SummaryResumen
*The Indianapolis Journal* reported on the diplomatic dispute arising from French threats to forcibly collect an indemnity from Dominican customs houses pledged to the San Domingo Improvement Company of New York. Headed by Smith Weed, the American company appealed to Secretary of State Walter Q. Gresham, who instructed the American ambassador in Paris to notify the French government that the United States could not view such intervention with indifference. The paper noted that European bondholders and several defaulting Latin American republics were watching the precedent closely.

Encabezada por Smith Weed, la compañía estadounidense recurrió al secretario de Estado Walter Q. Gresham, quien instruyó al embajador estadounidense en París para que notificara al gobierno francés que los Estados Unidos no podían ver dicha intervención con indiferencia. El diario señaló que los tenedores de bonos europeos y varias repúblicas latinoamericanas en cesación de pagos observaban de cerca este precedente.

railroad. In 1892. Westenderp Co. trans
ferred all of their rights to an American
company chartered in New Jersey under
the name of "The San Domingo Improve
ment Companv of New York." the leading
spirit of which was Smith Weed. It is
this company which has now come to the
front in opposition to the execution of the
French programme of a forcible collection
of the indemnity claim by it. Th case is
further complicated by the fact that the
bonds of the Dominican government are
largely held in Holland. Belgium, England,
as well as In the United States and France.
The Dominican government has taken no
direct action in the matter, although the
Dominican charge, Mr. Oil. has accom
panied Mr. Smtth Weed to see Secretary
Gresham. The Secretary has been im
pressed with the justness of Mr. Weed's
claim and about two weeks ago he cabled
to Mr. Eustis, our embassador to France,
and instructed him to Inform the French
government that the United States coull
not look with indifference on Its proposed
action. The incident acquires additional
Importance from the fact that several
of the small republics of Central and
South America have recently defaulted in
the payment of interest on their foreign
debts, mostly held in Europe, and if the
United States is committed t the asser

their creditors in cases like that of San
Domingo, it may be that they will follow
the example of that country and farm out
their revenues to American corporations in
