In Sa1to Domingo, Is Back

several occasions when she first ar
rived IN the city.
Labor Is very cheap on the island
and very few OF the people work, the
majority OF the men belonging to the
army, even boys Of IA and 8 being
compelled 20 serve. It takes the
laundreSs from early Monday morning
until 1880 o'clock Saturday night TO
do the washing and sometimes she
works on Sunday. Each day there
is a different process TO be gone
through. the women refusing to use
any OF the modern commences. But
when the clothes are finished they are
pure white, according TO Miss Dickey.
who watched the laundresses in their
work.
Island I'm Ruins.
The island is practically in ruins
SAYS Miss Dtckey, and there is no Gull
tivation to speak OF. The interior OF
the island Is rich f., fine woods and the
soil of the island will grow almost
anything, but the natives burn the
mahogany and the property goes to
waste. There is but one highway on
the island, it being 10 miles long and
as a result practically all travelling Is
done by boat.
The natives have absolutely no love
for any certain leader or government
nor are they lighting with any def
mite end in view, and the faction with
the most money attracts the greatest
number of soldiers, says Miss Dickey.
At the present time the government
of Santo Domingo is short Of funds
and the soldiers are deserving TO the
revolutionists who will pay them for
their work.
During her visit in the little re-
public Miss Ddckey secured numerous
interesting pictures, among them
views of the soldiers OF the govern
ment army which Is at this time de-
Tending Santo Domingo city from the
rebels. The warriors are dressed in
garments OF every description and
present ha1f-beggar. semi -nlIltary
appearance. They are poorly equip
ped and subsist almost entirely upon
beans and rice cooked together. al
though the fruits which grow wild on
the island are used as food by the
people to a great extent.
The Crazy Americans.
Loco Americanos" is the term ap-
piled by the natives TO all citizens OF
the United States. This means
"crazy Americans In English and the
natives thus express their contempt
for the visitors and others from this
country. 1t Is customary for all for
eigners to carry weapons in Santo Do
mingo and even the women are COM
PEELED To arm themselves whenever
they go out of their homes. Although
the revolution is comparatively a
miniature affair, there is considerable
danger involved for foreigners who
stay in the districts where hostilitles
are in progress, as the natives fire in
discriminatory, the warfare being
wholly a scrinlmage affair.

Patriotism has no part in the revo-
luton in Santo Domingo. according
to Miss Helen Dickey. 1901 Van Blu
rem ST., who has just returned from
the war ridden island where the ma
tives have been fighting almost con-
tinually for 400 years. Miss Dickey
had many interesting experiences
while in the little tropical republic 10
which her father, II. s. Dickey, was
sent by the United States government
as a special representative in struc-
tural matters
Shortly before Miss Dickey left the
island the house in which her party
was staying was fired upon for sew
eral minutes. When the firing start
ed the party was on the porch OF the
house, which is about a quarter OF a
mile from the city. The bullets began
To whistle over the house and finally
spattered against the sides OF the
building. This continued for some
time and when the natives stopped
firing "a large cannon shell was found
in the rear yard. The government
forces had promised the American
consul that the house in which Miss
Dickey was staying would not be fired
upon and when an Investigation Of the
affair was made the officers in charge
claimed that the government soldiers
were attempting to shoot some rebel
spies. The shooting of the cannon
they said was accidental.
Americans Warned.
ON the day that Miss Dickey left
Santo Domingo the American min
lister, who is making his headquarters
aboard a ship in the bay, warned the
other Americans in the city to leave
as the danger of injury was increas-
ing Many OF them did so as it was
holt ha offx
proper would take place in the near
future. The city is surrounded by a
thick wall and barricades are placed
in the gates and streets.
The SantO Domingans." said Miss
Dickey, have many peculiar customs,
one of the most interesting being the
manner of counting. A young man
who wishes TO marry a girl every
evening will stand across the street
from her home looking at the house.
This viii continue until the father
comes across the street and asks the
young man his intentions. If he wishes
10 marry the girl he is allowed TO get
"A bit closer and may cross the street.
lie can then talk TO the young lady
through the bars of the windows and
when he becomes better acquainted is
permitted 10 enter the house. But
he is never left alone with the girl
until Iney are married ana Cnen she
never goes out in public with her hus-
band"
Women Never Accompany Men.
SantO DOMINICAN women never ac-
company men on the streets and the
American women are laughed at by
the natives when they pass along. It
is not safe for the American women
to be on the streets alone and Miss
Dickey was subjected to danger on

TIPPED Off RAID
POLICE TESTIFY
Frank KieS Draws Fine of $50
and 80 Days in Jail in SUM-
day Selling CaSe-SeCret
Passages Uncovered.

Frank Kies. 42s +. Iasalle av. was
fined IS and costs and sentenced to
days In the county jail in city court
Thursday morning when he was found
guilty by Judge Warner OF selling
liquor on Sunday Kies' place was
one Of the four saloons which was
raided last Sunday by Chief John
Kuespert OF the city detectives. and a
detail OF patrolmen. The case was
appealed.
In the trial OF Kies' case "A neat
wiring and signal system was eX
posed. according to the testimony OF
officers who made the raid They
stated on the witness stand that upon
their approach the men in the base
ment of the saloon were warned by
an electric bell or buzzer which was
connected with a button in the back
yard. The officers claim that a man
was stationed I'm a shanty in the back
premises OF the place, whose business
It was 10 signal the approach Of the
bulls"
There was also repeated mention
Of underground passages" down
stairs bars" and other mysterious
affairs. Kies' attorney claimed that
according 20 the affidavit. which read
sold. bartered and gave away In
tOxicating liquor" the defendant was
not guilty OF the charge as there was
no evidence which would prove that
such action had been taken. He fur
Their declared that Kies, who testified
similarly had been at home at the
time Of the raid and had been sum-
mOned by neighbOrs who saw the ap-
prOach Of the policemen.
However. Chief Kuespert testified
that he had arrested Kies in the base
ment Of a grocery store next door, in
which il was brought out in testimony
all the drinking had been done. There
were IA or Is men I'm the basement.
according TO the police, at the time
OF the raid, but none Of them were
called upon 10 testify at the trial
That point was dwelt upon at length
in the argument Of the defendants

The Kies case has brought to the
attention OF the police that there is
a possibility Of more "dens'' in the
city. An attempt will be made ac-
cording to police officials. to uncover
all such places and punish their OPP

PRICES CONTINUE TO RISE
IN CHICAGO MARKETS.

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-Food prices
continue to soar here today, with the
exception of pork. Packers predict
ed there would be lower prices within
a few days, but federal, state and city
authorities resumed their probe into
the causes for the present advances,
with renewed vigor.
Sugar yesterday climbed to seven
cents and -four also advanced al
though wheat was lower. Pork loins
dropped seven cents a pound but
beef advanced half cent in the
wholesale price. In many of the re-
tail stores the prices climbed even
more than the advance quoted by the
wholesalers.
J. ogden Armour in a statement
declared the higher prices were not
caused by the European war, but
were due to local conditions. which
would have caused the increases had
there been no war.
