Authority for this step was given
by Preadent Taft after a conference
with Acting Secretary Of the Navy
Beekman Winthrop between Wash

car on which the president was re-
turning to Beverly. Acting Secretary
of State Huntington Wilson and viii.

of the necessity for immediate action
in Santo Domingo.
With the marines will 60 Brig. Gen.

sular bureau, and Mr.. Doyle, as spe-
cial commissioners, to make an in
vestigation Of conditions in San Do
mingo, particularly on the border be-
tween that country and Hayti, where
the revolutionists have been most
active. The Prairie will arrive at the
island about October 3, and the plans
for the disposition Of the marines
will depend entirely upon conditions
existing at that time.
Under the Dawson treaty Of 1907
between the United States and the
Dominican republic, the United States
Is responsible for the collection and
distribution Of San Domingo's GUS

accomplished peacefully, but rebels
operating from Hayti, have now clos,

Whatever force that may be neces'

orderly operation. Officials here be,

of the determination Of the United
States government, the rebels will Of

even be found unnecessary to disem'
bark the marines.
But If there should be any sign
of resistance the force will be landed
ON the north and south coasts and
marched directly inland over the wag'
