Birmingham, Ala., Dec. 15.—Senator
Hanna’s friends are building some
hope of his permitting himself to be
offered for presidential honors on the
last sentence of the following letter
which one of them received from hina
j today: A
My Dear Sir—I have read with in-1
terest your kind letter of the 4th and
assure you of my sincere appreciation
of the sentiments expressed in the
same and for your regard and confi-
dence in me. Such suggestions as you
make with reference to next year are
of course highly complimentary, but
my position on this subject is well de-
fined and well knowm I have no per-
sonal ambition to serve and can not
be considered in any sense a candidate
for the presidential nomination. My
only desire is to serve my party to
the extent of my ability. Again thank-
ing you for your kindnesses, I remain,
yours truly,
M^A. HANNA.

Lnlted States consul at Puerto Plata. I
San Domingo, today cabled the state
department that a revolution has
broken out at Santiago and that the
movement is extensive and serious.
This is supposed to be the result
of the failure of the provisional gov-
ernment to secure a recognition at the
hands of United States Minister Pow-
ell. which fact operated to pt event that
government from obtaining money
necessary to maintain itself, through
a foreign loan:
Nothing is known omelally of th.
reported plots against the life of Unit-

navy department will take all neces-
