No Sorrow in Germany.

. Berlin, Nov. 24.-The German press
is not joining in the general European
tenor, Caruso, on charge Of annoying
women in New York.
Berlin has failed to idolize the singer
in the past, and the papers say frankly
that he has long had the reputation in
continental circles for annoying women
with his attentions and surprise is ex-
pressed that he should have escaped ex-
posure so long. .....
American opera singers who have
toured the United States with Caruso
and since settled in Berlin say it was
necessary to lock up the chorus girls
in the American opera houses to pro-
tect them from the stars gallantry.

DOMINICAN UPRISING
REVOLUTION AT MONTE CRIsTr
SUPPOSED JIMEMEz MOVEMENT.

CAPE HAITlEN, Haiti, February ia
messenger who arrived here today from
Monte Cristi. in the northern part of the
republic of Santo Domingo reports that a
revolutionary movement has broken out
at Monte Cristi. Gen. Neney, at the head
of a numerous body of troops. has at
tackled and captured the town OF Dajabon,
on the frontier of Haiti.
Neney is a devoted partisan of Gen. Jim
enez, former president of Santo Domingo,
and it is generally believed that the move
ment is in favor of Jimenez. and that it's
object Is to prevent the government from
holding the approaching elections.
News has reached the government from
Santo Domingo that there is a report there
ti:at another revolution is brewing. 1t is as
yet impossible to learn the moving factors
in this new eruption. So far as can be as
certained. the movement has not yet as
sumed threatening proportions
Secretary Root, before going to the cab
met meeting today, received from the Navy
Department a cablegram from Commander
Switzerland, at Monte Cristi, TO this ef-
feet: There is an insurrection small force
at Dajagen. twenty-four miles south OF
Monte Cristi.''
Commander Southerland adds that there
is no danger IL the de facto government
acts promptly.

THE STARVING JAPANESE.
An Appeal for Their Assistance by the
President.

President Roosevelt today issued an ap-
peal for aid for the starving japanese In
northern Japan. He asks that contribu-
tions be sent to the Red Cross, of which
Charles II. Keep. assistant secretary of
the treasury, is treasurer. The appeal is
as follows:
1.-THE famine situation In northern Japan
Is proving much more serious than at first
supposed, and thousands OF persons are on
the verge of starvation. 1t is calamity
such as may occasionally befall any coun-
try. Nations. like men. should stand ever
ready to aid each other in distress, and I
appeal TO the American people to help from
their abundance their suffering fellow-men
of the great and friendly nation OF Japan.
/ recommend that contributions for this
purpose be sent to the American National
Red Cross, which will forward such funds
to the Japanese Red Cross, to be used as
the Japanese government may direct. Com
tribntfons can be made to the local Red
Cross treasurers or sent direct to Mr..
Charles Hallam Keep. Red Cross treasurer.

PHILIPPINE BILL.
Prediction That It VIII Ultimately
Pass the Senate.

The taking of testimony on the Philip
pines bill, it is expected, win be concluded
during the present week, so that 1t will be
possible early next week for the committee
on the Philippines to get together In a con-
sideration of the bill. Members of the COM
mittee expect that it will not require ex-
tended sessions In order to secure a report
this bill, and 1t is confidently believed
by leading senators who hope to have the
bill passed by the Senate at an early day
that there are now sufficient votes to insure
its passage
IT is understood that twenty-three repub-
lican senators are not likely to vote for the
bill as il will be reported from the COM
mittee but on the other hand republican
senator's believe that there will be sufficient
democratic votes to insure its passage.
According to these calculations the defeat
of the bill can only be accomplished in case
its opponents will be able to secure the
votes of all the democratic enators. except
ten and that is regarded as impossible. The
democrats are divided over this bill, and
there has been a general disposition In the
party not to regard Ii as a party measure.
As the bill secures a reduction of the tariH
many democrats look upon 1t as making
decided concession to the democratic doc
trine of tariff for revenue only. In order
to secure that concession a very large num-
ber of democrats will vote for the Philip
pines bill SO that its advocates are very
confident that there will be sufficient votes
to put II through the Senate.

BERLIN HAS NO HOPES.
Suggestions Are Exchanged, but
Agreement is Not Expected.

BERLIN, February 13.-Some exchanges
of suggestions between this and other gov
ernments regarding the Algeciras negotia-
really no expectation of an agreement
Both France and Germany have taken up
seemingly unyelding positions, France for
a general mandate IN Moroccan affairs and
Germany for a combined administration by
all the interested powers. The view of the
German foreign office Is that if France in
tended to insist on a paramount position in
Morocco why did she take part In the con-
ference?
If Germany should now agree 10 give over
Morocco to France the efforts of years
would be fruitless and long period of un-
rest in European affairs it is believed would
begin, the Issue of which no one ventures
TO predict. 1t IS likened in official quarters
however. to the period from 1866 to 1870,
when the economic life of the principal con-
tinen;al countries was disturbed continu-
ously by fears and rurnors of war.
The dissolution of the Algeclras confer
talk Will certainly be succeeded by re-
ViNal OF mutual distrust between France
and Germany. Suspicion was aroused here
today by the news from Lalla Marnia prov
ince of Oran Algeria, that the Moorish pre-
tender, Blu Hamara. is assembling the inde-
pendent tribes for foray against towns
near the Algerian frontier
AS the pretender Is considered to be fully
controlled by the French his activity at this
moment is disquieting as indicating tha t
France has resumed her forward policy In
Morocco.

COLLIDED IN THE FOG
Three Lives Lost in East River
Crashes TODAY

NEW YORK. February I3.-At least three
hFes are believed to have been lost in the
East river today when one vessel was cut
completely in two and two others had holes
stove in them by tugboat which was
running blindly In a fog and rammed into
shipping at the foot of East 21st street.
lmmedia tely after the accident river
pilots and watchmen nearby heard men,s
voices In the river crying for help. Be-
cause of the fog rescuers were unable to
locate the source of the cries, which be-
came more infrequent and faint. until they
ceased altogether. One of the witnesses to
the accident said that he heard a woman's
screams mingled with those of men in cries
for help.
The loss of life is believed to have oc-
CURED from the hay barge Eastern of the
Lehlgh Valley railroad, on which II Is
known that at least three members of TIE
crew were In the habit of sleeping evdry
night. The hay barge was moored at the
dock as usual last night, and was lying
there when the tugboat Ganego of the Ie-
high Valley rammed her. In backing away
the tug disappeared from view In The fog
and was not seen again by those on shore
The barge broke into two sections one of
which sank Immediately. The other turned
bottomside up and floated away The force
of the collision threw the barge against a
heavy lighter, staving a hole in the hull
of that craft, and knocked away part of the
forward rigging of the schooner James A.

TENNEssEE's SPEED TRIAL.
New IArmored Cruiser Exceeded the
Contract Requirement.

BOSTON, February 13.-The new armored
cruiser Tennessee made an unofficial speed
or Y. nots on her speed trial yesterday
according TO the report of one of the trial
board. There was slight accident In
course of the trial which was repaired, but
which resulted in delay of several hours
The speed shown is .l6 of knot in excess
OF the contract requirements The mem
bers of the trial board We're landed at this
port after midnight and left on an early
train for Washington.
The accident comprised the dropping out
of one Of the "brasses' of the crankpin
of the main engine. 1t occurred after the
vessel had been going nearly two hours and
1t not only caused a delay of about six
hours but necesstated a second start. The
cruiser was then given the full four hours
test, finishing just before . O'Clock. The
mishap apparently did not affect her subse-
quent speed unfavorably. The engineers
figures show that the Tennessee averaged
12S revolutions a minute on the trial On
her screw standardization test Sunday off
Rockland. Me, the government board
certained that 1888 revolutions a minute
was necessary to reach the contract speed.
