ir-law, Mr.. Jorge zalles. the secretary OF

pacities. Until he accepted the appoint
ment of minister to Washington he was
secretary of the treasury. His private bust
ness is that of n banker.
The minister speaks very encouragingly
of the conditions in his own country. At

ton and to secure further sum of 10000

Bolivia Il very complete system of railways
in connection with the lines which are al
ready built The original plan was to OBJ
tain the $4,000 900 in Europe and it was
understood that London capitalists expect
ed to supply It. The pc Icy. however, was
changed and Minister Calderon was directed
to come first to the United States and lay
the plans before American capitalists. The
minister will have conference on the sub
ject with New York bankers next week.

SAN DoMINGo's TROUBLES.
A Careful Watch of American Interests
Will Be Kept.

The State Department is greatly disap-
pointed at the revival of the revolutionary

and that the revolution had burnt out.
However. 1t Is said there will be no change
In the policy which our government has
pursued in treating with San Domingo; there
will be no Intervention. but only "a careful
watch over American interests and the
stationing In Dominican water of a suf-
ficent number of American naval vessels
to accomplish that purpose.
