REGARDED WITH FAVOR.
Santo Domingo Natives Appreciate
Uncle Sans Domination of Affairs

NEW YORK, February 9.-The action OF
the United States government in taking
charge of the customs receipts of Santo
Domingo is generally considered by the
natives of Santo Domingo as for the best
interests of the country, according to Judge
John T. Abbott who arrived here today on
the steamer Cherokee.
Judge Abbott Is the representative Of the
San Domingo Improvement Company, and
since last April has been in charge of the
customs house at Puerto Plata under
agreement with the Dominican government.
Speaking of conditions in Santo Domingo
Judge Abbott said today:
1.-THE United States government took
charge of all the ports of Santo Domingo
on February /, except Puerto Plata and
Monte Christi The former l still have In
charge while the latter is administered by
natives. All the money Is turned over to
the United States authorities. This ar
rangement is viewed with satisfaction by
the large majority of the natives repre-
senting the influential business interests
and the landed proprietors. In fact there
is very little talk anywhere about the mat
ter. The revolutionary element is not much
in evidence 1t is generally considered that
this action on the part of the United States
is for the best interests of the country

line and proceed southwark on 14th street
northeast, 18th street northeast, Bunker

and Duncan streets to Rhode Island avenue
to 10th street, thence on 10th and Wallace
streets, Brookland, to Bunker Hill road,
thence to 18th street, connecting with the
double tracks at that point. This act re-
ouired the road to be completed ana cars
running thereon within two years from the
date of its passage, that is, March q, 1901.
The Commissioners say that on two sub
seouent occasions Congress granted extern
sions of time for the construction OF the
road, bringing the date up to March l. l9Oo
The bill under consideration proposes 10
extend the time until February ], 1907. In
common ing on this bill the Commissioners

spect which Germans love to show to their
old men.
His quaint figure. about five feet tall,
with hat, cravat and dress suggesting tho
fifties, was known to most Of the people Of
Berlin, for he was often in the streets
walking for pleasure and observing people.
He sat in a certain restaurant almost
every evening, until last Friday. for an
hour or two, taking a glass of wine and
walking home. MenZel's work. even TO
within the last five years. was regarded az
very good, and he worked every morning
until taken ILL.,
He was often mentioned as the frst artist
to receive the highest Prussian decoration.

present emperor, who held him In mucn
esteem.
BY order of the emperor the body or Won
Menzel will be buried here in the rotunoa
of the Old Museum of Art.
