WASHINGTON. Dec. 21. The es
tuhllshmcnt of a United States mil
1tnry government in Santo Oomlngo
v 1s the first step In putting the re
tiblic under the same system of
American . control as has already
been applied in the adjoining repub
lic of Haiti. Which means that the
United States will make its power
over the Dominicans absolute, while
permitting the natives to wear all
the gold lace and go through the
forms of governing themselves.
Abolishment of Army.
The most vital feature of the Hai
tian plan, as distinguished from the
form of American intervention ear
lier exercised in Santo Domingo and
Nicaragua, was the abolishment of
the Haitian army and .the substitu
tion therefor of an American officer
ed and controlled native constabu
lary. The most necessary practical step
toward establishment of the Hai
tian form of government in Santo
Domingo has already been taken in
the suppression of the Dominican
army. . The excuse to do this came
when the army, led by Arias, for
mer minister of war, joined Hen
rique! in rebellion against the pro
visions of the American treaty. Just
now the American marines are in
control of the situation, but it is
stated that steps will be taken im
mediately to create a native constabulary-
Order Filially Restored.
Trouble began In Santo Domingo
last May, when the native army re
belled against the American-recognized
government. President Jimi
nez resigned and Henriquez took bis
place. Undor the treaty, which au
thorized the United States to inter
vene whenever collection of rev
enues to meet the American obliga
tions was interfered with, a column
of 850 marines was sent from Haiti
to Santo Domingo. The Americans
met with sharp opposition from the
rebels, but after several engage
ments, in which a number of Amer
icans were killed, order was restor
'ed. Another feature of the Haitian
agreement, which the United States
will seek to enforce in Santo. Domin
go, is provision for an American en
gineer in charge of public health
work in the- republic. Sanitary con
ditions in Haiti have been material
ly Improved under American con
trol. k

(From the Evening Telegram.)
SALEM. Or., Dec. 20. Pronounc
ing the Central Oregon Irrigation
company "culpable" for the manner
in which it has bandied its project
near Bend, Governor Withycombe,
at a meeting of the state desert land
board today, urged that the. project
be converted into an irrigation dis
trict composed of settlers as soon as
possible. The governor's reprimand
of the company for Its-methods came
immediately after the hoard had de
cided to ask congress for an exten
sion of 10 years on the contract be
tween the government and the state
on the project, and provoked a spir
ited defense of the company by Its
attorney, Jesse Stearns, of Portland.
"With all due respect to Mr.
Stearns and his enterprise, I desire
now to enter a protest," said the gov
ernor, in part. "I have been reading
the report of the public service com
mission In regard to the company's
operation, and I find that it is cul
pable, and that much of the adverse
sentiment against it Is warranted.
"I find that Rtfscoe Howard, man
ager of the company, has drawn $600
a month, but am glad to say it hag
been reduced to 300. I also find

that he received a commission on

member of the Howard company that
aided in the building of the com

three ways, and J feel that the com
pany has brought upon Itself the
present storm raging among the set
tlers. The time has come when the
project should bo formed Into an Ir
rigation district composed of set
tlers, and on a legitimate basis."
Coin puny I'lcknl Up Crab,
"The company, when it embarked
on this project, picked up a crab
that It could not drop," said Attor
ney Htearns In defending the com
pany. "It bad not enough money
to handle It. To handle it required
a man of ability not only In con
struction work, . but to make land
sales, and If you do not believe that
Just watch your Tumalo project. The
company has poured more than $U
500,000 into the project, and while
It has cost dther projects 25 per cent
to make sales. It has only cost our
company 15 per cent. This money
has not come from maintenance, for
the company has put more moneyj
Into the project than It has derived
from maintenance. ' It will come
from no property of the settlers, and
In view of this, I eonslder this
phase of the situation none of their
business."
Telegrams were read from the
Redrdpnd Commercial club, and al
so other communications urging an
extension of the government's con
tract and they also favored tho con
version of the project Into an Irri
gation district. ,
i While the company's equities
will be recognized ' under such a
scheme, the settlers would Have a
controlling voice In the management
of the project.
The contracts which the board de
cided to ask congress for extension
on cover , approximately 120,000 afi
res of land, and more time Is need
ed to reclaim It. -The members of
the board wore ununtmous for an
extension, declaring it would po
tect water rights, and also that they
would not Interfere with forming an
irrigation district. For years the
company has clashed with settlers
and the engineer, and the forma
tion of tho district would dispose
of i all present vexing questions, it
contended. This question, will like
ly pome up for settlement after the
extension is grunted on the contract
