Santo Domingo treaty would placed custom houses under US control
The Senate adjourned without decision on a treaty with Santo Domingo. It would have the United States take charge of the island’s custom houses, collect revenues, and hand 55 percent to Santo Domingo creditors while guaranteeing the republic’s territorial integrity. An American officer already heads Monte Christi and Puerto Plata as per arbitration, with two more houses possible. The protocol faced Department concerns, but officers will remain until ratification. An American officer also manages a custom house at Monte Christi under the arbitration award.
