half OF the Republic OF santo Domingo,
said Mrs. Ella Rawls Reader. He can
substantiate my story in every particular
and I'm the absence OF Secretary Hay

"The santo Domingo negotiations by

Loomis. He himself went 10 Ssnto Do
mingo some time ago In connection with
them, and II he will break silence the
truth OF every assertion / have made
will be fully proved.
1T seems strange that my connections
with the negotiations should be attacked
at a time when Mr.. Loomis is away
from Washington. These attacks came
without the smallest warning, and they
could only have been made through a
shameful breach OF confidence.
Mr.. Cromwell and his friends seem
anxious TO distract attention from the
main issue. but when the proper time
arrives I <all have "a full statement
prepared which will answer all my ac-
cusers.

tlepent by a lawyer OF the highest stand
