MARINE ENGINEERS.
Second Day of Beneficial Association
at the Ebbitt House.

The second day of the session of the
thirty-ffrst annual convention of the Marine
Engineers Beneficial Association was called
to order at o'clock this morning In the
parlors of the Ebbitt House with a large
number of the delegates in attendance. The
committee on credentials having passed
upon the credentials Of those entitled to
seats in the convention the temporary or
ganiZation was made permanent. President
Jones called the convention to order, and
after the short routine of usual business
had been dispatched, several announcements
of minor Importance were made by Secre-
tary GrubbS.
Shortly after the members of the conven-
ton began their deliberations various mat
ters of business which involved different
points of law, and also the betterment of
the members of the association among the
marine engineers of the country came up
for deliberation. AS the various members
presented the matters for the consideration
of 'the convention each subject, upon mo-
ton, was referred to the proper committee
for investigation. 1t is more than probable
that the committees will reach decision
some time during this afternoon and will
make a report to the convention tomorrow
morning.
In a statement to a Star reporter this
morning Mr.. George A. Grubbs of Chicago,
the secretary of the convention, said that
it was more than probable that the conven-
ton will not get down to real work until
some time tomorrow morning, when the
be taken up FOE consideration.
These matters refer to the making of bet
ter regulations in the states relative to the
marine engineers, and 1t Is the purpose of
the members of the convention to- formtl-
late certain laws and legislation which they
deem necessary for the benefit of the asso-
citation
There has been a large attendance at each
session, and a lively interest has been dis
played by the delegates in all of the matters
which have been brought before them for
their consideration The sessions are held
behind closed doors, and only matters Of
Importance that the delegates deem wise for
the public to know will be given out by
those in charge of the organization of the
convention.
During the deliberations this morning the
delegates resolved themselves into small
groups to discuss the various matters of
business that had been referred to the COM
mittees. In this way they learned much of
the needs of the engineers IN different sec
lions of the country and were prepared to
act when the various matters Of legislation
pending before the committees were report
ed to the convention for action.

CHURCH THIEVES BUSY
VISIT CHURCH OF THE COVE
NANT AND ST. THOMAS.

Burglars who are making a speciality OF
cash, as stated In yesterdays Star, visited
the Church of the Covenant at 18th and N
streets and st. Thomas Church, at 18th
and Church streets, last night. 1t is be.
lieved that they found only small sums Of
money in the boxes in the churches.
At the Church of the Covenant an en-
trance was effected by using a jimmy on
the door on the n street side of the struc-
ture. After entering the church they used
the steel instrument on the desk drawers
and boxes and caused considerable damages
They used the church Bible as lever and
greatly disfgured the covering. Finding
but small sum Of money the intruders
took away the bicycle belonging to Rev. Dr..
Teunis s. Hamlin, the pastor Of the church,
The silver communion service was found
by the robbers, but was not disturbed
The steel instrument was also used by the
burglars for the purpose of efecting an en-
trance to St. Thomas Church. Their con-
duct in the latter church was about the
same as at the Church of the Covenant
Being disappointed at not finding a large
sum Of money, they found the communion
wine and consumed it. Detectives visited
ton, but failed to find anything in the ma
ture Of clue.
Maj. Sylvester gave the matter his per-
sonal attention this morning and offered
reward Of 500 for information leading to the
capture Of the men. Nothing has yet been
committed thefts at st. Marks, st. James
and Trinity churches Sunday night. The
stolen bicycle was Abandoned on Pennsyl-
vania avenue about o'clock this morning.

forever, and that he promised to do.
Caceres Is now in power, and has con-
sented to the continuance OF the nlodus

among the politicians who drove Morales
out, and others whose graft has been cut
off. The friends of Morales and the GUS
toms officials blame Admiral Bradford for
the overthrow of the government. They
say that he should not have attempted to
send his sailors out for exercise when the
situation was SO delicate. If he had not
done so, 1t is claimed that there would have
been no revolution. and Morales would not
have been deposed and banished; but the

Heureaux's Fiscal Arrangement.

During all of these years. especially in
the period from 1887 to 1897, while Heureaux
was dictator an enormous public debt has
been incurred for military purposes, for in
ternal improvements that were never made
and for various other uses. This debt now
amounts to s33, 1896, 295, which is more than
$54 per capita of the entire population, and
exceeds, by several million dollars the
total taxable wealth of the country. In
1897 President Heureaux entered into con-
tract with the Santo Domingo Improve
ment Company a New York corporation,
under which the outstanding public debt,
which then amounted to nearly $40 600,
was to be assumed by that corporation, and
the company was to have the collection of
the revenues until the obligations were
wiped out In the meantime from the rev.
enues thus collected the government was to
receive 40 per cent for current expenses.
The company, composed of New York cap
italists, succeeded in funding twenty mil
lions of indebtedness into what Is known
as the unified loan," and issued new
bonds, drawing per cent interest, In ex-
change for the old ones to the amount of
SCI, 1880, which covered all outstanding
obligations and accrued interest. The reve-
nues of the government from customs were
pledged to the liquidation of this debt the
custom houses were placed in charge of
agents of the company. and rs per cent
of all the money they collected was to be
deposited to the credit of the bondholders

This arrangement continued until 1901
when President JimineZ who had obtained
power by revolution, took the collection of
the revenues out of the hands Of the i'm
provement company and practically repu
dated the contract made with 1t by his
predecessors. The United States remon
strated, and a controversy followed which
was concluded by the negotiation of a
treaty under which the claims of the COM
pany were to be submitted to arbitration.
An award was made in January, 1904, in
favor of the company to the amount of
81, 100000 At the same time the company
was required to surrender to the Dominican
government per cent bonds to the value
of 81, 1913, 2T0. The government was to as

award the company was to receive 1916, 100

the company, the government has stub

In the meantime, a succession of revo-

BY WILLIAM e. CURTIS.

Written for The Star and the Chicago Record
Herald.
Perhaps it may be good idea to throw
little light upon the Santo Domingo con-
troversy by a statement of facts. That
island, which is one of the richest spots on
the footstool, and capable of producing
enormous crops of every tropical staple, has
a population of only $4,000 inhabitants,
nearly all negroes and mulattoes and is
therefore called the BLACK Republic" 1t
has a very small area-only about 1900
square miles. or twice as big as Maryland
and only small portion of it is under cul-
tivation.
Since the republic (so-called) was founded
in 1874, 1t has had stormy history, includ-
ing war with Spain, and several years
occupation by the Spanish army, which
evacuated the island in 1885. At that time
the leading citizens attempted to arrange
for its annexation to the United States
General Grant. while President regarded
the proposition favorably, and sent COM
mission there to make an investigation, SO
as to give him and Congress advice. The
annexation idea was antagonized by~Charles
Sumner, Carl Schurz, Lyman Trumbull, and
other prominent republican senators, and
was the chief cause of the split in the re-
publican party which led to the nomination
Of Horace Greeley in 1872.
States, and left to govern themselves, the
people OF Santo Domingo have done just
what the Filipinos would do If they were
given their independence They have been
in almost continual turmoil, which has kept
them poor and has depleted the population.
The government has been under the control
of succession Of ignorant and dishonest
politicians. whose ruling motive has been
to enrich themselves from the public reve-
nues and enjoy what glory they could get
out of the authority and power of the
presidential Office. Although there have
been twenty-five or more different presi-
dents during the last forty years, nearly
all of them have obtained the office by force
and conspiracy, and have lost it in the same
way. Santo Domingo has a constitution
copied from that Of the United States,
president and a congress, and an electoral
college similar to ours, all elected by uni
versal suffrage, but there has never been
an honest election in the country, and SO
far as constitutional government is con-
cerned, the history of the island has been
a CHASTITY farce.
