CHANGES IN THE PROTOCOL.
Instructions Cabled to Minister Daw-
son in San Domingo.

Instructions have been cabled from wash
ington to Mr.. Dawson, United States minis
ter to San Domingo, looking to the amend
ment of the protocol signed In that CITY on
January q providing for the administrator
of the customs of the island by the United
States. The changes to be made in the
original protocol provide for the omission
of some of its features and the addition OF
some matter the purpose of the changes
being to make perfectly clear If possible,
the limitations upon the responsibility as
sumed by the United States from political
point of view. 1t is believed that the effect
of the amendment of the protocol will be to
make 1t acceptable to a considerable ele-
ment in the Senate and the public press of
this country, which has deprecated any in
reference in the internal affairs of the Do.
minican republic as likely to involve the
United States in future trouble with the ma
tons of the world. Actually, it is hoped by
the officials that the amended document
can be regarded as embodying no departure
from the well-established principles govern
ing the relations between the United States
and the sister republics of this hemisphere.
1t is expected that the new protocol will be
ready for signature in the course of day
or two.

WILL VOTE FEBRUARY z.
Agreement Reached in the Senate on
the Statehood Bill.

The Senate yesterday afternoon agred to
vote on the joint statehood bill before ad-
journment on Tuesday the 7th of Febru-
airy, the amendments to be considered on
that date under the ten-minute rule 1t
is by no means certain how many states
will be admitted to the Union under the
agreement reached yesterday. There are
prospects, however, that Oklahoma and
Indian territory will come in as one state
and that New Mexico will come in as an
other. leaving Arizona as a territory, Sem
ator Beveridge, chairman of the committee
on territories, who has charge of the bill,
comedies that in its present form there is
no hope for it's passage. He says that his
desire now is to give statehood to the mil
lion and half people of Oklahoma and
Indian territory at this time, and that
later Arizona and New Mexico will be adj
Tnfted as one state.
1t is said that several members of the
committee on territories have decided if
they fail to defeat amendments to the bill
to support the Foraker amendment which
to that planned by Its author. The For
aker amendment provides that either New
Mexico or Arizona by a majority vote
could defeat the calling OF constitutional
convention of the territories to provide for
their admission, instead of requiring a ma
jority of all the votes of both territories
combined. Members of the territories COM
mittee are of opinion that the people of
the territories, even Arizona, when face to
face with chance to come in jointly as
one state or remain as territories for an
indefinite period would vote to come In as
one state.
