PUT IN CHARGE.
United States to Manage Finances of
Santo Domingo Government.
Santo Domingo, Republic of Santo
Domingo, Jan. 25. A protocol between
the Dominican government and the
American minister, Mr. Dawson, and
Commander A. C. Dillingham, U S.,
N., in behalf of the American govern
ment, was signed yesterday. The prin
cipal conditions are that the American
government guarantees the complete
integrity of the Dominican territory,
agrees to undertake the adjustment of
all obligations of the Dominican gov
ernment, foreign and domestic, and
the conditions of payments; to adjust
unreasonable claims and to determine
the validity and amount of pending
claims. In the case of the appointment
of one or more commissions to reach
an adjustment the Dominican govern
ment shall be represented ' in order to
protect its responsibility.
The American government will take
charge of the existing customs houses
and those hereafter to be created, and
will name the employes necessary to
their management, the duties they will
exercise and their rights. These will
be considered Dominicans and subject
to the laws of the republic. The Do
minican government will have at each
custom house inspectors in behalf of its
interests, and from and after the date
the contract takes effect. The present
employes are to be considered as acting
under its provisions.
Out of the revenues collected at the
custom house of the republic, the
American government . will deliver to
the Dominicans 45 per cent of the total
gross amount for the purpose of attend
ing to the necessities of the budget.
Out of the 55 per cent, the American
government will pay the employes of
the custom house, and the interest on
the. amortization of the foreign and do
mestic debts. The whole surplus may
remain and each fiscal year will be de
livered to the Dominican government
and devoted to the payment of its debts
OPPOSED BY MONDELL.
He Will Prevent Passage of Klamath
Irrigation Bill if Possible.
Washington, Jan. 25. An effort will
be made, when the opportunity presents
itself, to secure passage through the
house of a bill recently passed by the
senate permitting the secretary of the
interior to utilize Lower Klamath, Tule
and Goose lakes and all tributary waters
in connnection with the Klamath or
other irrigation works undertaken under
the national irrigation law. There
will be opposition to this bill in the
house, however, which may be able to
prevent its passage. This was shown by
an adverse report made on the bill by
Chairman Mondell, of the irrigation
committee.
The entire committee, with the ex
ception of Mondell, is in favor of, the
passage of the bill and concur in a fav
orable report made by Representative
Williamson. In his report Williamson
quotes from a letter of the director of
the geological survey, urging the pas
sage of the bill. Among other things
the director says:
The feasibility of the Klamath irri
gation project, from an engineering
standpoint, is beyond question, and it
is also one of the cheapest projects that
has been found by the reclamation
service.
"The bill is intended - to authorize
the secretary of the interior to so utilize
these lakes as may be necessary for the
best development of the country under
the reclamation act.' This would not
be possible without specific authority
from congress, on account of their navi
gable capacity, which, while insignifi
cant in value, is such as to bring them
technically within the direct jurisdic
tion of congress.
The devlopment of this project for
the irrigation of 300,000 acres of land,
about one-half of which is . public land
or at the disposition of the public, pre
sents no physical difficulties of any im
portance. It may be stated further
that connected with this possible devel
opment is an opportunity to extend the
system to include some 90,000 acres of
irrigable land in the Klamath Indian
reservation at some future time, when
these lands may be thrown open to set
tlement.
Tiflis in State of Siege.
Victoria, B. C, Jan., 25. Captain
Orlan Cullen, representative of the Im
perial" Marine association of Tokio, re
ceived a cablegram from Constantinople
tonight to the effect that 1,500 Circas
sians had revolted and killed the Rus
sian guard, numbering 200. at Slavini,
in the Caucasus, and that Russians and
Turks in large numbers were crossing
the frontier into tne Caucasus to spread
revolution in Tiflis province. Tiflis
City is practically in a state of siege
he said, and communication is had
only by dispatch bearers. '
Women Trampled in Rush.
Chicago. Jan. 25. Several - women

Breshkowsky, the Socialist worker
Before the doors of the auditorium
were required a detail of policemen to
keep the crowd -from' stampeding and

Santiago, Cuba, Jan. 25. There

ment. No serious damage was done,

more shocks.
HIS POWER IS GONE
Czar Has -Been Forced to Yield
to Grand Dokes. -
VLADIMIR AND SERGIUS RULE
Rioting and Bloodshed Spread to Alt
Parts of Empire Revolution
Under Full Headway.
Libau, Russia, Jan. 24. The imper
ial yacht Standard is expected here to-
convey the czar and his family to Co
penhagen. .. .
Reports from St. Petersburg say that.
the actual government is no longer in
the hands of the czar. This statement
is made with deliberation and with a.
full knowledge of the day's doings.
The grand ducal coterie, always power
ful, but until very recently held in
check by the people's pathetic faith
in the power, of the "Little White!
Father," is in absolute command.
Grand Duke Vladimir commands the
troops, and every order, whether it be-
one of leniency or stern repression, is
issued by him. Grand Duke Sergius is
stated to be in control of the internal
situation.
The utmost secrecy is maintained- as
to the czar's present whereabouts.
Some have him at Tsarskoe-Selo, others
at Peterhoff , still others insist that he
has been at the winter palace rieht
along. All questions put to men in
authority on that score are met with
the very courteous reply that thev-
know as little as the interrogator.
MOSCOW IN TURMOIL.
Workmen Force Closing: of All thev
Large Factories.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 24. The most
startling feature in the situation to
night is the news that several factories
m Moscow have closed and that the-
workmen in the old capital of Russia
are repeating the tactics of their fellow
workmen of the new capital, marching -from
shop to shop and mill to mill, de
manding that the establishment shut,
down. The whole city is reported to.
be in a state of great excitement over
the news of the bloodshed which has
precipitated immediately the strike-
that had been scheduled for Wednes
day. The tension, which was somewhat.
relaxed during the morning, continued
to increase during the day. Conditions
appeared to be omnious, when, shortly
after dark, the workmen-in two electric ;
light plants walked out, refusing triple
pay to remain, and plunging half the
city into utter darkness, including the-
Nevsky Prospect. The water supply
was also cut off, and a veritable panic
ensued. IT IS REVOLUTION.
Sailors at Sevastopol Mutiny in Mass.
and Destroy Buildings.
Kieff, Jan. 24. Details of the burn
ing of the admiralty yards at Sevasto
pol have arrived here, showing that it .
Was the result of a mutiny of 8,000'
sailors, such as never before occurred.
in Russia.
All Saturday there had been consid
erable talk all over the city that the
sailors in the Sevastopol barracks had
grown restive and" that numerous in
stances of insubordination had oc
curred. Shortly after the noon hour
Monday the doors of the barracks were
thrown open and several thousand sail
ors forced, their way out into the street..
One squad of mutineers rushed to-
the rooms of a captain, who is said to-
have been particularly disliked. The
officer was seized -and thrown to the
floor. Thev beat in his skull, and his
face was mangled beyond recognition,
and then they wrecked his rooms and
took every weapon they could find..
Meanwhile, those on the outside had
set fire to the building, which, being
old and mainly constructed of woodv
was burned to the ground.
From there the mutineers rushed
wildly through the streets, setting up-
the cry of: "The revolution has be
gun."
One of the Horrors of Revolt.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 24. Among the
authenticated horrors of yesterday is
the case of an aged general, whose
sledge was stopped by the infuriated
people as he was driving in the direc
tion of the troops. Are you going to-
order them to fire on us?" yelled the
pmwri . Thfl frpnnrfl.1 nrrlerfri met nranh
