Domingo with the United States, BE
least the partial management by
North America of the business of this
republic
Though the men who have acquired
the financial control OF the island main
tain that they have DO thoughts beyond
mere speculative enterprise, there is
no denying that the political impor-
lance of their venture is very great to
the United States. Through it, this
country will acquire their harbor and
coaling station. The holders of the
concession practically rule the republic,
because they pay the officials. When
the negotiation for the purchase were
first talked of, it was limited that ex-
Secretary Blaine end Messrs. Jay Could
and D. Ogden Mills were in the scheme,
and that it would be sprung upon the
country for campaign purposes. TWAS
also suggested that the United States
government was the READ ingtigator OF
the scheme. 1t was reported that Min
lister Phelps, at Berlin, had officially
interviewed in the action Of Germany in
San Domingo, and had been snubbed
By the under secretary of foreign af-
fairs. One of the most active negotia-
tors at that time also was said to be
Mr.. Isaacs, son of the-late lord mayor of
London.
1t is certain that in the hands Of men
of enterprise, energy and wealth the
island could soon develop vast pros
perity.
The chief products of San Domingo,
which is the oldest settlement of Euro
pean origin in America are tobacco,
sugar, cocoa, mahogany and a great va
rietv of other woods, wax honey, tur-
tie shell and hides OF these, sugar,
though the most recent inGustry.is now
the most important and productive.
The minerals are gold, copper and
iron. The imports IN 1887 were s452,-

dition an acknowledged debt of s7Is,-

chief attractions are the cathedral and
the Columbus residence. The area OF
the country is about 2o,J96 square miles,
while the population has almost reached
$4,000.
The members Of the purchasing syn
dicate, IS far rs known, are Charles
