New York, Jan. 11.—A dispatch to
the Herald from Santo Domingo says:
I’resident J imines, who has been at
Mao«iris since Saturday superintending
the raising of the popular subscription
to pay the French claim, returned this
afternoon with 300,009 francs. The
claims amount to 280,000 francs. As
the popular subscription is larger than
the claim, the Dominicans are rejoic­
ing.
The return of the president under
such auspicious circumstances was
marked by patriotic enthusiasm and a
general flag display. Thu French
cruiser Cecile saluted the gunlsiat on
which I’resident Jlmincs returned.
The guulmat answereti the salute. No
steps have Iteen taken by the French
consul further than entrusting the case
to Admiral Richard. No disorders
have occurred, but the (stpular senti­
ment is against a|<ologizlng to France.
The people are urging the government
to prepare a system of defense, as the
overthrew of the government would be
menaced at the first evidence of weak­
ness.
In raising the popular subscription
many ladies offered their jewelry. One

their failure to subscrilie. The arrival
of the French cruiser Cecile created
considerable excitement. She reached
Santo Domingo yesterday afternoon,
but did not salute as she entered the
heritor. The situation here is tntuquil,
and the government has urged the peo­
ple to show no hostility to France. It
is reported that France will send two

Hampton, la., Jan. 11.— Dr. G. W.
Appleby, for several years the leading
physician at Bristow, Butler county,
last evening, in a tit of insanity, kille<l
a 10-months-old child of Henry Wear-
ly, of this place, while making an ex­
amination of it in another physician’s
office.
The doctor took the child in his arms
and handled it so roughly that the par­
ents protested, but to no avail. He
suddeuly put bis thumbs under its
chin, and with his fingers on top of its
head, crushed its face in so that the
blood gushed ont of its nose and mouth.
Then he seized the child by one foot
and began swinging it around his head,
resisting all efforts of the terrified par­
ents t« stop him, and it was not until
help was gotten that the child was
taken from him. It was quite dead.
The insane commission was con­
vened, and at midnight Dr. Appleby
was on his way to t ie hospital for the
insane at Independence. Three or four
hours after the occurrence he seemed
comparatively rational, and said he
knew what he was doing when he
killed the child, but could not help it.
The cause of the insanity is supposed
to be religious excitement.

Washington, Jan. 11.—The house
committee on commerce gave a hearing
today to Messrs. Hchrymser and Bay-
lies, president and vice-president of the
Pacific Cable Company, ot New York,
relative to the laying of a trans-Pacific
cable. Mr. Bay lies contended that the
cable should be maintained under pri­
vate ownership. The plan of his cable,
as outlined, was for a line to Honolulu,
Midway islands, Guam and Luzon,
with a branch line from Gnam to Ja­
pan, a total of 8,285 miles. Admiral
John Irwin (retired) and Francis B.
Thurber, president of the American
Export Association, spoke in favor of
private ownership of cable rentes. The
committee fixed January 23 for a hear­
ing of government officers relative to
the cable.

Washington, Jan. 11.—“ That man
little knows the common people of tht»
republic, little understands the in­
stincts of our race who thinks we will
not hold it forever, administering Just
government by the simplest methods.”
This sentence was the keynote of «
speech delivered in the senate today by
Beveridge, the Jnnior senator from In­
diana. It was the maiden spetwh in
the senate of about the youngest mem­
ber of the body. The announcement
that he would deliver an address em-
tsidyiug his observations in the Philip­
pines attracted an unusually large
nutnlier of auditors to the galleries.
On the floor of the senate every aenator
in the city was in his seat and scores of
representatives came over from the
bouse.
The occasion was inspiring, and
Beveridge rose to it brilliantly. Ilia
oration—for properly It was an oration
—waa deeply interesting. It was re­
plete with striking sentences and well-
arranged information. Spoken with all
the earnestness, vigor and eloquence
of a fine orator, enthusiastic In his sub­
ject, who rose at times to his subject
with the powdr of iiassionate dramatic
utterance, the speech created a pro­
found impression u,sm all who heard
it.
Beveridge is scholarly Hnd refined in
appearance, with a striking face and
figure. Throughout his speech he was
easy and natural, and entirely free
from mannerisms. He s|sike rapidly
and with great earnestness. When he
declared, with deep solemnity, to those
“ whose voices in America have cheered
those misguided natives on to shoot our
soldiers down, that the bhs>d ot these
dead and wounded boys of ours is on
their hands, and the Hood of years can
never wash that stain aw ay,” there
was a deep, although suppressed sensa­
tion among his auditors.
At the conclusion of the sjiee.-h, tre­
mendous and unrestrained applause
swept over the galleries, and it whs
notable that Secretary of the Treasury
Gag«;, who occupied a seat in the sena­
tor’s gallery, was a jiartieipant in it.

Hoar (Rep. Mass.) replied briefly to
Beveridge. Although he did not enter
fully into the merits of the question
under discussion, be did not feel that
some of the Indiana senator’s state­
ments ought to go to the country un-
challenged. He declared that not the
American op(>osition to the war, but
the president’s proclamation to the Fil­
ipinos, was responsible for the hostili­
ties. He ridiculed Beveridge’s state­
ment that the Filipinos were not capa­
ble of self-government, and quoted
General Otis’ re|>ort to show that they
were.
There was no session of the house
today.
