toes and revolutions of the negroes
The cry for freedom has been raised
by the different races. and each time
1t has been followed by the most
frightful atrocities.
Finally, in 1904, the negro Emperor
Dessaiines ordered wholesale mas
sacre of the whites, which was carried
out with shocking brutality. The
white people with their wealth were
driven from the land. In 1914 the
island was divided as the people call

and obtained their freedom from the
negro rule of the Haitian side OF the

has ever since been kept sacred as the
birthday of the Dominican Republic.
But this did not stop revolutions, for
there were not enough officers to 60
around. and from time to time there
have been uprisings.
Santo Domingo fairly teens with
ruins whose historic associations can
not fail to interest Americans. His
tory tells us that Columbus landed on
the spot now known as Santo Domingo
city and named the city for the saint
of that day. Tradition has 1t that he
tied his boat 70 tree on tho edge OF
the Ozama River. and this old tree
gnaried and bent, is looked upon with
almost superstittous veneration by the
natives. Tho ruins of an cid building
on the opposite side Of the river are
pointed out as the place of the humiii-
, alton OF the discoverer. A splendid
monument has been set UP in tbs
cathedral to his memory. and some
historians declares that the monumen,
contains his bones. =
