PROTOCOL IS
MADE PUBLIC
President Explains Position
on San Domingo
HIS ONLY POSSIBLE WAY
Other Nations Could Not Be Trusted
to Collect Money Owed Them
Monroe Doctrine Is
Upheld.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE Senate in
executive session yesterday made pub
lie the Protocol of an agreement be-
tween the United States and the Do
minican Republic, providing for the col.
lection and disbursement by the United
States Of the customs revenues Of the
Dominican Republic, signed on Febru-
airy A, 1905" together with the message
Of the President which accompanied its
transmission to the Senate
The President in his message says
that the condition in the republic OF
Santo Domingo has been growing stead
lily worse for many years, and foreign
countries have felt themselves aggriev'
ed because of the non payment of the
debts due their citizens.
"The only way" the President says,
by which foreign creditors could ever
obtain from the republic itself any
guarantee Of payment would be either
by the acquisition OF territory, outright
or temporarily, or else By taking pos.
session Of the custom houses, which
would, OF course, be taking possession
of certain amount of territory.
"The United States government could
not interfere to prevent such seizure
and occupation of Dominican territory
without either itself proposing some
feasible alternative in the way Of ac-
ton, or else virtually saying to Euro
pean governments that they would not
be allowed to collect their claims.
In conclusion the President says.
4 cali attention to the urgent need Of
prompt action on this matter We have
now great peace and stability in the
island, without friction or bloodshed BY
acting in accordance with the cordial in
vitation of the government themselves.
1t will be unfortunate from every
standpoint if we fail to grasp this OPP
lportunity, for such failure win probab.
| by mean increasing revolutionary vio-
lence in Santo Domingo and very posi-
bly, embarrassing complications in adj
dition.
"This proposal affords practical test
OF the efficiency Of the United States in
maintaining the Monroe Doctrine"

Pen Picture of Jesus.
lNew YOrk Pressl

The following is the only re-
liable pen picture of Christ as
seen in actual life, and is an ex-
quisite piece of word painting. 1t
is taken from Ms. now in pos
session of Lord Kelly and in his
library. 1t was copied from an
original letter of Publius Lentulus
at Rome. 1t being the usual Gus
tom of Roman Governors to ad-
wise the Senate and the people of
such material things as happened
in their provinces in the days Of
Tiberius Caesar, Publius Lentu-
lus, Procurator of Judea, wrote
the letter to the Senate:
There appeared in these, our
days, a man of great virtue named
Jesus Christ, who is yet living
amongst us; and Of the Gentiles
is accepted a. prophet Of truth.
He raises the dead and cures all
manner of diseases. A man of
statute somewhat tall, and comely.
such as the beholder may both
love and fear.
His hair of the color of a chest
nut full ripe, plain to his ears,
whence downward it is more orient
and curling and waving about his
shoulders. In the midst of his
head Is seam, partition in the
hair, after the manner of Nazar-
ties. His forehead plain and very
delicate: his face without a spot
or wrinkle, beautiful with a love-
ly red. His nose and mouth 50
formed that nothing can be rep
rehended. His beard in color
like his hair, not very long, but
forked. His look innocent and
mature. His eyes gray, clear and
quick and luminous. In reproving
he is terrible, his eyes piercing
a. with Il two-edged sword-the
greedy, the selfish and the OPP
pressor, but look with tenderest
pity on the weak, the erring and
the sinful. Courteous and fair
spoken. Pleasant in conversation,
mixed with gravity. 1t cannot be
remembered that any have seen
him laugh, but many have seen
him weep. In proportion of
body most eXcellent-a man for
his singular beauty surprising the
children of men.
