Dominican Insurgents Not To Be Permitted
to Disavow Agreements.

Washington, Nov 25-It is said at the State
Department that the statement attributed to
United States Minister Powell in the press dis
patches, that periodical revolutions ought to
cease because they endangered the peace Of his
government and of the governments Of other
nations and that the present revolution, If con-
tinued would imperil the sovereignty Of San
Domingo is made upon the minister's own
authority, and without special direction from
the State Department. This does not mean that
the State Department withholds approval Of the
minister's statement, which. in fact, is, il is
pointed out, directly in line with the repre-
sensations which United States Minister Beaupre
was instructed to make to the government Of
Colombia. 1t is the intention Of the department
to hold the new revolutionary government to all
enga genents respecting arbttratiOns and Amer
lean concessions which were entered into under
the administration of Woz Gil, notwtthstand-
ing the disposition shown by the Jimsnez party
to disavow these agreements.
