FEARS OF REVOLT
Also a Grab Game Of

All Because We Have Not Agreed to

Bearer, We are In.

(By the Associated Press.)

San Domingo, Republic of Santo
Domingo, March 22.-The news of the
postponement by the United States
Senate oS action on the treaty with San
Domingo makes the situation here
acute and an internal uprising seems
TO be imminent, based on the cry that
President Morales has been discredited
in the United States.
President Morales states that he is
prepared TO put down any revolution.
but that more serious matter, in his
mind, Is foreign complications. grow
ing out of Belgium's demands pre-
scented March p. Belgium wants the
customs receipts Of a port of Santo
Domingo to the extent of $25,S33 a
month, according to a former agree
ment, on which no payment has been
made for three years. This first de-
mand is construed as a direct result
of the failure of the treaty between
the United States and Santo Domingo.
President Morales anticipates similar
demands by other foreign powers.
which he will be helpless to resist.
In the course of an interview with
the Associated Press the President
said:
III is entirely possible that the
United States NAV have to send an
ultimatum here, on account of the
Dominican government Delng uIsaDle'
though not unwilling to meet its obi
cations. 1t is utterly impossible Tor
the government to pay the sums due
foreign nations unless the United
States can procure from foreign pow
ers a postponement of their demands.
Otherwise these demands will be
pressed. 1 have no physical or moral
force TO resist them,
With two Dominican ports now in
the hands of the United States and
the failure of the treaty. Dominicans
believe that a grab-game by foreign
powers will begin at once. An Italian
cruiser was here a few days ago but
withdrew to Kingston. The American
gunboat Castine is here with $50 men;
the cruiser Chattanooga is at SANTANA
Bay, the Detroit is at Puerto Plata and
the Dixie is at Monte Cristi. Rear
Admiral Sigsbee has gone to Guam
tanamo for a consultation with Rear
Admiral Barker.
No reply has yet been made to the
Belgium demand.
President Morales has about 200
men under arms ready to crush the
first internal uprising. but should the
custom houses be. seized he speedily
would be without funds with which to
pay his army. which would immedi-
ately desert.

st. Petersburg, March 22.-12:35 a.
m.-The prospects of American ship
builders having large share in the re-
building and enlargement of the Rus
sian navy are growing brighter. An
extensive naval program, which In a
few years will restore Russia to an
equality with the first class sea powers,
hans practically been completed but
has not yet received the final assent of
Emperor Nicholas.
All the foreign shipbuilding inter-
ests are enlisted in the rivalry. The
admiralty is inclined to show special
consideration to the claims of Russia's
French allies, but American PROPOSE
tions also are regarded with favor and
when the orders are distributed, Amer
lea, next to France, is likely to get the
largest share.

This particular crossing was that eff.
fected yesterday afternoon by Temple
of the "A. and NJ. ball team who In
the contest with the Raleigh I'm
knowns," the picked nine" made the
round of the bases after swatting the
ball in the nose.
1t went scudding along to Harris, OF
Franklinton, at short, got through. his
fingers and romped merrily out
into deep left while Temple legged II
around the diamond to the apprecia-
tive howls of some $50 male person
ages and the beaming smiles of four
ladies who made up the audience.
This was one feature of the game
which resulted in a score of 16 to Z
In favor of the A. and M. team after
some 100 minutes of playing. The
game began late despite the calls of
the fans to play BALI and in the
ninth inning came the other feature
of the game when with VIM. Sawyer
of the 'Unknowns" in the box four
of the A. and M. boys were given
bases on balls one man being forced
home.
The ball was swatted hard many
times over in the famous red gully
which once was the receptacle for the
leather in Stanley home run days. The
artists in the box were very largely
"up in the air. during the nine in
nings, though Laval proved good when
he did the stunt for A. and M. begin
ming in the seventh. The men in the
field did pretty good work, rapid at
times, the principal trouble being that
the box work did the work in making
up the big score.
OF course there were errors and hits,
more errors than hits, and the final
result shows this. There were some
doubles some singles, but no ball
playing that lifted the game up to an
average medium affair, though there
was some acrobatic fielding and a
hurrah twirling of bats at times, while
good natured audience tried to liven
up things by differing with Umpire
Asbury, however, refused to cuss
back at the crowd, and the fun did
not mature
Here Is the score by innings and the
zero figures show that at times there
was some really good ball playing. But

In them a soul not given to shrink
From peril on the abyss's brink"

position to embarrass the government
