SummaryResumen
The *New-York Tribune* published an interview with Judge Durham, an American attorney and plantation administrator in San Pedro de Macoris, regarding the Dominican Republic's fiscal crisis. Durham recounted providing $12,000 in gold in exchange for Dominican paper currency under President Heureaux to satisfy earlier French demands, and noted local backlash when the American-owned Bass estate refused to donate to a recent indemnity fund. He warned that excessive export taxes and American import duties were ruining Dominican agriculture, while the Improvement Company's monthly government allocation of $60,000 fell far short of public operating costs.
El *New-York Tribune* publicó una entrevista con el juez Durham, un abogado y administrador de plantaciones estadounidense en San Pedro de Macorís, sobre la crisis fiscal dominicana. Durham relató haber facilitado 12.000 dólares en oro a cambio de papel moneda dominicano durante el gobierno de Heureaux para atender exigencias francesas anteriores, y señaló el rechazo local cuando la hacienda Bass, de propiedad estadounidense, se negó a aportar a un fondo de indemnización reciente. Advirtió que los excesivos impuestos de exportación y los aranceles de importación estadounidenses arruinaban la agricultura dominicana, al tiempo que la asignación gubernamental mensual de 60.000 dólares de la Improvement Company resultaba del todo insuficiente para cubrir los gastos de funcionamiento del Estado.

tates at Macoeris and has clalms agalnst the Govern
ment arising out of the currency question. When at
one time the French claim was being pressed the
Jate President called unon Mr. Durham for assistance
in meeting the demands. Mr. Durham knew that a
refusal to meet requests of this sort was usually
followed by a death or a fire in the sugar cane,
and s0 he gave a draft for $12,000 in gold and took
$40,000 of Dominican paper money in exchange. He
has the paper money yet. During the recent ex
citement over the French claim Mr. Durham sub
scribed 3100, Dominican money, to the popular fund,
but the heirs of the Bass estate (American), of
which he is administrator, ecabied to subscribe
nothing, probably thinking that $12,000 gold was
more than their share. This action has been very
unfavorably commented on by the Dominican pa
pers. Judge Durham sald:
“I am one of those proverbial Philadelphia
lawyers, and I do not see a way out of the present
financial difficulties of this Government. All the
cultivated soll is taxed away out of sight by the
export duties here and the import duties of the
United States, and no further taxation is possible.
The improvement company has control of the reve
nues to its loan, and it pays the Government $60,
000 a month on {ts budget, which is not suffictent to
meet current expenses. Now, what is the remedy?
I confess I do not know: popular loans and sub
scriptions will soon exhaust the patriotic spirit of
the people. The foreign capital that came into this
republic came without thought of political Intrigue
