clined to show special consideration
to claims of Russia's French allies;
hut American propositions also are

REBELLION CAN BE sUBDUED

San Domingo, March 23.-News
of the postponement by the United
States senate of action on the treaty
with Santo Domingo makes the stu
alton here acute and an internal up
rising seems imminent, based on the
cry that President Morales has been
discredited in the United States.
Morales states that he is prepared
to put down any revolution, but that
D more serious matter in his mind Is
the foreign complications growing
out of Belgium's demand, presented
March 81.
Belgium wants the customs re-
ceipts of a port of Santo Domingo,
to the extent of s25,SS3 a month, ac-
cording to former agreement on
which no payment has been made for
three years. This first demand is con-
strued as a direct result of the fail
ure of a treaty between the United
States and Santo Domingo.
Morales anticipates similar de-
mands by other foreign powers
which he will be helpless to resist.
He says he wants to pay all the
republics debts, but sees ruin of the
country with every port in the hands
of a different foreign power and no
revenues for the government.
In an interview Morales said:
at is. entirely possible that the
United States may have to send an
ultimatum here on account of the
Dominican government being una
BILE, though not unwilling, to meet
its obligations. 1t is utterly impossi-
BILE for the government TO pay the
sums due foreign nations unless the
United States can procure from the
foreign powers postponement of theii
demands. Otherwise these demands
will be pressed. have no physical or
moral force to resist them"
With the custom houses in control
of the United States the resources of
the island will develop speedily and
all demands will be paid, with the re-
suit that the country will be educated
to peace and permanent prosperity.
With two Dominican ports now in
the hands of the United States and
the failure of the treaty, the Do
minicans believe grab game by
foreign powers will begin at once
The American gunboat Castine is
here with $50 men; the cruiser Chat
tanooga is at SANTANA bay, the De-
troit is at Puerto Plat and the Dixie
1t at Monte Cristi. Rear Admiral
Sigebee has gone to Guantanamo for
consultation with Rear Admiral
Barker.
With the seizure of Dominican
ports by foreign powers 1t is argued
here that the Monroe doctrine will
be nullified as regards this republic
With the United States in possession
of two ports It would not be logical.
II is argued, to oppose seizure of
other ports by foreign powers.
At the same time Morales only
hope Is that In some way the United
States can insure a postponement of
seizure by Europeanpowers No steps
to this end have been initiated here.
No reply has yet been made to
Belgian demands.

IMPORTANT MEETING
Between Secretary TAFT and President
Hill Of the Great Northern.

Washington, ID. O., May Am i'm
portant conference was held this af-
ternoon between Secretary of War
Taft and President J. J. Hill Of the
Great Northern. The discussion was
mainly in reference to proposed rai,-
road construction in the Philippines
but 1t included Panama railway mat
ters relative to trans-contincntal rail-
road rates.
Mr.. Hill suggested that the govern
ment extend guaranty to only few
proposed railroads in the archipelago,
but the secretary's objection was that
unless the guarantee cover all projects,
bidders would agree TO build railroads
that would never pay merely to secure
the guarantee.
Mr.. Hill advised that only standard
guage lines be constructed. The sec
retary decided that he would ask for
an alternative bid, holding that the
capitalists interested would be in a
better position To- know what they
wanted than the government would.
