New Revolution Threatens
Americans and Washington
Decides on Quick Action.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 13.-The United
States Is about to intervene in Santo
Domingo for the protection ot foreign
lives and property. A fresh revolution,
believed to be in part q renewal OF the
recent one thought to have been
| squelched, Is threatening American and
/ other interests.
The gunboat Wheeling at Guanta-
namo; the gunbost Tacoma at Blue
fields, Nicaragua, and the protected
cruiser Des Moines at Key West. each
carrying a complement OF marines and
a full crew OF bluejackets. are the most
| available forces for the work. None Is
more than three days away from the
Island. The gunboat Petrol is already in
santo Dominson waters.
The customs house Of the island. con
trolled by the United States by treaty,
must be protected against seizure by
the revolutionists. Further than that,
advices to-day conveyed news OF so
serious nature that the State Depart
ment began preparations for immediate
activity.
The latest outbreak IL believed to be
promoted by the prime movers In tho
recent insurrecuon. which eliminated in
the battle Of Dajabo Aug. 4 to =. when
that place was taken by the revolution
lists.
Latest reports to the State Depart
ment Indicate that Notwithstanding re-
assuring promises from the Dominican
Government. that revolution never has
been completely suppressed but has
smoidered only to break out afresh and
with greater intensity.
Officials here believe the movement
has been fomented by a junta in Nav
York. Gen. Horauo Vasquez, a promi-
nent member of the Cabinet OF Presl-
dent Caceres. who was ASA ssinated last
November. and candidate for the
Presidency when Gen. Euladio Victoria
was elected, is interested In It. When
Victoria assumed the Presidential chair
