Matters in Sauto DOMINGO.

Santo Domingo, Jan. 9.-(Via Haytien
Cable)-It is reported here the Ameri-
cans in this place have asked the gov
ernment of the United States not to
allow France to dictate the terms of
settlement of its claim against the Domi-
nican government An American war;
ship is expected here. The French ad-
miral and his staff were officially re-
ceived by President Jimenez today.
Washington, Jan. 9.-Inquiry made
today shows that while the officials
here deprecate the state Of af-
fairs in Santo Domingo, they have
not found it within their power to
interfere at this stage, at least to pre-
vent the collection by French naval Of
ficers OF what is here understood to be a
just debt. The Machias has been or
dered from San Juan de Puerto Rico to
Santo Domingo. Her purpose is solely
to protect American interests. 1t is said
at the state department no appeal has
yet been made looking to our interven-
tion, and if it should be there is no
doubt we should be obliged to decline
until the debt is settled.
