The natives of Santo Domingo in this city
are all agog over the arrival here from
Porto Rico OF General Eugenio Deschamps,
one OF the Dominican fighting generals
whose presence. 1t was strongly intimated
was the forerunner of an instruction to de-
pose President Ramon Caceres Of Santo
Domingo. against whom there has for some
time been much opposition on the part of
the political leaders of the country.
General Deschamps was vice-president Of
Santo Domingo during the Presidency Of
General Wos Gil, and at another time
was Governor of Puerto Plata Because of
his opposition to the government of Pres1-
dent Caceres, he has been for some time In
exile in Porto Rico. where are also at the
present time two former presidents OF the
Dominican Republic, General Carlos Nor
ales and General Juan Isidro Jimenez, both
of whom are as bitter in their enmity to
President Caceres as General Deschamps.
Another leader of the movement against
the present regime is Generate Horacio
VasuueS, likewise a former president or
santo Domingo and leader of the Hora-
cists. party. He, too, Is practically in exile.
Some time ago he wrote to President
Csceres the terms OF which the latter
could count on his support.

forms which included the removal from

General Deschamps is staying at board

his mission is. he is executing 1t with great
energy.
Objections to Caeeres.
The principal objection to the Caceres
government, IL was said, was the looseness
with which 1t conducted its financial az
fairs. Much protest has been made against
the retention Of Velasquez in tho ONCE OF
Minister of the Treasury, and recently
there was a report that President Caceres
was to transfer him to the Interior De-
partment but this report was beteVed 10

One OF the things that has never downed
was the negotiation by Velasquez OF the
