BONDHOLDERS TAKE A HAND.
New Feature of the SantO Domingo
Controversy.

The holders of the foreign bonds Of San
Domingo have taken a hand In the contro-
versy now in progress before the State De-
partment respecting the termination by the
Dominican government of its arrangement
with the San Domingo Improvement Com
pany Today Count Lichtervelde, the Bel
gian minister, brought to the State Depart
ment Mr. Wiliem Willems, an envoy of the
bondholders' committee of Antwerp, who
brought a small trunkful of powers of attor-
ney. There are 3,619 bondholders represent
ed by this gentleman, covering 1881 bonds,
amounting to to ot2. $50 Mr.. Wilems ex-
planned to Acting Secretary Hill and So
licitor Penfield, who are considering this
case that all the original bonds had been
deposited by their owners in the banks of
Antwerp, Brussels and Amsterdam. All of
these bondholders are siding with the Do
minican government in its contest with the
improvement company. According to Mr..
Willems' statement, the bondholders insist
that the last contract made between the DO
minican government and the improvement
company, farming out the revenues, was
nullified by the fact that it lacked the as
sent of the bondholders, condition imposed
by the Dominican government at the time
the contract was drawn.

ner of what the Addicks followers have
been claiming for several days past, name
ly that there would be a serious break in
the ranks of the regular republicans, and
that their candidate would ultimately be
elected to the Senate.
There was no material change In the first
ballot, but when the short term ballot was
taken Senator Groves was the first regu-
lar to cast his vote for Addicks. Then fol-

appropriation for the Anacostia river, but
the Senate committee on commerce put in
an appropriation for SIP, 500 for dredging
the Anacostia river channel up to the navy

mel and for reclaiming the flats, but this
provision was not adopted. Officers of the
navy had estimated that $50 COO would be
