The collection Of the customs Of the
Dominican Republic through the gen
eral receiver Of customs appointed by
the president Of the United States IN
accordance with the convention Of
Feb. =. 1907. has proceeded in an I'M
eventful and satisfactory manner. The
customs receipts have decreased owing
to disturbed political and economic
conditions and to a very natural cur
tailment Of imports In view OF the an
ticipated revision Of the Dominican
tariff schedule. The payments to the
fiscal agency fund for the service Of
the bonded debt of the republic, as
provided By the convention. have been
regularly and promptly made. and sat
isfactory progress has been made In
carrying out the provisions Of the con-
vention looking toward the completion
Of the adjustment of the debt and the
requirement by the Dominican govern
ment of certain concessions and mo-
nopolies which have been a burden to
the commerce OF the country. In short.

nomic and political conditions. to do
the work for which 1t was intended.

Now, happily, AZ the result Of the re-

to free from any strain those cordial
and friendly relations upon which both
set such store. have agreed by a proto-
