 WASHINGTON, March 29.-Advices received from Monte Cristi via Cape Haitien, Haiti, on the northern coast of ihe republic of Santo Domingo, an- Rounce that General Barba and num- Der of Dominican exiles have landed at Monte Cristl and that the inhabitants have risen against President Morales.
 Down with Morales!' is the cry.
 The president is blamed for causing the present difficulties with foreign countries.
 It is added that the district of Monte Cristi is ready to begin a revolution in favor of President Jiminez and is only waiting the signal to take up arms.
 Announcement was made at the state department that a decision has been :eached regarding Santo Domingo finances by the terms of which con- missioners who are to be responsible American citizens designated by this government will collect the customs of the southern ports of the republic, de- posit B per cent of them in a New York bank, to be held for the different foreign creditors, and turn 45 per cent Dver to the Santo Domingo government itself.
 Assistant Secretary Adee has made statement of the proposed plan follow ing a conference between the president and Secretary Taft at the White House.
 The attitude of the United States government is shown in the following instructions given to Acting Secretary Adee by President Roosevelt:
 "I have carefully considered the fol- lowing cablegram from Minister Daw- son:
 Under pressure foreign creditors and domestic peril Dominican govern ment offers nominate a citizen of the United States receiver southern ports pending ratification protocol, four northern ports to be administered un- der the award Forty-tive per cent to- tai shall, go Dominican government, 8 to, be, deposited New York for distribu- ton after ratification. Creditors to agree take no further steps in the meantime and receiver to have full au- thority to suspend importers preferen- tial contracts
 "l direct that the minister express | acQuiescence in the proposal of the government of Santo Domingo for the 1 oolIo.t;op ou1 copcoryaf;Np of ite rovo- nues pending the action of the United States senate upon the treaty., to the end thtf in the meantime no change shall take place in the situation which would render useless its cOnsummatiOn or bring complications into its enforce ment. The secretary of war of the United States will present for nomina- tion by the president of the Dominican republic men to act in the positions re- | ferred to in both the northern and southern ports. The utmost care will , of course be taken to choose men of capacity and absolute integrity who if possible shall have some knowledge of Spanish. All the moneys collected from both the northern and southern ports not turned over to the Dominican gov ernment will be deposited ill some New York bank to be designated by the sec retary of war and will there be kept until the senate has acted. If the ac- tion is adverse the money will then be turned over to the Dominican govern ment If it Is favorable it will be dis ' s.~l ths, is, tion to their just claims under the trea- ty. Meanwhile Mir. Hollender will thoroughly investigate these claims. in | cluding the claim of the American I'm provement company, and will report in detail all the information he is able to gather as to the amount actually re- ceived by Santo Domingo. the amount of indebtedness nominally incurred. the circumstances so far as they are known under which the various debts were incurred. and so forth.
 With this purpose in view I direct that the proposed arrangement be ap- proved. It will terminate as soon as the senate has acted one way or the other"
 Intimations of projected movement l against President Morales of Santo Domingo fomented by exiles from that country have reached the state depart ment. The affair. however. is not giv- | ing the officials here any uneasiness. as they now feel free in view of President Roosevelts acceptance of the Domini- can governments proposition to con | trol the finances of that country to as- sist and, it is stated. will assist Presi- dent Morales if requested ny the latter in putting down any movement which is a menace to it's best interests.
 The district of Monte Cristi is known to be the hotbed of the revolutionists fin Santo Domingo. and it was believed Barba and his associates would head for that section. The navy department has several vessels in Dominican wa ters and under directions from the state department if requested to dc go by President Morales will lend its CO., operation in preserving the peace of the country. so that it's finances may te restored to settled condition
