TERROR OF ROOSEVELT OUELLS
SAN DOMINGO REVOLUTION
International Nowa Sorvic*.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 14.—DIs
p.-.'rhes have been received from San
Domingo which indicate that Kooje
veil’s name carries terror to the black
men of the island and that the mere
mention of it quelled a revolution.
The reports state that the insurrec
tion in San Domingo had assumed
dangerous proportions within the past
few days. Natives were flocking to
the standard of tho bandit leader,
Chaca and It seemod probable that a
h).:ge force of marines and soldiers
would be needed to disperse the little
at my.
While this situation was supposed
to be growing worse with each day
the commander of the United States
marines was greatly surprised last
evening to have the bandit leader
Chaca announced as a caller. When
he was brought in he said that he had
come to surrender himself. On being
questioned as to what led him to do
this he said that he and his men had
htard the news that General Roose
velt was soon to come to Han Domingo
w'th his rough riders and that there
was no use in fighting against him
arid his demons.
The bandit said that Ills followers
hud dispersed In all directions to
mountain fastnesses and could not be
induced to fight against a man who
killed lions and tigers with hts bare
hands and ate a whole bullock at one
meal.
Tha terror of the blacks is stated
in the dispatches to have been gen
u tie and the mcr name of Koosevelt
is said to inspire fear amongst them.
The United States commander
states that he does not know how
the rumor was spread among the rev
olutlonlsts unless It started from a
chance remark which was made ns u
joke by some of the marines and was
reported to the bandits In the hills
