Outbreak.

Washington, Aug. 16.-San Domingo
is again in a ferment, and according to
dispatches received by the state de
partment, more revolutionary troubles
are expected there at any time. The
unrest about Monte Cristo and other
northern ports of the island portend a
further movement against the govern
ment, and Commander Switzerland,
who is in command of the American
feet which is guarding regarding rev
olutionary expeditions, has been warn
ed to be on the lookout for parties ex-
pected to reach the island from Porto
Rico or other neighboring islands.
Stronghold of Enemies.
Porto Rico is the stronghold of enc
mics of San Domingo who have been
banished, and any movement against
the Cacaras administration from the
outside is expected from the island.
The announcement that Jiminez, for-
mer president of San Domingo. has
sailed from Porto Rico for New York,
is believed in Washington to indicate
Jiminez will endeavor TO enlist Amer
leans in the movement against Caceres.
