SummaryResumen

The *New Hampshire farmer and weekly union* reported that Captain Knapp assumed control of the Dominican government under instructions formulated with Minister Russell following the overthrow of President Jiminez by General Arias. Because the United States refused to recognize Frederico Enriquez, customs revenues were withheld until American officers began disbursing $600,000 in accumulated export duties on December 2. Secretary Daniels clarified that Dominican courts would continue administering local laws, while reports indicated that 90 percent of local business figures supported the intervention to secure peace.

El *New Hampshire farmer and weekly union* informó que el capitán Knapp asumió la conducción del gobierno dominicano según directrices acordadas con el ministro Russell tras la deposición del presidente Jimenes por el general Arias. Habiéndose negado los Estados Unidos a reconocer a Francisco Henríquez y Carvajal (citado como Frederico Enriquez), los caudales aduaneros permanecieron retenidos hasta que la oficialidad estadounidense inició el 2 de diciembre el desembolso de 600.000 dólares en derechos de exportación acumulados. El secretario Daniels puntualizó que las cortes dominicanas continuarían aplicando el derecho común, mientras que diversas fuentes afirmaban que el 90 por ciento de los empresarios locales acogía la ocupación en aras de la paz.

Minister Russell, recalled from -Santo

Domingo for the purpose, and con

sideration of full reports from the

naval officers on the scene. Captain

Knapp, recently sent to relieve Rear

Admiral Pond in Dominican waters,

carried with him complete instructions

for his task.

Necessity Foreseen.

The necessity for a drastic step has

been ccnsidered since :the overthrow

several months ago of President Jim

inez by Gen. Arias, a strongly anti-

American revolutionist. With Arias

in control the Dominican assembly

elected Frederico Enrtquez president

but the United States refused to rec

ognize the new government and with

held the balance of customs revenues

left after the regular payments of in

terest osn foreign debt. Consequently,

the native officials and employes will

}draw their first pay since the downfall

of Jiminez, when on Dec. 2 the Amer

}ican officers begin to disburse some

$600,000 of accumulated export duties.

Secretary Daniels cxplained today

that the form of rule set by Captain

Knapp did not contemplate any in

fringement of the civil rights or pro

cesses of the native zovernment. The

marines will maintain order and pre

vent revolutionary agitation, but the

municipal and civil laws will still be

administered by Dominican courts.

Captain Knapp was sclected for the

job because of special fitness growing

out of his service on the neutrality

board. His report says that probably

90 per cent.*of the native business

'men and others who desire permanent

peace on the island approve the steps

taken.
