The rebel leader insist on retaining absev lute control of the city and province of Monte Chrlstl: th government absolutely rejects these ; terms, and orders have - come from President Cacere to attack the rebels imme diately. The government force is made up of about S00 men enrolled In Monte Chrlstl and as many more brought from the Interior, making a total of 000 soldiers who are about to attack the rebel force of 000 men. The government also has a gunboat at Monte Chrlstl ready to assist , the soldiers In th attack. In case there Is a conflict between the antagonistic forces In the Island of Santo Domingo, it is the duty of the United Sates, aocordlng to a high official, to sea that 'tb Marquis ot Queensberry rules ar observed." The inference Is that - the United States government will not Interfere unless the interests which this gov ernment under the existing modus, feels bound to protect r disturb ed. It Is th evident belief of offi cials here that hostilities cannot pro ceed far without making necessary th landing of marinesJ rom th American warships to see that non of the agreements .which hav been made with the Santo Domingo gov ernment are violated. .- ABDUCTED ASHEVTLLE GIRL.

He said he wanted no "humbuggery" about the execution and naked the United States marshal who sprung the trap to "make a home-run ot It" Death en sued In 10 minutes from a broken neck. The body was sent this eve ning to the State University medical school, at Raleigh, for dissecting pur poaea.

United States Marshal Dockery had made ev ery preparation for the hanging and hla plana were carried out without a hitch. ' An immense crowd, composed largely of colored people. gathered around the Jail at the hour of the hanging, but there waa no excitement.

Th Republi can precinct convention in the first precinct of, th city, in whlcji Judg Adams resides, was held In White s photograph gallery at t o'clock this afternoon and resulted in th election of. two delegation to th convention which meets to-morrow, Th . con vention elected aa a temporary chair man, Mr..A.

Judg Adams, It is said, made a short speech In which he called upon the Republicans present to vote for him, . saying . that Blackburn had boasted that be could not carry hla own precinct The State chairman said they would show them. The Adams faction nominated A.' W. Ma Ion and C. Aj Starbuck aa delegates to' th county convention and the Blackburn faction nominated J. T. Hedgepeth and E. A. Eckle. It waa decided that the metnoa ot voting should be by standing in row, th Adam men on on Bid of th room and th Blackburn men on th other. When the sheen and goats war sepa rated, th vote stood for Adams aie- dates, 11; Blackburn Delegates, iz. Judge Adams, when th vote was an nounced, said there must be - some mistake and a recount was made with tho same -result Th. Adams men would not allow Malone, who did their bidding, to announce the vote until they had gone out on the streets and endeavored to secure otner votes. Falling In thla, th convention ended abruptly without th chairman hav ing declared th rot. Two separate caucuses were then held and th del gate of each faction elected. The convention was a warm num ber, as Is freely admitted by both sides. Both factions were determined in their efforts and they worked hard. When the men were lined up and it was seen that it wa close, men beg ged. Insisted and almost dragged others from one aid to th other, but none changed. At one time, men of the Adam faction declared that It waa not right for th chair not to an nounce th vet and started to leave, but Judge Adam waa in th door and Intercepted them.
