Foreign Bondh oIders Take a Hand
in the Improvement Company
COntrOXersY.

Washington, Feb. 19.-The holders OF
the foreign bonds of San Domingo have
taken a hand in the controversy now In
progress before the state department re-
spectng the termination by the Domin-
gan government of its arrangement with
the San Domingo Improvement Company.
To-day Count Lichtervelde. the Belgian
minister, brought to the State Depart
ment Mr. Willem Willems, an envoy Of
the bondholders committee of Antwerp,
who brought a small trunk full of powers
Of attorney. There were 3,619 bondholders
represented by this gentleman, covering
73, ,S51 bonds amounting to 2,062, $50 pounds.
Mr.. Willems explained to Acting Secre-
tary Hill and Solicitor Penfield. who are
considering this case, that all the origi~
nal bonds had been deposited by their
owners in the banks of Antwerp, Brus-
sells and Amsterdam and that all of these
bondholders are siding with the Domin-
gan government in its contest with the
Improvement company.
According to Mr.. Willems' statement
the bondhoders insist that the last con-
tract made between the DOMINICAN gov
ernment and the Improvement company,
farming out the revenues, was nullified
by the fact that 1t lacked the assent OF
the bondholders, a condition imposed By
the DOMINICAN government at the time
the contract was drawn.
