A special Washington dispatch, dated August
23, to tho N. Y. World says:
'NThe unmstakably hostile movement of Spain
with regard to San Domingo have not been quietly
passed by here. It is generally believed that the
government will, ct least, oppose diplomacy to
every aggression attempted by Spain, and perhaps
adopt even stronger measures to protect the Domi-
nicans. The course of the Spanish government
concerning San Domingo in the early part of our
civil war was, for obvious reasons permitted to
have its effect without protest from the United
States; but that the war s over, there is sufi
cient reason to think that any new menace or in
vaaion OF friendly country, on the part of Spain
will not go unheeded by our government. And
Franco may be given to understand that she may
take the action of the United States in the San
domingo matter as hint to hersef."
