DR.. HoLLANDER At

Raitimorean Explains to President
Roosevelt Result Of His Mission
to San Domingo.

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Dr. ia.
cob H. Hollander, who was sent to
Santo Domingo by President Roose-
welt as a special commissioner to
make an investigation Of the fiscal
affairs Of that government, had ar
extended interview with President
Roosevelt. Later DR.. Hollander took
luncheon with the President, continu.
ing his discussion of his inquiry at
that time. He told the President he
had found perfect acquiescence on the
part of both the officials and thefpres.
ent government and of the people Of
Santo Domingo in the arrangement
which had been entered in between
the two governments. rhe revolution,
s~o.called, had not, in his opinion,
amounted to much, and just now there
was not eventa% suggestion Of internal
trouble. So far as his observations
went DR.. Hollarder- could see no rea-
son why the present status should
not continue uninterruptelly until a
new and more definite arrangement
could be effected.
He is TO return to Santo Domingo
II September to complete his inquiries,
and will then make an elaborate re.
port upon Dominican finances and
claims, which the President will sub,
nit to the Senate for its guidance in
acting upon the pending treaty. His
investigation so far has been direct
ed into the diplomatic history Of the
claim of the San Domingo Improve
ment Company and others of the kind
and into the fiscal resources of the
republic.
