DOMINGO RAT|ffS The TREATY
UNITED STATES LEGALLY BE.
COMES FINANCIAL TRUSTEE
OF REPUBLIC.

Santo Domingo. May 8. The new
treaty between the United States and
Santo Domingo, intended to replace
the treaty which has been pending be-
fore the United States senate for the
last two years, was ratified by the Do
minican congress yesterday
The Dominican treaty marks a new
departure in the relations of the Unit
ed States TO the smaller republics of
the Western hemisphere, for in the
case of Santo Domingo the United
States now becomes legally a trustee
in financial sense, and must go so
far in the preservation of order and
the accompanying encouragement of
revolutions as is incident TO the con-
troll of the custom houses.
Originated in Revolution.
The treaty really had its birth in a
revolution. While the American gov.
eminent was pressing for a settlement
the claims of its citizens in December,
1904, President Morales, beset by rev.
olutionists, in the hope of securing the
moral support of the United States,
entered into an agreement with Capt.
Dillingham; of the American navy, by
which the Dominican custom houses
were 10 be occupied by the Americans
and tie foreign Indebtedness of the
country discharged from the receipts.
Rejected at Washington. this agree
ment gave place March 81, 1905, TO n
modus vivendi which has operated up
to this time. This placed an American
collector in charge and provided for
the deposit in New York of 50 per cent
Of the customs receipts for the benefit
of the Dominican creditors.
Morales Is Not Saved.
The modus vivendi did not save
Morales from political destruction, for
he was deported by the revolutionists
and his vice president Gen. Caceres,
installed as president. But the modus
vivendi led to the deposit in New York
Of SO, 900, 900, which will now be placed
TO the credit of the Dominican govern
ment That government has had more
available money since the establish
ment of the modus vivendi than at any
other time in it's history. 1t also finds
itself in possession Of four fine coast
guard cutters built in the United
States.

ASSAULT ON AMERICAN NEGRO

ARREST OF POLICE AND
SOLDIERS.

Puerto Coriez, May 5.--A negro for
merly from Boyce Station, La, named
General Davis, and now a fruit in
spector for the Thacker Brothers
line, was brutally beaten at La Laguna
by Nicaraguan soldiers and police. Da-
Wis was talking with three other Amer
lean negroes and was set upon because
he would not tell the police what they
were talking about
Physicians were called and within
ten minutes the bluejackets of the Ma
the spot.
Takes Prompt Action.
Commander Fullam's orders were
sharp and decisive:
Arrest the chief of police and the
policemen engaged in the assault, put
them in irons and send them aboard
ship; arrest the Nicaraguan officers
and men engaged in the assault and
hold theIl for orders"
1t was thought possible that an at
tempt would be made TO release the
soldiers and police captured by the
bluejackets, SO men were landed from
the Paducah to occupy La Laguna and
additional men were landed from the
Marietta.
The Paducah moved to a position
fronting the Nicaraguan cuartels,
while the Marietta covered the Guar
tells in the port.
FuIIam Is Energetic.
Commander Fullam, finding that the
civil authorities were incapable of
maintaining regulations or order; that
the government of Tegucigalpa was
mere provisional agreement of certain
leaders that so far gave no evidence OF
stability, decided to ignore the author
tiles and recognize the only organized
and disciplined force here under Gen
Estrada.
The Nicaragua officers and men
were therefore delivered by order to
Gen. Estrada, who was advised that
they would be held responsible.
viii Punish Guilty.
Notice also was served on the Hon
duran and Nicaraguan authorities that
reparation would be demanded.
Commander Fullam says that IL Da-
Wis dies the perpetrators will be tried
for murder, presumably by court-mar-
tial and the guilty ones hung at the
yard-arm in front of the port. The
Paducah was ready to sail for Ceiba
and Truxillo, but will now remain
here.
