Washington, d. c. (SpeciaD .-Ad-
vices received by the State Department
confirm the report Of the department
Of President Morales from Santo Do
mlngo City, and the fact that it was the
intention OF the Dominican Cabinet,
which now controls the situation, TO in
duct into the Presidential office General
Caceres, the Vice President The dis
patch received by the State Department
said that President Morales was nav
about IS miles west of Santo Domingo
City lighting the troops of the Cabinet. -
The Dominican Minister to the United
States, Mr.. Jaubert, was an early caller
at the State Department and conferred
with Secretary OF State Root on the
affairs of Santo Domingo. Mr. Jau-
bert showed Secretary Root a cablegram
received by him from Senor Tejera. the
Dominican Minister for Foreign Affairs,
stating that General Caceres was ex-
pected to arrive at Santo Domingo City
and would Immediately be proclaimed
President OF the little black republic
He stated that he had heard nothing in
dicating that President Morales had been
wounded.
Mr. Jaubert was inclined to doubt very
much whether President Morales wotNd
attempt to organize an army for the
purpose of fighting the troops of thu
new Government party, directed by the
Cabinet, as he must himself realize the
tutility OF any attempt of that kind II
was also the opinion of the Minister tha,
the departure of Morales from Sante
Domingo City and the consequent change
IN the executive branch Of the Govern
ment would not in any way affect the
existing agreement between Ssnto Do
mingo and the United States, which pro-
vides that Dominican customs revenues
shall be collected by Americans appoint
ed by the Dominican President for that
purpose. The Cabinet of Santo Do
mingo and General Caceres are com
mitted to the existing arrangement and
are not likely, it is thought, to disturb
it.
The outbreak will cause no change in
the plans of the Navy Department to
reduce the naval force of the United
States in the waters of Santo Domingo.
The third division of the North Atlantic
feet, consisting OF the Brooklyn and the
protected cruisers Chattanooga, Taco
ma and Galveston, which have been doing
duty during the past summer in Domi-
nican waters, is to sail Immediately for
European waters. It is held at the State
Department that the internal troubles
of Santo Domingo are at present none of
our affair, and as long as thre is no
disturbance of the rights and properties
of American citizens the Dominicans will
be left alone to fight out their troublSs.
Admiral Sigsbee'S fleet will sail for me

ders from the Navy Department 1t was
admitted at the State Department that it
was likely that some of the ships of this
squadron would be used for service in
the Baltic to look out for American in
terests in that section of the world.

BONE AGE" ON THE PRAIRIEs.
How Many Settlers Lived While Get
 ting Their Claims.

The pioneers of Kansas will never forget the buffalo bone age." When central and southwestern Kansas were settled the prairie was strewn with buffalo bones. Those were hard times in Kansas and the gathering of these bones enabled the early settlers to live while they were getting their claims broken out for the producing of crops.
 Nine-tenths of the pioneers of that section of Kansas-and there weren't very many at that-had literally nothing but team and few house. hold goods that they had hauled from the east in single wagon. Of course there were no buffalo. for this was in the late 70's, but their bones strewed the plains, and these bones were the only thing that had commercial value and they were utilized. They were hauled in great wagonloads to the nearest railway, often from sixty to one hundred miles away, and sold.
 The horns were the more valuable and they went first, but the rest of the skeleton soon followed. There were no fortunes made by these early bone hunters, for large load of buffalo bones brought only from $5 to $S at the railroad towns, but the proceeds from a load enabled the settler to buy little flour, coffee and occasionally meat and lumber.-Kan- sas City Star.

EXPLOITING AN EXPOSITION.
How Illinois Commission is Spreading
 Fame of Jamestown Exposition.

How Illinois Commission is Spreading
 Fame of Jamestown Exposition. Norfolk. Va. Nov 20.-Electricity is the proverbial illustration for speed and expansion. It's subtle power is so insidiously marvellous and so extensively supplying that all minds give up the search for com petitor as metaphoric expression for uniyersality and flight. But ad- hitting the truth of its claim, it yet must be said that 1t is palpable agency, primarily and without em- ploying the sense of touch, either lit- i erally or by instrument, its power re- mains an esoteric one.
 There is another agency which is entitled to a classification not hope- lessly secondary to electricity by req son of it's widespread influence, the agency of advertising.
 A patient investigator of the se- crets of nature tolls along day after day, and away into the night of those days, in an obscure room of a se- cluded quarter in a town not general ly known. He finally succeeds in his labors and makes the discovery which has absorbed him. But although he has forced secret from the arcana, there is no one in the wide world con- yersant with that fact besides him self. His discovery must be made known in order that 1t shall have a value. Without the means of pub licity 1t is worthless And even the bare fact of its announcement with out confirmatory proof will be re- garded delusion, the effervescence of dreamer. Just here is where the inestimable value of advertising comes in for consideration and appre- citation.
 This means of exploitation has built up the industries of the United States, and the triumphal ascendency Of American inventions and enter prises, when contrasted with those of the old world. is due principally to advertising. The American people place a high estimate on advertising, and the function has, by reason of expectancy, come to be paramount one in our civic life.
 The country is we'll supplied with agencies of advertising, so that the expectancy is not without gratiflca- tion, and one of these agencies has earned the peculiar favor of the Jamestown ter-centennial exposition, which will be held on the shore and waters of Hampton Roads in old Vir- ginia from the 26th of April till the 1st of Deeember, 1907.
 The agency referred to is the Humphrey Advertising Co of Chica- go, the head of which firm is the Hon J. A. Humphrey. native Virginian, but an adopted citizen of the pushing and thriving prairie state of Illinois MT Humphrey is inspired by his con- genital love for the Old Dominion in placing the resources of the agency over which he presides at the disposi- tion of the Jamestown exposition to spread its advertising matter over an extent of territory which covers thir- teen states and includes 4,272 rail- l
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-11-20

way stations. The value of this dis tribution, estimated on cash basis, will be about S25,0OO.
 MT Humhreys is the Illinois state commissioner to the Jamestown ex- position, and his official duties will be discharged from motive of pa triotism as well as official obligation. The high motive which inspires him to thus place the far-reaching re- sources of the agency at the service of the Jamestown exposition marks him out for the honors of altruism, in this that he seizes the opportunity presented of furthering the interests of his kith and kin in the Old Domin- ion while the patriotic impulse of featuring an ethological idea is also kept steadily in operation.
