RAISES PAY OF PRESIDENT
Dominican Ruler Hereafter Will Re.
ceive $1O,S0O a Year.
Members of the Cabinet and Con-
gressmen Also Profit by American
Administration of Finances.

The administration Of the Dominican
finances for the last two years by Ameri-
can customs officials has been so success
full that the President OF the Dominican
republic Will get a raise in pay. In the
future he win receive s10S0o instead OF
$500 per annum. which Is his present rate
Of pay. The Bureau Of Insular Affairs
yesterday received a copy Of the Domini-
can budget for the fiscal year 1sO7-0S.
which begins on August !. Il contained
the news Of the increase in the Presi-
dents salary It shows. moreover, that
the secretaries Of the several departments
OF the republic have also received sub
stantia1 increases in salary. The mem
bers of the Dominican Congress did not
forget themselves in the general increases
OF pay, which were generously bestowed
on almost all of the officials, including
many subordinate customs officers.
The budget for 1893 places the estimated
customs receipts at $4,000 For the
year ended July 81. 1917, the estimated
revenues were S2,5S0,O00, while tire actual
receipts at the various custom-houses
were S3.1S1.763. leaving an excess in the
actual over the estimated revenues Of
more than $4,000 If the past increases in
the revenue of the republic are MAIN
tanned for the coming fiscal year, the Gus
toms officials expect revenues amounting
TO about 100000 more than estil ated for
the corresponding period two years ago.
During the first year of the American re-
the receipts were $500, 154
Tn budget for next year includes 1854

The complete report of the board ap-
pointed to investigate the disaster on the
battle ship Georgia a week ago last Mon
day has reached the Navy Department
but no action has yet been taken upon t.
IN view OF the testimony adduced be-
for the board, there is still some grave
doubt as to whether or not the accident
actually was caused by a delayed flare
back, as the board reports, The board, in
its findings, said that the accident "appar-
entity" had been caused by a delay flare
back, due to the shutting of of the air
blast too soon.
Opinion Not Decisive.
Il appears from the testimony that one
officer made the statement that he had
gone into the turret several minutes af-
ter the explosion and had found the air
blast still on, and that he turned It of
HIMSELF also that the breech of the other
S-inch gun in the turret was not closed.
In view Of this fact, the opinion that a
bareback caused the accident is not de-
cisiye
The board makes several recommended
N4DA'of bNh NtaN ASFtst tAtNitt tip9 fAoh tA4A
time 10 consider these.
Relatives Ask for Body.
Relatives Of George Krelger, one Of the
victims OF the disaster, have asked the
Navy Department to have his remains
shipped to them in California. Kreiger is
the man who enlisted and was known in
the navy under the name OF George NIL
Ter. He said his home was in Memphis,
Tenn, and that he had no relatives.
He is supposed 10 have been the man
who had the powder in his hands at the
time it was ignited, and was one Of the
first 10 die.
Condition of Injured.
The following is the condition OF the
GeOrgia's injured, as reported TO the Navy
Department yesterday:
''Meese. Fone and Thomas had a rest
less night. and are extremely weak this
morning. Bush had good night; little
stronger this morning. Others doing well"

land Fraud cases Postponed.

Counsel for the government and the de-
Tense agreeing, the so-called land fraud
cases against Benson. Hyde. Dimond and
Schneider will not be called at the fall
term Of court, but probably in January.
The main reason for this action is the
fact that the District Attorneys office
has not sufficient funds to insure proper
prosecution Of the case. There are nearly
500 witnesses 10 be heard and to be pad,
and Congress at the last session allowed
only $1,000 for witness fees during the
current year.
