this country To- embark on the proposed
programme that the Secretary clearly in

their views. There Is considerable DISPOSE
ton among Senators TO believe that the
report Of the special commission sent to

HoILANDER'S 800. ooo-In making pub
ic to-day statement of the financial af-
fairs OF Santo Domingo under the customs
administration OF the United States. the
fact was also made public that Santo Do
rningo has paid fee Of 100000 TO Jacob
Hollander Of Baltimore, who went TO
SSrf0 Domingo at tNe lDSUdHCe OF lIr

services by the United States. 1t is not
unavoidable that a resolution will be
adopted in the Senate calling the De
rartuent Of State for some explanation Of
the transaction.
sANTO DOMINGO'S FINANCES.-The
complete success of the arrangement en-
tered into under the treaty with Santo
Do,ninso is demonstrated by the statement

the five years ending with March 81, under
the administration of American receivers,
s. sol 600 has been segregated from the Gus
toms receipts 10 liquidate the Indebtedness
OF the republic, which is less than half the
total revenue from customs, but which ex-
ceAds by approximately 100000 the total
customs receipts for the five years proceed
ing the American administration On Ianu-
airy I Santo Domingo put into force new
tariff law which is expected greatly 10
enhance the customs receipts for this ana
