MUST SHOW CAUSE.
Jiminez Will Be Requested to Dem
onstrate His Title to Recognition.

New York, Dec. IA special to the
Herald from Washington, ID. c., says:
Instructions have been sent to Min
lister Powell at Port Au Prince, direct
ing him to proceed to Santo Domingo
and make an investigation to determine
the sta bility of the Jiminez government.
The government will also make repre-
SentatiOnS to General Jiminez to ascer-
tain his Intentions with respect to the
continuance of the concessions made
by the late Heureaux government to
the American syndicate, which con-
trOlled the finances of the island and
to other Americans.
Unless such concessions are recOg-
nized, it is extremely doubtful that this
government will recognize President
Jiminez's administration. The authOri-
ties are determined that the change in
government in SantO Domingo shall
not prejudice American concessions and
it is in pursuance of this determina-
tiOn that Minister Powell has received
the representations indicated. It is ex-
pected the moral effect Of the repre-
Sentations will be sufficient.
One of the results of the accession
of Jiminez to the presidency of Santo
Domingo, it is believed will be that
the little republic viii not push the
claim for damages growing out of the
Fanita expedition, which it contemplate
ed doing during the Heureaux admin
istratiOn. The Fanita was an alleged
filibustering steamer, which left Mo-
bile, Ala, May "A, 1898, for Santo Do
mingO.
The republic of Santo Domingo has
been financed in Wall street by a syn
dicate of Americans, known as the San
to Domingo Improvement company,
since 1893. One of the leading spirits of
the syndicate is Smith NJ Weed. This
syndicate collects the customs and dis
tributes the revenues.
Trouble has occurred in the republic
owing to the Mexican silver and do
mestic coin forming a bulk of the cir
culating medium. About a wear ago
the republic began to issue bank notes,
which finally reached the sum of So. 6OO.-
600 and brought about the recent revO-
luton Since Jiminez became presi-
dent overtures have been made by one
or more French syndicates to assist in
financiering the republic.
