COMES TO OUR TERMS
U. S. Minister Powell Has Carried His
Point al Sant0 Domingo.
SOME HEAVY FIGHTING ABOUT CITY.
Dominican Government Agrees to the Pro-
visions Of the Protocol Regarding the San
Domingo improvement Company-A VIC
tory for the American lnterests-lusurgent
Routed.

San Domingo Especially. - United
States Minister Powell has finally car
ried his point against the Dominican gov
eminent that it should agree to the pro-
visions of the protocol regarding the
Santo Domingo Improvement Company.
The government informed the Min
lister that it would accede to his re-
quest, carry out the provisions of the pro-
tocol and appoint arbitrators today. This
is considered great victory for the
American interests.
There was heavy fighting here. The
forts around the city were engaged with
the insurgents and there was considerable
cannonading on both sides. The town
was not damaged and the situation is un-
changed.
The United States cruiser Baltimore
arrived here
Business is at standstill.
Washington Especially .-Conirmatory
information of the attack on San Domin-
go City by the revolutionists reached
the State Department in dispatch from
Minister Powell. He reported that the
revolutionists were attacking the city on
three sides. There were no other details
in Minister Powell's cablegram. The
cruiser Baltimore. which was ordered to
San Domingo waters, is now there, SO
that American interests will be given full
protection.
The case of the San Domingo I'm
provement Company against the Domin-
lean government has been one of long
standing. The improvement company
had contracts for making various I'M
provements and for certain harbors, priv
ileges and dues, which contract the Do
minican government afterwards took
away from the company. The former
sought the assistance of this govern
ment. and asked it to secure its just
rights.

NOT Interfere

Washington, D. c. (SpeciaD.-It is

story printed by an Odessa Russian
newspaper that the United States con-
templated military occupation of Muk-

The assurances that had been received
here from Russia quite satisfied the de-
partment that, regardless of any military
or political movements by Russia in
Manchuria, there would not be any at
