REVENUES OF SAN DOMINGO.
President Accepts the Responsibility
Imposed on Him by the Do
,ninican Government.

President Roosevelt has accepted
the proposition of the Dominican
government, made through Minister
Dawson, for the control of the IL
nances of"that republic, with a We"
to setting aside a portion Of the reve-
nues of the republic for the payment
OF it's debts.
The officers who will collect the
money and hold it will be appointed
bv the Dominican government, but
they will be nominated by this gov
eminent.
The attitude of the United States
government is shown in the following
instructions given to acting Secretary
Adee by the president:
II direct that the minister express
ac~ouiescence in the. proposal OF the
government Of Santo Domingo for
the collection and conservation OF its

revenues, penLing the action OF the
United States senate upon the treaty,
10 the end that in the meantime no
change shall take place in the sltua
ton which will render useless its con-
summation or bring complications IN
to enforcement. The secretary OF wal
OF the United States will present for
nomination by the president OF the
Dominican government men to act
in the positions referred to, in both
the northern and southern ports. The
utmost care WI, Of course, be taken
to choose men of capacity and a6so-
lutte integrity, who, if possible, shall
have some knowledge Of Spanish. All
the moneys collected from both the
northern and southern ports, not
turned over to the Dominican govern
ment. will be deposited in some Ne"
York bank to be designated by the
secretary of war and will there be
kent until the senate mas acted. IT the
action is adverse, the money will then
be turned over to the Dominican gov
eminent. If it is favorable it will be
distributed among the creditors IN
proportion to their just claims unoe
the treaty.. Meanwhile Mr.. Hollar-
der will thoroughly investigate these
claims.
This action is rendered necessary
bv the peculiar circumstances OF the
case. The treaty now before the
senate was concluded with Santo Do
n7ingo at Santo Domingo's earnest
request. repeatedly pressed upon us
and was submitted to the Senate be-
| cause in my judgment it was otte duty
TO our less fortunate neighbor to re-
spend to her call for aid, inasmuch as
we were the only power who coulo
give this aid, and inasmuch as her
need for it was very great. The treaty
is now before the senate and has been
favorably reported by the committee
on foreign relations. 1t is pending
and final action will undoubtedly be
taken when congress convenes next
fall. Meanwhile Santo Domingo has
requested that the action above u
lined be taken; that is, she desires IN
this way to maintain the status quo
so that if the treaty is ratified 1t can
be executed.
with this purpose in view | dlrec'
that the proposed arrangement be ap'
proved. 1t will terminate as soon a.
the senate has acted one way OF
the other.
