bulletin. "Revolution had followed

revolution almost with clocklike reg

ularity. There were assassinations,

there were betrayals, there were con

spiracies, there were wars within &n3

wars without war with Maitl over

boundary' questions and civil war over

the control of the government. Debts

were piled up without thought of the

day of payment or even provisions for

meeting the interest charges.

"So long and so steady was. the

orgy of. revolution, speculation, .left

making and interest-dodging that the

nation's credit grew worse thsn that

of its Individual citizens. Fi-taliy,

the day of reckoning came. Forcisn

warships approached the ports whose

harbors had given refuge to the great

discoverer Columbus and whose cap

ital city contains what undoubtedly

are his ashes, and demanded that tho

claims of their subjects be satined -claims

for money advanced, claims

for property wantonly destroyed and

they demanded it at the point of big

naval guns.

"In a predicament from which they

were powerless to extricate them

selves, the Dominicans were ready

enough to negotiate a treaty turning

over the control of the country's cus

toms to the United States, if. Jn re

turn therfor, the United States would

protect them from angry European

creators and rejuvenate their treas

ury. "And so it was that in 19')3 he

United States undertook to se.-ve as

treasurer of Santo Domingo ar.d to

vouch for her debts. The tar'.! was

quickly revised, the American author

ities urging that duties be laid on lux

uries rather than upon necessities.
