Will Not Allow Dominican Cum
boat TO lombard.
Many Regard Latest Action as Equiv
aIent to a Protectorate Over
the Islands.
THEY ALL LOOK ALIKE TO US.

Washington, Jan. 2.-Advices re-
ceived at the navy department from.
Santo Domingo are to the effect thav
the Nashville and Scorpion are at
Puerta Plata, under the command of.
Commander w. II. Sutherland. and
that notice has been promptly served
upon the Dominican gunboat. the In7(
dependencia, that she would not b.
allowed to lombard the town. andR
she desired to fight she would have
to sail beyond the limits of the town
to do so.
Since the Independence is a ship
of only 1929 tons displacement. while
nat of the Nashville is 1870, and
that of the Scorpion $50 tons, there
is no doubt entertained here that up
on the advice of the commander Of
the ships the Independencia would
readily forego the bombarding jof
the town of Puerta Plata. T.
1t is pointed out at the navy de-
partment that a precedent for such
action on the part OF the United
States war vessels was SET by both
Commander Dillingham; agd Admiral
Sigsbee, who, upon separate occas-
ions warned warning factions in the
Dominican republic that if they must
fight they would have 70 go outside
the settled portion OF the island to
do II. Each of these warnings was
given at Monte Cristi. and it is taken
that yesterdays warning was exact
~ along the same line.
In Washington, however, the
event is given D double significance.

In fact. the action is interpreted
here as meaning that this govern

The dedication of Guggenheim hall
at the Golden School of Mines. this

the school of mines by a Colorado man

The incidents of Mr.. Guggenheim'
gift to the school illustrate the charac
teristics of this Colorado man to finish
what he undertakes. He first gave $50.
900 to erect such building as was
most needed, but, when the plans were
completed. 1t was found that $4,000
additional was needed to complete 1t
This sum Mr.. Guggenheim gave, ant
then, when the building was com
pleted, gave an additional $4,000 ts
buy the costly apparatus and furniture
needed to make the school complete ir
everey detail.
There are now more than 300 pupils
In attendance at the school, many o.
whom come from foreign countries
near famous seats of learning. The
attendance before the new hall was
built was not large. but Mr.. Guggen
helms gift gave the school wide fame
in educational circles, and provides
the school with library and apparatus
second to none, and. as result thu
school can now boast of as good {
patronage as is given to any mining
school in the world.
