that any action that is taken will be at
the request Of the Dominicans. Care
will be taken TO avoid the slightest
semblanCe of Eratuitous or imperial
istic interference by this country in the
affairs Of a Latin-American republic.
There is reason to believe that the fac
tions in Santo Domingo have already
approached the State Department with
a request for assistance.
So far the administration. through
Minister Sullivan. has given vigorous
support TO the existing government,
and this policy will be continued. If
the United States can arrange II the
present government will be continued
until It is legitimately overthrown at
the polls, and no government that
comes in on any other basis will re
ceive American recognition.
Through the American reccivership
Of customs, by which the United States
has complete control Of the customs
revenues, this government is in
peculiarly good position TO enforce it's
demands that the theory Of constitu-
tional government be observed. The
Dominicans. however. are not people
with whom il is easy 10 deal They are
far more warlike than the average OF
Central American revolutionists. and
their battles among themselves are
noted for the heavy percentage Of
casualties. A Dominican fight usually
results in about three-quarters Of the
men engaged being killed or wounded
Officials who were on the spot tell Of
an incident several years ago which
illustrates the feeling prevalent con-
corning American forces. Several hun
dred United States marines were In a
transport outside the harbor Of Santo
Domingo City. The American Min
ister T. c. Dawson, thought that the
marines should be brought inside the
harbor and up the river 10 Santo Do
mlngo City. Consequently, eighteen
boatloads were ordered in. They went,
fully armed, into the harbor and were
put aboard some small American gun
boats.
When the marines started toward the
harbor the entire population assembled
on the waterfront, armed, as one off,
cial described It, with everything from
gas pipes to a machine gun. The ma
rines did not land, as the American
authorities did not think ii necessary
for them 10 do so, and 10 this day the
people Of Santo Domingo City are fully
convinced that this was because they
were afraid.

American Government Pledged.

James NJ. Sullivan, American MIN
lister to Santo Domingo, has been
taking an active part in the precarious
situation. and has virtually pledged the
American government TO see TO il that
the coming elections shall be free and
honest. In so doing he has given the
Department of State large contract to
fulfil.
As was announced in these dispatches
recently. Mr.. Sullivan, on his arrival in
santo Domingo, told the leaders of the
then impending revolution that the
government Of the United States had
adopted a new policy, which was not TO
recognize any government founded on
revolution and the overthrow Of con-
stituted authority. He said that revo-
lutionists would be considered by the
United States as nothing more than
brigands and bandits and that this
government would advise the Domi-
mean government TO take the same
view Of affairs.
Mr.. Sullivan said that the receiver
ship Of customs. which is virtually an
American institution, would withhold
from the revolutionists the customs re-
ceipts. He also preached TO the Domi-
means the doctrine Of freedom Of
speech. and it is said here that the
Dominicans who recently got involved
in armed conflict with the federal gov
eminent did so as a result Of exer-
cising a freedom Of speech. which did
not meet the approval Of the authori-
ties
Secretary Bryan was asked about the
developments in the situation this
afternoon. He would not tell the de-
tails Of all that is contemplated. He
said that this government was trying
to assist the government Of Santo Do
mingo in the matter. but that he could
not 90 further than that.

Mayor-elect John Purroy Mitchell has en-
ioyed his sightseeing i'm ;he West Indies
and Central America. OF course. No doubt
it has done him a world Of good. But he
is still restless and has shown impa-
thence over routine doing Of points Of
interest. What he has been longing for
has been some sport in the way Of tarpon
fishing and hunting
Mr. Mitchell spent several hours in the
hot sun trying to hook a tarpon in Kings

him. At his request W r. Mullins, gen.

"He seems to like tiger" came back rhe

the cattle district. The climate there is
said TO be wonderful. The next day they
are going TO San Jose. and may be enter

But the latter IS uncertain. Mr. Mitchell
| has shown a dstastc for formal enter

has asked that all formal entertainment
be done away with as much a. possible.
lie has shown a disposition 10 do what
the spirit moved at the moment. He holds
IL 10 he the only way to get a complete
rest. For instance. some Of the Pana-
mans have seemed Grieved because he
did not call on President Porras. But he
is not travelling in an official capacity
and his time has been more than taken
up. The President sent his private car
riage TO the station ON Sunday morning
To meet the first train in after the arrival
of the Tenadores at Colon. But the
Mitchell party came on later train.
The Tenadores locked at o'clock. Inn

seuting Colonel George W. Cocktails.
Governor Of the Canal Zone, went aboard
To place himself at the service Of Mr..
Mitchell. Also. there was delegation
from the knights OF Columbus. who
wanted to give a dinner in his honor. The
dinner was sidetracked at once. Mr..
Mitchell. however. was persuaded TO 20 10

vice had been arranged for him. Among
those who escorted him was Governor
Arcia of Colon.

Talked Police with Goethals.

Mr. Mitchell was interested TO discuss
the police situation in New York with
Colonel Goethals, who has made a repu-
tation as wonderful organizer and ad-
ministrator. as we'll as engineer. Colonel
Goethals, who has been mentioned as
possibility for Police Commissioner, has
repeatedly said he would not consider ii
for a moment Mr.. Mitchell does not in
tend to offer any place 10 any man UNI
less he is first sure of mis- acceptance.
For that reason no offer was made 10
the colonel. OF course, Mr.. Mitchell would
be glad to get man Of his ability. How
ever, he is said to have other plans when
the work on the canal is done at last.
Mr.. Mitchell did discuss with Colonel
Goethals the capabilities Of some OF the
latters subordinates. Mr.. Mitchell is now
weighing in his mind the wisdom OF pick
ing a man TO head the police from out
side the city. If he decides IT 10 be
good thing to do an army man trained
bv Colonel Goethals is well within the
range OF possibilities.
Colonel Goethals is somewhat familiar
with the police problem in New York IN
a general way lie believes no man can
make success as Police Commissioner
unless he has absolutely an untrammeiled
hand. and then he cannot accomplish
much without long term IN which 10
work.
Mr.. Mitchell will not attempt TO take
nm consideration OF his other appoint
ments until he is on his way back to New
York.
The last day and half Of the Mayor
elect in Kingston were busy hours. Fol
lowing the breakfast with Governor
Manning, Mr.. Mitchell took an automo-
bile ride almost to Newcastle. the army
most on the side of the mountain. The
road is steep, zigzagging up with many
harpin turns where only foot or so
keeps the machine from dashing over
the side OF the cliff. a prominent citizen
of Kingston wanted to entertain Mr. Nit
chel and his party at a tea on the grounds
of the Constant Spring Hotel.
