In 1863, Spain had recognized the

independence of the Dominican Re

public and President Grant sent Bab

cock to inquire into the condition of

the country and its resources.

Babcock negotiated the treaty of

annexation, which was ratified by the

Dominican people, but was rejected

by the United. States Senate by a tie

vote.

There followed a long period of dis-.i

turbed politics in Santo Domingo and

at last the United States agreed to;

adjust all foreign obligations of the\

Dominican Republic.

A special United States commis

sioner found in 1906 that half of the

Dominican debt of $20,000,000 was

unjustified.

Violent, revolutionary outbreaks

finally forced the United States to

take a hand and in 1916 the “Mili

tary Government of the United States

in Santo Domingo” was set up.

Peace was soon established and

improvements in finances, education,

transportation and government ma

chinery were carried out. The last

U. S. troops withdrew from the re

public in July, 1924.

WHEN THEY TIE A KNOT, IT'S

TIED.
