CACERES WILL AID TREATY
Morales Sought Its Defeat, Says Do
minican Consul.
NEW YORK. Jan. 5. That the death of
General Rodriguez, who led the Morales
Insurrection In San Domingo, will be the
death blow to the uprising was the opin
ion expressed yesterday by Fablo Flallo.
' Consul-General of Santo Domingo, in this
city.
According to Senor Fiallo, Presidont
Caceres can give far more substantial
aid to the landing treaty between the
United States and Santo Domingo. He
further declared that General Morales in
cited the revolution to defeat the treaty.
Jn discussing the relation of the treaty to
the present political disturbance in the
country, the Consul-General said:
"General Morales special aim was to
mako certain provisions of the treaty the
means of establishing his own personal
power. This explains not only the friction
with the Cabinet, but the mistrust with
which the people generally at first re
garded .article VII of the treaty, by which
the Washington Government was empow
ered to htiD with arms and ammunition
the Domini -tan executive whenever the
latter should require such aid for the re
establishment of order.
"Had the treaty been submitted to tho
United States Senate without any amend
ment to article VII. Morales would not
have gone to the revolutionary party. His
present purpose Is either to defeat the
treaty and bring anarohlstic conditions
that eventually might give him dictatorial
powers, or else provoke American inter
vention. "Happily. President Caceres can give a
far more substantial aid to the treaty
than Morales could. He not only has the
full confidence of the Cabinet and his
party, but has. moreover, the co-operation
of Emiliano Tejera. the Minister of For
eign Affairs, without doubt the most in
fluential man in San Domingo."
The news of the killing of General Rod
riguez In the fighting at Puerto Plata
was a shock to his friends In this city,
where he Jived for some time. He was a
graduate of Fordham College.

liwaco Harbor Improvement Not
Good Commercial Scheme.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Jan. 5. The Secretary of War to
day sent to Congress the report of the
Army engineers on the proposed Improve
ment of Ilwaco harbor, on the Columbia
River. Major Langfltt and other local
engineers who examined this harbor rec
ommend Its improvement to the extent of
an eight-foot channel to the wharves.
This can be accomplished for $39,000. but
it will cost $13,000 a year for maintenance.
They state that the commerce of this port
does not Justify such expenditure, but be
lieve the Government should provide an
adequate channel In order to afford satis
factory water communication with Fort
Canby, located Just beyond Ilwaco.
General Mackenzie, Chief of Engineers,
does not concur in the recommendation of
his subordinates. He takes the position
that the Army engineers are Interested
only In improving waterways in the In
terest of commerce. This Improvement,
being primarily of benefit to the Army,
should be- made at the expense of the
Army. Tills view will be concurred in by
the rJvei: and harbor committee, so. If
Ilwaco harbor Is ever Improved, It must
be by special act of Congress, not by au
thority ol the rlvrr and harbor bill.

Ireland's fate In the prosont election
flcht raises an Interesting problem.
IWhlle the Conservatives are doing their
against the Liberals on the ground of
their home rule tendencies, a tacit agree
ment. It would seem, has been arrived
at between the Liberal and Irish lead
ers to defeat the tactics of the Conserva
tives. Ireland itself remains quiescent.
Michael Davltt. speaking at St. Helens
last night, said:
"Ireland is in a state of angelic polit
ical calm. In no less than 78 out of her
ICC constituencies no Chamberlain nor
any advocate of labor dare intrude his
political nose."
Liberals Oppose Home Ilulc.
"While the Irishmen are thus avoiding
any excitement of public feeling, the
Liberal leaders arc speaking as with one
voice to the .effect that home rule is im
possible In the next Parliament: in fact,
that it is Impossible altogether until the
country has had the opportunity of giv
ing a special mandate on the question. '
Mr. Burrell. president of the Board of
Education at Bristol, and Winston
Churchill, at Manchester, both expressed
this view, Mr. Churchill making this
most interesting announcement on the
question:
"Time has largely vindicated, the views
held by -Mr. Gladstone in 1SS. While
there never was a time like the pres
ent, when the greater mass pf opinion is
arrayed against anything In the nature
of a startling plunge in the Irish policy,
there never was a time when a greater
number of sensible, patriotic people were
prepared to give fair and unprejudiced
consideration to Irish affairs, to admit
that a wrong system of government pre
vails In Ireland, and to approach with
out passloa one of the most difficult but
the most attractive of tho riddles of
British statecraft."
T. P. O'Connor, spenking at Liverpool,
said that the attempts of the Conserva
tives to say that the Issue before the
country was home rule and not the flseul
question was contemptible and dis
honest. Th present abstention of John Red

Dcrcat or Chamberlain Would Help

LONDON. Jan. 6. The .Morning Post
today devotes an entire article to an
effort to point out that the settlement of
tariff relations with Canada will depend
on the result of the general election In
Great Britain. It says:

Pay the maximum and Great Britain the

States will speedily negotiate for reciprocal
treatment. The Issue obvloaMy Is dependent
tlw election. If Mr. -Chamberlain obtains
a mandate to discuss preferential treatment
with the ekRle. neither Germany nor the
UmIcm States will be able to obtain the
privileges of the minimum or preferential
scale no matter what consideration thy
may offer. If. on the other hand. Mr.
Chamberlain, through an overwhelming ma

the Called States and Germany will In the
end obtain what they require.
SHf of the members of the Laurler ad
ministration and some of the newer corpora
tions la Canada which helped the Liberal
war chest are distinctly pro-American, but
neither the pro-American politicians nor th
American companies dare set themselves In
opposition to a people unanimous for prefer
ential treatment. Mr. Chamberlain' defeat,
however, would release, ail these latent forces
In opposition to the imperial Idea and would
s make for a commercial rapprochement

feet again, as well and strong as you used to be.
"You will remember the condition in which the clos

Portsmouth treaty and who precipitated
the riots at Toklo and otherwise. After
