The President of San Domingo Is
Forced To Surrender.
REVOLUTION ENDS IN SUCCESS
Rebel Forces Capture Towns
Resistlessly Sweep Every
thing Before Them.
a dispatch from Santo Domingo
.•ays President Figirero has resigned.
The ministers will continue at the
head of their various departments un
til a provisional government has been
formed, after which the elections for
president ard vice president will take
place.
The city is quiet but business is at a
standstill. The Dominican gunboat
Itestauraoion is ashore on the rocks
near Macori. Efforts at) being made
to get her off.
The United States cruiser New Or
leans and the French cruiser Cecille
are still iu port.
.Santiago, Moca, La Vega, Porto
Plata, Han Francisco de Marcoris and
Bam have declared in favor of the
revolution.
Santiago was taken after a strong
fight.
It is expected that the other places
will submit to the revolution without
any more fighting, principally owing
to the faot that the president has re
signed.
Since August 25th the correspond
ent of the Associated Press has visited
the camp of General Oarrido, nine
miles from Santo Domingo, it being
the chief sent of the revolution in the
district.
There he found 800 revolutionists
with Dr. Frias’s command of the in
fantry. With him was Senor Des
pradol from Puerto Plata. In thoir
following they had all the young men
of the city. General Garrido opened
negotiations with the government au
thorities ot Puerto Plata 1< oking to
its instant, surrender. The city sur
rendered August 2(ith.
The part of the revolutionary army
besieging the city of Santiago <le Los
Caballeros demanded its surrender.
It officials refused to consider propo
sals, and the revolutionists attacked
and captured the city.
Negotiations were opened for a sur
render of the fort. The terms were
declined and the revolutionary forces
attacked the fort duriug the night of
August 27th and the place was taken
by storm. After the capture of the
fort the officer who was in command
of the government troops eutertained
the victors. The casualties of the rev
olutionary army number one officer
and six men wounded.
Guarantees were given Cordero and
Villavirde, who are uow tranquilly re
posing at thoir residences.
On August 28th General Manuel
Cooco, government delegate, and Em
ilio Cordero, governor of the district
of Puerto Plata, who said they were
inspired by patriotic and humanitarian
ideas, turned the city over to the mu
nicipal council. The oouncil in turn
transferred it over to Generals Imbort
and Juan Gardido and the other offi
cers of the revolution.
The transfer took place in the pres
ence of the consular corps, prominent
citizens aud a large number of peoplo.
Popular demonstrations followed. The
revolutionary oliiefs were compliment
ed on their victory and their wish to
sustain the will of the people. The
revolutionary chiefs eulogized the au
thorities. Geuoral Carrido was ap
pointed commander-in-chief; General
Imbert governor general,Gen. Billune
uva town mayor. Other local officers
were named.
The former government officials
having approved of the programme of
the revolutionary party, will remain
at their posts.
Hunt Witnesses Test of Cannon.
Secretary of War Root went to
Handy Hook Thursday to pituess the
tests of cannon aud shells at the prov
ing gronuds there. The secretary was
accompanied by Major General Miles
and other military officers.

jcoJe Board of Health Official^
Announces Its Existence
At Key West.
The Florida state board of health,
through its local representative, Dr.
Sweating has officially declared the
existence of yellow fever at Key West.
Two persons were pronounced to be
suffering from the disease. They were
Dennis L. Eagan, an attache of the
custom house, and William M. Brow
der, special agent of the treasury de
partment.
Several other persons are down with
fever, which exhibits symptons simi
lar to those cases already pronounced
to be yellow fever. Considerable ex
citement exists throughout the city
among the unacclimated who are pre
paring for a hurried departure. Every
precaution is being taken by the, au
thorities to prevent the spread of the
disease.
HALSTEAD HUSTLED.
Noted Editor Lectured On *'Flif llpplne*”
end Pnuaed An Uproar.
Editor Murat Halstead lectured in
Cincinnati Thursday night by invita
tion before the Economic Club, which
meets in the Vine street Congrega
tional church.
The audience was miscellaneous, in
addition to the members of the club,
which is largely anti-imperialistic,
Mr. Halstead’s subject was the Phil
ippines.
After the lecture, according to the
rules of the club, Mr. Halstead was
plied with questions. One of the
questioners, after he had been answer
ed, remarked:
“I hope Otis will be kept in and
will keep on blundering till he and the
whole army aro driven into the sea or
captured.”
Mr. Halstead said:
"A man with those sentiments is a
traitor to his country.”
Several men jumped up and remark
ed: ‘‘Two-thirds of this audience
thinks that way."
Mr. Halstead replied:
“Whoever thinks that way is a
traitor.”
Then there was a rush down the hall
with raised fists toward Mr. Halstead,
but a great number of men stepped in
between Mr. Halstead and those who
were rushing at him.
There was a great noise and uproar
which disclosed the fact that the audi
ence was composed of men on both
sides of that question. Mr. Halstead
was quietly led out of the churoh by a
side door and taken home.
No blows were struck, but chairs
and seats were upset and there were
threats and great uproariousness.
WILL RESTORE WAGES.
Houlhorn'fi €’nt of Ten Her Cent Will Noon
Ho Annulled.
A Chattanooga dispatch says: The
Southern railway, during the dull
season of 1800, made a cut of 10 per
cent in wages of all employees on the
system, embracing trainmen, office
men and officials in all departments.
Some months ago the wages of shop
man were restored, while the engineers
also secured n slight increase. It is
learned that President. Spencer has
decided to reatore the 10 per cent cut
all around and that announcement to
this effect will be made about Septem
ber 10th.
LARGEST ORDER ON RECORD.
A Report That Col'll Rhodes Buys 800.-
000,000 Feet of Lumber.
A special from Kansas City says: An
order for 500,000,000 feet of southern
yellow pine, the largest single sale in
the history of the lumber trade, for
use in the construction of Cecil
Rhodes’s proposed Cape to Cairo road,
in Africa, is said to have been consum
mated.
According to The Kansas City Star
lumber dealers and railroad officials
interested understand that the nego
tiations are ended and that twenty
mills aloug several Texas and Louisiana
railroads are under contract to fill the
order.
Women Protest Against War.
A petition from the Netherlands
Woman’s Disarmament league has
been presented to Queen Victoria,
praying for her, in the name of woman
hood and motherhood, to avoid war
with the Boers, aud saying, ‘‘it would
cast a frightful blot upon your majes
ty's moat glorious reign."
DISASTROUS BOILER EXPLOSION.
Five Men Killed At Republic Iron Work*
In Pittsburg, Pa.
A boiler explosion at the Republic
Iron Works, at Pittsburg, Pa., shortly
before daylight Friday, killed five
men and seriously injured seven
others. A fire which broke out fol
lowing the explosion added to the
horror. The mill was partly wrecked
and the cut ire plant was closed down.
The explosion occurred just as the
night force was leaviug aud the day
force was going on duty, and there
were only a few men in the mill at the
time. If it had happeued a half hour
later, the list of dead aud injured
would have been appalling.

FOREIGN EVIDENCE IS DEMANDED.
Deposition* of Two Officer* Will Be of
Invaluable Help to Cap*
tain Dreyfus.
A special from Rennes, France,
says: M. Labori Tuesday afternoon
telegraphed personal appeals to Em
peror William and King Humbert to
grant permission to Colonel Sehwarz
koppen and Colonel Panizzardi, Ger
man and Italian military attaches in
Paris in 1894, to come to Rennes to
testify in the trial of Captain Dreyfus.
This was the news of the day and
the chief topic of conversation in the
cafes aud resorts of the journalists.
The appeals were couched in elo
quent terms, invoking the assistance
of their majesties in the name of
justice and humanity. They are quite
supplementary to the formal applica
tion that will be made by the govern
ment commissary, Major Carriere.
The demand of M. Labori that the
courtmartial should issue process,
subject to the approval of two sov
ereigns, came like a thunderbolt at
Tuesday’s session. The step is fraught
with momentous consequences, as it
affords Emperor William an oppor
tunity again to assume his favorite
role of arbiter of the destinies of the
world. No one would be surprised
if Schwarzkoppen, in the name of the
kaiser, makes a declaration that will
practically decide the result of the
trial.
Both Schwarzkoppen and Paniz
zardi must consult their respective
sovereigns before starting, but the
counsel for Dreyfus fully expect them
to arrive in Rennes, if they come at
all, in ample time to give their' testi
mony.
Colonel Jouaust told M. Demange
at the close of the session that if he
received official information that Colo
nel Schwarzkoppen aud Panizzardi
were coming to depose, he would be
prepared to adjourn the trial pending
their arrival. An adjournment of
forty-eight hours would probably give
them time to get in.
A remarkable circumstance and oue
that is significant of the relation be
tween the two eminent advocates who
are conducting the defense, is the faot
that M. Labori telegraphed the Ger
man emperor and the king of Italy on
his own initiative without consulting
the advising or wish of M. Demange.
Good For Captain Dreyfn*.
The appearance of Colonels Schwarz
koppen and Panizzardi would be the
most sensational as well as the most
important incident of the trial. Their
depositions would be a formal aud em
phatic declaration that they never had
any relations with the acoused, and
that they would make such a state
ment that the court must order au ac
quittal.
DARIEN RIOTERS SENTENCED.
Twenty-Two of Those Convicted ere
Given Term® or Fine*
Sentences were passed on twenty
two rioters at Darien, Ga., Tuesday,
six being fined one thousand dollars
each or twelve months on the chain
gang and sixteen being fined two hun
dred and fifty dollars each or twelve
mouths in the gang. Two others were
out ou bond aud were not present to
have sentences passed. It is presum
ed that they will not show up and it
is hardly probable that any of the
convicted ones will be able to pay
their flues.
The ring-leaders who got the thou
sand dollar sentences were Jonas
Green, James Wylly, Ben Dunham,
Charles McDonald, Joseph Kimmon,
Charles Turner. The others sentenc
ed were Moses Miller, Jr., Hugh
Thompson, Dave Petty, James Bailey,
Freeman Elverson, Sharper Gordon,
Henry Golden, James Ross, Kit Alex
ander, Dan Johnson, Horace Seabroe,
Levi Mitchell, Charles Baptist, Mar
shall Dorsey and two women, Maria
Currey aud Louisa Underwood.
The trial of the last batch of eight
rioters Tuesday, the conviction of four
and passing of sentences on the twen
ty-two were the main features of the
cougt proceedings.
MOREAU WAS At QUITTED.

The trial at Madrid of Captain Diaz
Moreau, who commanded the Spanish
cruiser Cristobal Colon at the battle of
Sautiago de Cuba,and General Paredo,
who was on board the Colon, on
charges arising from the destruction
of the Spanish fleet off Santiago on
July 3d of last year, was concluded
Tuesday, both the accused officers
being acquitted.
ROYAL DRAGOONS READY.
Famous English Regiment May Be Sent

in the Transvanl.
The regiment which figured at Wa

there are not enough t the
world that could be

would cost not less than 81 head,
which would make a thousand lj illion
dollars. The Federal government
would not vote a dollar to Begin the
experiment. More than all this, the
negro will not go. He will not even
go north to live with his friends, his
deliverers. A few hundred went to
Kansas some years ago, but they got
homesick and came back. I compared
with Cobe about it and he said:
‘‘Well, major, to my opinion we
won’t get rid of some of ’em. We
mout git up an excurshun train with a
few carloads of watermillions in front
and toll ’em along as fur as Ohio and
drap ’em, but I’m jubus about gittin’
’em to Afriky. ”
There used to be a colonization so
ciety that owned a good ship named
Elizabeth, and they carried all the
manumitted slaves to Liberia free of
charge. Old Major Waters, a wealthy
gentleman of Gwinnett county, gave
thirty-seven of his slaves their free
dom, and by his will made my father
his executor aud directed him to pro
vide good clothing for them and to
take them to Savannah and see them
put on board the Elizabeth and to pay
over to William, his faithful body ser
vant, 8100 in gold for each of the
thirty-seven slaves. This money was
to set them up in Africa. So my father
corresponded with the society, and the
good ship was sent to Savannah on
time and the negroes were put on
board. They wept and wailed when
they told father goodby, for they all
knew that he was their old master’s
friend.
About two years after that there was
a knock at father’s door one winter
night. When it was opened there
stood William and six others of the
negroes sent away. He reported all
the others dead and that he and these
six had secreted themselves in the
hold of the vessel by night and kept
hidden until they had been two days
at sea, for it was against the rules of
the society to allow any freedman to
return. They were brought to Phila
delphia, aud there got word to Howell
Cobb and Alex Stephens, in Washing
ton. Those men knew William and
bis master and sent him enough money
to pay their way home. They went
into service of their young master,
Tom Waters—not as slaves, but as
free men, and were happy at escaping
from Liberia. Here is Uncle Sam,
who works in my Garden and chops
my wood and goes after ice on Sun
day. Ha has four grown up children
who are sorter unmarried and they
have a lot of children. The old man
owns the humble Lome and is not go
ing to Africa or anywhere else, and
the children will not leave him. There
would be weeping and wailing worse
than a funeral.
But suppose they all went. Who is
going to pay them for their property?
The negroes pay taxes now on three
hundred millions of property, which
is chiefly real estate. They own prob
ably 200 homes in and around Carters
villo, and there would be no buyers.
If they were all deported, who would
take their places? Who would do our
cooking and washing? Who would
nurse our babies? Who would make
our fires when the cold winter morn
ings come? Who would pick our cot
ton? But the fact remains that there
are too many of them, and thev mul
tiply too last, and this generation are
indolent and need regulating by vig
orous laws. There is a baseball game
going on right now while I write, and
at least 200 vagabond negroes have
passed my house going to it. The
negro women are supporting them in
idleness. John Anderson says he
heard them singing at the den the
other day, and the chorus of the song
was:
“No use In a nigger working very bard
When his mammy is a cook in a white man’s
yard.”
But enough of this. We have all
read much from the vankees about the
negro and much from colored bishops
and educators, and they all sing the
same tune of stop the lynching*, but I
have never yet seen anything so fair,
so truthful, so aptly spoken as the ad
dress recently delivered at Bismark
Grove, in Kansas, by an Alabama ne
gro. He is the president of the Adell
college, at Normal. Ala., and his name
is W. H. Council. I copy from a pa
per published at Lawrence, Kas., a
portion of his address:
“Fardon me for any seeming harsh
ness, but Ido not fear southern op
pression half as much as I do the in
vasion of white northern labor, which
comes with its social prejudice, which

jjfey forget that the south was an
'ite-room in which their fathers ex
hanged the clout of the barbarian for
the dress of civilization—the blessed
ante-room in which four millions of
’miserable, ignorant savages were
'Changed into four millions of indus
dustrious beings—a great missionary
.tent in which four millions of fetich
worshippers were transformed to four
millions of Christian citizens of one
of the most powerful governments of
this age.
‘‘Let the south alone and look to
your own neglected opportunities and
correct your own wrongs.
‘‘l appeal to the white men of the
north to think more kindly of both
black men and white men of the
south. Every honest Negro heart is
loyal and true to the south. We all
deplore whatever is wrong there. In
'svery community the best black men
and white men are united for our
common good. The criminal class is
made up of the worst elements of both
races. We can no more check, in a
single generation, our criminal ten
dencies than you can put down the
mob spirit in your own section, which
manifests itself in strikes, boycotts
and riots—starving women and inno
cent children, paralyzing industry,
crippling commerce, filling the air
with the black smoke and red flames
of ruin, the cries of the dying, and
the wails of the friends of the murder
ed dead. Compared to these, our dis
orders are as gentle Florida breezes
to Kansas cyclones. We need and
want the sympathy of every section of
the country, but there is a kind and
unfriendly meddling which invariably
increases friction aud harms the ne
gro. We have strong men in the
south who are capable, and have the
righteous inclination to fairly adjust
all problems growing out of our new
relations. There is a class of north
ern w'hites who come south as a dis
turbing element. They are hypocrites,
singing one tune! to the negroes aud
another to the whites.
“There are many mistakes in our
own social life, which we as a race
must correct and which we alone can
correct. Our women and children are
left unprotected by fathers; mothers
and sisters are deserted by sons and
brothers and often leave home to in
crease the army of idlers and crimi
nals. The great majority of our boys
are not in school, do not attend church,
are growing up idle, vicious, insolent,
ignorant, or 'shun hard, honest toil
and look for soft jobs. The negro
woman, almost alone, is fighting one
of the grandest battles in the annals
of man, with the cook pot, the wash
board, sewing needles, ironing board,
scrub brush, she builds churches, sup
ports schools, educates her daughter,
often supporting an improvident hus
band or an unworthy son—tempted,
assailed on all sides, she maintains a
degree of virtue which would deserve
commendation in women with more
favorable environments.
“YVe are negroes and should be
true to our own nature in order to be
come strong and fair in the eyes of an
intelligent world. Let us be more
concerned about straightening the
kinks inside ‘of our heads and the
kinks on the outside will be all right.
“I honor the white man because he
honors himself. I honor him because
he does not go whiuing around, beg
ging other races for sympathy, but
ever since the old Teutonic tribes of
German foresters started cut for civil
ization, by their own efforts (bey have
dissipated rivers, raised valleys, level
ed mountains, dipped the great ocean
dry, and harnessed natural forces to
their appliances —they cut and carve
their own destiny—true to their racial
characteristics. They protect and de
fend their women, and throw their
powerful arms around their children
and make it possible for them to rise
iu this world. Let the negro do like
wise. He has it in his power to do so,
especially in the south. There he can
grow rich. There and here American
prejudice is but the voice of God tell
ing him to establish all kinds of busi
ness, put his own boys and girls iu
charge and grow rich. Hear this voice
and do not go about begging for admis
sion and accommodations where we are
told plainly we are not wanted. Ameri
can prejudice may yet do for us what
a lack of race pride fails to accomplish
—force the negro to patronize himself
and to grow rich in the goods of this
world.”
That negro’s head and heart are
both right. He is a brave man and
dares to speak the truth. I wonder
why the negro papers don’t copy that
address. It should be scattered broad
cast among their readers aud would
do good. But the Atlanta editors are
not on that line. They want sensa
tion and northern sympathy. They
are politicians. Politicians and preach
ers keep things hot. My friend Ham,
who has been to a chantanqua in
Missouri, says he heard a lecture
there from Bishop Fowler, on Abra
ham Lincolir, in which he took occa
sion to lampoon and scarify ns as is
usual up there, and among other
thiugs recharged that old lie that
Governor Brown had offered a reward
of 03,000 to have William Lloyd
risen kidnapped and brought •
gia. The bishop ought tt B||
new stock. Those .>y. f /'. '‘'VdflHHj
out. He knew it
repeated it. This is a lie tor which
there was no excuse and no founda
tion, but it is a good traveler and
preachers can send a lie as far as any
body.
If the devil, who is the father of
lies, has any preference for subjects,
I think he would choose a lying, slan
derous preacher before anybody. But
suppose that wasn’t a lie; what good
can possibly come of resurrecting it
now? Joe Brown is dead; Garrison is
dead, and maybe they have settled
their own affairs over there. I was
ruminating about the difference be
tween this white northern bishop and
the black man, President Council, who
made that kind,conciliatory address at
Bismarck, and that brought to mind
the persistent slanders of our southern
hero, Lieutenant Hobson, who was re
tired almost to oblivion because he was
a southern mail.
Not long ago the English govern
ment presented to a sailor the annual
medal for the greatest act of individual
heroism performed during the year.
He had saved two men at sea when no
other man would dare to attempt it,
and the inquiry was made in a north
ern paper as to who was entitled to
the medal in the United States. Why
Hobson, of course. No other act of
individual heroism will compare with
his, but yankee newspapers and re
porters were jealous of him, just like
they are of Schley, and they magnified
a few kisses into thousands aud made
sport of him.
The yellow journals and the white
ones are all alike for lies on our men.
Suppose the ladies did kiss him and
he submitted to it. They are the best
judges of heroism I know of. He was
sent away to Japan, and a letter from
Miss Benedict in the last Missionary
gives extracts from a speech he made
at Kobe to the Young Men’s Christian
Association, that were beautifully
patriotic and full of Christian spirit
and missionary zeal. Maybe Miss
Benedict kissed him. She did not
say, but he deserved all that he gets.
