Action Taken Preliminary to
Establishing American Pro-
teCtorate Over Island.
CONGRESS OF REPUBLIC
CONSIDERING TREATY
Editor Of Leading Newspaper at Port
au Prince Sends Protest to
President Wilson.

Acting under instructions from the
Secretary of State, Mr.. Davis, United
States charge at Port au Prince, has
formally recognized DR.. d'Artiguenave
as the regularly elected president of
the republic of Haiti, and Rear Ad-
miral Caperton, commanding the naval
expeditionary force in control of the
principal ports of the island, has ex-
changed national salutes with the Port
au Prince shore batteries and called,
with his staff, upon President dAr-
tiguenave.
That action, which materially strength
ems the position of the existing gov
ernment, is In line with the intention
of the Washington administration to
conclude treaty by which the United
States will assume a complete protec-
torate over Haiti, supervising her
financial and police administrations.
The treaty is now before the Haitian
congress for ratification. and its nego-
tiation could not be completed without
recognition of the government.
Treaty Approved by d'Artiguenave.
President d'Artiguenave has approved
the treaty, but there appears to be
strenuous opposition to it in the
Haitian congress. Early ratification is
expected by the officials here as a re-
suit of the recognition of the new
president. The treaty Is subject to
ratification by the United States Sem
ate before 1t becomes completely ef-
fective.
Until the convention is acted on Rear
Admiral Caperton. with more than
1000 American bluejackets and ma
situation in the republic and administer
the affairs of all it's custom houses,
The new president was elected by con-
gress after his predecessor had been
killed by revolutionists several weeks
ago.
Opposes q. S. Control.
A plea that the people Of the republic
of Haiti should be heard before the con-
vention which the United States gov
ernment has prepared, be put into effect
is made by Ernest Chauvet, editor-pro-
prietor Of the leading newspaper of Port
au Prince, in letter to President Will
son. He has sent similar letters to all
United States congressman and has re-
quested the Haitian minister to arrange
an interview for him with the Secretary
of State.
1.-The terms of the treaty" says Mr..
Chauvet in his letter to the President,
"are unfair in the extreme and the con-
ditions do not warrant the United States
in forcing upon Haiti a treaty which
so seriously involves it's sovereignty as an
independent republic. l acknowledge that
Haiti is in most urgent need of the help
of the United States in establishing con-
ditions which will result in stabiliZing
its government. The government and the
people realize that their customhouses
have not been properly administered and
wish to effect an arrangement through
which in future its custom houses and its
general finances may be conducted by
bank financed by American capital. and
if possible, overseen by representatives
of the United States government. but
organized under Haitian law. so as to
permit this service being conducted under
the flag Of Haiti"
