TO AVERT COERCION
REPORTED EXCEPTIONS OF MINIS
TER DAWSON.
American Diplomatic Representative
Said to Be Acting Entirely
on His Own Initiative.

Reports haze reached Washington that
Mr.. Dawson u 8. minister to Santo Do
mingo. is engaged in an effort to make an
arrangement with the representatives there
of foreign creditor nations whereby coercive
action by European countries to secure the
payment of their loans from the Dominican
government may he prevented. or at least
postponed until the United States Senate
has had an opportunity to approve the
pending treaty with Dominica.
1t is stated here that in such an enter
prise MIR. Dawson Is acting entirely on his
own initiative, or at least he has had no
specific instructions from the State De-
partment to that end. That does not mean
that what he may accomplish Is likely TO
be disapproved. and, in fact, there is rea-
son to. believe that the administration
would approve some such arrangement,
though much would depend upon details
For instance, if It should appear that the
responsibility for it's application to the Do
mnican Frances Is clearly to be assumed
by the Dominican government and that
nothing more Is required from the United
States than mere acquiesence in the plan
which would not amount to formal engage
ments with foreign powers likely to excite
criticism on the part of the Senate, no good
reason is seen why Washington's approval
should be withheld
If it is proposed, however. to collect
through foreign agent, either the United
States or other nationality, the Dominican
customs dues, placing certain percentage
of them on deposit subject to disbursement
among the foreign creditors after the Sen
ate has had an opportunity to act on the
treaty, and providing this is done upon the
responsibility and at the instance of the
Dominican government itself the DISPOSE
ton here would be to regard 1t not as an
act of the United States. but as one of
President Morales and clearly within his
competency
1t is said that such an arrangement
would not apply to Puerta Plata and Monti
Cristi. where revenues are being diverted
now to the payment of the Santo Domingo
Improvement Company award, which. in
the view of the State Department, is be-
yond disturbance by any other means than
interference on the part of the United
States Supreme Court

Declines to Grant Further Hearing.

Commissioner mcfarland has approved
the recommendation of Commissioner West
that no further hearing be granted Private
Joseph F. Hile of the police department,
who has been recommended for dismissal
from the force by Mr. West. Attorney
Lambert on behalf of Hile appealed from
the action of Commissioner West, who de-
clined to concur in the recommendation of
the police trial board and Major Sylvester
that lille be fined $50.
Attorney Lambert states that in view OF
the action of the Commissioners in declin-
ing to give his client hearing he will
apply to the District Supreme Court for a
writ of certiorari on the ground that the
Commissioners, while possessing the privi-
lege of reducing or modifying the recon-
mendation OF the police trial board, have
no right to increase the penalty.

Post from Bloomington, Ills, says: The

perience and skill that any one who has
not been bred to It is likely to fail.
Since had this tall, with Mr.. Book J
have made some inquiries into the cost
OF tobacco farming It is enormous. Some
Of the farmers spend $500 m acre for
manure, fertilizers and tents. 1t costs
two or three hundred dollars to roof an
acre with mosquito netting or cheese
cloth, and there are places near Havana
where 5000. worth OF manure Is annually
put upon tobacco lands. Down In the
vuelta Abajo 1t costs in the neighborhood
.of IS, 900 q year to run n tobacco farm or
thirty three acres and 1T the crop for the
market. If the crop Is n good one. 1t
should yield a profit Of $4,000 or $4,000,
ana in some cases the yield is enormously
greater One Of the most successful farm
ers here Is Louis Marx, an American. who
has something like 1G0 acres Of shade to-
bncco, situated within a short distance
of Havana His receipts from his tobac-
co last year were something like $1,000
an acre, or in all, s217,00o How much
OF this Is profit I am unable to say, but
the farm must pay exceedingly WE'LL
Speaking Of the tobacco lands Of the
Vuclta Abajo, n curious Illustration OF
their value was seen In the recent extern
sion OF the Great Western Railway, which
goes down through PInar Del Rio When
this was planned It was found almost
Impossible to get the right OF way. The
farmers would not give up the tobacco
lands and one Of them agreed to let the
road cross his farm only on the payment
OF a good price and tho condition that he
should be allowed to scrape the soil TO
the depth OF one foot off Of that part
taken by the road. This was agreed to,
the railroad hauling in other earth TO
nllt up.. The tobacco soil is shallow, but
its constitution is such that with the
proper treatment It continues to produce
year after year.
