Situation On Island Serious.

Washington, June 5.-Dominican rebels who fled from Puerto Plata and Monte Christi at the approach of American marines have strongly entrenched themselves outside of the latter town. A dispatch to the state department today from Minister Rus sell at Santo Domingo gave further details of the occupation of the town and indicated that the situation on the island was more serious than had been believed here.
 A paraphrase of the minister's mes sage follows:
 After A hours notice marines were landed on June 1 at Monte Christi and Puerto Plata. The fort at Puerto Plata was occupied after two hours. One marine officer probably fatally wounded. Fort and town of Monte Christi occupied without resist ance but rebels strongly entrenched outside of the town"
 The wounded marine officer was Capt. Herbert J. Hirshinger, con- manding the detachment from the battleship Rhode Island, who died at Puerto Plata June 1. We was shot through the head while directing the landing of his men.

Whitman is one of the stronger Hughes leaders and it was to assist him in directing the movement for the supreme court Justices nomination that the New Britain man called.

GERMAN SURVIVORS SAY
 LOSSES WERE COLOSSAL
Sailors Rescued By Scandi- navian Ships Admit What
 Berlin Denies.

London, June 5, 9:1o a. m.-Ger- man sailors rescued by Scandinavian steamers described the Teutonic loss es in the Jutland battle as colossal, according to a Copenhagen despatch to the Telegraph Exchange Co. A large number of the crew of the crui- ser Weisbaden and men from several German torpedo boats have been res cued and brought to Copenhagen. They report that many of their com rades, after floating for thirty-six hours on rafts without food or water, drank the sea water, became insane and Jumped Into the ocean.
 The German survivors say that several of their torpedo boats and submarines were capsized by the British shells and sank instantly Bodies of both British and German sailors are beginning to be washed ashore on the coast of Jutland.
 Captains of steamers arriving in Scandinavian harbors report that the big German cruisers which were op- erating along the COurtland coast, near Riga, have been withdrawn and that large squadron of destroyers which had been patrolling the south ern Baltic was not sighted last Wek.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
 ROW GIVEN AN AIRING
Merchants Object to Taking People Away from City
 Saturday.

A meeting which promised to pro- duce some excitement in the ranks of the Chamber of Commerce was scheduled to be held this afternoon by the directors of the mercantile bureau in regard to the action of officials of the Chamber who were prime movers in securing the local delegation to participate in Hartford $ preparedness parade last Saturday. The temper of the local merchants who are connected with the bureau has been aroused. During the latter part of last week there was no ap- parent attempt on the part of these merchants to disguise their feelings.
 Discussing the situation with a Herald man this afternoon one of the prominent members of the bureau stated that if the local Chamber of Commerce had arrangements made for a local parade at a later date there was no doubt that the mer- chants would close their stores for the day or for two days if the affair called for 1t. He also pointed out that in the past the storekeepers have manifested much patriotic spirit and lie branded talk of selfishness which has been circulated as unjust
 From the same source comes the information that the project to take local citizens to Hartford last Satur- day was vigorously objected to by all the directors of the bureau with one exception, the latter having voted in favor of it.
 At the meeting this afternoon a petition protesting against similar action in the future was presented signed by the following merchants: w. w. Leland, s. M. Davidson, Sloan Brothers, B. c. Porter Sons, J. M. Halloran, Adkins Printing Co.,, Spring & Buckley Electric company, Porter & Dyson Co.,, J. s. Bennett and F. U. Thompson Co.

NO MORE VISITS FROM
 FAST GERMAN VESSELS
English Coast Considered Safe As Result of Jut-
 lanr Battle.

London. June 5, 2:56 a. m.-The outcome of the naval battle off Jut- land is described in the morning Tele- graph under the headline of "the greatest naval battle in history" as absolutely favorable to the British The Telegraph says: "Whatever hopes the Germans have entertained of in terfering with the allied control of the maritime communications of the world must be abandoned probably for the whole of this summer. The movement by sea of troops and their equipment will proceed with greater safety even than in the past. Thus this action will directly contribute to the strength of the allied armies everywhere.
 ''The conditions in the North sea have in particular been improved. There is almost complete assurance that there will be no flying visits to our coast from German battle cruis- CTS. The fast squadron of the Ger man fleet is in no condition to make even a hit-and-run excursion to this side of the North Sea.
 Although the British naval forces cannot relax their vigilant guard, the possibility of the enemy endeavoring to interfere with the blockade may be dismissed for the present. The pos sibility of tn invasion of England does not exist, temporarily at least.
 "In the Baltic also the Germans can be in no condition to undertake an offensive for some weeks Thus Wednesdays action has contributed to the further safety of the right wing of the Russian army rested on the Gulf of Riga
