Authority to Make Survey.
United States Engineer Flagler today
received authority from the War Depart
ment, at Washington, TO make an exami-
nation Of st. Jones' River, which connects
Dover with the Delaware Bay, with a
view TO making a recommendation that
an allotment be made from the govern
ments emergency appropriation for inn
proving the stream this year. Assistant
Engineer Miller having returned from
Porto Rico, it is likely that he will be de
tailed on the work as soon as he completes
his report Of his work in Porto Rico.
A short time ago a petition was sub
mitted to the authorities at Washington
bv Senator Alice asking for an allotment
Of $4,000, for improving st. Jones'
River, hence the action OF the govern
ment. The necessity for action at this
time is due to the fact that Congress did
not make an appropriation for the stream
at its last session.

President of SantO Domingo
Only in Name.
HE WAS ONLY TOLERATED
Chief Executive Had No Party of His

Abdicate.
HE WAS ONLY TOLERATED

PUERTO PLATA, Santo Domingo.
Jan. AFTER the stormy scene in the
Domingau cabinet last week and the
attemuted riot, governmental affairs
have taken a turn for the better. Wise
acres, however, consider the change TO
be temporary. and are expecting ser
ious developments in the near future
Ine disturbance in the cabinet at San
to Domingo and the attempt at riot
were caused by the violent attack by
wee President Ramon Caceres upon
President Morales. Morales is without
party, and is dependent upon the
Horacista party, in which he is a par
Venu. His aim has naturally been to
form a party for himself. This he has
attempted to do by placing in office
many influential men of the old Jimen-
iste party. with a view of thus win
ming them over. Vice President Ramon
Caceres violently attacked such action
and called upon President Morales to
abstain from politics. to strictly adhere
10 his functions as President and 10
ptaCed In office, without the consent Of
the HOracistes and replace them with
men selected by the latter party
Morales was at first stubborn, but the
pressure brought TO bear by Caceres
was so great and Morales was SO much
alarmed by the uprising of the people
Of the city of Santo Domingo that he
was finally obliged to accede 10 the
demands of his vice president.
