Eads Long Straggle.

The inauguration of,Gen. Vasquez

as president of the Dominican Re

public brings to a successful end the

long struggle of more than eight

years by the people of Santo Domingo

to regain their sovereignty and inde

pendence, which they have contended

was taken away from them by the

United States when their country,

under orders from Washington, was

placed under the control of a large

military force.

After the setting up by the United

States of a military government, the

Dominicans made repeated efforts to

bring about a withdrawal of the

forces. In 1920 Horace G. Knowles,

former American minister, started a

campaign to secure sovereignty for

the Dominicans. Subsequently, the

United States Senate authorized a

special committee to inquire into the

occupation and administration of the

country, and such a committee pro

ceeded to Santo Domingo, setting up

a court of investigation.

The committee’s return to Wash

ington was followed by an agreement

for the withdrawal of the American

forces from the country. The full

and complete sovereignty of Santo

Domingo was restored and, for the

first time in about ten years, an elec

tion was held March 15 last, Gen.

Vasquez being elected president.

There remain in Santo Domingo

about 1,800 marines and officers. The

evacuation has begun and transports

are taking the troops to the United

States as speedily as possible.
