United States navy, the man who straighten-
ened out the Haytian imbroglio. arrived here
to-day on board the transport "Prairie" While
no official announcement was given out of
his reasons for coming to this capital it is
generally understood that his trip to Sauto
Domingo is in connection with the crisis IN
the Government of President Juan lsidro
Jimenez and his probable overthrow. Jimenez
was impeached by the Chamber of Deputies
yesterday. The Dominican Senate to day
ratified the proceedings of the Lower House.
The President is charged by both Houses
with a violation of the constitution in connec-
ton with the Budget. Nothing less than
the American protectorate and the presence
here of Rear-Admiral Cnperton prevented a
revolution. Opposition to the Jimenez Gov
eminent has been steadilygrowing for months.
To-day the Congress and practically every
political leader Of Importance in the country
is lined up against him. The impeach-
ment proceedings of the Senate and the
Chamber of Deputies mean that President
Jimenez will be tried, and, if convicted, de-
posed. According to the terms of the
constitution his trial must begin with
in folty-eight hours. His trial will be be-
fore the Senate which will render the ver-
diet.
London, May 5th-At a G general meeting
of the West India Committee held yester-
day, the President stated that the member
ship was one thousand i've hundred and forty
three, and the surplus of assets over liabili-
ties, three thousand and seventy three
pounds, He referred to the splendid part
the West Indies were playing in the war.
TIL Hon. A. G. Bell, Director of Public
Works, Trinidad, referred to the develop
ment of the Trinidad oilfelds, which, he said,
would prove OF great importance to the EN-
pre-, and be suggested that an oil expert be
added to the Executive. A resolution was
passed in favour of preferential trade with
the Empire after the war.

Paris, May 6th.-The French evacuated
part of their trenches on The northern slope
of Hill 3O4 on the Verduu front west of the
Meuse, as the result of an unusually violent
bombardment by heavy German guns. The
War Office statement of this says, however,
all efforts of the Germans to advance were
checked by French guns, and that Il fresh
division of troops which the Germans brought
into action, sustained great losses. Attacks
north and northwest of Hill 304 were re-
pulsed at the point Of the bayonet.
Washington, May 6th.-Unless the Ger
man Note contains essential differences from
the unofficial version, it is considered pro-
bable that the threatened break IN dlplO-
matte relations with Germany will not occur
temporarily at least. Administration officials
suited that Germany doubtless would be
given a chance to demonstrate her assur-
rnces that submarine commanders have been
notified not to sink merchant vessels without
warning. The editorial comment of news.
papers throughout the country agrees gen
orally that the German reply is a compromise
that will avert a break temporarily. Doubt
is expressed that the question of submarine
warfare is settled. Some editors take the
stand that while the rupture of relations has
been postponed, it is inevitable.
Christiania, May 6th.-Norway formally
notified the British and French Govern
ments to-day that she cannot admit the
correctness of their Interpretation Of the
Hague Convention regarding the seizure OF
neutral mails at sea. The Norwegian Gov
eminent has lodged a formal complaint at
London and Paris stating that the action
of the Allied Governments in Selling Nor
wegian mails is against the interest OF neu-
trial nations.

players from this aggregation At

ATTORNEY GENERAL CLANCY
EXPLAINS SUCCESSION LAW
Holds that in Event DE Baca Fails
to Qualify, Mcdonald VIII Re-
main as Governor.

Santa Fe., Dec. 20.--AttOrney Cen
eral Clancy yesterday made the fol-
lowing statement concerning what
would happen in case of the fail
ure of Governor-elect de Baca to
qualify within the time provided by
law;
Il have been told that someone has
recently advanced the proposition
chat if the govcrnor-elect should
fail to qualify on the first of Janu-
ary, the effect would be to create a
vacancy in the Office of governor so
that the lieutenant governor-elect
would succeed to the Office and to
its powers under Section 7 of Article
v of the Constitution, and am ask
ed to express some opinion as to the
law.
The proposition is utterly pre-
posterous. or course, it is based on
~ upon the suppositon that the
governor-clect does not qualify, but
anyone who knows him will be GER
tain that he will be ON hand on the
FIRST Of Januaryto qualify as COVER

His failure % qualify, however,
would not create any vacancy in
the Office of governor. His term of
office begins on the first day of jan
nary next, but by Section Of Ar
ticle Xxx of the Constitution, it is
provided that Essry Officer. unless
removed, shall hold his office un-
til his successor, has duly qualified
Until the goyernor-elec does quail
ify, Governor Mcdonald will remain
in Office under thisa provision No
authority can be found to support
any different position. The law is
we'll stated in an Indiana case which
is reported in 30 American State
reports, as will be seen by the fol-
lowing quotation from page PIP;
The weight of authority is, that
where there eXistes a constitutional
provision such as we are now con-
sidefing, a term of Office fixed by
statute runs not only for its termin-
alton and the date at which a sue
