LACKING FACTS. TRY FANCY.

The admirable vindicatiOn of the Presidents
attitude toward Santo Domingo which 1.-The
Evening Post published in its Washington cor
|respondence yesterday is welcome ex-
posl1re of the vicious misrepresents tons which
have lately been current. From the lack of
facts" says 1.-The Post" dispatch, 'tbe most
fantastic arguments are built up on fancy" Pre-
cisely; such arguments. for example, as that in
negotiating with the Dominican Republic the
President was making "a treaty with chaos"
that the pending treaty was designed partly to
perpetuate the power of Mr.. Morales and partly
TO give post facto justification TO
President RooseveltS arrangement with
Santo Domngo that the present disturbance in
that island was a revolution against the gov
"ernment and the Domnican-American fiscal
convention: and that the programme of the
new government there would be to tear up the
treaty, terminate President Roosevelt's ar
'rangement' and call for the delivery of that
.sl 600 O00' which has been collected and is held
in trust in United States bank for the islands
creditors.
Now. mark with how plain tale "The Posts"
Washington correspondent sets these things
down The existing arrangement" instead of
being device of President Ro0sevelts is "a
decree of the Santo Domingo government
made not as an agreement between it and this
country Our government is not responsible
for it, and is not concerned in it at ALL save to
the extent of giving an army officer leave of alb
sence and permission TO enter Dominican en-
ploy temporarily. just Major Symons is per-
mitted TO enter the employ of New York State
in its canal board and Major Gillette to enter
the employ of the city of Philadelphia for some
municipal purposes. The idea that by thus
lending these latter two officers the President
is trying "to dominate the New York or phila-
delphia situations would. ''The Posts dis
patch well says be laughed out of court. So OF
course, should be any suggestion that he is try
Ing to dominate Santo Domingo or that he is

The rights of alien labor should. no doubt, be

cause they have never before worked under that

tions
The same correspondence also makes 1T quite
clear that the arrangement and the pending
treaty were not in the least designed to bolster
up the power of Mr.. Morales, and that the treaty
is in no wise an attempt to secure belated ap-
proval of any former act of President Roose-
velts, the two being entirely distinct and d1f-
ferent. Neither we are assured by the same
authority is the present disturbance reyolu-
ton or an overturning of the government which
made the arrangement" and negotiated the
treaty President Morales has fed but the gov
ernment remains undisturbed Nor does 1t ap-
pear that the slightest hostility is being mani
tested toward the pending treaty, or the slight
est inclination TO "tear it up On the contrary,
the correspondent repeats with approval the tes-
timony given to him few days ago by Colonel
Cotton that 1.-The entire business element or the
republic is strong in support of the pian' that

which they are based have hitherto repeatedly
been set forth in the columns of The tribune,
