SummaryResumen

The Daily Kennebec Journal reported that former Customs Receiver Walter W. Vick testified that Minister James M. Sullivan improperly attempted to negotiate an unauthorized $500,000 bank loan for the Dominican government. Vick presented a letter from Sullivan to Dominican banks proposing the loan without the sanction of the State Department or the Dominican Congress. The proposed borrowing provoked protests from Dominican legislative leaders until an outbreak of revolution halted the negotiations.

The Daily Kennebec Journal informó que el exreceptor de aduanas Walter W. Vick testificó que el ministro James M. Sullivan intentó indebidamente concertar un préstamo bancario no autorizado de 500.000 dólares para el gobierno dominicano. Vick exhibió una carta dirigida por Sullivan a instituciones bancarias dominicanas en la que planteaba el empréstito sin la aprobación del Departamento de Estado ni del Congreso dominicano. El proyectado crédito suscitó reclamos de los dirigentes legislativos dominicanos hasta que el estallido de la revolución frenó las negociaciones.

Dominican customs, made further

charges against the minister.

That $500,000 Loan

Mr. Vick submitted evidence design

ed to show that Minister Sullivan had

endeavored without the knowledge of

the government at Washington and

without the approval of the Dominican

Congress to pave the way for the ne

gotiation of a loan of $500,000 to be

made to the Dominican government

through banks in the Republic. Ho

asserted that W. W. Smith, secretary

of the legation, first told him of the

proposed loan, and that later a Dom

inican banker showed him a letter

from Minister Sullivan, which was

sent to the three banks in San Do

mingo City seeking to open negotia

tions for the loan.

A copy of this letter was placed in

the record.

Protest Organized

President Bares of the Dominican

chamber of deputies, and a deputy

named Mbscosco organized a protest

against the proposed loan, Mr. Vick

said, and the recent revolution brought

the entire matter to a close

The tramp steamship Riverton

sailed from Portland late Saturday

with 200.000 bushels of grain. The

Zeeland of the White Star-Dominion

Line sailed early Sunday morning an 1

will take several hundred Canadian

recruits for the British Army from

Halifax, her first port of call. Her

cargo consisted of 88.450 bushels oi’

wh^at. 4000 barrels of apples and the

balance flour, oatmeal and provisions.

There seems to be a great demand in

Great Britain for provisions, and the

steamships sailing from Portland are

taking but little general freight.
