DENIES REVOLT RUMOR.
No InSurectiOn I'm SantO Domingo,
Saqs Consul General.

Fabio FiaIlo, Consul General Of SantO Domingo
in this city denied yesterday the existence OF
an insurrection in his country, as has been re-
ported and said that none was likely
According to Senior F1allo. the only military
chiefs opposed TO President Caceres who have
any following in prison The men, he said.
who would like to depose the present chief exec
utive Of the Dominican republic are adventures
who hope TO get their hands on the S1500OOO
now deposited IN the National City Bank for the
payment of the Dominican foreign debt. and
which will be returned to that government In
case the United States Senate does not pass the
Sauto Domingo treaty
1t was learned also yesterday that General
Juan Isidro Jimenez. ex-President OF Santo
Domingo whose name, too. figures in the re-
ported revolutionary plans when recently in this
country filed a communication with the State
Department at Washington asking the interven-
ton of this government by supervising the cleo
tions in the republic.
He asked that an additional governor be ap-
pointed for each OF the twelve provinces. so
that a fair count could be had. The State De-
partment. of course. took action on this re-
quest.
Jimenez sailed subsequently for Porto Rico.
where he is said to be awaiting an opportunity
TO descend on SantO Domingo and lead an in
surrection.
Senor FialIo said yesterday:
This reported outbreak at Macoris is of no
consequence IL, indeed. any really occurred
The report tells of attack on fortress, which
is rather puzZling to one who knows thet place.
as there is no fortress at MacOris. l nave no
fear OF an insurreCtton.
In the first place, there IS no military man
In the country who has prestige enough to
organize a rebellion Generals Barba, Pequeiro
and Sandoval who are in prison are the only
leaders with any prestige. General Jimenez Is
a merchant and not a fighter. The only real
fighter was General DemetTius Rodriguez, who
was killed in the recent outbreak at Puerto
Plata.
General Morales is a without party.
He is now trying to ALLEVIATE a part of the
.Iim6nistas but no one will follow him and ne
can do nothing
The men who are trying to foment trouble IN
Santo Domingo are adventurers who have hopes
OF the defeat of the treaty in Washington
whereby they expect that the $1.500.00O OF
Dominican revenues deposited hare will fall into
their hands. But the plan cannot succeed.

It is understood that the Bureau of Corpora

OF the government officials to proceed against

The administration representatives have not the
least doubt that sufficient evidence is at hand
to convict the company of such violations.

Mutual Reserve Life's offices in Great Britain
was made yesterday at the home Offices by
President Burnham:
The amount Of business outstanding I'm Great

pense loading 10 provide thcrefrom Tor the @ Cost

Mutual Reserve Life said that the amount OF
outstanding business in Great Britain would
not exceed S5.OOOOOO. Last year there was
falling off in the old business amounting TO
about per cent This falling off has continued
SO rapidly that 1t was deemed wise not to con-
tlnue the expenses Of the big office In London
