Watching American Interests.

Although American interests ana Gus
toms and other officials on the island
are considered by the State Department
TO be safe. there is evidence that this
Government does not intend to take any
chances, as indicated by the rapid move
ment of cruisers and gunboats back into
Dominican waters.
Several weeks ago a number of the
warships that had been lying in the
neighborhood of Monte Christi were
called northward. presumably on ac-
count OF the action desired of the Sen
ate on the Santo Domingo treaty. Last
Friday and Saturday, however. the few
vessels OF Rear Admiral Bradford S

enforced by other vessels TIL now there
are nearly a dozen cruisers and gun

Went After Facts.

Judge Calhoun was sent 10 Caracas
by President Roosevelt on a special
mission TO find out the real facts with
regard to the controversies between the
United States and Venezuela. which
were threatening the peaceful relations
of the two countries. He was especial
" commissioned TO investigate the
claims of the New York and Rernnudez
Asphalt Company, and the Critchfield
claim.
The issues ia these cases had been
so befogged by the personal animosi-
ties Of former United States Ministers
Loomis and Bowen. and by misrepre-
sentations Of the facts. that 1t was
impossible for the President to decide
upon a line of policy At one time. the
State Department had gone so far as to
threaten Venezuela with an uIt1matum
which. II it had been sent, would
probably have resulted in hostilities
