RECOGNITION REFUSED.
Dominican Insurgents Must First have
De Facto Government.

The reyolutionsts of San Domingo TO-DAY
app!ied to the State Department Tor recos-
milton by the United States. The appllca-
ton was presented to the department by
] M Giordan who represented himself as
the provisional agent of the revolutionary
government, meaning by that the govern
ment ofswhich General Jimnez is the acting
head and directing force.
The State Department has derllned the
recognition at this time, but the declinatiou
does not reflect any adverse view toward
the insurrection. The decision was con-
veved to Mr. Giordan with the explanation
that il had been the unbroken policy of the
State Department to recognize only de
facto governments, and If Minister Powell,
who is on the spot, finds that the revoiu-
tionists have actually established capital
and opened ports and is able to protect life
and property he will recognize 1t. SO II Is
expected that the next application of the
insurgents will be directed to the United
States minister at San Domingo. 1t is be-
lieved that Mr.. Powell has not looked with
favor upon the recognition desired because
the revolutionists have threatened to in
validate and repudiate any arrangements
which the United States minister may have
made with the tottering government Of

NOT LIKELY TO EXCHANGE
VISITS WITH THE KAISER.
The Navy Department Has Not Yet
Acted on His Criticism of Naval
Courts Findings.

Rear Admiral Evans, commander-an-cHet
of the Asiatie squadron, whose two year
tour of sea service will expire in the spring,
will return to the United States on the bat
tie ship Kentucky. He VIII sail from Ma
Mia about the 1st of March. and VII come
home by way of the Mediterranean, arrlv-
ing in American waters early In May. IL
has been stated that in the course OF his
journey to the United States Admiral
Evans would pay a visit to Emperor
William, and that the emperor would In
turn call upon the admiral aboard his ship,
the two being we'll known to each other.
The Navy Department officials. however,
profess to know nothing of the matter. and
say that the time allotted to the admiral
for his return to the United States would
not permit of detour to German waters
in the North sea.
The protest of Paymaster Biscoe and
Lieutenant Williams of the navy, regard
ing the language used by Rear Admiral
Evans in reviewing the find ngs or the
court-martial which tried Assistant Pay
master Rishworth Nicholson, has present
ed to the Navy Department a knotty prob
lem. much SO that the legal aufhorltles s
of the War Department have been consult
ed as to the attitude which should be as
sumed toward the admiral. an unusual pro-
ceeding At Secretary Moody's instance
Assistant Secretary Darling took the mat
ter up.
Attacked the Integrity of the Court.
Although his opinion has not been made
public IT is understood that he takes the
position that Admiral Evans in no un-
equivocal terms attacked the integrity Of
the members of the court, and that having
done that, and If he had the evidence at
hand to sustain his charge, it was his duty
to at once order a court-martial of the Off
GERS to whom his remarks were directed.
Not having so acted, 1t is understood that
Mr.. Darling holds that the admiral was
derelict in his duty and should be reprt-
manded.
Secretary Moody also enlisted the legal
talents of Secretary Root in the final con-
sideration of the case. Among the papers
considered were a number of precedents in
cases where severe rebukes had been ad-
ministered by Secretaries of the Navy to
courts martial. but these were not parallel,
the Secretaries themselves having con-
vened the courts, as provided by the regu-
lations where vessels are sufficiently near
for that to be done In Admiral Evans
case, however, as he was both the conven-
Ing and reviewing authority, there was no
appeal from his decision, except that in the
might be a mitigation of the courts SEN

together, the President would have au-
thority to act 1t is said that it is Secre-
tary Moody's present intention to return to
Admiral Evans the findings in the Nichol-
son case, with a notification that he had
decided to dismiss the protest of the TWO
o..cers, Biscoe and Williams but warning
the admiral not to repeat the offense.

THE MACHIAS AT JIBUTI.
Arrival of Consul General Skinner's
Expedition.

The Navy Department is informed that
the gunboat Machias arrived at Jibuti this
morning with Consul General Skinner and
the other members of the expedition to
Ads Abeda, the capital of Abyssnia, where
the consul general will negotiate a COM

calculated at the Navy Department that
the trip to the Abyssinian capital and re-
turn will occupy two or three weeks time.
The Machias will remain at Jibuti until
the party returns. and will then take the
consul general back to Marseille, which is
his regular station
