The decorators strike has put a stop to

In consequence. Father Ducey's silver
jubilee celebration next Sunday will he up
act and the wedding of Miss Florence Adele
Kelley to A. v. Rsyburn. Jr., Of st. Louis,
on June 4, will have to take place elsewhere.
1t was the parishioners' idea to show their
good will for the priest by making the
church new and splendid for his twenty
fifth anniversary there. The work was.
almost done last week when the strike came.
The place now is a maze Of soaffolding.
through which partly done gold leaf work is
visible here and there. In place of the altar
there Ia a tangle Of boards and plaster. AS
Father Ducey said yesterday, it Is going to
look very magnificent, but it does not just
now.
When the strike order reached the dozen
men working at the church a week ago
they were as much disturbed as anybody.
They had taken an interest in the job, and
some OF them we're Catholics. But nothing
could be done, and Father Duoey has re-
signed himself to holding the jubilee service
down in the basement,
The Reyburn-R Kelley wedding Is to take
place in st. Anne's church in East Twelfth
street, east Of Fourth avenue, and there
Father Duoey will wed them on June 4 at

He is now doing time In Sing Sing.
Mills asserted title to the money after

Dominican revolutionists attacked the Gov
eminent fort and then withdrew after re-
leasing a number Of prisoners. No advices
have been received here as to more fighting,
The extent of the operations Of the Ameri-

event Of a revolution in that country will be
to protect American interests, lives and

would seem that the United States could do
but lAtle toward intervening in a Dominican
revolution, but the customs houses Of Santo
Domingo, for The possession Of which revolu-
tions are always fought, are in charge Of
American agents, and the lives Of these
Americans must not be endangered in any
way-consequently, there must be no
seizures Of customs houses.
Christopher II. Payne, the American Con-
sui at st. Thomas, to-day telegraphed Sec
