Smith M. Weed, who acconiing to Genator Morgen, of Alabama, could fell all about the connection of Santo Doinmgvn affairs of Mrs, Ella Rawls Reader, Lawyer Willlam Neleon and President Roosevelt's Big Stick, was mot in the clty to-day. He tad gone to his home in Plattsburg, N, Y. at fwas sald at this office, and would not ®eturn until late in the weke, Prof, John Bageett Moore, of Colum- Ble Untveretty, who da attomey for the @anto Domingo Improvement Company, of whboh Mr, Weed le President, said to-day: “I (now nothing of Mrs, Reader or ther echames beyond hat I have read in the newspapens It our company had yer come in confilot with her in any ay I think I should have known It, Ut tooks to me as though Mra, Reader, funder the influence of some frievance, | wyal or tmaginary, és aiming all of this | tatter at Mr. Cromwell,” Bonator Morgan is singularly obstinate fm refusing to accept Mr, Cromwell's fngeniously worded denials of Friday and Gaturday last. Instead of impress- ing him, the Cromwellian manifestoes Gave inspired him with a desire to chuckle, He dd a lot of chuckling over the matter yesterday in Washinton, | and between chuckles sald some things. | ‘Among them was: i "There 1s one man who can tell all @bout William Nelson Cromwell, the Readers and the Santo Domingo treaty affair, and that 1s Smith M.

There was Nothing wrong in that. Reader sailed for Banto Domingo to get the treaty, Dut mark this: He knew what the treaty was to contain before he sailed, is counsel was Cromwell, When he arrived in Santo Domingo the treaty was ll ready, All was going smoothly when Banchesz informed him that he had. re- “eelved word from Daweon thet all this must stop, Dawson received orders to hat offect from Washington, Now, how did Washington know what was in that “troaty? “Daweon was also Informed that a oommissioner would sall in two weeks to attend to the matter, The treaty ‘which Morales wanted the Readers to Megotiate was a much better one than ‘we afterward got. It provided that six Commissioners should be appointed, one ‘by each of several governments, to col- Ject the revenues and discharge the debts of the Government, Momles was to sell Bamana Bay to us for a million ¢ Mollars, He was to have a million and @ half out of the revenues to run the Government, and {f that did not suffice he was to disband the standing army | @nd reduce his expenses until a million ‘and a half did cover the expenses, “Now, you see, the treaty left the ad- ministration of the’ finances in the hands of an International commission nd did not concentrate that power tn | the hands of President Roosevelt, Hence !t did not prove attractive in @ome quarters, Her Claims Sustained.
