CRUISER ON WAY

INDEPENDENCE MAY BE ACTING
EITHER FOR OR AGAINST
MORALES.
Inhabitants Agitated and Anxious Also
Because They Do Not Know What
United States Will Do.

CAPE HAYTIEN, Hayti, Dec. 80
The Dominican cruiser Independence
has started for Monte Christi, on the
northern coast of Santo Domingo, ac-
lcording to information received here,
but it is not known whether she is act
ing in behalf of the fugitive President
Morales or in the interests of Vice Presi-
dent Caceres, the temporary president
of Santo Domingo.
Gen. Rodriguez, the governor of Monte
Christi, who is understood to be support
ing Morales, has occupied San Lorenzo
De Guayubin, about twenty-five miles
southwest of Monte Christi, and is
strengthening his position there while
awaiting the arrival of Morales.
The inhabitants of the district of Mon
tie Christi are in a state of agitation and
it is expected that the decisive struggle
between the rival leaders will take place
in that part Of the country.
There is also anxiety as to the attitude
of the United States Telegraphic COM
munication between Peurto Plata and

He Spoiled II All.

w. Caryl Ely of Buffalo, the president
or the American Street Railway associa
ton, was talking at the convention in
Philadelphia about motormen's and con-
ductors' adventures.
"A conductor came to me with a smil-
ing face the other day." he said. He
wanted to tell me what had happened
on an incoming car.
ut seem that a middle-aged woman
and her little son, lad of or I years.
got on the car, and as soon as they were
seated the woman took a half dollar out
of her pocket and handed it to the young
ster to pay the fare with.
1.-THE boy held the coin in his small,
fat hand, and examined it closely and
solemnly.
THE conductor appeared for the fares,
and the youngster gave him the half dol
lar with owlish solemnity.
Ihe money was pocketed and 40
cents in change was put in the small,
extended hand.
AS soon as he got this change the
boy laughed, wriggled in his seat, and
shouted gleefully:
oh, ma, he's taken the bad half dol
lar! New York Tribune.

Imagination's Limits.

"When it comes to the four seasons,
give me the autumn for mine," observed
the man who was sitting directly in
front of the conductor. "I've heard that
before" replied his matter-of-fact neigh
Dor on the end. There's wine in the
air, l believe, and a tang that's borne!
in with the early suspicion of frost, and
there's a soft, hazy, dreamy, golden glow
resting on the face OF nature, while the
gorgeously painted leaves that are fall
ing and silently drifting away, like our
hopes and ambitions and aspirations,
give a melancholy touch to the canvas
that invites retrospectlon and harmO-
nizes with it. The outer shells of the
nuts are cracking, the squirrels are chat
tering and laying in their stores and the
shrivelled stacks of cOrnstalks stand like
yellow, worn out sentinels in the brown
fields that have yielded their harvests.
All that's been written; everything's been
written and written pretty badly if the
truth must be told. Autumn is great
theoretically. You're roaming the woods
with a dog and a gun and drinking in
it's beauties-in your mind. When you
hew to the line and foot up the column,
the whole business is in your mind. What
difference does it make to you whether
it's autumn or spring or winter or sum-
mer? What do you get out, of the
changes? A ride in a trolley to business,
a short walk to a restaurant at noon and
a car ride home. The only gun you see
is in the window of hardware store.
Could you load and fire one if you had
one-honest? Probably not A few peo-
pie; that is, comparatively few people,

imagination anyway" said the first
speaker.
