.SANTO DOMINGO AND
HAITI APPEAL TO ARMS
Rumor of Fighting on the Bor-
der CabIed to State
Department.

Rumors of serious fighting on the Dor
der between Santo Domingo and Haiti are
reported TO the State Department in a
cablegram dated yesterday from United
States Minister Furniss at Port au Prince
He states that the Haitian government
while denying these rumors. is sending
soldiers to the border. The Dominican gov
ernment alleges that Haitian troops under
Gen Ferdina nd fired on q Dominican guard
at Pedernales. The Dominican republic has
requested that the Haitian troops be
withdrawn Immediately, pending which
the Dominican government Is also send
ing troops to the seat of trouble. The
President of Haiti, however, looks for an
amicable settlement.
Rumor Regarding Collector Beale.
Mr.. Furnise refers to the old rumor
that Collector Beale had been killed in a
collision between the Haitian and Domini-
can troops at Comendador. That report
has been exploded by receipt of reports
to the insular bureau of the War De-
partment directly frcm Mr.. Beale of later
date than Mr.. Furniss' advices.

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras, December
30.-The rumors of political disturbances
real and impending. continue to reach the
capital from outside points. So far as
the government and the public here art
aware. they are baseless.
What the future holds in store is a
matter Of doubt. In Honduras, like her
sister republics. one can never tell wha
day may bring forth in affairs political
Up to today, however, there has been
no revolution, and there are no signs OF
an uprising. There have been no as
sassinations and no political imprisOn-
ments.
So far as known here the gunboat Ia
tumba has not sailed from Puerto Cortez
to give battle to the steamer Hornet. re-
ported to have been converted into a
revolutionary warship.
Congress will meet for it's regular ses-

MUST BREAK RECORDS
/ TO CONCLUDE TREATY
Canadian Commissioners Com.
ing Next Month to Discuss
Reciprocity.

If a Canadian reciprocity treaty is to
be concluded during the present session
or Congress, all records in the matter of
speed of negotiations must be broken.
The incentive to haste lies in the reali-
zation by the administration of the diff
hculty of framing any sort of a reci-
procity treaty that can safely be steered
through the next Congress with it's Dem
ocratic House. for although nominally
the assent of the Senate alone is re-
in the case of reciprocity trade treaty
the House of Representatives must be
afforded an opportunity to deal with the
subject.
The Canadian reciprocity commissioners
are expected III Washington in time to
attend the diplomatic reception at the
White House January ~. 1t is presumed
that Immediately after that event the
negotiations will be resumed at the point
where they were interrupted by the ad-
journment in ottawa last November AS
a matter of fact, not much progress was
made during the first meeting of the
commissioners. That meeting was con-
fined principally to exchanges of views
calculated to develop the positions of the
two parties. 1t will now be necessary
for the negotiatOrS 10 enter the realm
OF definite proposals for the remission or
abatement of duties on certain articles
which must be specified. for 1t is clearly
understood now that the State Depart
ment does not expect To secure in the
beginning complete reciprocity on all
products.
Including Sundays and one holiday, but
seven and a half weeks time will be
available before the expiration Of the
present session of Congress for reaching
an agreement upon the principles OF
recip1 ocity. electing the articles to be
affected, drafting the treaty and the pro-
jected legislation necessary to give 1t ef-
feet and securing congressional action
thereupon. 1t can readily be seen that
an. unexampied task confronts the ad-
ministration in this undertaking.
