Look for Rebels From Porto Rico.
Washington, D. c., Aug. 17.-Santo
Domingo is again in ferment, and, ac-
cording to dispatches received by the
state department, more revolutionary
troubles are expected there at any
time. Unrest about Monte Christi and
other northern ports of the islands por-
tend further movements against the
government.
Commander Switzerland, in COM
mand of the American fleet guarding
the island against revolutionary expe-
ditions, has been warned to be on the
lookout for parties which are expected
to reach the island from Porto Rico
or other neighboring islands. Porto
Rico is the stronghold of the banished
enemies of Santo Domingo, and any
movement against the Caceres admin
istration from outside is expected from
that island.
The announcement that Jiminez, for
mer president of Santo Domingo, has
sailed from Porto Rico for New York
is believed in Washington to indicate
that Jiminez will endeavor to enlist
Americans in a movement against Ca
ceres
