WASHINGTON, April An International
Commission, Of representatives. Of the
creditor nations Of Santo Domingo, will,
In all probability, be appointed some time
this summer for the purpose Of adjudicat-
ing the claims against the Dominican Gov
eminent, This commission will proba bly,
meet soon before the Senate convenes
next fall.
II Ia certain that all creditor nations will
not readily acquiesoe In President Roose-
velts action in sending Prof. Jacob II.
HonAnder to Santo Domingo 10 investigate
all claims and few II any Of the countries
will be willing 70 accept Prof. Hollander's
conclusions. OF course tho conclusions
Of Prof Holander cannot be made binding
on the United States OF any foreign govern
ment.
1t was announced to-day that a tribunal
would be selected 20 go over the various

in Santo Domingo City. The findings will
be final and will be the basis for the settle
ment OF the claims against Santo Domingo
regardless OF the action Of the United States
Senate. II the Senate refuses TO ratify
the treaty the conclusions Of the 90 mmis-
sion will be used by the various creditors
in pushing their claims.
There IL no doubt in the minds OF Govern
ment officials here that some Of the claims
against the Dominican Government have
been greatly inflated and that a thorough
investigation and readjustment will result
In a great cutting Of the total indebt edness
OF So, OOO, 900
The State Department has not been In
formed Of the objections reported to have
been offered TO the new arrangement by
the elgian creditors. II they have made
a protest against the proposed arrange
ment Minister Dawson will report It to the
State Department as soon as he Is informed.
In his original telegram TO the President
outlining the proposed modus vivendi Min
lister Dawson indicated that the French
and Belgian creditors had not acquiesoed
IN the schsme, but said that the representa-
tives Of these creditors had recommended
that the plan be adopted. Since then
Minister Dawson has sent nothing to show
that France and Belgium had agreed to the
mOdus.
The French and Belgian creditors are
holders Of $4,000 900 worth Of bonds, which
constitute what Is known as the foreign
debt Of the republic. They have It secured
by a convention signed in 1901, which slip
uIated certain periodical payments. In
case these payments failed, the customs
receipts Of the ports Of Santo Domingo
CITY and MAooris we're to be applied. The
creditors have never been able to make
collections.
Col. A. @. Cotton, who has been made
chief collector Of customs in Santo Do
mingo, will leave Washington early next
week and will probably take with him the
other collectors who have been appointed,
Minister Dawson has not responded 10 the
State Departments inquiry relative TO the
salaries Of the officers.

The protest rests on the conviction that

represents methods that are oppressive and

of the association which his name, In view

question Is one Of the moral prestige and
power Of the Church.
IAN the confusion arising from the literal
use Of the figure tainted money may be
thrust aside at once. Money is impersonal,
it is not tainted and cannot faint morally.
The moral element lies in the men who make
and give money and in their methods Of
getting IT, and only in relation to these men
and their methods can the Church suffer
moral damage.
Though their money gained by fraud
