GERMANY
after SAN
DOMINGO

san Juan, +. r.. March l7.-Informa.
uon has been received from reliable
source that. Germany is secretly trying %
purchase from Spain a debt OF upward
or sal,ooo,ooo owed TO Spain by the Re-
public OF San Domingo.
This debt was contracted after the war
or Independence of 1863. when a treaty
was signed in which Spain recognized
the Independence OF santo Domingo and
tho latter recognized It's indebtedness TO
Spain in the sum named, but which has
never been paid
II Is asserted that later. during the
presidential term OF Ulysses Heaurea1lx
prior to the Spanish American war. Spain
agreed TO call upon Santo Domingo TO
pay only in the event OF the republics
free and voluntary annexation TO some
foreign state.
That Germany should seek TO negotI-
ate the purchase OF this debt at this par
ucular moment is, therefore, of the
greatest signiffcsnce. Should shA make
the puohase her claims In Sanbo Domingo
would be far greater than those OF the
United States, which are only about 81
0cooOo
Besides this. Ger1nanys commercial in
terests IN santo Domingo are Httla OF al
all inferor 20 those OF the United States.
especially since the sugar trade between
these two countries has been sguashed
by the Cuban reciprocity treaty. Ger
many has the entire monopoly OF domni-
can tobacco, and has always made stren-
nous efforts TO increase her commercial
interests In the country and win the af-
fection OF the natives.
The attempted purchase of this debt
shows that Germany Is either seriously
considering the annexation of Santo
Domingo, in dennace of the Monroe doc
trine. which 6anto Domingo reeoIutely
refuses 10 recognize, or Is seeking TO lay
the basis for quarrel in the event OF
Ssnto Domingo being annexed to the
United States.
Should Germany obtain a foothold In
Ssnto Doninga-and she seems deter |
mined to do so-she would be i'm a position |
TO cry ''Checkp 20 the United States.
