York discharged her cargo at the port
Of Santa Domingo under what was
thought to be an agreement Of the con-
tending forces. She was fired on by
the insurgents, however, and the Unit
ed States cruiser Newark retaliated by
Smelling the town Of Pajarito, in which
the rebels were encamped, afterward
landing force of marines and driving
out the insurgent troops. All of this
naturally led to further complications.
Though the rebel forces have been
very thoroughly beaten in subsequent
engagements with the troops Of Presi-
dent Morales, the island is yet in q
very unsettled condition, and there is
a considerable party, in which the COM
mercial element predominates, that is
favorable to annexation to the United

ton that resulted in making General
Jiminez president. In 1902 occurred
another revolution, which was success
full in forcing Jiminez to resign, on
which the vice president, Vasquez,
was installed, to be succeeded in 1903
by General Morales, against whom the
present revolution is directed. In San
to Domingo the president is elected for
four years, unless sooner ''revoluted'
out of office.
The people are Of mixed Spanish,
negro and Indian blood. The govern
ment is modelled on that Of the Ameri-
can republic and so far as form is con-
cerned is said to be quite ideal.
Santo Domingo is one of the most
beautiful of the West India islands.
It lies between Cuba and Porto Rico
In SANTANA Bay it possesses one of the
finest natural harbors in the world. 1t
was this port which President Grant
was especially anxious to secure as
coaling station The oldest settlement
made in the new world was on this
island, Columbus himself having
| founded it. Here the great discoverer
| was buried and here for number of
years was the capital of the Spanish
possessions to the new world.
At the end of the eighteenth century
| Spain coded the eastern half of the
island to France, which held the west
ern half. Soon after the entire coun-
try under Toussaint LOuverture gain
ed it's independence. In 1914 came the
rebellion Of the eastern portion Of the
| island, resulting in the formation Of
| the present Dominican Republic.

GENERAL VIEW OF THE CITY OF SAN DOMINGO

States, or at least to protectorate by
the American government. The an
nexation idea was one Of the cherished
dreams Of President Grant Indeed, it
even antedates Grant, for Secretary
Seward about the time of the Alaska
purchase elaborated plan looking to
American possession Of Santo Domin-
go. 1t is probable that the idea did not
originate in the United States, how
ever, but in the island itself, for the
merchant classes there have always
favored an American protectorate
It was doubtless due to this influ-
ence that President Baez Of the Do
minican Republic sent formal propo-
sition to President Grant looking to
the annexation Of Santo Domingo to
the United States. 1t was in July.
1869, that Grant received the proposal,
and he lost no time in sending a spe-
ciaI commissioner to the island to look
into conditions and report. After some
further negotiations the treaty Of an
nexation was prepared, the question
was submitted to the voters Of Santo
Domingo, who gave it almost unani-
nous approval at special election
held for the purpose, and Grant sub
mitted the treaty to the United States
Senate for ratification. Charles Sum-
ner, chairman Of the foreign affairs
committee, bitterly opposed the ratifi-
! cation Of the treaty, and succeeded in
securing sufficient support to defeat
the treaty. The annexation talk died
down and has not been renewed until
recent years, although the commercial
party in the island still continued to
favor the plan.
Meanwhile affairs in the little repub-
lie We're in q troubled condition. There
were frequent uprisings, and presi-
dents came in rapid succession until in
1886 General Ulysses Heureux was
elected, and the constitution was so al
tered that he could succeed himself.
This he did with somewhat monoton-
Gus regularity, SO contriving matters
that it was impossible to GUST him.
HeureuX was a young man when he
went into office and an ambitious enc.
He became practical dictator of the
country, banishing Or executing those
who opposed him. In this manner he
continued in power until 1899, when
he was assassinated.

LARGE DECREASE
IN CASH SHOWN
Report of Associated Banks
Indicates Financiers I'm
derestimated Movements
DIFFERENCE EXPLAINED
Sudden Withdrawals From
Institutions One of Many
Causes for Big Shortage

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-The Finan-
cier this week says: One of the most
noteworthy features of the official
statement of the New York Associated
Banks last week was the much larger
decrease IN cash than was estimated
upon the basis of traceable movements
Of money during the week, the loss,
as officially reported, being 1926, 700,
while the estimates showed a decrease
of SEPT, Ice. This discrepancy is
partly explained, however, by taking
together the ngures tor two weeks.
In the week ending August &c the
estimates Indicated u loss of $4,872,-
700 cash and the statement d decrease
of $1,S04,6O0. Last week, Us above
noted, there was an estimated loss or
$2127, 100, while the TWO weeks in
dictate an estimated loss Of $6,9Y9, 800.
The official report decrease was 49,
511, 800, leaving a discrepancy OF ST.
511, 500, which may be accounted for
by the fact that the estimates are
based upon actual movements, while
the bank statement figures represent
averages. The TACT also appears that
the Withdrawals of cash from the
banks were the largest in the last few
days OF the week.
The general deposits increased So
7S1,200, carrying this into the highest
on record. The required reserve was
increased, through the gain in de-
posts, by $2,445,30O, which sum, add
ed to the decrease in cash, made So
$4,000, and the reduction in surplus
reserve TO $47,503,400. Computed
upon the basis of deposits, less those
of $23, 500 public funds, the sur
plus is 500, 344,525 The statement
made a fairly good proof, the sum of
the increase in loans less the decrease
i'll cash being $500 more than the
gain in deposits.
The expansion of $1S.1S5, 400 in
loans, which, ii may be noted, makes
a high record which was entirely I'M
expected and was another striking
feature OF the statement, can be
accounted for upon the theory that
there was extensive syndicate or cor
poration borrowing, the large banks
showing heavy increases.
Circulation was augmented by ST.
256, 800 the greatest gain for a sim
gle week this year. The daily average
of bank clearings last week was $780,
600, 900 or $27,00O,000 more than in
the previous week. The clearings on
Saturday, rejecting Fridays business,
were S213,175, 045, much above the
average. Comparisons show that eight
banks expanded loans of II 2-5 mill
lions net, and that nine banks indi-
cate a decrease in cash of 1-5 mil
lions net Two of the larger insti-
tutions contributed IL millions to the
increase in loans and three banks lost
together 10 1-5 millions cash.

MAY SACRIFICE
HIS FORTUNE
Cardinal Gibbons Plan for
Preventing Financial Loss
to the Catholic University
Special Dispatch to Tn. Call.

CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON,
WASHINGTON, Sept. cardinal Glib
bons, Drimate of the Roman Catholic
church in America, is in a fair way to
lose the greater part of his personal
fortune through the financial difficulties
that have overtaken Thomas Wagga-
man, the treasurer since it's foundation
fourteen years ago of the Catholic Uni
versity of America, and virtually every
Catholic institution in the District of
Columbia, including many churches,
faces the same prospect of disaster.
Waggaman's financial difficulties are of
the most extensive order. 1t is declared
that his great estate has been nearly
all lost in speculation.
So serious is the situation that Car
dinal Gibbons has called the clergy of
his diocese to meet in conference to
discuss the affairs of the university.
The Cardinal has expressed willing
ness to sacrifice his own fortune to aid
in saving the university, and has
strongly urged the same course upon
the other clergymen.
The Catholic University Of America is
Waggaman's largest creditor. 1t has
nearly 100000 at stake, and Wagga-
mans bond as treasurer is for only
SIS, 900.

Request of Union Secretary

Absence of Members Reason
Given by Head of Amer

CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-President Com
pers of the American Fedora ton of La
Dor has refused to call a meeting Of the

unionists in support of the packing
house strike. The request that he call
q meeting of the national council in
Chicago was made last week by Sec
rotary Edward n. Nockels of the Chi
cago Federation. To-day Secretary
Nockels received a letter from Com
pers, in which he said:
"A meeting of the executive council
has been called for September r. and
the members cannot attend a meeting
earlier Several of them are away from
their headquarters-some OF them near
~ 1900 miles away, to make Labor day
addresses next Monday 1t would be a
pleasure for me if l might have COM
piled with the request Of the Chicago

lily see how utterly impossible is such
q course. The strike or the butcher
workmen has received and is receiving
my most watchful care, and 1 would
be pleased to do anything in my power,
and know my colleagues Of the coun-
ell would join me in this expression if
/ could be of any service in the interest
of our fellow workmen."
THE American Federation of Labor, ="
said Secretary Nockels, has no power
to call strikes. 1t could recommend
sympathetic strikes"
Complaints have reached the union
headquarters at the Stoc6yardS from
several quarters that the local unions
are not supporting the stockyards
