SANTO DOMINGO, March 3l.--The
proposition of Santo Domingo for the

republic as finally revised, contem-
plates the payment TO the government
of 40 per cent of the customs revenues

per cent TO he deposited in a bank in
the United States for the creditors and
to remain in such depository until the
American senate and the Dominican
congress act upon the Dawson-Sanchez

but If the convention is rejected the
moneys shall be handed over to the

Pending decision as to the fate of the
convention all payment OF claims will
be suspended. All duties, including

New York, Jan. 29..-Blinded by

on the concrete floor and lay there
until death ended their sufferings.

bleeding and scalded they were discov-

They were hurried to a hospital

HOWL|NC MOB .
Is Surging Through the
Streets of CITY
of Warsaw.
POWERLESS

Warsaw, Jan. 30.-The city Of War
saw is in a state of anarchy and the
riots which began Saturday night and
still continue bid fair to lead to a sit
uation more replete with horror than
that just passed in st. Petersburg.
Blood has been shed in nearly every
district of the city. The strike dis
orders of last week have been trans
formed into bread riots and starvation
will likely be the fate of those strik'
ers who do not either return to work
or secure their food by robbery.
The reservists have made common
cause with the strikers and as every
one Of them Is under oath OF loyalty
to the Russian flag, thousands OF men
destined for the far east will be tried
by court-martial instead Of being sent
against the Japanese.
During Sunday night the pillaging
was extended to all of the large stores
in the principal streets and the dam
age so far done is well nigh meal
culable.
At 1920 this (Monday) morning, a
bowling mob surged through the
street, wrecliing everything in its path,
breaking down the doors of vodka sa.
looms, and drinking the stuff like
water.
When day breaks the ordinary city
life will have been entirely suspended
and unless the next few hours put a
check so far believed out of the ques-
tion upon the mob Warsaw will be in
the hands of wreckers and dynamiters.

In the Wholesale Dis.
triCt Causes Over
S5O0,OOO Loss.
F|REMEN SUFFERED

Omaha, Neb., Jan. 29.-With one or
two exceptions the first estimates of
the loss in last nights disastrous fire
ia the wholesale districts of Omaha
were substantially correct, the total
reaching to s54S,O00, with insurance of
S495, 900. Although the fire was prac-
tioally under control by o'clock. the
ruins continued to blaze until daylight
and several streams Of water have
been kept playing on the debris all
day. With their thick coating Of ice,
the ragged walls of the Kirkendall and
Mercer buildings loomed up like huge
relics of the glacial age and when
the sun broke through the clouds at
roon, the sight was as brilliant as it
was awful.
Temporary locations have been Sc
cured by most Of the firms affected and
business will not be seriously inter-
fered with. The Kirkendall shoe fac
tory will work overtime to fill imme-
diate orders. The loss to the Kirken-
dali building, which belonged to the
Ezra Millard estate was not as great
as at first believed, as only the two
upper stories will need to be torn
down.
The heavy stock carried by the Kirk
endall company, however, is practical
ly all destroyed or rendered unsafe
