At the port of Porto Plata the Seminole was lield up by the San Domingo navy and not permitted to make a landing. The navy consists of four gosaline motorboats equipped with two-pounders and a@ battleship made of a yacht. The battleship fired @ shot across tho Seminole’s bows whon Capt. J. T. Carey of the liner refused to obey its signals to heave to, ‘The American crulser Washington | and the guriqmmt Petrel were in the harbor and an appeal was made to; them by Capt.

Dr. Nunez, a Spanish doctor, who has lived many years in San Do-| mingo, was one of the refugees brought up on the Seminole. Ho was very severe in criticism of the con- duct of American MMnister Sullivan, who, he says is furthering t in- terests of Provisional Pr@ident Vordos, “Pordos,” said the doctor, “was inade provisional president about a year ago. He took the office much against his will and declared that he would not hold it any longer than the general election, which was to be held in April of this year, When: called upon to issue a manifesto for a general election ho refused to do it, saying he was president and was going to continue 50. “About a willion dollars a month has been coming in in revenues and the people declare that the Govern- ment is not paying out anything.

Next day it would be officials of some other department. BOYS GRABBED AND MADE TO SERVE AS SOLDIERS. “Pordos has pressed even boys into Bis army. His men have been lining ep at the theatres and where there were any other public gatherings and} grabbing men and boys as they came out and making soldiers of them. Gov.

This was the start olution. “Pordos’a men have been firing into Porto Plata, killing innocent men, women and children, They have fired on the Red Cross and in one instance upon the wounded men of Pordos's own army. Women and children have been ruthlessly murdered in the out- skirts of the town. It ts the people who have at heart the best interests of their country who are in revolt. “American Minister Sullivan has taken od part of Pordos. He travels with a bodyguard of from twenty to twenty-five mon, “Saspirez is shy of ammunition and there was no way to return the fire of Pordos's navy until someone hit upon the scheme of making cannon balle out of barbed wire. They loaded these and nails and screws into their smal] cannon and tore into the Pordos fleet, but hadn't suc- ceeded in sinking any of the motor boats up to the time of our leaving. Pordos, it is generally believed, hopes to get out of the But he has with him two not let him go unle: him, It was reported Porto Plata they have told him that if they are captured his back will be lined up with theirs in the jadow of an adobe wall, as he got them into trouble. i Spink that in time this will happe: modern styles in dress? Aes Miss M could be done about it. “Is it not time that we should cease to countenance styles set for us by Parisian houses, regardless of the influence of such styles on our com- fort, taste or sense of decency? This question must be answered at our next convention in Chicago in June.” When IT showed this declaration to} Dr. Cecile L. Greil si beamed ap- provingly.

When I talked to her she wore a gown of some soft white woollen stuff, cut square at the neck and banging from the shoulders, There were only two seams in it, and the trimming consisted of bands of rich Oriental embroidery, framing the neck, bor- dering the elbow sleeves, and crossed in a deep girdle, as loosely adjusted as the gown itself. “The ir wai better time than the present for women to ge on a fashion strike,” declared Dr. Greil. “For a year or twe a certain latitude In the styles, a women would break away grad- ually from tyrannical dressing.
