A Mountain of Debt.

IN 1905 the public debt was $33,000o COO
while the actual receipts of the republic for 1904
were less than 81, 100000 That this debt was morally
speaking largely unjust debt, beside the qucs-
tlop here 1t debt to which the republic was
committed. Most Of it, moreover, due not to
Domincans but to foreigners-the subjects of pow
erful nations, Among these citizens of the
United States. One American corporation had claims
adjusted by arbitration reaching S4,5oo0o0, and
quiring under the award of the arbtrstors monthly
tomhouse of Puerto Plata to be turned over
TO American representative, with subsidiary liens
on three other Dominican ports. France and Bel
eium had somewhat similar rights with respect 10 the
ports of Ssnto Domingo and Macors, Germany,
surrendering customhouse to a creditor for the
satisfaction of his claim likely to tempt
others like advantages. aud tho friction thus
likely to develop made the possibility of serious
import TO the United States and unthipkahle the
Dominican republic.

piration Of the time limit in the last promise given
to France and Belgium for beginning payments and

tion of the rights csimcd by subjects Of the Italian
