and that Jensen had been convicted in
Denmark of having violated that coun-
try's neutrality in trade with Germany,
the applications for American registry
were held up by the bureau of naviga-
ton pending investigation. The de-

Oreste near Port au Prince.
Theodore Put to Flight.
Immediately after the death Of Gen.
Celestin. a revolution was started by
Gen. Theodore. whereupon the convert.
ed yacht Eagle was sent to Port au
Prince. and Theodore fed to Santo Do
mingo to escape arrest. Gen. Zamor
headed a revolutionary army January

tien was captured by the rebels Gen.
Theodore returned from Santo Domingo
at the head OF small force, met and
was defeated by Gen. Zamor at Co

Gen. Theodore continued his revolu-

week later President Zamor abdicated
and fed to Curacao. in the Danish West

American citizen, is president. Mem
bers OF his family held the only other
OFFICES in the corporation. and at the
time of the applications for registry.
only $1,000 of the stock had been paid

Legal officials Of the Commerce De-

President Wagner Warned.

The bureau of navigation. however.
warned Wagner that If his vessels
sought to engage in European trade
they probably would find their way to
a prize court Wagner said he knew
nothing Of the financial arrangements
made by Jensen and Lair. but said that
if German money had been used 1t
would be repaid by subscription to the
stock Of his company in this country
He also said that some OF the ships
we're to be used in the South American
trade. and insisted that they be regis
tered.
That was the situation that Acting
Secretary Sweet laid before Secretary
Lansing. with a request that the State
Department pass upon the probability
of international complications follow
ing the registry of the ships, now
under various neutral flags. Secretary
Lansing decided that the admission of
the vessels to United States registry
would in no way effect relations with
belligerent countries. and Acting Sec
rotary Sweet will recommend that reg
istry be granted.
