German Proposes an Investigation il
Connection With Whole santo
Domingo Question.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March Ia
Because OF doubt OF the ratification of
the Dominican treaty. which was talk
ed OF seriously today for the first time,
the suggestion was made that@action
should be postponed until an investi-
CATION had been made of all the condi-
ton in Santo Domingo, including
the character of the claims and the
stability OF the Dominican government
and the force that be required to keep
1t intact. The proposition came from
the Democrats and credit for originat-
ms it is given to Senator German. II.
has not met with favor, largely be-
cause of the Indifference as to the fate
lcf the treaty was expressed by a mem
Der Of the Republican Senators.
The Affirmative and negative on the
treaty took a decidedly partisan bias
today. Teller, Morgan and other Dem
ocrats opposed the treaties and criti-
clZed the administration severely. The
attack was led by Senator Teller, who
asserted that the administration could
mot be blame!ess in permitting Com.
mander Dillingham; to exercise 50
much authority. Fanlt was found par
ticnarly with Commander Dillingham;
for his action in taking control Of the
