SAN DOMINGO, Dec. General
Auguistin Morales, President of the
Revisional Government of Santo Do
mingo, had long interview last night
with United States Minister Powell,
during which he demanded that Senior
Galvan. former Minister OF Finance,
should be withdrawn from the board
appointed by the Government Of Presi-
dent Wos y Gil to arbitrate the claims
of the Santo Domingo Improvement
Company.
Minister Powell declined to grant
this demand and supplemented his
declination by the statement that the
United States Government could only
recognize the provisional Government
of~Santo Domingo when it agreed to
observe all the acts and engagements
entered into by former Governments
with the United States. 1t is reported
here that a disturbance, headed by
General Roso, has broken out at Bara-
Iona, on the south coast of the island.
The general situation remains un-
settled and there have been many
demonstrations Of dissatisfaction.
1t is rumored that several places IN
the north of the island are by no
means tranquil and it is considered
desirable that the United States gun

Of the saloon-keepers soon and a gen

1t was reported yesterday that three

battle will be fought to an end. 1t is
rumored that the local firms have i'm
ported a large number of cloakmakers
from the East and that they will ar
rive in a few days to take the places
Of the strikers. The rumor has not
vet been verified.
It is expected that the strike among
the paper-box makers will soon be set
tied. The men demand a shorter
working day and their employers will
in all probability accede TO this de-
mand rather than allow the strike to
continue.
The Actors Union has established

Advices from the north are to the
effect that more than 5000 men have
been thrown out of employment in
the logging camps and it is feared
that they will invade this city during
