Tust exactly what happened to the

Jimenez government after this is hard

to state in otticial language, Dut is

sufficiently clear; Its political jugu

lar vein has been severed, its golden

life blood chained. It did not re

sign, it did not revolt; simply faded

and died. To the cabinet officers was

tendered the high and chaste honor

of serving on without pay, but they

unaccountably failed to respond. Pres

ident Jimenez sent a messenger to

Admiral Knapp to explain that his ex

excellency was in a state of financial

need and to request that his salary

for one month be paid. This wat re

fused. President Jimenez then sailed

away and is said to have taken the

lecture platform in other Latin Amer

ican countries and devoted his abili

ties to an exposition of the greedy

and underhand methods by which the

eagle of the north is sinking the

talons of despotism into the vitals ot

free and democratic government in

Santo Domingo.

The present government in Santo

Domingo is based upon a proclama

tion issued by Admiral (then Captain)

Knapp at that time. The essential

statements of this document were

that the United States navy had as

sumed governmental power in the re

public for the good thereof, and, aa a

temporary expedient, with an accent

on the temporary; that neither mu

nicipal nor provincial govefnmentt

would be interfered with; and that

the Dominican judiciary would con

tinue to function. The naval govern

ment also decreed a censorship of the

press, certain portions of which were

entertaining the populace with blood
