Not Meet With Favor at Hands
of the Committee.

cussion in the senate committee on

hopes that a favorable report may be

pending, but none have yet been act
ed upon.

came apparent that the majority of
the committee was not satisfied with
Secretary of State Roots proposed
amendment, substituting for the pro-
vision that the United States should
be allowed to use force to preserve
order in Santo Domingo; another pro
vision limiting the intervention of the
United States to cases in which the
lives of the American collectors OF
customs were threatened. 1t was con-
tended that under international law
the right already existed to take ac-
ton to protect the lives and property
of Americans in foreign countries, but
that it was desirable that in this case
the right should be specified for the
United States to intervene to protect
the American collectors in the exer-
else of their functions. Senator Spoon
er proposed an amendment to this eff

submit at the next meeting
