It is supposed that the order has a bearing on the demand for the payment of :ims against the republic of Santo Jomingo. The vessel has sailed. CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING, SHINGTON, March 2i.—President velt to-day came out flatfooted in | his desire to solve, by executive action, > Santo Domingo question, which Senate left unséttled. With a re- port from Minister Dawson that Santo Domingo’s European creditors were willing to keep hands off if an Ameri- can citizen were named to collect and held in trust for the payment of debts 55 per cent of the Dominican customs | revenues, the President to-day said the time had come to act. He called Secre- tary Taft into conference, At the same t Senators Snooner and Lodge and | Attorney-General Moody arrived at the White House. The President told them it was nec- essary to take action on:Dawson's re- port. It was pointed out that the Com- | missioner would do no goed unless the | Morales Government rted him | and saw that he -ac ly obtained | possession of thé custom-hous and |'was'in a posith _cuflect the moneys due on dutiess e The Presidéng’ | 8 that this } | means that the United States Is to | satisfy the Buronean creditof nations {of S » Dominge, and must hold itself in readinéss with warships and marines to sustain Morales’ administration from any overthrow except that of the | votes of the peoble. Dawson has al- rezdy reported that a revolt is feared, but he believes Morales can with- stand it Lodge and Spooner tioned the right of the executive to do this. Senator Spooner has uni- | formly contended {hat the executive | hag no right to enter into any agree- ment with any foreign government without the consent of the Senate. | Here the conference ended. There was | no_decision one wayv or the other, but a decision will be rendered within two or three davs. The President firmly believes he has the right to go ahead with this ques- tion. Despite many official denials, the general impression that it was not in- | tended to Submit the Dominican policy | to the Senate has never worn away | here. | Dawson cables that the Tepresenta- i | tives at San Domingo of .France and Belgium have advised their govern- ments to agree to the proposed re- | ceivership in August. The acquiescence { of these governments would do much to r@move the fear of President Roose- | velt that the Monroe doctrine may be { infringed unon. SAN DOMINGO, Republic of Santo | Domingo, March -A note from American Ministéer Dawson to the | Dominican Government was published | here this afternoon. The paper, which | indicates that the pending Dawson- Sanchez convention, subject to favor- able report by the Committee on For- eign Affairs, has reasonable prospects of heing ratified by the United States Senate in October, has created a good impression and 're-established confi- dence. It may cause the situation to change completely. The proposition of foreign creditors, pending decision by the American Government and the Santo Domingo Improvement Com- pany, it is hoped will be accepted, and prevent difficulties with European Governments.

WASHINGTON, March 27.—It has been decided to await the reception of the exact text of President Castro’s refusal to accept Minister Bowen's ar- Dbitration proposition ‘before proceed- ing further with the negotiations. It is realized that there may be a fair difference of opinion as to whether or not . the Venezuelan response was couched in discourteous language and it may be that at this distance from the seat of negotiations and after the lapse of a few days the words which uppeared to Minister Bowen to have een insolent will admit of a differe construction. v .

The final decision on this important enterprise will reached within two months. The construction work of an exten- sion such as is proposed would involve the building of 1500 miles of track. About $100,000,000 would be expended. The werk probably would begin at S. D., on_.the east side of the i River. Going west, all of the al tonnage-developing princ would be touched and some new ter- { ritory would be opened up. St. Paul enginéers have found a route through the mountains of considerable lower grade average than that of the Great Northern. o= the Northern Pacific. The Western terminus would be at Seattle.

' Witnesses Identify Photo- | graphs and Tell of Plan Laid. Officers on both sides of the bay are satisfied that they have the names of the two men who committed the hold- up at Stege through which $10,000 be- longing to the Central Bank of Oak- |land that was being conveyed to the | bank at Richmond was stolen. John | Zimmerman and Thomas A. Collins, | criminals well known to the police of | San Francisco, are said positively to be the men who committed the rob- Fbery. There was a third man con- nected with the laying of the plan. He | is said to be Charles Henry (alias Mul- cahy), now in the Broadway jail | awaiting transportation to State Pris- | on to serve fourteen years for robbery | committed in this city. | The annéuncement of the names of the suspected men was made in Oak- land yesterday. The men have been under suspicion ever since the robbery was committed and officers have been working unceasingly on the clews that connected them with the erime. The evidence against them is of such a nature as to leave no doubts in the minds of the police that Zimmerman and Collins are the men wanted. Where they are is the only problem now bothéring the detectives. ‘: CLEWS AT RICHMOND. Four days ago the Pinkerton agency | in this eity, which says it was working | en information derived from a elew first supplied by Sheriff Veale of ('on- tra Cesta County, informed Captain of Detectives Burnett of this city that Colling and Zimmerman were the men who had ecommitted the crime at Stege. Captain Burrett at once detailed four men from his office to seareh for the pair. and the hunt for them has been going on unceasingly ever since. Ala- meda County detectives and sheriffs have also been busy in the chase. Either the-two ex-convicts have de- parted many miles from the scene of their crime, or they are well hidden, for no trace of them has been found. It was at Richmond that the clews connecting Zimmerman and Collins with the crime were obtained. The { men had been hanging around that jtown for some time. It was learned Arom several people that they had a plan to get the money that the Oak- land bank sent to the ome-at Rich- mond. They even approached several persons whom they thought would | embark in such a dubious enterprise | to_assist them in the robbery. One of these, it is said, was Henry. His story, so it Is alleged. is that the two men approached him last October and kaid the plan before him. He agreed to . help out, but the execution of the scheme was delayed from time to time until he found himself in jail | on this side of tl | were caused by rious trifles suf- | ficlent to upset the calculations of , careful robbers.
