AIDING SAN DOMINGO

Santo Domingo, March 2s.-The visit
of Secretary Knox TO the Dominican
republic had a peculiar interest for
him, because it is here that the United
States is demonstrating what it can
do to assist a struggling republic if
given control of its customs.
There is no doubt of the great bene-
fit that has accrued the Dominican
republic through the American finan-
Gial occupation Not only is the
country steadily discharging its for
eign Obligations, originally estimated
a; $4,000 900, and meeting the inter
est on its loan from New York bank
ers, but internal improvements are be-
ing made and thus far the government
has been able to hold out against rev
olutionists. The only Dominicans not
wholly in sympathy with the arrange
ment seem to be those who protited
under the old order of things.
That some profted appears probable
in the light of the fact that the Do
minican republic is receiving greater
returns from its customs than ever be,
fore, after deducting SO per cent Of the
whole, which is applied to the payment
Of its debts and interest. This is due
in part, Of course. TO the adop,rUn OF
better business methods and a revision
of the custom rates inviting increased
imports and exports.
II is limited that frauds against the
government are still possible in the
matter Of the expenditure Of the money
turned over TO IT, and the construction
OF the new boulevard that stretches
west from the city seventeen miles
/ along the coast, at a cost OF $40, 900 pei
mile, is cited as an instance where
| the government did not drive a very
hard bargain. However, the boule
ward is a splendid improvement, afford
/ ing a delightful drive and has encour
/ aged the use of automobiles and
some thirty-fTe cars are now owned
I in Santo Domingo. The government
/ palace has been rebuilt into an ex
! cellent structure. and this, with the
boulevard and other improvements

the council of ministers to him one at
a time and forced the election of hi
uncle as president He made himself
minister of war, and having the sup
port of the army, has since ruled &C.
cording to common report, his uncle
being little more than a figurehead.
The relatives of the two Victorias have
been well taken care of in minor Of
fees, and this has given rise to the
prevailing complaint of Nepotism.
The assassination of Caceres is at
tributed by many to hatred of Fred
erico Velasquez, who, as minister of
finance. dominated the Caceres gov
eminent. Often appealed to to re-
move Velasquez, Caceres would reply:
81 will go down with him, first"
Since the assassination, Velasquez has
kept out of the country and until a
few days ago was in st. Thomas.

! Former President c. F. Morales is
one of the political prisoners held al
| the capital. Recently there is said to
have been a mutiny at the barracks
and 16 soldiers were shot. The most
hopeful view of the present situa
ton is found in the history of former
revolutions, for is said that these
movements had been successful usual
" within three weeks, if at all. The
latest disturbance has continued fol
two months without threatening the
capital itself.

has been made possible through Amer
lean financial supervision.
The weak spot in the convention,
according to some who took the oc-
casion of Knox's visit to express their
views, il that the American control is
limited TO the custom houses. There
remain the internal dues, stamp taxes,
liquor taxes and consumption taxes,
which if honestly administered, should
return about 100000 annually. These,
which amount to about 95 per cent
of the total income of the government,
continue under the control OF the Do
minican officials and furnish a loop
hole for the revolutionists, of whom
there are always a few at least
The theory of the American state de-
partment is that revolutions cannot
thrive unless the custom houses fall
into the hands OF the disturbers. Re-
move the sinews of war or make their
seizure impossible because of Ameri-
can control and the disuKrber is help
less. Peace and prosperity follow
logically.
The Americans, apparently, were
so anxious 10 conclude the financial
arrangement with the Dominican re
public that they took what they could
get at the moment Now it is a ques-
ton whether the internal revenues
are not sufficient to stake a revolu
tionary movement. 1t was pointed out
that there is nothing TO prevent q
rebellious leader pledging these in
comes for loan with which to finance
a revolution. If the pledge is made
I to interests inimical TO the United
! States or to bankers whose govern
ments are not in sympathy with the
Monroe Doctrine, so much the worse

Because OF the financial success and
