Santo Domingo To-day and To-mor'
row.

Exact figures regarding Santo Do
mingo and its affairs are not to be had.
The republics system ofstatistical tabu-
lation ia even worse than its system of
official bookkeeping
The Republic of Santo Domingo occu-
pies little less than two-thirds of the
island which COLUMBUS discovered on
Dec q, 1892, and to which he gave the
name Of Hspaniola. It's area is approx
imately 1900 square miles, or a little
more than twice that Of New Jersey. Its
neighbour, Haiti, covers an area little
greater than that of Vermont, or about
10000 square miles The present popula-
ton of Santo Domingo is probably about
100000, although some authorities esti-
mate it as high as 100000, chiefly negroes
and mulattoes
During recent years the imports Of
Santo Domingo have been between
81 900 and S3,00o,00o a year and the
exports between s3,OOO,OO and little
more than 100000. The exports con-
sist of sugar about $4,000 tons, tobacco,
coffee. cocoa mahogany, logwood and
bananas The imports are those of
tropical countries in general.
Financially, the republic is utterly
bankrupt It's outstanding obligations
approximate s3a 900 900, and its total
revenues obtained chiefly from import
and export duties, would just about pay
the interest on its debts, leaving nothing
for administration An increase in in
ternal taxation is little short of impos-
sble Import duties are already exorbi-
tant An increase in or even a continual
ton OF the present export duties seems
quite impoltic Adjustment seems pos
sible only through an increase in impor-
tation or a scaling of the debt. The
remedy is easily stated though it can
probably be applied only with great
difficulty 1t lies in stable government
based on established peace and profit
able industry.
An honest handling Of nsular receipts
and the limitation of expenditures TO a
sum provided and fixed by honest finan-
cal administrators would simplify but
would not solve the problem Solu-
ton can be reached only through indus
trial activity and permanent peace
Should il become necessary for the
United States to 20 TO the very root Of
the matter, an opportunity will be pre-
scented for an interesting experiment
in the government of a temporary de-
pendency, In Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines we have devoted our time
and attention to political institutions, to
education and TO alleged sanitation,
leaving the industries of those islands
to take care Of themselves Should our
experience in Santo Domingo reach such
u point. it would be possible 10 try the
establishment of sound economic insti-
tuition. which some have held 10 be the
logical and proper course.
Santo Domingo is capable Of main
tanning population of 100000 But
unless there be peace she cannot main
tain her present one-sixth of that
number An honest cashier may patch
up her affairs for a short time. but her
solvency, 10 say nothing of her pros
perty. will depend upon more radical
measures

FEARS EXCAVATION MAY
CAUSE BUILDINGS COLLAPSE
Charles Cnrpy Obtains Injunction Re-
straining Work at Stockton
and Geary Streets.

Superior Judge Murasky yesterday is
sued an order restraining Emma Gates
Butler and the Hawaiian Engineering g
and Construction Company. co-defend-
ants from further excavations on the
lot situated at the corner of Stockton
and Geary streets. The application for
an injunction was filed yesterday by
Charles Carpy, who owns a building on
Geary street, adjoining the lot where
the excavations are beng made.
Carpy alleges that the excavations
are dangerous to his building, which is
valued at over 100000, and says that
unless supports are placed or a re-
straining wall built there is danger
of collapse. The cost of a restraining
wall, he estimates. will be about $4,000
and asks the court to award him such
relief as it thinks proper The plain
tiff further alleges that the depth of
the excavation alongside his building
is S31s feet, and claims that that depth
is excessive.

CAPTAIN C|LL|N
PASSES AWAY
Career of Retired Officer
of Police Closed After
Years Of Great Suffering
DIES AT A HOSPITAL
Infiammatory Rheumatism
DIES AT A HOSPITAL
Infiammatory rheumatism
and Injury From Chinese
Deviltry Cause His Death

James w. Gillin, retired captain of po-
lice, died at the Lane Hospital yesterday
morning after long and painful illness.
He was a sufferer for many years from
inf1ammatory rheumatism, which COM
PEELED him to retire from active duty
while yet in his early manhood.
Gillin was a native Of New York He
was born there on May 8, 1852. He start
ed out in life as a druggist and was in
that business when he joined the police
force on December II, 1879. He was pro-
NOTED as sergeant on October l. 1883.
When the Mission. which had been part
of the Southern district, was made an
Independent district Gillin was promoted
to the position of captain and assigned
to it
Shortly after his promotion as sergeant
he met with a serious accident while In
charge of the Chinatown squad. He was
q terror to the gamblers and they laid a
trap for him Broken boards were placed
across space of about ten feet on the
roof between two houses. gambling
game was started in one Of the houses,
and Gillin climbed to the roof to effect
an entrance by that means and surprise
the gamblers. He stepped on the broken
boards and fell to the ground. He was
seriously injured and was laid UP for sew
eral months. He was never the same
man physically afterward.
About a year prior to his retirement
on a pension, on October 7, 1901. Captain
GilIin was unable to attend to his duties.
He was always hopeful that he would be
fit for duty again, but finally had to re-
luctantly admit that his active days were
numbered
Gillin was an able and conscientious Of
ficer and had the full confidence of the
Chief and the Board Of Police Commits
sioners. The breath of scandal never at
tached to his name, officially or socially.
He was strict disciplinarian, but at the
same time just to his men. Above all, ne
was a loving and considerate son, and his
widowed mother, who lives at 3l512 STEIN
er street, was always first in his
thoughts He remained bachelor, and
often said he would mover think of mar
rying as long as hissmother was alive.
Captain Gillin had four brothers con-
nected with the force, directly or indi-
rectly. John, while a special officer in
Chinatown, was shot and killed by
crazy Chinaman in 1891. Joseph succeed
ed him, but resigned on December y,
1902 He in turn was succeeded by Frank,
who resigned on October IL, 1904. Peter
was a regular officer, having been ap-
pointed in 1896. While chasing a thief his
revolver dropped from his pocket and the
bullet shattered his ankle. He was re-
tired on a pension through disability on
November Is, 1902.

Haw She. a Chinese woman who has
a. hairdressing establishment at SAT
Dupont street. obtained a warrant from
Police Judge Fritz yesterday for the
arrest of Lew Gew on Il charge of grand
larceny. She alleges that Lew Gew
called at her place on August to have
her hair dressed and nails manicured.
While doing so a Chinese called and
handed Haw She a package containing
$3.50, which she put in a drawer. She
had occasion to leave the room for a
few minutes, and when She returned
Lew Gew had disappeared and the
package had also disappeared from the
drawer.
