DISPUTE OYER
BOUNDARY LINE
Caused Invasion of Haiti by San
Domingo Troops.
TROUBLE OF LONG STANDING
The Matter Had Been Submitted to Ar
bitration, and the Report of the
Invasion Came As Sur
prise to Leger.
TROUBLE OF LONG STANDIN

Washington, April 5.-Minister Leger, of
Haiti, expresses much surprise at the re-
ports of an invasion of Haiti by San Do
mingo force over a boundary dispute, as
the minister says this entire controversy
was submitted by treaty concluded last
December to the final arbitration of Pope
Leo.
The boundary dispute is of long standing,
a partial agreement being effected in 1854
by which the status quo was to be main
toined, each country holding such ground
as it then possessed. But this was not
lived up to and a few months ago a final
reference to the pope was agreed upon. All
the papers have since been forwarded to
the vatican, the pleas submitted and the
two countries are waiting for the pope S
award.
In the meantime, press advices from Hal
ii received at the legation indicate that the
countries have been trying to enter upon
the execution of the probable award if the
pope. Commissioners from each side were
named and these met on the border and
endeavored to agree on starting point for
the boundary line. These efforts were flu
tile, however, and the commissions re-
turned to their respective homes
Mr. Leger says Haiti is most anxious to
preserve peace, so as to devote herself to
international development Just now she is
interested in an important financial
change to the gold standard, which will
be gradually accomplished within the next
year. .t-a
Neither state nor navy departments have
any advfces on the reported trouble in
Haiti and San Domingo. Owing to the
friendly interest which this government
feels toward south republics, it is quite
possible that in the event of a clash the
good offices of the United States would be
at the service of the two contending
parties to aid in a friendly settlement In
the absence of official information no step
has been taken in that direction nor has
the navy department considered the advis-
ability of having a warship near the
scene.

COMMISSIONERS RETURN
Say Porto Ricans Are Pleased With
Annexation to United States.

New York, April 5.-Major C. Watkins
and Horatio 8. Rubens, of the insular COM
mission sent by the war department to
Porto Rico to investigate and report on
what changes in the civil affairs of the new
colony are needed, returned to this city to-
day on the army transport Mcpherson.
Mr.. Reubens, speaking of the work of the
commission, said:
I'VE found the general sentiment of the
natives of Porto Rico was one of extreme
satisfaction because the island has been
annexed to the United States. We were
enthusiastically received and took a gre II
deal of testimony concerning the subjects
We were sent there to inquire about.
"These were the workings of the civil
government, such as the public schools
system of taxation, local laws, courts and
roads and highways. What changes the
commission think needed will be embodied
In a report to be sent to the secretary oil

Admiral Dewey is learning what It IL
to be famous. Since his return home he
has been kept rather busy with recep-
tons and ovations, but he must have had
time to notice the food of articles which
bear his name. .. s@ = 4. ''yE<.$sE
The Dewey souvenir craze, starting In
New York, has now spread all over the
country and has become one Of the most
remarkable features Of the nations well
come to his home coming. TheNname OF
Dewey has been seized upon and appro-
priated by owners Of almost everything
capable Of being named, from bull pups
aud babies to theatcrs and town sites.
Just what Dewey thinks Of all this has
not yet been learned. Perhaps he finds
the English language too feeble to ex-
press his ideas on the subject. y.
II he is as modest as he Is reported to
be, he will want to sail back to tho
Asiatic station at double speed when he
learns that the Dewey craze has gone to
such extremes that the girls are wearing
garters with his face In smiling relief on
the buckles. He will simply 60 mad
when he finds that young George Dew
eys are cutting their teeth. on Dewey
teething rings and playing with baby
rattles made up Of Dewey heads.
There are so many Dewey novelties on
the market that man might almost fur
nish house and keep the establishment
running and not use single article that
is not sold as Dewey souvenir. From
the table napkins and butter dishes to the
pictures in the house and nearly all his
wearing apparel, everything can be- .
Dewey article. He can eat Dewey
breakfast food and hot rolls from the
Dewey bakery out Of dishes with Dew
ey's face all over them. for all these arti-
cles are ON the market already, and new
Dewey ideas are being created every
day. AL OF his toilet articles, from Dew

ey sweet scented soap, with the admirals
face impressed on every bar, to the shay
ing cup bearing Dewey's features, are on
the market. Cuff buttons with Dewey's
face engraved on them are in nearly all
faces stamped all over them are on sale.
s.. Paper napkins with Dewey's picture
and numerous other patriotic decorations
printed in red are all the fad. The Sec
ond class restaurants are beginning to
Is cents hundred, which is somewhat
more expensive than the old paper nap
kins. Ham sandwiches or other small
eatables purchased at some of the lunch
stands are now wrapped in Dewey tissue
paper wrappers.
Dewey enthusiasts are seen every day
now wearing Dewey neckties. These
ties have his picture scattered over them
like the pictures of the Columbia and
Shamrock on some Of the yachting ties.
They are almost invariably worn with a
Dewey scarfpin, and Dewey cuff buttons,
with walking cane surmounted with
Dewey's head, complete the outfit.
Dewey badges are of course to be
bought everywhere. The medallions,
Of the Olympia, can be bought at 10
cents each, 30 1t can be seen that over
bubbling patriotism can be cheaply salts
fed. 81 -. -
In the way Of Dewey wearing apparel
for the women there is little beyond the
neckties which either sex can wear. One
firm is advertising Dewey stockings, but
these are merely. red, white and blue
striped hose. 1921. .5s...,,.:..
The toy stores have not yet received
their fall supply Of Dewey toys. The
toy merchants say that the manufacture
ers are preparing to food the market with
toys commemorative Of Dewey's great
performance at Manila. Quite a large
collection Of toys is already to be found
in the stores. ~ III s,.,a ~. .@%&.
The worst of these is a doll, made to
represent Admiral Dewey at that time Of
his life when he was lieutenant in the
navy. The doll is Tabled "Lieutenant
Dewey" and no more wicked SANDER or
libel Of DeWey's personality could be
made than is made by this doll. orr
4 A Autograph Of the admiral, half life
size, can be bought for cents. Hand
some plaques Of Dewey or Dewey busts
In bronze cost as high as $25. The pref
test Of the Dewey souvenirs are the SOU
venir spoons, made in many handsome
designs. Toilet articles Of nearly all
kinds are sold at some Of the stores as
Dewey souvenirs. "A neat souvenir is a
fan. This fan is rather late In the sea-
son, but the cold weather does not de-
tract from Its beauty. It Is an accordion
folding fan, and every fold bears some
pretty Dewey idea. The center leaf has
Dewey's picture, and two Of the other
leaves have splendid pictures Of the
Olympia. Sx In i. s:
One feature Of the Dewey pictures
which appear on everything in sight is
That no two Of them look alike. As por-
traits they vary in degrees Of atrocity.
One gives him q prison pallor, while an
other shows him with such rudy COM
plexion as only the depraved Imagination
Of sign painter could create. II the
admiral does not protest against these
pictorial libels, It Is only because he haa
a kind heart and an unbounded faith IN
the good will Of his fellow man. q
