SATISFIED WITH

Cullom Thinks Senate Will
Indorse President.
Illinois Statesman Says President s
Action Is in Interests of
Peace.

Senator Cu1lom, chairman of the Sem
ate Committee on Foreign Relations,
called upon Secretary of War Taft yes
terday for the purpose of acquainting
himself with the recent developments
regarding Santo Domingo affairs
Senator Cullom expressed himself
after his interview being we'll sat
isfied with the situation. and said that
ii was his opinion that the Senate
when 1t met again would not hesitate
10 approve of what the President had
done and would promptly ratify the
pending treaty. which puts fiscal af-
fairs Of Santo Domingo in TIE hands Of
the United States.
Senator Cullom said that L appeared
TO him that the Presiden. had acted
wisely and done only that which was
essential under the circumstances He
pointed out that the urgency of the
case was we'll exemplified by the prompt
| action taken by both Italy and Belgium
in sending warships to Santo Domingo
and renewing their claims as soon as It
became known that the treaty had not
| been ratified by the United States SEN
ate.
In Interest of Peace.
| MOI only had international cOmplica-
| tions been ayerted by the President s
action, but the Senator said 1t was
| manifest from recent dispatches that in
| ternal revolutions would have occurred
in Santo Domingo had not the hand of
! the United States been manifest. The
Presidents action had therefore been In
| the interest OF peace, and he was CON
Yinced that when the facts became
| fully known, the Senate at its next ses-
( sion would indorse his course and rati-
| fy the treaty.
Senator Culiom was convinced that
this would be he case, especially be-
cause, during the interim, until the
Senate has u chance to act on the
| treaty. the collection of the Santo Do
| mingo revenues will remain In the
hands Of the government of that coun.
try, although President Morales has
chosen to avail himself of the services

and not of the United States
They will be paid by Santo Doming,
