Plainly Presented.

San Domingo, Republic of San
Domingo, Sept. l8.-United States
Minister Powell has sent a strong
protest to the Dominican government
nased on the following grounds:
That the action of the Dominican
government in sending to congress q
project for ests biishiug the neutrality
of Dominican waters and making GER
tain ports free, would lin view OF the
fact that Santo Domingo is neigh
boring State, not be accepted in a
friendly spirit by the government Of
the United States.
That the United States govern
ment would not allow the establish
,nens Of any coaling ports in Santo
Domingo or the cessi" ! of any por-
ton of Santo Domingo to any Euro
pean power.
"rnat the United States will not
permit any nation to make exclusive
use OF Dominican waters in time Of
peace, much less in time of war.
Nor could the United States allow
any portion Of the country to conflict
with the concession granted to the
Clyde line"
The American protest has excited
considerable comment.

A VICTORY FOR MINISTER BOWEN
GIVES VENEZUELA BETTER
CHANCE AS BLOCKADE WILL
BE RAISED At ONCE.

Washington, Feb. g. - President
Roosevelt has declined the invitation
Of the allied powers to arbitrate the
question as to whether they shall re-
ceive preferential treatment in the set
Element of their claims against Ven
ezuela over the other creditor nations.
He reached this decision shortly be-
for o'clock yesterday afternoon and
instructed Secretary Hay to dispatch a
note to the British embassy at once
advising the British ambassador to
that effect. The matter. therefore, will
now be referred to The Hague tri-
bunal. This will result in the imme-
date raising of the blockade. The ad-
ministration. 1t is stated IN an official
quarter, was unwilling to approve the
effort of the British government to
eliminate Minister Bowen from the
negotiations. and, moreover, the pres

the invitation of the allies even had he
been so disposed, without the consent
of the other negotiator, Minister Bow
en-. and this the allies did not obtain
or request in their note of invitation to
the president.
To-day. preliminaries with refer
ence to the signing of the protocol OF
referring the matter to The Hague for
arbitration will be considered. In ad-
ministration and diplomatic circles
the reference to The Hague is regard
ed as victory for Minister Bowen, as
Venezuela thereby is enabled to re-
cover from the distressing effect of the
blockade before starting upon the pay
ment Of her debts. The cumbersome
machinery of The Hague, it is expect
ed, will delay matters considerably,
and the payment Of creditor nations
cannot begin until the important ques-
ton OF
Priority Payment
for the allies is decided. The finding
of The Hague tribunal may not be
handed down for some months. The
tribunal also will decide the vital
question to South American states as
to whether blockades and lombard
ments entitle powers to preferential
treatment at the hands of their debtor.
Coming from The Hague, it will es-
tablish a precedent, while decision
on the point from President Roosevelt
would have carried no weight as de-
cisive of point of international law.
The effect of an adverse finding by the
president, therefore, could not have
prevented the allied powers from re-
peating their blockade next month il
they desired, whereas verdict from
The Hague would ada new canon to
the law of nations and stop such a
course of practice completely. 1t was
to gain this principle which necessaFi-
ly vitality affects not only the future OF
Venezuela, but of other republics Of
this continent that Mr.. Bowen stood
out for arbitration by The Hague tri-
hunal instead of by the president.
