
The battalion Of marines at Empire
had been in camp only few weeks,
having been brought down to relieve
the 500 men who had for fifteen months
looked after American interests during
the exciting times when the republic
of Panama was being created. About
four weeks ago the Prairie carried back
to America this force of men and
brought the battalion now in control
of the zone under command of Colonel
Wood.
This command numbers a few more
than 500 officers and men. The officers.
nearly all of whom have families, had
sent for their wives and in number
of instances the latter had already ar
rived. The hurry orders which came
so UNEXPECTEDLY have created
decided stir in camp and no end of ex-
citement on the isthmus itself.

Telephone Announces to the
Father That Son Has
Ended His Own Life

OAKLAND, Jan. 26.-A mysterious
telephone message received tonight
by M. A. Oleary of $50 Twenty-eighth
street that his son, Paul Oleary. had
committed suicide was strangely yeri-
fed by the accidental finding Of the
young mans senseless form short
while afterward almost in front of his
residence
The unconscious man was taken in
hand at his home by physicians. who
pronounced him in a critical condition.
supposedly from poisoning. At 1o:3o
o'clock tonight the father sent word
to the police headquarters that his son
had gone downtown to pay some dues
at a Woodmen's lodge. He had not re-
turned home at that hour. and the folks
were worried, because the young man
had not been In good health.
Very soon after that report reached
the police a second message came an
nouncing that the father had been tele-
phoned to by some person who had said:
Paul will be home soon; suicide" This
caused Oleary much anxiety.
1t was not long before a third mes
sage reached the police, this time from

reported to be the body of a man lying
on the grass a few feet east of the
Oleary house. Ely said the form was
lifeless, and the Coroner was notified,
but before that official arrived at the
scene Detective Kyle, who was dis
patched to investigate, discovered signs
of life. He aroused the Olearys, who
at once recognized the young man who
was the subject of the message AS
soon as young Oleary had been given
over to his peoples care the police be-
gan an investigation, which at late
hour had not developed enough to clear
the mystery. They believe the young
man himself sent the warning of death.
Several months ago his mother died.
He became melancholy.
The family was compelled to send him
TO the Receiving Hospital for examin-
alton as to his sanity, his mind having
been temporarily unbalanced. But
after few days rest he seemed to
improve so much that he was dis
charged His condition of late had not
given the family cause for serious
alarm.
At ! o'clock this morning the father
of Oleary notified the police that his
sons condition was due to an attack
by footpads, who used a blunt instru-
ment in severely battering him on the
head. The detectives say this only
complicates the case and fails to ex-
plain the suicide message. No marks
Of violence were found.

MOSCOW, Jan. 26.-The day passed
with complete quiet. the strikers gen.
orally remaining indoors and not visit
ing the heart. of the city. The Tverskaia
and other principal thoroughfares have
resumed their normal appearance. Sew
eral mills are reported to have offered
an increase of W res to their employees
A Press correspondent visited the in
dustrial districts to-day and found that
no factories were in operation in the
whole region south of the river, with
the exception of one large establish
ment, which was amply guarded in or
der to.prevent possible intimidation of
workmen; but there was no attempt at
such intimidation.
Although the strike is steadily
spreading, the movement thus far has
not been accompanied by collisions of
great gravity. To-days events were re-
stricted to minor skirmishes on the
northern and eastern outskirts of the
city, in which the troops successfully
resisted all efforts of the crowds to
break through the Gordon.
No bloodshed is reported. Both the
authorities and the masters have shown
admirable GOODNESS in the face of the
situation, the former avoiding provo
cation by studiouSly concealing the
troops, and the latter by displaying
readiness to meet the mems demands.
During the correspondents visit to
the factories south of the river, which
employ hundreds of thousands of men,
he saw no more than 200 workmen in
the streets, and discovered that the
men were all staying indoors. 1t ap-
pears that when the strikers made the
round of the mills, calling upon their
comrades to quit work under threat OF
wrecking the plants, the masters decid-
ed to allow the men to take holiday
with full pay, provided they remained
in their dwellings,. and the workmen
generally consented.
Meanwhile the workmen and the
masters are negotiating for a settle

firms already have offered. an advance
