Ill" I.lrc Prciim-nll) Attempted ome Ileiuitrknhle Plot AKnltmt Hit Dominican Republic. Ao IK--tnilH of the Crime Turliiilent Cu reer of the Murdered MntcKimui. New York, July 26. Private despatches received late this afternoon in this city from Santo Domingo, reported that. Gen. D Ullsses Heureaux, President of the Dominican Republic, had been assassi nated at Moca at 4:30 o'clock in the after noon. The despatches were without de tails, but the crime was undoubtedly in tplred by political motives. Alejandro Wos y Gil, who preceded Heu rcaus as President of the Republic, is its Consul General at New York and Charge d'Affalres. He heard the news this after noon, but had no particulars. He said to night that he did not believe the report of the assassination. "In fact," he said, "I feel sure that it is false. There have been a number of similar rumors within the past two years, but they have alwajs been con tradicted next day. The meagre details of the alleged murder also argues to me that the report is unfounded. I Am rosltlv e that I would have been notified either by the officials or my own country or by the United States Government at Washington If the President had been killed. I re ceived a cipher cable despatch from him on Monday. Now, the village of Moca is thrca days' journey by horse from the place from which the cable was sent. There are no railroads between the two places, and JL Lin positive that it would have been lmpol ble for the President to hat c gone to Moca and for the news of his murder there to hate reached a place from which the news could be cabled here in so short a time." Forinpr ConHi!riicic. Three conspiracies, having for their ob ject the death of President Heureaui, hae been discovered in Santo Domingo since 1S93. In ISM six of the ringleaders in a conspiracy against Hcurcaux were exe cuted. In June, 1S95, it was reported that his enemies had succeeded in killing him, but he had escaped and it was thought he had succeeded in downing all the oppo sition to him. He was elected to the Presidency in 1S5T, and the constitution of the Republic was changed so as to permit him to succeed himself. He was already in his second term in 1ES3 and the attempts upon his life have all been made since then. In spite of the conspiracies that had begun in his second term he was twice again re-elected and was in bis fourth term. While the prosperity under bis administration has been unusual for Santo Domingo, it has not been such as to mark a material advance In the Re public's general condition. The President's policy has been a progressive one, hut the nation has not gone forward with any de gree of rapidity in the way of civilization. Under Heureaux American and English capital has been welcomed and railroads have been begun and have been extended. The telegraphic facilities of the country, by which most of the chief towns are now connected, were furthered at his instance. The Caxtlllo Ilehelli In the spring of ISM! the President found himself called upon to deal with a conspir acy against his power in the province of San Pedro Maeori. General Ramon Cas tillo, his Minister of War, had shortly be fore asked for 1.000 ritles to put down an incipient rebellion in that province, and had gone there in command to restore or der, as he said. Instead he distributed the 1,000 rifles among the malcontents in the province, and placed himself at tnelr head. When news of this state of affairs reached the President he sent word to Gen. Jose Estay, Governor of San" Pedro Maeori, to shoot Cas tillo. The Governor's son tried to carry out the order, but his bullet missed General Castillo and killed his son. The Minister of War suspected the true condition of affairs, and so when a sum mons came to him to return to the cap ital he declined to obey it. President Heureaux was unable to put down Castillo's insurrection by force, so he intimated to Castillo that Estay had been the real author of the attempt on Cas tillo's life, and directed the War Minister to arrest Estay and bring him to the cap ital. This Castillo did. Estay was imme diately liberated and Castillo was put to death. Then to encourage obedience In future governors the President had Estay killed for not having carried out his in structions to kill Castillo in San Pedro Maeori. Other Plotx. In June, 1S9S, there was a good deal of discontent In Santo Domingo, owing partly to commercial and Industrial depressions When the operations ot the Spanish-American war caused more or less excitement in the West Indies, Juan Jlminez, a former New York merchant, who before had had political aspirations in Santo Domingo, led an attack upon Heureaux's power. He sail ed with an expedition from the Bahamas foi Cape Haltien and went thence to Monte Crlsto, a town of Santo Domingo, which be bad founded. Jlmlnez landed in an American ship, the Fanlta. General Garcia, who was in charge of affairs for him at Monte Cristo, was un. prepared for action, but the two conspira tors, together with Gen. Augustin Morales and eleven men. essayed to carry om their purpose and called upon the governor to surrender. The governor had twenty soldiers, who opened fire on the insurrec tionists, killing five of them. Jlmlnez es caped to bis ship. All the others except Garcia were captured and oil except Jim. Inez's secretary were En' after court martial. The sicretary had turned In former. Jlmlnez went to Great Inagua where ha was arrested. He was tried at Nassau and acquitted Since then he hak carried on a propaganda against the ad ministration of President Heureaux. In 1891 there was a carefully laid dyna mite plot to blow up Heureaux. Heureaux has been described as humane when not thwarted, but ferocious when provoked br attempts on his authority. He was diplo matic and could speak four languages He was colored. The Vice President of Santo Dcmlngo Is Wenceslao Figuereo. Hisses Heureaux was a great statesman, who would have been a prominent man In America If be bad been born in that stitloi of life. When be heard that a quadrl ccntennlal celebration of the discovery of America was to be held in Chicago In 1832, he offered to.send the bones of Co'umbus to the fair simply as a matter of international comlt He also wanted a personal honor arium ot two hundred thousand dol ars for the service. The exposition authorities desired the bones of Columbus, but they did not think they could stand the price. At the time bones were cheap, and the executive com- 1'rnnli LIhbe) JC Co., Lumber Jka'ers, 6th it. and f. T avc rnr. mittec learned that they could get other bones of Columbus, equally as ossified, at reduced rates The result was that Heu reaux did not get his two hundred thou sand dollars, and the onl) bones the Chi cago Exposition cot were those of masto dons, dinosaurs, ichth)osaurs, and other things with hard names which were here long before Christobai Co'on took Isa bella's watch and diamond ring around to bis shrewd but otherwise able uncle. ATFAIHS IN HAVANA. LnnUKti nnil I.iidlnM at OddM Oer ItefrlfttrfcK fur Property. Havana, July 26 Secretary of Justice Lanuza has protested to Governor-General Brooke against the order abolishing the three separate registries for property and establishing one in their stead. General Ludlow, Military Governor ot Havana i City, favored this plan and presented the order for General Brooke's signature Senor Lanuza objects on the ground that General Ludlow had no authority to in terfere in the matter, the registries being solely within the jurisdiction of the De partment of Justice. The Marquis de Apeztegula, a wealthy Cuban planter, who was president of the former Union Constitutional party, which supported Spanish rule, asked General Brooke today for permission to build reads and bridges and to make other public improvements In the vicinity of Termina de Rodas, province of Santa Clara, nherc he owns a large number ot plantations. General Brooke referred him to Senor Saenz Yanez, Secretary of Tublic Works, who gladly granted the desired permission. It is held that the fact that the marquis was compelled to come from Santa Clara to get permission to be allowed to spend his own money In making improvements on the highways adjacent to his property shows a bad condition of affairs. Advices from Pinar del Rio show a sat isfacton conuition of affairs in that prov ince. General Brooke Is in receipt of an official despatch from Governor Dolz stat ing that the reconstruction of the prov ince Is progressing rapid!. The Cuban soldiers are all at work, good order prevails, and the prospects of the tobacco crop are ex cellent, considering the condition of the Island, AH agricultural reports are favor able. Some ot them state that some crops have suffered from lack of rain, though it is now tbe-,rainy season. This is raid to be the dryest wet season in jears. Havana, so fare has had no more rain than often falls lntbc United States at the same time ot yesr. In an Interview published in "La Lucha" General Gomez savs that the J3 000.000 donated by the United States will not be sufficient to pay all the soldiers on the supplementary lists $75 each. He makes no suggestions as to what should be done in the matter. ENTEEPBISE OP THE BROWNS. The Ilnltlliinrrans Saw After the Peninsula Iload.

Hrcnrdcil nH a Step to Organize a CoitNpIrnc) AKitluKt the Itcpuhllc IIIm ltcmoinl il Scerc Illott to the Arinj V stern "Warning: to the 1111 ltnr to ltecp Auii) front Politic. Pari", July 2C The sensation caused by the removal of General de Negrier from the Council of War Increase as the im portance of the step is more fully recog nized. His distinguished career and great courage, combined with military skill, which was evidenced in the German, Alge rian, and Tonquin wars, signalized him for the highest positions in the army. He was the most likely successor of General Ja mont as generalissimo of theforces. The Government's decision now deprives him of the prospective command In war, and reduces him to the position of an ordinary retired general. It is a tremendous blow to the army, but it was struck for the purpose of warning the mili tary to shun politics, and was based on the view that his conduct amounted to organizing a milltar). conspiracy against the Republic Apart from the notes issued to his subordinate officers It seems that General do Negrier during his tours of inspection verbally impressed upon the commandants what be represented to be the intention of the Supreme Council of War. It was due to this action that his conduct became known to the Govern ment. He had been inspecting the garri son at Auxonne and after his departure Colonel Bertrand, the commander of the garrison, assembled his officers and ad dressed them as follows: "Gentlemen: I have a grave communi cation to make. Owing to the attacks upon the army the generals of the Council ot War have made up their minds since the Government tolerates every outrage to await the close of the Rcnnes trial. On the following day they will go in a body and demand that there be no more attacks on the army. If the Government continues to tolerate them the generals will act." The echo of Colonel Bertrand's remarks reached the War Office and he was prompt ly summoned to Paris to explain them. He declared that he spoke in accordance with General de Negricr's order. Indeed, it seems that he acted in good faith, re iving lmpliclty on General de Negrier, wno, it transpired, spoke without having con sulted his fellow members of the council as all the latter. It is stated, have since assured the Minister of War that they in no way authorized General de Negrier to speak in their behalf. The "Temps" deeply laments General de Negricr's disgrace. It sas, however, that the step In a way is Justified by theory, but is none the less painful, indeed, the mere necessary the more painful It Is It reveals a most dangerous general situa tion. The Nationalist newspapers are fur ious. The declare that the army has been "beheaded" and indulge In violent vitu perations against General de Calllfet. The Radical and Socialist organs congratulate the Minister of War on his firmness. An evening paper asserts that General Zur llnden, who was recently removed from th; Military Governorship of Paris, will also be removed from the Supreme Council of War. London, July 2G. Some of the English correspondents in TarU represent the sit uation created by General da Negrier's degradation as far graver than at an) mo ment s'nee tho Drc)fU3 agitation begin. Level-headed people who do not attempt to deny that the step was consistent, doubt Its wisdom. The) think It will be a su preme test of the Government's strength. It Is noteworthy that General de Negrier never even indirectly pla)ed a part In tho Dreyfus affair. He has always been ex tremely reserved on that subject. One of his friends declares that he once asked him what he thought ot the Dre)fus case. He replied: "I do not pay any attention to It It U purely a Judicial matter." It was the persistent attacks on the army in certain quarters that aroused his In dignation. He simply intended to encour age the officers who were much depressed b) these attacks.

General Weyler made a remarkable Epeech, which is Interpreted as being an exhortation to the populace to combine with the army against the Government. Alluding to the recent riotous demonstrations in Barce lona, the aim of which was to obtain iro vlnclal autonomy. General Weyler declared that revolution might accomplish the re generation of Spain. At any rate, revolu tion sometimes cleared the political atmos phere. Ho added that the country had been passing through a crisis ever since the death of Prime Minister Canovas del Castillo and that the crisis wa3 not yet ended. Continuing, he said: "I will do all I can to uphold military discipline, but the situation is very grave and a revolt will probably break out with the object of saving us in the same way we were saved by Marshal Serrano's revo lution. The Government must not forget that the present situation cannot continue and that it has never been so easy as now for troops and people to make common cause." Repl) ing to General Weyler, Senor Dato, Minister of the Interior, warmly rebuked him for hinting at a military rising. The army, the Minister said, was Intended for the service of the country and r0t to further private ambitions. He assured the country that anybody attempting to defy authority would be Inexorably dealt with. GOLD IN MEXICO Klch I'liida Reported In the .State ot tJilerrero.

He was the first white man to penetrate that section ot the Re public, and be had some exciting- ex periences with the Indians. He said; "I have just arrived with the first ship- -ment of gold ore from the new mines at Guerrero del Oro, near Outran. This ship ment consists of ten terns of se'e:teJ min eral, most of which shows free go'd. It will yield, I think, an Immense profit. The ore Is packed in sacks weighing from 1C0 to 150 pounds each Several free gold speci mens weighing 100 pounds each will give some Idea of the'size ot the vein.

Since T o'clock tonight there has been desultory rioting la various parts of the city in the street car strike. In defending himself from an attacking party at Euclid Avenue and An nadale Avenue a non-union conductor at 10 p. m. shot Frank Wright, a young man. through tho leg The soldiers patrolling; Broadway had trouble all the evening. Bis crowds gathered and tho soldiers charged them repeatedly. Five men who resisted arrest received bayonet wounds. In all forty-four arrests were made. The mer chants of Broadway have called a meetlug for tomorrow to protest against tho methods ot the soldiers. They say that tho military rule Is injuring their business. The bus lines are now thoroughly estab lished and although nearly all of the so called omnibuses are very primitive affairs, they are well patronized. This is largely Juo to the fact that half of tho receipts goes to the strikers. Mayor Farley, who. in hi? official capacity as mayor ot this city, has Incurred the ill-will of the law less element la connection with the street car strike, has at last decided that the many threats of a personal nature call for action on bis part and at his reque3t tho police department ha3 provided a guard which never leaves him night or Jay. Tonight the employes ot the Little Con solidated system met and discussed the proposition bf striking out of sympathy with, the employes of the Big Consolidated. After a long drawn out session the meet ing broke up without day and without tak ing definite action. The majority present were greatly opposed to striking. lfnnnn'n Ilond. Senator Hanna's railroad continues to profit by tho big street raUroad strike at the expense of the Big Consolidated Railway, and the Hanna lints cars are packed all day while the Big Consolidated cars get only a few chance passengers and nearly all are empty all of the time. Either saldlsrs or policemen ride on every Big Consolidated car, flour ishing their guns when the crowd3 gather around the cars. Today Is was learned authoritatively that the company has 200 Pinkerton men employed as conductors and motormen. They, as well as the other new employes of the company, are heav.Iy armed. The strike situation today does not differ materially from that of yesterday. Moro troops were on duty and the law and order agents seemed to be better organized. For the first time since the strike began tho military, mayor, sheriff, police, and street car company worked in harmony. k riot occurred this noon on the Brooklyn Brighton Bridge, when ISO employes ot the Borne- Steel Range Company attacked an outgoing Pearl Street car and Us non union crew. Shortly after 12 o'clock the workmen-assembled on the bridge The first car to put in an appearance was bound for South Brooklyn. When well started across tho bridge an obstruction was thrown over the rails thereby compelling the car to stop. No sooner had it come to a standstill than a shower otmlssnes fell upon it. The motorman was too busy dodging the mis siles to reverse his controller and run the car backward and this gave the rioters a chance to Jump upon the car and drag both him and the conductor off. So cruelly were the non-union men kicked and beaten that somebody telephoned for the- militia. The soldiers hurried to the scene of riot ing in double quick time, and as they ap peared the mcb scattered and fled do n the steep incline to the works. The militia men surrounded the works and clojed In. Offlters entered, but nobody seemed to know anything about the trouble, making It impossible to detect the guilty ones, consequently no arrests were made Mayor Farley gave out a statement to day in relation to his attitude toward tho union "I notice." he said, "that President Bry an and other of the agitators in their speeches to the strikers have been trying to place upon me the responsibility of tho present condition of affairs Now. I 'viah In my turn to give the strikers a bit ot ad vice. Any man that permits his loyalty to unionism to become dis'oyaltr to hlmselt and those dependent upon him is a fooll3i man and not possessed of proper courage. Any man who permits his loyalty to union Ism or any other hn to become disloyalt to the State and soilety forfeits the esfem of good citizens and becomes a dangerous person. A Conflict of utliorlty. South Brooklyn village is now to all In tents and purposes under military rule. This state of affairs was precipitated b) the action of the officials of the village in boarding the cars of the Big Consolidate l as they crossed the bridge Into the villaso and taking from motormen and conducto-s the pistols they are allowed to carry in tho city. Tho State board of arbitration today Is sued a statement on the strike situation. Tho mo't important thing therein Is tbj statement that the board will not subpoena both parties to appear before It in an ef fort to ascertain at whose door the pres ent strike can be placed Tha board prac tically admits it has not been able to bring th3 parlies together, and it lays the blame for the failure upon the street car company. A non-union motorman on an east-bound Wade Park car had an unpleasant experi ence this morning Upon nearing Loan Street a man ran out from behind a tree and put something on the rails. Charles Hofileld, the motorman, tugged hard at the brake, and stopped the car a few feet from the object, which proed to be dynamite. At Ansel Avenue a boy rep-ated the trick, but he was caught and turned over to the police. The lln)or'4 Pioclaniatlon.
