LOOKING FOR THE LIvoNIA.
Vessel Supposed to Be Taking Cart
ridges to Dominican Insurgents.


ridges to Dominican Insurgents.
United Staes Minister Dawson at Santo
Domingo has been advised by the State De-
partment to look out for the American bark
Livonia. which sailed from Philadelphia, for
Sanchez two weeks ago and is supposed to
be carrying a large quantity Of Mauser
cartridges for revolutionists.
Mr.. Joubert. the Dominican minister, said
today that the Livonia is under strong sus-
picion. but he was unable to give any In
formation to what revolutionary party
might be getting the ammunition. Since
the United States government has taken
charge of the finances of the republic, Mr..
Joubert says opponents of the government
are no longer able to extort money from
merchants. and he Is at loss to know where
money could be had to buy ammunition.
1t is unlikely that the Livonia will be
able to land at Sanchez or elsewhere with
out the knowledge Of the officers of the
United States cruisers and gunboats, who
are keeping a sharp outlook for contra
band shipments. Ordinarily sloops from
Philadelphia reach Sanchez In about two
weeks, and consequently the arrival Of the
Livonia should be reported in few days.

Lacy and C. F. Bollacker, merchant. were
crushed to death under the falling wall of
a burning three-story brick building here
today, and It is feared that several other
persons may also have been caught under
the wall. Fire was discovered early today

building and spread with great rapidity TO
c. r. BoIlackers shoe store, one-story
structure adjoining the burning building.
and a score of volunteers swarmed into the
building to save the stock.
Mr. Bollacxer noticed that the wall OF the
taller building was bullying and called to
the volunteers to leave his store. He then
started into his place of business to see
that every one was out. The wall fell just
as he entered the door, crushing him and
Lacy, who was still IN the store.
II cannot be stated positively whether
other lives were also lost until the ruins

WOULDN'T CRITIoIsE DISMISSAL.
Gen. Davis Praised Work Of tho
Walker Commission.

The course OF President Roosevelt I'm dis
missing the members of tho Walker canal
commission was inquired into by Senator
Morgan yesterday when Gen. George w.
Davis. former governor of the canal zone.
and later a member Of the advisory board
OF engineers. was on tbs stand. Senator
Hopkins objected on the ground that An
oniesr OF the army should not Be put in the
position Of crtticising his superior officer.
GeuL Davis himself said he thought It
would be highly improper for him to make
such an answer.
senator Morgan read the letter of the
President dated April 1. 1905 declaring that
the practical results accomplished had not
been satisfactory and declaring the neces-
sity FOR change In the personnel of the
commission. Gen. Davis had said that the
WORK OF the commission had been excellent
and that 50 far as he knew there had been
no delinquencies on the part OF any MEM
Der OF that commission.
Senator Morgan asked whether any action
by any commissioner had retarded the work
on the canal, when Senator Hopkins made
his objection
Il might say that my opinion would not
De conclusive and I would not presume to
question the right Of the President to take
the course he did. think such authority
Is necessary to the chief magistrate of the
nation" said Gen. Davis.
For several minutes Senators Hopkins and
CitSAkeu III q SPIRITED COuOQuy and
finally Senator Taliaferro said to Ssnator
Hopkins: You are assuming to protect q
witness who has seemed well able to care
for himself. I think the witness should be
permitted to say whether 1t would be en-
barrassing to answer
IT would be the height Of impropriety"
said Gen. Davis, ito express approval or
disapproval of the President, who Is my
superior officer When he wrote that para
graph he had means OF knowledge that I
had not. and I do not know what was in
his mind"
Senator Morgan read from the President s
message to Congress, inviting investigation
of the acts of any of his agents on the
isthmus and then said he would not press
the general to answer because of his rela-
tons to the President He commended the
witness for the course he had taken, but
criticised Senator Hopkins for his efforts
to prevent inquiry into any affairs which
might in any way reflect upon the adminls-
tration.
Gen. Davis will resume his testimony on
Monday at pm.
