MORALES FEARS
A GAME OF GRAB.
santo Domingo at Powers Mercy
Owing to United States
Neglect of Treaty.

San Domingo, March 23.-News Of
the postponement by the United States
senate of action on the treaty with
Santo Domingo makes the situation
acute, and an internal uprising seems
| to be imminent, based on the cry that
President Morales has been discredited
in the United States.
A sugar importing firm Of New York
has filed formal complaint that a
ship loaded with sugar is held at Aqua
pending the payment of a 10 per cent
export tax, which the Dominica govern
ment abolished in December, 1908 It
is thought the solution of the problem
may be that the rebels have secured
control of the port of AZua.
pared to put down any revolution, but
that a more serious matter in his mind
is foreign complications, growing out Of
| Belgium s demand, presented Tuesday.
/ Belgium wants the customs receipts of
port of Santo Domingo to the extent
of $25,883 month, according to a
former agreement, on which no pay
ment has been made for three years.
This first demand is construed as di-
between the United States and Santo
Domingo.
Looks for Trouble.
President Morales expects similar
demands by other foreign powers, which
he will be helpless to resist. President
Morales says: -
1t is entirely possible that the United
States may have to send an ultimatum
here, on account Of the Dominican govern
ment's being unable, tho not unwilling, tc
meet its obligation 1t is utterly impos-
sible for the government to pay the sums
due foreign nations unless the United
States can procure from \foreign powers
a postponement of their demands. Other
wise these demands will be pressed ]
have no physical or moral force to resist
them. With the customhouses in the COM
troll Of the United States, the resources
Of the island will develop speedily and
all demands will be paid, with the result
that the country will be educated to peace
and permanent prosperity. + w.
Grab Game Expected.
With two Dominican ports now in the
hands Of the Unite States. and the
failure Of the treaty, Dominicans be-
powers will begin at once. An italian
cruiser was here few days ago, but
withdrew to Kingston. The American
gunboat Castine is here with $50 men;
the cruiser Chattanooga is at SANTANA
bay, the Detroit is at Puerto Plata
and the Dixie is at Monte Cristi. Rear
Admiral Sigsbee has gone to Guam
tanamo for a consultation with Rear
Admiral Barker.
President Morales has about twelve
hundred men under arms ready to crush
the first internal uprising,- but should
the customhouses be seized, he speedily
would be without funds with which to
pay his army, which would Immediately
desert.

CHARGE AGAINST ALBERs.
American Accused Of Insulting the
President of Nicaragua.

1t appears from information received from
the Nicaraguan government by the Ameri-
can minister accredited to 1t that Mr.. Will
lam c. Albers has been arrested at Jalapa,
Nicaraugu, charged with having opposed
the local authorities in their efforts to give
effect to the return of a writ, thus commit
ting criminal action.
1t is stated that Mr.. Albers in his excite
ment preferred grave insults against the
President of Nicaragua. He was arrested
instituted criminal suit and ordered that
the district to be tried according to the
laws of the country.
Mr.. Albers was allowed to name a lawyer
to defend him and the Nicaraguan govern
ment asserts that If the charges are dis
proved, he will be set at liberty. In the
meantime, 1t is stated that the authorities
at Jalapa have been ordered by the presi-
dent of the republic to guard the property
of Mr. Albers and to lend all assistance to
his wife.
At the instance of Acting Secretary
Loomis Minister Merry at San Jose, Costa
Rica, has been making further inquiry into
the case of William c. Albers, an American
citizen. imprisoned in Nicaragua. The min

cess and with threatening to shoot gov

ident of Nicaragua. Albers wife, who was
reported to have disappeared in the COM
motion following her husbands arrest, is
reported by Mr.. Merry to be on her way

to bring about this much-desired peaceful
settlement of the war In the far east than

FEARS RESULT AT HOME.
DR.. Asakowa Says All Unofficial Japa-
nese Are Disappointed.


Dr. Asakowa, professor of oriental history
at Dartmouth and the author of work on
the causes of the present war; has been at
the Wentworth for several days watching
the course of events He said last night:
IT am frank to say that l am disappoint-
ed. All of the unofficial japanese feel as I
do. Perhaps l am more hopeful than the
rest 1 realize that the Japanese have won
everything which they went to war to gain
and while we were entitled to indemnity
and Sakhalin, continuance of the war
would have meant only fight for territory
and treasure. In addition to all that, We
have won prestige The world seems to
have forgotten that before the war Japan
was hardly reckoned with as a powe-. and
that she comes out of the war first-class
power. AS for the money, we will get il
back in increased trade. There Will be
great era of national expansion.
Nevertheless, I fear the result at home.
If we are disappointed here, who have fol-
lowed the negotiations and know how hard
our points have been won, what will be the
effect when this Is suddenly sprung on the
nation? 1t may mean the downfall of the
elder statesmen. 1t will certainly mean
grave upheaval in Japanese politics.
But the fact remains that Japan has not
only saved her national existence, but has
leaped from obscurity into national power.
And this war will not have to be Tough,
over again, as was the China-Ja parese
war"
The Japanese are all depressed. They
are sitting about the Hobbies talking it over
in whispers, and they refuse to be congrat-
ulated. The best they will say is that they
are glad the war Is over. The Russians, on
the other hand, act like victors and are
shaking hands and drinking toasts to the
emperor. The universal feeling among dip
lomats. guests and correspondents is that
Russia has won great victory.

ceipt Of News.

ceipt Of News.
President Roosevelt was sitting at his
desk at Oyster Bay yesterday debating
some instructions to Secretary Loeb. The
telephone bell rang and Mr.. Loeb got up
to answer the call.
"What?" he eagerly inquired as the mes
sage was given him.
The message was repeated.
He manifested SO much excitement and
increduHty that the President inquired:
What Is it?''
"It is announced in an official bulletin
from Portsmouth," replied Secretary Loeb,
that the plenipotentiaries have agreed on
all points of difference and will proceed 1T
once to negotiate treaty of peace"
THAT Is fine-splendid!" exclaimed the
President.
"But"-as a doubt passed through his
mind-"do you think it is authentic?'
TT is a perfectly definite statement" Mr..
Loeb responded.
Good. Good" the President declared.
The President did not conceal his pro-
found qualification at the successful issue
of the Washington conference, the initia-
tive of which had come from him, and his
feeling of satisfaction at the outcome per-
meated the entire encourage of Sycamore
Hill. 1t a joyful family party that
assembled a few minutes afterward.
While the President did not seek to con-
ceal his profound qualification that the
conference had reached agreement he
said he felt obliged under the circumstances
to refrain from any formal expression re-
garding the work accomplished until he
should have been informed fully as to the
details. 1t can be said however, that he
feels that the successful issue of the con-
ference is a great triumph for humanity
and civiliZa ton.

"JAPANEsE GENEROSITY"
j. w. Foster Lays Peace to That and
Roosevelt

THE outcome Of the peace conference
was not so much a triumph of Russian
diplomacy as 1t was generosity and far
sightedness on the part Of Japan" said
ex-Secretary John w. Foster. at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel last night. There wouldn't
have been any peace at this time but for
President Roosevelt" continued Mr.. Fos-
ter. He Is entitled to the gratitude Of
the entire world for taking the Initiative
In bringing the nations together. I fully
expected that after the ENJOYS got together
they would not return to their respective
governments until they had agreed upon
peace terms. but think no one expected SO
prompt a settlement
When asked about the probable course
of Russia, to which country he was once
United States minister, Mr.. Foster said:
II am inclined to believe that the war
and its results will be a good thing for
Russia. 1t was an unwise thing for her to
reach out to the Pacific with the idea Of oc-
cupying eastern Asia with an army. White
saw it was a mistake and did what he
could to prevent it. Now that it has turned
out disastrously, Russia will turn her at
tention to internal improvements, and that
will be the best thing possible for that
country to do. The emperor is a good man
and will do the best he can, but It is not
easy for the Emperor of Russia to have his
own way 1t is for the President OF the
United States to have his way.
Japan could have kept on and smashed
the Russian army. The people and the
army of Japan will be temporarily disap-
pointed at the peace terms. but the emperor
and his advisors are wise in effecting peace
at this time Japan's resources very
limited. Put all her tillable land together
and it does not equal one-third the area of
Illinois. Russia's resources are almost I'M
limited. The Japs are brave and magnifi-
cent fighters, but they are not grasping.
They will after a little see that peace is
godsend to them. l was invited by the
Emperor of China to assist in arranging
peace between China and Japan after the
war ten years ago. After We had arranged
terms l noticed that Japan was happier
over It than the Chinese themselves.

SHAW CoRREcTs CUMMINs.
Says Latter Charged Him With State
ments He Did Not Make.

Another chapter in the controversy be-
tween Secretary Shaw and Governor Cum
Minis of Iowa growing out of statements in
a speech of the former was added last night
when Secretary Shaw made public the fol-
lowing:
WASHINGTON, August 20, 1905
MY dear Governor Cummins: have seen
a copy OF your letter of August % as pub
lished, in which you justify quoting me as
saying that the Senate had refused to con-
slider the French treaty because 1t gives
everything to France and nothing to the
United States, by an excerpt from an edi-
toral comment on my remarks, in which 1t
Is stated that / demonstrated that we were
offering France a tremendous bargain and
getting practically nothing In return.
You take several positions in your letter
in which 1 cannot concur. l do not agree
that public men are bound by editorial COM
ment, however friendly. Neither do l agree
that expression of opinion, however
erroneous. is violation of the prophecies
of debate. / expressed however, no opinion
whatever concerning the French treaty in
my Des Mones talk, as you would have
observed had you read the report instead
of the editorial comment thereon. I did
state three uncontrovertible facts, and dis
missed the subject. ] stated that by the
terms of the French treaty We agreed to
admit seventy kinds of French merchandise
at less rate of duty than we collect upon
the same kinds of goods coming from any
other country, and expressly consented that
twenty kinds of American products should
pay a higher rate when sent to France
than was charged on the same kinds of
goods from several other countries
stated that favored the ratification of the
French treaty, which 1 certainly should
not had / thought 1t gave everything to
France and nothing to the United States,
as you quote me as saying. l also stated
that some senators thought II unwise to
discriminate against the country of our
principal market in favor of any other
country. AS you do not take issue with
any of these propositions, what l regard as
hasty statement in your letter., that
violated the proprieties of debate, when at
the most you attribute to me an opinion
with which you take issue, / forgive with
out your asking 1t. doubt not the balance
of your speech was more carefully con-
sidered. Certainly the subject was more
worthy of consideration than any statement
l might have made or any editorial COM
ments thereon.
Very sincerely.

WAR PARTY ANGRY.
Rest Of Cars People Expected to We'll
come Peace.

COluc 6cdCc.
A cablegram from st. Petersburg last
right says: The news of the peace agree
ment did not reach here until o'clock this
evening. 1t speedily circulated by word OF
mouth and was received with general in
credulty.
1t is no exaggeration to say that 1t pro-
duced dismay in official circles and amaze
nent to the general public Not for mo-
ment had 1t been expected here that Japan
would abandon all her essential demands.
Not for a moment have the members of the
war party believed that peace was a pos
sible outcome of the conference. Their at
titUde tonight is one of furious evaporation
as of people who have been trcked into
false position.
The plans Of the government are COM
pletely upset by the sudden change in the
situation. The reactionaries talk chiefly OF
future revenge against Japan, but they are
more Immediately concerned by the vital
effect Of peace upon the internal situation
and the resulting confusion in all the gov
eminent plans.
There is even rash talk of sending Gen.
Linevitch's army Immediately against Con-
stantinopletin order to prevent the return
of the troops to their homes to foment revo-
luton, and for the purpose also of retriev-
ing the military prestige of the empire.
There cannot be the smallest doubt that
the country at large will welcome peace
with the utmost enthusiasm now that an
indemnity has been abandoned and the ter
rftorial sacrifices will be mere trifle. Rus
STA, outside of official circles, is only too
glad to settle the issue with Japan on the
basis Of a drawn battle. The public salts
faction is still further increased by the dis
comfiture of the war party.
Less than an hour before the news of the
agreement arrived the ministry of foreign
affairs gave out a statement to the effect
that it would be impossible to reach a set
Element through the Introduction Of an ar
bitration commission to fix the valuation
Of a recession of the northern part of SAX
hahn. 1t was declared that all such prof.
ects would be declined, because they con-
tanned the principle of a money payment

MOST HAPPY RESULT.
Opinion Of Baron Won Dem Busschs
Of German Embassy

Baron Won Dem Bussche, secretary of the
German embassy and charge d'affaires in
the absence of Ambassador Won Sternburg
declared asst night at Lenox Mass, the
outcome of the peace negotiations at Ports
mouth "a most happy result" He added:
Everybody in the world must be thank
full for the restoration of peace in the first
place, and to President Roosevelt, whose
unself1sh efforts in the cause of humanity
brought the two fighting nations together
in order to consider the possibility of peace
and with helping hand prevented a break
Ing off of the negotiations and led them to
the harbor of peace. l am sure that few
persons will be better satisfied with the
result of peace than the German emperor,
who stood at the side of the President when
he tried to bring the parties together, and
who followed the Presidents noble work
with keen interest and sympathy"
