my LOSE 4 c0ALiNG STATION.
Ex- Minister 10 HayU Tells of conces-
SION He Was About to Secure When
REQUESTED TO Resion.

Rsgues led to Resign
WASHINGTON, d. c.. May 3.-The
United States has, according to Henry
M. Smythe. ex-Mrister to Hayti,
probably lost concession from the re-
public OF San Domingo for the establish
ment OF coaling station at SANTANA Bay
or some other convene mt harDor.
Minister Smythe is no longer the Gov
ernment's accredited representative to
either OF these republics, and is now in
Virginia very much exasperatsd because
his resignation was accepted before he had
time to complete the main features of
treaty whereby San Domingo granted,
free of charge, site for coaling station
and several other commercial privileges
for which this country has been working
for years. He now declares that he will
not surrender the protocol to the depart-
ment.
= No one has as yet been appointed Min
lister, and as there is not much of con-
test for the place Smythe may be con-
tinued after all in Office until the protocol
for the possession OF the coaling station is
completed. Smythe says:
I'm San Domingo last March the Presi-
dent submitted mem randum embracing
the following heads for a treaty: Com
merce, navigation, extradition and reci-
procitv OF interest and concession. Under
this last division, at my second inter-
view, L obtained from the President
concession for coaling station for use of
the American navy during the continu-
ance OF the treaty on the sole condition
that coaling facilities be allowed the
Dominican navy in American ports. He
also asks for the removal of import duties
on sugar, practically an American indus
try, which cannot exist under present
conditions"
The acquisition of some island of the
West Indies for coallng station has been
recognized by naval experts as necessary,
and it is believed that if Denmark were
pressed she would sell the little island of
st. Crolx for reasonable sum. Next to
a coaling station in the West Indies,
naval experts have commended that one
in Hawaii is second in i'm portance. There
is now available in the treasury $500, 900
for the establishment of coaling station
which can be used on the one proposed at
Pearl Harbor. This same money could
be devoted, however, to SANTANA station if
Smythe is restored to office and given a
chance to complete his negotiations.
