As to Triple Alliance.

London, March 2S.-The Daily Tele- graph this morning editorially returns to the subject of peace negotiations and the question of the common inter- ests of Great Britain, Japan and the United States in the Far East. The newspaper thinks that though such a triple alliance is eminently desirable, the Monroe doctrine would prevent America from allying herself with Ja- pan, but that as far as Great Britain and Japan are concerned, there is noth- ing to prevent a permanent offensive and defensive alliance. which The Daily Telegraph contends might induce Japan to forego indemnity and which by placing at Great Britain's disposal in India the service of Japan's fine troops would forever remove the apprehen- sions of Russian invasion of India The Daily Telegraph further says that such a treaty, which would date from the conclusion of peace, would with the moral support of the United States be- hind 1t. be a guarantee of the preser- vation of peace in the Far East, the open door in China and the develop ment of trade for all nations in the Orient. Russia herself. the article says, would reap advantage in her enormous empire, which only requires explora- tion and development

Japanese Consider That Place as Their
 Objective Point.
 St. Petersburg, March 2S.--(2:30 a. m )-The impression prevalent in some military circles that the Japanese hav- ing removed the possibility of the main army in Manchuria assuming the ini- tiative and will now turn their atten- ton to the next objective point of the war, Vladivostok, Is strengthened by the Associated Press dispatch from Gunshu Pass announcing the with drawal of the Japanese from the im- mediate front of the Russian army for a distance of thirty-five miles south. It is realized. of course, that this may be merely a blind to cover f1anking op- erations. but 1t Is not improbable that the Japanese, having cleared Southern Manchuria of Russian troops and se- cured a position from whence expul- sion would be long and difficult pro- cess, may be satisfied to hold the Tie Pass line without further extension of communication.

Venezuelan RevoIutiopists,

Correspondence of the Associated Press-Trinidad. March 19.-Curacao has ceased to be the headquarters for Venezuelan revolutionists and they seem to have centered their activity in this island. It Is rumored here that financial assistance has come to the enemies of President Castro and that Parides is the leader chosen to hear the movement.
 Although persons familiar with the situation and the strength of Castro's resources believe no revolutionary movement will be effective. still the ac- tivity of the revolutiopists is a source of constant annoyance to him and they seem to be stronger now than at any time since the close of the Matos rev. olution.
 Generals Ria and Panlosa. the for mer who lived in Curacao. are now in this island cooperating with General Parides. All of these officers fought in the Natos revolution and have good war records. Parides is only about thirty-five years of age and Is reputed to be an able leader.
 officials in Caracas have been much disturbed by tho rumOrs of activity in Trinidad and the French coast ca- ble recently was cut to prevent the revolutionists here from communicate ing with their party in Venezuela and on the island of Curacao.
 Castro has increased his military forces in Caracas to 2,000. The coun- trv districts have been drawn on for soldiers and within three weeks the number of troops in the Venezuelan capital has been raised from 500 to its present strength.

 Nation to Pay Its For eign Debts.
CAUSES GOOD IMPRESSION

Washington, March 27-Mr. Dawson, the American Minister at San Domingo, has cabled the State Department to the effect that the Dominican govern ment has had before 1t for considera- tion several plans for the satisfaction of claims of foreigners, and to tide over the hiatus caused by the failure Of the Senate to act upon the Domini- can treaty the Dominican government has about concluded to install foreign agents in the custom houses to collect revenues, forty-five per cent of which are to be applied to the maintenance of the government and the remaining fifty-five per cent to be placed on de- posits subject to disbursement among the foreign creditors in the future af- ter the Senate has had an opportunity to again consider the treaty.
 This proposition was the subject of conference at the White House to- Taft. Senator Lodge, Senator Spooner and Acting Secretary Adee, but it was stated no conclusion has yet been reached.
 It Is not quite clear from Mir. Daw- sons dispatch what part he has played in bringing about this agreement but it is gathered that it has not yet been consummated and it is certain that he has not signed any formal undertaking binding his government. It is proba- ble that further information will be required as to the details before it is approved here.
 MT. Dawson's calblegram seemed to indicate to the mind Of the officials here that the proposed arrangement for the collections of customs revenues by foreign fiscal agent would apply only to the ports not covered by the artitral award of the case of the San Domingo Improvement Company. name ly Puerto Plata. Monti Cristi. Sanchez and Samana. The minister's report was to the effect that two foreign creditor governments have not formal ly signified their willingness to enter into the agreements though their agents have done so. The San Domin- go Improvement Company's representa- tives have declined to express any opinion as. to the acceptabi1ity of the agreement, though this may be because that they do not feel that the compa- ny's interests are involved, theiP ports being excepted.
 It was said at the close of the day that the point now at issue. was wheth- CT or not the President may legally designate a fiscal agent to collect these island revenues and the decision on that point is expected within a day or two.
