THAT SOUTH AMERICAN
ALLIANCE IS DOUBTED
The Presidents of Argentina and Uraguay, Who Are Said to Be
Planning to Unite Their States With Chili and Brazil in an
Alliance Against the United States as an Offset to the Im
perialistic Policy of the Latter.
WASHINGTON*. Aug. 4.— There is no anxiety among officials at the State Department over the report that
South American republics may form an alliance against the United States. The rumors are said to be of
English. Italian and Spanish origin and inspired by traders of those countries for the purpose of influ
encing trade. The wish is father to the thought, but the State Department has the best of assurances
«f South American friendship and has no fear of an alliance against this country.
It Is true that f. -r Borne years there has been an unfriendly feeling inChile and Argentine, which is easily
explained and quite natural. President Harrison had to give < "hile a lesson in manners, and Argentine is controlled
by British and Italians, who think they are our rivals. But the feeling in these countries is growing better, and it
has no Influence upon other South American republics. An official of the State Department whose business it is
to keep posted on Smith American affairs and conditions said to-day concerning tho reported alliance:
•You can rely upon it there Is nothing serious in it. It is an old rumor revived* We had it when President
Cleveland Bent the Venezuela message to Congress. "We had it again when the protocol was signed for the suspen
sion of hostilities with Spain, and now we have it because of some fancied supposition that we intend to get hold
of .Fan Domingo. It is the British, Italians, Spanish and Germans in South America who are raising the cry for
commercial purposes. I have read all the South American papers closely and cannot find that such sentiments by
South Americans have really any existence among them. I see President Roca of Argentine intends to visit Brazil
and presumably will solicit Brazil to enter the alliance which he is- projecting. It is inconceivable that Brazil should
give any heed to such a movement. Brazil has always been on terms of greatest friendship with us, and for good
MANCHESTER. Mass., Aug. 4. — Senor Aspiroz. Mexican Embassador to the United States, who is spending
the summer here 'was much interested in the dispatches which reported the departure of President Roca of
the \rgentine Republic with the Minister of Foreign Affairs and thirty Senators from Buenos Ayres for Brazil.
Senor Aspiroz said he had not learned of such a movement. He gave it as his. opinion there could be no founda
tion in fact for the report that an alliance was contemplated between the South American republics against the
United States and to bear him out in his opinion referred to the movement started by Brazil, with a contribution
of $250 000 for' the purpose of establishing a steamer line between that country and the United States, Nicaragua
and "Honduras, he asserted, intended to contract an alliance between themselves, but the Embassador holds that
to be insignificant.

HIMSELF PRESIDENT
Jiminez Says He Is All Ready for the
Invasion of San Domingo,
Expects That After Landing on the Island With
a Party of Weil-Armed Americans the
People Will Flock to His Standard.
Special Cable to The Call and New York Herald. Copyrighted, 1899, by
James Gordon Bennett.
HAVANA, Aug. 4.— ln an interview
,v Jiminez stated that two of the
men who were connected with the as
sassination of President Heureaux of
San Domingo were confidential agents
of his. They were also in the good
s of Heureaux, who had deputed
them to assassinate Jiminez. They
Informed Jiminez's friends of the plot
and a counterplot was successfully or
ganized by them for the assassination
of Heureaux.
Jiminez displayed a cipher cablegram
which he received from an agent in
San Domingo this morning which reads
a<= follows:
"Revolution commences to-day in
Da.iabon. Send definite answer when
you will arrive. Must be as early as
possible. FRANCO."
Jiminez has replied: "Be there by
last of monjh with party. Delay so
as to avoid bloodshed. Think present
Government will retire before then."
Jiminez declared that he has 30,000
stands of arms in Cuba ready to be
used, and part of the filibusters in the
United States are prepared to sail at
once.
Wh^n asked if he did not think the
T'nited States would stop his expedi
tion, he smiled and said: "Has the
T'nited States enough vessels to guard
the entire coast of Cuba and the Isle
of Pines that can be spared? Never
fear; we will have no trouble in sail
ing, and we will sail soon."
Jiminez is said to be backed by Go
mez and other prominent Cuban army
officers, i. -. plan is to land a party of
Americans on the coast with a Quantity
of arms and ammunition, and then
proclaim himself President. He ex
pects that the people will flock to his
standard.
WARSHIPS TO WATCH
FOR THE FILIBUSTERS
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. — Affairs
continue quiot in San Domingo, ac
cording to all official advices receiver!
here. A dispatch to the Navy Depart-
SAN FRANCISCO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1899.
I ment announced the arrival of the
New Orleans at San Pomlngo. Her
•< ommanding officer found no change in
; the situation. The New < >neans will
\ remain at San Domingo City, while
j the Machias will make a tour of the
! island, putting in at principal ports.
The policy will be to keep warships
in the waters of San Dom'.ngo and
Hayti for some time to come, though
it is probable that a smaller vessel
than the New Orleans or Machias will
be assigned to this duty.
The authorities place little credence
in the boasts of Jiminez that he is
coming to the United States to fit out
an expedition against the Government
of San Domingo. If he really contem
plated anything of the sort, they as
sume that he would not let the public
know of his intentions..
As a precautionary measure, how
ever, the authorities in Cuba have been
directed to keep watch on his move
ments, and naval vessels in Do
minican waters will be on the lookout
for any filibustering expeditions.

Sensational Theory of M.
Del Casse's Mission to

WANTS tTaBDICATE
It Is Said That Nicholas Has De
cided to Retire on the Occa
sion of His Visit to
Darmstadt.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
r^T. PETERSBURG, Aug. 4.
M. del Casse, French Minis
ter of Foreign Ait airs, ar
rived heir to-day from Paris to re
turn the recent visit of Count Mu
ravieff, Russian Minister of For
eign Affairs. This afternoon he
was received by Count Muravieff,
with whom he will dine to-morrow.
Count Louis dc Mountbclle,
French Flmbassador to Russia, will
return the honor Sunday. M. del
Cassc will remain in St. Peters
burg.
LONDON, Aug. 5.—M. de Blo
witz, the Paris correspondent of the
Times, gives an extraordinary cx
\ planation of M. del Casse's present
mission. He asserts that it was de
cided upon quite suddenly "for a
reason which admitted of no de
lay," and then gives the story,
which says he lias it from "a source
■ to which 1 am bound to attach im
' portancc."
This is the explanation: "Em
peror Nicholas is disappointed and
tired of the thro.ne. The absence of
an heir excites his superstitious
feeling and he connects himself
7K-itli a Russian legend, according to
which an heirless Czar is to be suc
ceeded by a Czar Michael, predes
tined to occupy Constantinople. The
death of the Czarozvich and the
failure of the conference at The
Hague led him to decide to abdicate
on the occasion of his coming visit
to Darmstadt. On this becoming
kno7vn in Paris M. del Casse was
sent in hot haste to dissuade him
from carrying out this intention."
DRYBROUGH, THE
POLO-PLAYER, KILLED
LONDON. Aug. 4.— J. W. Drybrough,
one of the b '. polo players in England,
died this morning as the result of an ac
cident yesterday during a polo tourna
ment at Rugby. He had been playing in

Mr. Mackey was unhurt, but Drybrough's
skull was fractured and he expired to
day without having recovered conscious
ness.
Mr. Mackry is a native of Wisconsin.
He was formerly a member of the Chi
cago Board of Trade and has been living
near Leamington for a number of years.
He is well known in hunting and polo

ROOT FAVORS SENDING
OUT A LARGER FORCE
New War Secretary Believes More Troops
Are Needed in the Philippines.
When the Campaign Is Resumed in the Fall Gen
eral Lawton Will Have Charge of the
Active Military Operations.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
CALL HEADQUARTERS, WEL
LINGTON HOTEL, WASHINGTON,
Aug. 4.— Secretary Root's short expe
rience in the War Department has al
ready convinced him that the views of
military commanders, subordinate to
General Otis, who favor a larger mili
tary force than recommended by that
officer, are worthy of serious considera
tion. There are reasons to believe he
will recommend that the force be fur
ther augmented.
Secretary Root and General Corbin
will visit Lake Champlain on August
12 to remain several days, and the
whole Philippine situation will be thor
oughly discussed with the President.
I understand the plan of operations
for the fall campaign contemplates the
division of the islands into several mil
itary departments, and General Law
ton will have command of the one in
which cavalry troops will operate.
It is probable that General Wheeler
will be given" command of a brigade of
cavalry in General Lawton's depart
ment. The boundary line of Lawton's
department will embrace the territory
in which there will probably be the
heaviest fighting, so that Lawton will
be in direct charge of the most impor
tant forces in the field, and in this way
General Otis, while not being officially
"turned down." will be relieved of
much responsibility in connection with
the conduct of the war, and will be
left free to perform the duty of mili
tary Governor. '
Secretary Root is in accord with the
programme for increasing the force in
the Philippines, and with the general
plan outlined by General Otis for the
fall campaign, which has been ap
proved by the President. The Secretary
has seen many communications favor
ing a larger force, however, and if
there is not a decided improvement in
I the situation it is understood he will
advocate the sending of several addi
tional regiments in time for the au
tumn operations.
Secretary Root favors an effective
fighting force of about fifty thousand
in the Philippines. With the provis
ional nrmy of fifteen thousand already
organizing, thirty thousand regulars
already in the island, three volunteer
regiments organizing there, and non
combatants of the Signal and Hospital
Corps, a total of about 50,000 has al
ready been provided for, but the Sec
retary would like to see this number
still further increased by several regi
PLANS FOR RECEPTION
OF DEWEY AT NEW YORK
Imposing Structure in Madison Square, New York, Under Which
Will Pass the Great Land Parade in Honor of the Hero of
Manila Bay. This Triumphal Arch Will Be Erected at
Fifth Avenue and Twenty-fourth Street.
NETV YORK, Aufc. 4. — The Dewey reception commission has received a telegram from Adjutant Henry of
Mississippi, asking if the number of troops from outside States invited to take part in the parade is limited.
Secretary Foster replied that the committee would entertain all the soldiers that came. Requests from pa
triotic societies asking for places in the land parade have been received and accepted.
Admiral Dewey, with President McKinley, Governor Roosevelt, Mayor Van Wyck and the officials and
guests who will take part in the celebration of the admiral's return, will review the land parade in his honor at
Fifth avenue and Twenty-fourth street, where a triumphal arch will be erected for the occasion. Plans for this
arch have been made and accepted, and between twenty and thirty sculptors of the National Sculpture Society
have volunteered to devote their entire time to its completion. Triumphal columns on either side of Fifth avenue
from Twenty-third street to Twenty-fifth will flank the arch and form an imposing approach. The structure fol
lows in general style the famous arch of Titus. The great piers en each side of its central opening will carry
masses of sculptural adornment. Each pier will allegorically symbolize one phase of the war. One will
typify patriotism or the call to arms, another war with vessels and troops in action, the home-coming of the vic
tors will be represented in the third, and the fourth will show the volunteers returning to their peaceful pursuits.
Above these groups and serving as finials for the four columns will be portrait figures of admirals and naval offi
cers famous in American history.
MESSINA, Aug. 4.— An American warship, presumably the Olympia, passed north to-.day.
PARIS, Aug. 5.— A dispatch to the Libre Parole from St. Pierre-et-Miquelon says Governor Dachin Sibour has
been recalled. The reason is not given. The same paper says that the Austrian Government asked Admiral Dewey
to explain the statement said to have been made by him that the next war of the United States would be with
Germany and that the United States would be supported by England. To this request, Libre Parole says, Ad
miral Dewey replied that he would deny nothing. He thereupon advanced the date of his departure from Trieste
ments of regulars. There seems to be
no intention to call for any more vol
unteers.
General Lawton, It is understood, is
anxious for more cavalry troops, and
this request will probably be complied
with.
General Otis is already organizing
one additional regiment to be known as
the Eleventh Cavalry. The Fourth
Cavalry is now in the Philippines and
eight troops of the Third are under
orders to go. The Sixth Cavalry at
Fort Riley will doubtless be among any
additional regiments ordered to rein
force General Otis.
FILIPINO JUNTA
ESTABLISHED IN MANILA
NEW YORK, Aug. 4.— A World
cable from Hongkong says Aguinaldo
has an advisory council right in Ma
nila. Hongkong 1 having been made too
hot for the Filipino junta, through the
efforts of United States Consul General
Wildman, the rebels decided to attempt
to establish their headquarters in Ma
nila. They were encouraged to try this
daring experiment by the fact that un
der a recent decree of Governor Gen
eral Otis the Philippine courts are now
conducted by natives.
So Crisanto Lichancho, the treasurer
of the junta, went boldly to Manila and
professed friendship for General Otis.
The scheme worked so well that the
delighted junta has celebrated its vic
tory with a grand ball.
The British residents are disgusted
at the weakness of the American au
thorities at Manila and at the unhappy
result of Consul General Wildman's
long fight here against the rebels.

The cable of yesterday caused con
