The Cabinet has declared the Presidency temporarily vacant, and has nummoned Vice-Presideut Caceres to act as President. Firmin .Perez, Governor of Puerto IPIaia, who is a friend of President Morales^, has left Puerto Plata, and a new Governor, who is friendly to the iOabinet, has been installed in his place. **'??- - - _x , ? rv n T1*a r^Ami ninn n W aSlUUglOIl,# U. \j??x lie juvluiuavuu i Cabinet has informed the Diplomatic .Corps at Santo Domingo City that on account of the desertion of President Morales, Vice-President Ramon Caee,- J res has been asked by the Cabinet, ac- j ipording to law. to assume control of | ibe Government. It was learned that this Government ,triH not interfere with the internal dis| turbances of Santo Domingo, but that It will not ]>ermlt the custom houses fto be disturbed. The modus vivendi iwill be maintained. Vice-President Oaceres wac supposed Ito be ..t Monte Cristi. Morales was said to be at Jaima. a few miles from Santo Domingo City, with a few followers, who were fighting. The decision vf this Government to .uphold the custom houses in case they are placed in jeopardy by the present disturbances was reached at the contference between the President and Secretaries &oot, Taft and Bonaparte at /the White House. Tiie rresiaenc Delleves that it would create a dangerous situation if the custom houses were seized by either political faction. The breaking" of the nndus vivendi would probably lead to some action ou the part of the foreign nations which represent many creditors of Santo Domingo. These include Germany. Prance. Italy and Belgium. The outcome of the attempted revolution on the part ofr President Morales is still somewhat in doubt, but it la rhnnsrht her<? that the Jiniinistas, .*v with whom he has thrown in his lot. are not anywhere near strong enough to down the Horacistas. the party (which has been in control for a year, ^nd a half, with Morales as its President. The Cabinet is controlled by the Horacistas, and Caceres, the new acting President, is a member of that faction. The Cabinet was practically made solid for the Horacistas some iweeks ago, when Sanchez, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, was throwu out of office and Senor Tejera put in his place. In Santn TV*minfffk tllA Cabinet has 'executive powers ?qual to those of the President, and it was due co this condition, in all probability, that Morales left Santo Domingo City. . It was learned that Morales ha* long t*een suspected of being in laague with the opposition. The Horacistas control the entire country, with the possible exception of the province of Monte Cristl, and Morales is not believed to be strong enough to do any harm. The Horacistas, therefore, will prob ably remain in control. The party is in favor of the modus viveadi and thj? treaty. If Morales fails in his efforts to make a Government suitable to himself the interests of the Administration ,will probably not be affected. *sviir\Tn nrTVd or ^rrr PC?

TiN SHEARS FOR LANCET Remarkable Operation Performed on Chinaman at Sea. Hop Line, Fireman on the Sntsnina, Has Mis Appendix Roiaored by the engineer. Now York City.?Operations for appendicitis are common enough nowadays, but it is safe to say that tbe one performed on Hop Ling, fireman aboard the steamship Satsuma. just in from Yokohama, is the most remarkable iu the annals of surgery. For a pair of tin shears did duty as a surgeon's knife, a redhot soldering iron served to canterize the cut, it was sewed lip with a sail needle, and the only anaesthetic employed was a potato sack drawn over the man's head. Because of it all Hop Ling is alive and well to-day. Chief Engineer Brand relieved Hop of his troublesome appendix. Neither tbe Chief Engineer nor Captain Chubb had any premonitory warnings of evil when Chop Suey, the cook, came to them one morning and said that Hop Tving was "velly sick." "Me tink urn die," said Chop when he had made an end of his recital. One'look at Hop as he lay motionless 011 his figured quilt below in the firemen's quarters showed that the cook was not far wrong. Two or three of the firemen off duty, who wore absorbed in their eternal game of fantan. said, yes, that Ling was "relly siclman," and went on playing, for a! Chinese are fatalists. And so if Ling whs fated to die, be would die; that was all. Far be it from one of them, so they explained, to meddle in the affair. It would be sure to offend the joss. Captain Chubb, however, took a less fatalistic view of -the matter, and brusquely ordered two of the crew.tO;. carry Hop on a board into the messroom for the purpose of a more convenient diagnosis. "I am strongly of the opinion," said he to the Chief Engineer, "that this man id suffer in g from appendicitis. We will now proceed to see if my sup position is correct." "Aye, aye, sir," said Brand, a bit doubtfully. "It may weel be as ye say, sir, but I'm sair miuded to think it's mair likely he has an iugrowia' tumor, sir, of the intestines." "We shall see, we shall see," returned Captain Ohubb, shortly. "Mr. Pyecroft, will you kindly oblige me with a potato sack?" "An hempty one, sir?" asked the bewildered sailor. "Yes, yes, empty, of course," snapped the Captain. "We must have a bag of some ??>rt to envelop the head. It is always done in operations of this sort." . king, now quite assured that his last hour had come, and accepting the end with true Oriental resignation, was laid out on the mess-table, and the tnrofoi'iniio orrwwMi nn his richt nlflf* ey-~" v? ?- - -O .carefully examined, by Captain Cliubb and the Chief Engineer. "It is as I said," the Captain announced, triumphantly. "The man has an enlargement of the appendix." The Chief Engineer said nothing, bub it could be seen by his contracted brows that lie was not convinced. "Looks to me, sir," ventured Pyvcroft, "like 'e 'ad swallowed a cocoanut, or some such thing, sir, but if you says hit's 'is happendicks w'ots th' trouble with 'im?" "It must be removed at once," broke In the Captain decisively. "Pyecroft, "bring the'tln shears and a stHdering iron." "A wot, sir?" gasped the sailor. "A soldering iron," repeated the Captain. "The wound must be properly cauterized. Get a sail needle and a bit tn iiirenu, iuu, wuiie yuu rs hudui 11. ( And so Ling was divorced from hi3appeudix, the Chief Engineer performing the task witli the same skill and thoroughness he would bavo used in makiDg repairs 011 his engines, while Captain CUubb aud the astounded Pyecroft rendered what assistance they could. When the last stitch was taken in Hop Ling's side he was removed to his flowered quilt again, whence he arose after a few days of dreamy convalescence to resume his interrupted duties in the stokehold. All this may sound more like a medical student's dream than the sober truth, but If you do not believe it, go A a r*r n fA T>i T?4c:f I? i crAf nrharA fltu uv/vr U IV A. i tn. yy, upnu lw tvi , u uviv iu>.

The Associated Press correspondent there succefded in getting (ho St. Petersburg bureau by frelpbon?, but be only uttered the words, "I aw going to tell you a horrible story," when he was cut off. Since ilieu nothing lias Deen neara from tiie correspondent. The Semiovsky Regiment of Guards . was dispatched to Moscow by train. This is considered, rather ominous. One menage received from Moscow in the course of the day said that troops with artillery were pouring into the city, but the situation had; not greatly chauged. The revolutionists held sections of the Moscow-Kazan Railroad. The military patrols were engaged iu guerilla warfare witn the revolutionists, who were peeking refuge <n the roofs of houses and in the narrow thoroughfares. Another message from Moscow said that-.during the night ^he artillery worked at destroying the barricades. The revolutionists, this message said, were divided lnto-three "armies." The first, consisting of 800 men armed with rifles and pikes, were operating between Moscow and Perovo, using the railroad, which it controlled. Artillery and cavalry were beinj employed against *his torce. The second "army" was armed especially with bombs and revolvers, and was composed of 1000 persons, in whose ranks were mauy women, who displayed not'ouly bravery but ferocity. This force was operating iu the region between the Sadovia district and the Jewish Market, had many barricades to prevent the passage of troops, was operating in small groups and was attacking patrols. When pressed these revolutionists- disappeared into alleys and houses. Artillery, cavalry and infantry were being used against them. The third and largest "army" was operating in the regiou between the Brest Railroad station and the Triumphal Gate. It also had many barricades and was engaged iu guerilla ti*c. tics, making it difficult for troops to inclose it. Some of the barricades were battered down by artillery, but they were re-erected &y the survivors. Lieutenaut-G^neral Mistchenko, whq commanded a Cossack brigade iu Manchuria during the Russo-Japanese War. has arrived at Moscow, and may have taken over the command of the troops there. He had a narrow escape from capture by the revolutionists at St. Andrew's Monastery on the outskirtsof the city. The General and two members of hts staff managed to get a sleigh and reached Moscow by making a wide detour, but fifty officers returning from Manchuria, who were left behind, were surrounded, captured, and forced to, give up their arms. They begged to be allowed to keep the gold swordsj given them for bravery, but the revolutionists refused, their request. . < An. inspired statement in the SIovo says the Government expects that the revolt in Moscow will be completely crushed within four days. From an independent source the Slovo learned that the bloodshed at Moscow had been frightful and that the casualties would reach 15,000. The information of other papers was such that, while admitting that the revolutionists were showing 3igns of ex nausuon, luey uiu nut reguru uie isauo as decided. The Molva (Russ) deJ clared that the area of fighting was increasing instead of diminishing, asserted that the insurgents were holding six miles of barricades, and added: "Even if the revolt falls now it will only be a temporary reverse and it will be recommenced iu January or February." This aiso is the view of the revolu- . tionary leaders here, who, however, have not yet given up hope of success nt Moscow. In any case, they assert, they can in the meantime keep the Government engaged in suppressing continual uprisings from place to place, believing that each city and town should Itave its baptism of blood as a preparation for the final upheaval.

HAMILTON ADMITS GRAFT . Agent at Legislature of the N. Y. Life Mak3S. Confessions. ,r: Cornea Before InTNlltstInK Committee of che Couipsoj-MoOkll Makes 3 Statement. * I New York City.?Andrew Hamilton, the legislative agent of tlie New York . Life Insurance Company, in his report to t!te trustees of that institution which t was presented to the Armstrpng inves- 1 tigating committee offers to put up $100,000 to cover any adjustment of the account between himself and the | company which stood open when he j fiailed for Europe last summer. The report was considered by the j New York Life's own' investigating committee at a meeting in the llano- , ver Bank Building offices of the company in the afternoon which lasted J from luncheon to long after dinner time. Although neither the trustees who constitute the New York Life's in-. 1 vesticflh'np emnmittee nor President' John A. McCall, who attended their < meeting; would say anything about the report, it was learned that in addition to the offer to put up $100,000 to cover t the settlement of his account. Hamil- J ton makes in the report a statement 1 somewhat in detail about the purposes; for which he has expended the com- i pany'a'mdney. t He does not, however, render a finan* c cial statement amounting to an ac- c counting IU the ordinary sense of the word, and does not disclose the names of the people to whom he paid the money, for reasons which, he says in the report, are obvious' i One important feature of the document is chat no attempt is made to 1 J.'a. i ~. 2.1 Li. _ ..>u _ M iu A ' tusguise lue luiti iuau luuuii vi uio money that Hamilton spent for legislative purposes did-not go to lawyersappearing", before committees. In fact, it is .understood: that Hamilton remarks specifically that at times in his activities it was essential to employ men who were not lawyers, but who had relations with legislators. Details which would lead to disclosing the identity of individuals so employed are lacking. All of the members of the New York Life's self-investigating committeeThomas P. Fowler, Norman B. Ream, Clarence H. Alackay, Hiram Steele and Augustus G. Paine?with the committee's counsel, John G. Milburn and exJudge William H. Keener, met President McCa*l in the Hanover Bank ounuing omces 01 me company to uine up the Hamilton report, whicli John C. McCall, secretary of the S'ew York Life, brought home from Europe with him last week. The body of the document was gone over in detail with Mr. McCall so that he might throw as much light as possible on the subject matter. President McCall. it is understood. was not, however, aware of the < details of Hamilton's doings except as to what was contained in the report, for, as -ie testified on the stand, Hamilton ran his end C the business himself and L'is decisions in matters of expenditures were unquestioned by the administration. President McCall left the meeting for r few minutes before 0 o'clock. To reporters he said: "It would not be.courteousto ,the.. r Armstrong committee to divulge the nature of the report more thau to say that it is very thorough." , "Is the report satisfactory to you?" one of the reporters asked. "I should say it was," replied Mr. McCall. It was said that a possible, if not probable. result of the Hamilton' report will be a movement to start a general boodle investigation in the Legislature to see if the names.which , Hamilton declines to disclose can be brought out by other means. 0 Influences are at work to force this 0 question upon the attention pf the c Legislature. i THREE CHILDREN KILLED. g Shooting Accidents at Celebrations at Louisville, Ky. * Louisville, Ky.?Three fatalities nnd au unusual number of minor accidents l results from a noisy celebration here.

A new variety of clocks now being ^ made speak the hours instead of strik- J lug them through an ingenious appli cation of the phonograph. Many nerr- D ous people who object to the strident H and often harsh sounding bells pro- H claiming the hours will appreciate a fl softly modulated voice announcing the fl time. The French inventor has.-made clocks with speaking discs of various kinds to serve as alarms. You.'ean be awakened by the vigorous crowing of a cock or Jhe sound, of a well knoira voice. They are arranged to call opt. in various degrees of modulation, some loud enough to rouse the heaviest sleeper. As alarm clocks they should hi time supersede nil others, for the discs can be changed as often as necessary, so that the sleeper will not become so familiar with the call as to sleep on, which often 'happens in the case of the ordinary clocks with bells.
