MINISTER POWELL'S
LIFEWASIN DANGER
Alleged Plot to Assassinatn
United States Official.
ALSO EX-PRESIDENT J'lMINEZ.
Plan Was For Several Men to Engage
In Street Fight as Mr. Powell
Was Passing?He Was To Be Sho*>
? as If by Accident.
iNew York, Dec. 15.?An alleged plot
to asssassinate William F. Powell.
United States minister to Haiti and
charge d'affaires at Port-au-Prince,
Santo Domingo, has been disclosed
in a communication from an official of
the present Dominican government to
* fellow countryman in this city, who
lormerly was an official under \W>s
y Gil, the recently deposed president
of the republic.
The letter states that the plot had
been so arranged that Ex-President
Jlminez, under whoso leadership Wos
y Gil was overthrown, should be killed
at about the same time. The plot to
nssasinate Minister Powell, it was asserted,
was conceived because of his
opposition to plans of certain officials.
The plan, as reported, was to let
two or three men get into a fight on
pgrnU?,
melee other plott$ca -ahoutd.?e!)ga^aand
It would be an easy matter to kli
the American "by accident."
With regard to .Mminez, the writer
asserts that he was to be the victim
of plain assassination and that already
two unsuccessful attacks have been
made upon his person. The first occurred
Dec. G. when a shot was fired
at him while he wtis driving. The
second attempt was made three days
later.
Jiminoz was the candidate for the
presidency in opposition to General
Morales, and the partisans of the men
who desire to succeed Wos y Gil r.
said to he at loggerheads. While the
plot against Minister Powell is said
by the author of the letter to have
been abandoned because of a strong
stand taken by a member of the cabinet,
it is said, the American diplomat
is being carefully guarded whenei ei
be goes out.

Russian influence over the K?

matter and possibly may refuse erenta*

A feeling of unrest Is growing
among the Korean people, who feal \
that whether it he peace or war bo

tinction of the empire is imminent.
It is believed that the outbreak ol
hostilities or the announcement of g
protectorate of any kind will preclpt*

Foreigners in Seoul expect disorder
and the American residents desire g
warship.
The Korean army, numbering 1,00#
men. is considered one of the most
dangerous factions of the situation.
In case of trouble it la feared thatffhs
soldiers will be the first to lead tbd

SOME MYSTERY IN AFFAIR.
Police Investigating Death of Wealthy
Mine Owner.
New York, Dec. 15.?-Investigation
into the circumstances surrounding
the death at Bellevuo hospital last
week of Adolphus llrucker, form*
member of the British parliament, has
been commenced by the police.
Rrnfkor tvh/. wou o w.oltl.*
owner of British Columbia, was placed
in the prison ward of the hospital wh'ld
suffering from alcoholism and died
there. The inquiry was brought about
by a letter written to Attorney General
Eugene Robinson, Bruckner'a lawyor,
Samuel Murphy, now a prisoner
in the Tombs, but who occupied a cot
near Brucker in the hospital.
Mr. Murphy charges that the attornments
dosed Brucker with frequent and
heavy hypodermic injections of morphine,
besides an internal dose of narcotic.
known as "snipe." and also beat
him about the head frequently and unnecessarily.
When Brucker died Mr.
Murphy declares the body was hastily
taken to the morgue, and It Is charged
the hour of death was mis-stated. Another
charge Is that though friends o4
Mr. Bruckner had several times tele
phoned to the hospital asking: if Brucker
was there, the answer was always
that no such person was among the patients.
Lt is also averred that when he was
brought to Bellevue he had some valuable
jewelry about him and that this
has disappeared.
