5 LITTLE BOATS
ROUT 500 REBELS
Death to Yankees" Sign
Left on Deserted SantO
Domingo Fort.

Five small ships Of the United States
navy lying stripped for action in Santo
Domingo harbor so cooled the ardor or
native revolutionists who had seized
the city and terrorized the American
inhabitants that they vacated Fort
MORO in a body on the night Of May
10 and disappeared 500 strong into
the interior These details Of the re-
cent revolution were furnished by pas
sengers on the Clyde liner Algonquin
which arrived yesterday from West
Indian ports.
The Dolphin, Prairie, Castine, and
two destroyers were the ships sent to
see that Americans were not injured
after President Jimines Of the Domini-
can republic resigned and left the reins
Of precarious power 20 his secretary
of war, Desideres, chief OF the party
that happened to be leading a revolu-
ton al the time. The resulting turbu-
lence so terrified the American resi-
dents that they sent their women and
children for refuge 20 the Prairie.
Other foreign residents were taken
aboard the French cruiser Marseillalse.
When the Algonquin arrived on May
Q the trouble was at its height. She
WAS conveyed into port by the Dolphin
and transferred ner American pas
sengers TO the Prairie, sending native
travellers ashore i'm motor lifeboat.
On Thursday. the 18th, the pas
sengers said, Admiral Caperton issued a
circular ordering Desideres and his
party TO hoist the white flag on Fort
Moro by o'clock Sunday morning.
The appointed hour came and no flag
appeared. Investigation proved that
the rebel leader and all his men ha.!
fed the night before. They left this
sign painted on a wall in the fort:
Death to the Yankees-the people
who have come to steal our country.
Fight TO the last"
When the Algonquin sailed, on Sun
day, American marines expected "a
take charge Of the city the following
morning.
The only attack reported was on the
tender from the French cruiser.
One American woman, the wife OF
G. Johnson, associated with the Santo
Domingo works, stayed ashore during
the entire revolution. She is Chris

Washington, May 24.-The placing ~
Louis ID. Brandeis on the bench Of III.
Supreme Court Of the United States va,
made practically certain to-day when
the Senate Judiciary Committee 70.
ported his nomination fayorably. The
vote was 10 10 8. All the Democrat,
voted for confirmation and all the Re.
publicans against. Senator Cummin,
of Iowa, who voted against Brandels By
proxy was the only member absent.
Ever since Brandeis was nominated
on January IS, there has been a ma.
jority in the open Senate for him. The
only doubt Of his confirmation was
based on the fear that an unfayorsble
majority in the judiciary Committee
might prevent the Senate from voting
on the nomination.
It was predicted tonight that the
confirmation would take place prior 10
the meeting Of the Republican conyen.
