C. (Spe. -ial ) . Ad vices received by i he State Department confirm the report of the department of President Morales from Santo Do mingo City, and the fact that it was the intention of the Dominican Cabinet, which now controls the situation, to in duct into the Presidential office General Caceres. the Vice Pre-ident. The dis patch received by the State Department said that President Morales was now about 15 miles west of. Santo Domingo City fighting the troops of the. Cabinet. The Dominican Minister to the United States, Mr. Jatibert, was an early caller at the State Department and conferred with Secretary of State Root on the affairs of Santo Domingo. Mr. Jati bert showed Secretary Root a cablegram received by him from Senor Tejera, the Dominican Minister for Foreign Affairs, stating that General Caceres was ex pected to arrive at Sant.i Domingo City and would immediately be proclaimed President of the little black republic. He stated that he had heard nothing in dicating that President Morales had been wounded. Mr. Jtutbcrt was inclined to doubt very much whether President Morales would attempt to organize an army for the purpose of fighting the troops of the new Government party, directed by the Cabinet, as he must himself realize the futility of any attempt of that kind. It was a!o the opinion of the Minister that the departure of Morales from Santo Domingo City and the consequent change in the executive branch of the Govern ment would not in any way affect the existing agreement between Santo Do mingo and the United States, which pro vides that Dominican customs revenues shall be collected by Americans appoint ed by the Dominican President for that purpose. The Cabinet of Santo Do mingo and General Caceres are com mitted to the existing arrangement and are not likely, i: is thought, to disturb it The outbreak will cau-c no change in the plans of the Xavy Department to reduce the naval force of the United States in the waters of Santo Domingo, ti,. ,u;.i . 1;. .:.;.. it,..

P. 0. SALARIES ARE TOO SMALL First Assistant Postmaster General's Report LOTS OF DEAD-LETTER OFFICE MAIL. Mr. Hitchcock Says' That tbe Inducements to Cltrkf hlpt In First nnd Second Clsss Postolllcet Are Not Sufficient to Secure Competent Men Many letters Contilnlnf Money. Washington, D. "C, (Special). In his annual report, just made public, First Assistant Postmaster General Hitchcock says that the low salaries paid clerks in first and second class postofliccs is de creasing the standard of efficiency. It is impossible, he says, to induce efficient men to enter this branch of the service when the salary to begin with is but $600 a year, with no certainty of promotion for perhaps several years, Mr. Hitchcock strongly recommends a discontinuance of installing postofliccs in public buildings devoted in part to other branches of the government service. The best type of quarters for postoflice purposes, he says, is a. single large room in a one-story building. The system of renting boxes in post offices is being completely revised and a new schedule of uniform rents is to re place the present intricate methods. Much embarrassment has been occas ioned the postal authorities to provide emergency mail facilities in mining towns, and Mr. Hitchcock recommends an emer gency appropriation of $75,000 to meet such requirements. A recommendataion is made for extending the use of cancel ling machines. There has been an increase of more than $18,000,000 in the amount of do mestic and of more than $5,000,000 in the amount of foreign money orders issued during the year over the one preceding. Of the 5.1.000,000 orders issued during the year, but one in 106,260 was found to have been paid or repaid incorrectly. A new money-order blank is to be intro duced in the service before the close of the fiscal vear which is calculated to prevent fraud in raisin-.' rlie amount of the original order. While the number of undelivered let ters which found their way to the dead letter office during the year was smaller than during the previous year, the num ber of undelivered letters with valuable inclosures greatly increased. General prosperity of the country is given as one reason; another is the suppression by the department of concerns using the mails for fraudulent purposes. Mail for such concerns, containing money, moicy or ders and commercial paper, was received at the dead letter office in unusual quanti ties. X'early 11,000.000 pieces of mail were received at the Dead Letter Office during the year, including 1.668 that failed of delivery in the Panama Canal Zone. Over 1,500 cases of alleged indecent and scurrilous matter received attenion. In the summer the influx of offensive pic torial post cards became so great as to call for a special order by the department looking to the abatement of the nuisance. As a result of this order many thousands of objectionable cards have been with drawn from the mails by the postmasters and forwarded to the department for de struction. TEA MADE INTO TABLETS. New Form Saves Space and May Be Used For Army. Washington, D. C. (Special) The lat est novel experiment to be made by the Department of Agriculture is that of compressing tea into tablets, one of which will make a delicious cup of tea. As a result, what would ordinarily make a big package of tea can by this method be placed in a space about the size of a safety-match box. The tea is grown at the department's experimental tea gar dens at Summerville, S. C. Each little box of compressed tea con tains jo tablets about the size of a penny, but about twice as thick. They are dark green. It has been the object of the depart ment for some time to find means of pro viding food for the army and navy which could be prepared in such a way as to save space, but so far all -attempts have proved unsatisfactory. 350,000 TO KILL MOSQUITOES. Jersey Nippers Too Big a Problem For Muni clpslllles. Xew Brunswick, X. J., (Special). Prof. John B. Smith, state entomologist, said that he would ask the legislature in January for an appropriation of $350, 000 to be used in exterminating the fam ous Jersey skeeter. The last legislature made an appropria tion of $10,000 to fight mosquitoes, but to get any state aid from this, fund muni cipalities had to appropriate some of their own funds as a guarantee of good faith. Newark and Elizabeth were the only cities to do so. Professor Smith now plans to make the work a state project, so that where local pride failed to start any movement here tofore the state will now make the at tack, and all breeding places will be drained and the state rid of the tradition a! pest.

Benjamin Lenhardt, a tailor who had hoped to become a famous musician, killed himself in his ballroom at 1 At torney Street, with illuminating gas. He came from Austria with his father, moth er and their two younger children it years ago. He was then It years old. In the evening nnd after school hours he added to the family income by sewing. Five years ago he went to a concert, where the playing of a violinist had a great effect on hint. One afternoon he purchased a cheap violin, and instead of sewing with the family in the evening, began to take mu sic lessons. Then he went home to practise. His father called him a fool and a "lazybones." He left the home, at 98 Willis Street, and rented the room in Attorney Street. At first he was unpopular, his practice annoying the neighbors. Then he became a favorite because he really could play. His violin was a very poor one, but through saving from his earnings he managed to buy a better one. He had been without work for three weeks, having lost his job because he would not work nights ; he could not bear to be separated from his violin. Shortly after noon he took his precious fiddle to a pawnbroker. With the mon ey realized he paid his landlady. Then he went to his room and played on his old violin, the one he called his "ugly duckling." He played "Nearer, My God, to Thee," turned on the gas after writing i note, then went to sleep. He was dead when found several hours later. j& j& After having been declared sane by ex perts employed by the District Attorney, Thomas Parmclee Wickes, the lawyer convicted of blackmail on account of the "Lewis Jarvis" letters written to Com modore Weston of Newark, was sen tenced to one year in the Penitentiary. In pronouncing sentence Justice Rogers said he was sincerely disappointed over the failure of the experts to reach such conclusions in regard to the defendant's mental condition as would serve as an excuse for his acts. J0 ; The front of the "open-shop" employ ment bureau, at 7 East Fourteenth Street, was blown to pieces by the explosion of a bomb thrown through the window from the street. Three men were in a rrfom behind the one into which the bomb was thrown. None of them was injured. They arc William Ward, a special po liceman and boss of the non-union men employed to break the strike started against Post & McCord by the Iron Workers' Union, and two assistants John Brennan and Palmer Hunt. The police are now inclined to believe that the explosion at the new Altman Building, at Thirty-fourth Street and Fifth Avenue, which killed three men may not have been accidental. The desire of Fred. Bitter, a special policeman of Xew Rochelle, to become a real sluth led to a lot of trouble at the Wykagye Golf Club. Bitter arranged a bogus burglar scare, which proved so realistic that he is now in the New Ro chelle Hospital with a bullet in his leg. The Xew Kochclle. police received a hurry call from the Club, stating that Policeman Bitter has been shot by burg lars. He told a thrilling tale, how he had found three masked burglars, all wearing silk hats, gathering up the plate. At night Bitter broke down and confessed that he had shot himself and invented the burglar story. J0 J0 Miss Lilv Weston, a musical specialist in vaudeville, is dead at her home in Brooklyn. Nine months ago she was op erated on for a tumor, which the phy sicians thought was caused by her play ing the slide trombone. The trouble next appeared in the stomach, and the woman practically starved to death. V 4? Mrs. Mark Ilanna, widow of Senator Ilanna, was held up for speeding in her automobile on Riverside Drive. Her chauffeur was arrested and held in $100 bail. Mrs. Hanna, it is said, furnished the $100 in cash on which the man was released. At the police station she gave Mary Phelps as her name. 4r sr tr According to W. R. Scott, a witness in the Orphans Court 111 Newark, Dr. George Schmitt, aged 95, who died in Asbury Park last June, waltzed around the parlor on the day he signed his will, a few weeks before he died, the tcrta tor left his $30,000 estate to his widow, to whom he had been married less than a month. A contest is based on the waltz incident, as tending to show irre sponsibility. & & It was love of fine clothes and envy of other women who dressed better than she that brought Kate Dolores Peters to a prison cell. This pretty young wom an, who was first a governess and then an actress at the lrvmg-Place theatre, and who was also known as "Elsie Brown," makes t'-is admission herself. It now appears that more charges than the theft of valuable jewels belonging to Mrs. J. Hood Wright are to be proved against her, and that other society wom en who have been the victims of rob beries will learn something about their missing things through her arrest. Mrs. Wright will not prosecute. IN THE FIELD 0? LABOR. San Francisco (Cala.) Labor Council will issue a union label calendar for iqo6. Boston (Mass.) central labor body is moving to place the engineers employed by the city on an eight-hour work-day basis.

It is probable that at the biennial con vention to be held at Meniplys next May steps will be taken to inaugurate a cam paign of legislation providing for better hours for engineers. A state convention of machinists' lodges which met at Boston, Mass., voted $400 to continue the organizing cam paign in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire.

SLAUGHTER BY ' MACHINE GINS Revolutionaries "Advance to the Mas sacre. IIl'RL BOMBS FROM THE WINDOWS. The Artillery Baiter the Houses lo Pieces and Mow Down Peoplt Like Chaff Leaders Annouoce That an Army of 30,000 la Con centrated Northeast of Moscow The Revo lutionaries Fight Stubbornly. St. Petersburg (By Cable). Direct telegraphic communication with Moscow was severed Sunday night, hut the gov ernment succeeded in restoring commun ications by a round-about route. Alt re ports agree that the fighting Sunday, which continued until midnight, assumed the nature of a butchery by tbe machine guns of tlie irtillcry, grape and canister being employed mercilessly against the ill-armed insurgents. Atrocious talcs are told of the Cos sacks who, plied with vodka until drunk, fired down the streets, sometimes charg ing with lances. The insurgents display ed great stubbornness in holding their barricades, ever, advancing in a mass to the slaughter. At the same time bombs were thrown from the windows of rouses near the barricades occupied by the revolutionists. The artillery was summoned ami bat tered the houses to pieces. The plan of the insurgents, it is stated, is to hold the outskirts and gradually inclose the troops in the center of the city. Leaders a,n aotmce that an army of 30,000 is concen trated at Orechoffsucff, northeast of Moscow, and will soon be ready to march to the city's assistance. The latest report is that both sides were exhausted at midnight, when firing practically ceased. 1 he streets were 111 absolute darkness, save for searchlights in the towers of bivouacs behind barri cades. London (By Cable ). There has been no direct news from Moscow since 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon, and it has been stated that the telegraph and tele phone lines between Moscow and M. Petersburg have stopped working, but the Daily Telegraph prints two dispatches from St. Petersburg, dated December 25, claiming to give recent details of the situation from Moscow, from tliesc dispatches it seems that fighting has been going on incessantly. One dispatch says the casualties up to early on the morning of December 25 were 5,000 killed and 14.000 wounded. ! Thc fighting proceeded throughout Monday. It was impossible to move j froni one part of the city to another be cause of the danger from stray bullets. 1 he masses of the population cow ered fear-stricken in the innermost re cesses of stables and cellars, trembling at every boom of the cannon nnd every explosion of bombs. Many people are suffering from hunger, and the lack ot provisions is becoming noticeable. The third day of civil war brought no decisive action, only a thickening of the blood cloud and intensifying of the hor rors. The troops, jaded and worn out, after eight or ten hours' dangerous work, loathe the sight of a crowd and fire upon them mechanically and irresistibly, while the anarchists, mindful of their comrades who have been mowed down like grass, arc furious against the sol diers, police and Cossacks, in fact, against every representative of authori ty, whatever his uniform may be. The driving force behind the rebels is hatred of any troops. There is no longer enthusiasm, loyalty, patriotism or any human impulse. It is superhuman hate and electrifying despair.

It is generally sup posed that he endeavored to gain the coast and embark on board a sloop, with the object of reaching Peurto Plata, on the north coast of Santo Domingo, and there join Governor Perez, who has been dismissed by the government from tht post of Governor of Puerto Plata, bill who refuses to surdrender his office.

MISS ALICE TO WED FEBRUARY 17. Reported Date ot Marriage Fixed; Hunt For Lost Trinket. Washington, D. C, (Special). Miss Alice Roosevelt, it is said, announced to a few personal friends, including one of her prospective bridesmaids, the date of her wedding, which has finally been fixed for Saturday, February 17. It will be a day ceremony. The hour is yet to be determined. Miss Roosevelt dashed into u jewelry store in search of a trinket which she had lost. Close behind came Representa tive Longworth, carrying a big stick, h.s own, and looking very mucn into th; average man out shopping with a girl.

When Miss Rooscve!' and Mr. Long worth burst into the store the counters were lined with people, and it was im possible for them to get the car of any one of the clerks. They stood aside for several minutes. Miss Roosevelt was verv nervous. "I just know I've left it at the other place," she said to Mr. Longworth. "Well, I'm sure it was here," Mr. Longworth said, in a comforting tone. "No, it wasn't." And Miss Alice al most stamped her foot. "Don't you remember vvc went there the first and' I must have left it there. I like their work so much and yes, 1 just simply know it was there." Mr. Longworth looked very much dis concerted, but jul about this tint j a clerk recognized Miss Roosevelt and came quickly over to serve her. "Oh, de?.r he 1 I'm so glad to hesr you say it's here. What have you done with it? May I take it now?" and Miss Roosevelt spoko almost with great re lief. The clerk assured her that he had already sent it to the White House. "Oh, I thank you so much !" And they left the store. Blue la New York. New York (Special).

Dun 4 Co.'s weekly review ol trade says: Although mild weather greatly facili tated Christmas trade and building oper ations, both of which surpassed all pre- . vious records, seasonable staples would move more freely if the temperature were lower. Yet there is littli complaint, dc- '., spite unsettled weather conditions, and in jobbing departments holidny quiet is ex pected at this time. Manufacturers' salesmen have returned from the road, which restricts the volume of new bus iness, but most plants, have orders on hand assuring activity well into the new year. Output for the next ten days will be reduced to some extent by stoppages for repairs, inventories, etc., after which there is a great confidence that many new records of production will , be es tablished. New business is limited in the iron and steel industry and contracts cannot be expected to come forward freely until after the holidays. The open season has facilitated outdoor 'work to such an ex tent that building operations will make an unprecedented exhibit for the month of December, which means large con sumption of structural steel. Failures this week numbered 226 in the L'niled States, against 251 last year, and 33 in Canada, compared with 32 a ye.n ago.
