WASHINGTON, d. c., January c.
The United States government has at
this moment no concern in the attempt
of the French government to settle a
long standing claim against the gov
eminent Of Santo Domingo by a naval
demonstration, as reported in the press
dispatches. What our future attitude
may be win depend entirely upon de-
velopments, but it may be stated that
there is a growing indisposition here 90
shelter governments in consequence Of
their disregard Of rules of honesty and
international obligations. II Is not
positively known that in the present i'm
stance turpitude is involved, but from
the statement of facts set out in the
press dispatches the case appears ta
bear d strong resemblance 10 others
which have preceded It and which, In
our estimation justified the action of
foreign governments in adopting sum
mary measures to collect their money.
This particular case is said to have
been pending about three years, and it
is understood that President Heureaux
had finally arranged to settle it, but the
agreement was ~disregarded by Jiminez,
lis SuNCESoOks anu tAC piCoSbA
of the presidential Office Of Santo Do
mingo. There is a possibility that the
United States may ultimately become
involved in this affair through what is
known as the San Dominican syndicate,
controlled by New York capitalists.
This concern has a concession from the
San Dominican government by which
in return for d~efraying the interest on
the public debt. and otherwise assisting
the government financially. it is enti-
tied TO collect all of the customs reve-
nues of the island. The present adj
ministration in Santo Domingo is be-
lieved TO be so low in funds that II
could scarcely pay the 100000 demand
ed by the French government in settle
ment OF the pending claim. IL in this
case, the French naval commanders
should undertake 10 seize the customs
revenues, an interesting question might
arise. II should be stated, however.
that so far the State Department Is not
informed that Jiminez has recognized
as still in force the concession held By
the New York syndicate coming from
the late President Heureaux.

On the TuGela River Imminent-
Fears for Mafeking.
LONDON, January 6.-Though moth
ing definite is permitted to pass the
censor, sufficient transpires to confirm
the belief that an important move on
the Tugela river is imminent. The
continual bombardment kept up on
the Boer entertainments and the nu-
merous reconnaissance are apparent
ly connected with a well defined pur-
pose. There are some indications that
the British plan of attack includes an
important movement via Weenan.
Col. Baden-PowelPs defeat in the
sortie at Mafeking raises serious
doubts of his ability to hold out much
longer. To-day, however, comes a re-
port that Col. Plumer reached Mochudi
from Fort Tuli about January 1st with
the Rhodesian relief force. AS Col.
Plumer had at his disposal about 1000
men, if the news is correct, he ought
to be able to raise the siege of MAIZE
king.
The ineonelusive fighting around
Colesburg was renewed this morning,
the British artillery opening to the
westward of the town. The dispatches
indicate the attack is developing into
a general engagement.
