two visits to the Capitol to-day. The
first preceded his call At the White House

In the morning the Governor appeared
before the House Committee on Foreign

that the intended Increase OF the amount
of water to be withdrawn for power pur-

OF New York and that the disposition Of
the entire amount should b. subjec, to

TO RECOGNIZE GEN. ZAM0R.

ably Get washington's Approval.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.--Following the
election yesterday of Gen. Orestes Hanior
as Haytfs President the situation III i"r'
au Prince liz reported quiet. The only re-
naming cause for anxiety Is the attitude
of senator Theodor, who is himself cam
didatc for the Presidency. Thcodor mas
established himself at Cape Hayden
whore he has set up a PROVISIONAL gov
eminent. He threatens 10 march against
Port au Prince. 1t is reported. however
that Theodor Is short Of money for am
munition aud that In consequence MS
forces are dwindling away.
There IL now but little doubt that the
Wilson Administration will recognize the
Iamor government, despite the Presidents
declarations against those who seek 10
further their own political ambitions ana
interests. The circumstances Of Ianors
election were almost Identical with those
of the election OF Huerta In Mexico.
II is also considered likely that the
Administration will recognize the Bcna-
vides government in Peru, which came
into power through a military coup d'etat
last week There Is now every indication
that wherever possible reasons viii he
found for granting recognition in such
cases az those of Peru and Hayi In the
interest of expectancy.
