WOULD END IRSURRECT|ONS
UNITED STATES MAY RECOGNIZE
MORALES AS PRESIDENT OF
SAN DOMINGO.

Washington, March Pit IS prob
able that an end may be made OF the
Dominican difficulties by the extension
on the part of the United States gov
ernment of full recognition to General
Morales as president Of San Domingo.
One result Of the Mayfower's recent
trip to San Domingo was to confirm
the official opinion that Morales has
sufficient strength of character and re-
sources to maintain a stable govern
ment If the United States and other
nations will prevent the Illicit supply
of arms and ammunition to the insur-
gepts. AS it is the arrival OF every
vessel with ammunition in her cargo
marks the revival Of The revolutionary
movement, which seems quite purpose
less. he state department already
has given some information on this
subject to the shipping interests doing
business with San Domingo, having
satisfied itself that nearly all of the
arms and ammunition imported into
San Domingo came from the United
States, and there may be further ac-
tion in this direction before long, all
with the view to terminate the present
deplorable condition in San Domingo
without direct intervention by the
United States.

RUSSIANS ARE SUSPICIOUS
Doubt china's Sincerity in Observing
MelIt ralitY.

Neutrality.
st. Petersburg, March 21.-The gov
ernment's private information is not
completely reassuring as regards
ChiGa's sincerity in observing a neu-
tral attitude. Secret advices indicate
that at least a powerful party in the
Chinese government is abettlng the
Japanese. Although at first reluctant
to credit these reports the Russian au-
thorities continue to receive evidence
that the japanese contemplate land
ing on Chinese neutral territory, west
of the Liao river, and 1900 men are
being held especially to await develop
ments in that direction.
Moreover the emperor's naval eX-
perts, who have been studying care
fully the puzzle as to where Vice Ad-
miral Togos fleet is coaling and pro
yisioning between its appearances Off
Port Arthur, are becoming more and
more convinced that it is using as a
base some quiet spot on the Chinese
coast. After each disappearance not
word is heard of the fleets where
abouts until it rcappeaTs. A calcula-
ton of time and distances shows it is
quite impossible for the fleet to steam
to Nagasaki or Hiroshima, take on
board coal and ammunition and come
back. 1t is also certain the japanese
warships could not take on coal, much
less heavy projectiles, at sea in the
face of the prevailing rough weather.
The idea that they are using Chemul-
zpo, Fusan or some other place on the
Korean coast for this purpose is re-
jected, as it is believed that if such
were the case the numerous secret
correspondents and secret agents OF
the Russians in Korea would certain
ly have reported the fact.
