Unhappy San Domingo Report Sparks Cuba Treaty Debate
Washington February 13 The senate in executive session released the majority and minority reports from the foreign relations committee on the treaty ceding the Isle of Pines to Cuba The minority led by Morgan and Clark argues Americans on the island would be unsafe if turned over to Cuba and that the title was effectively a sale under the Platt amendment and Cuban constitution The report warns that maltreatment could force U S intervention and links the island issue to broader dangers for Cuba. A separate dispatch notes a revolutionary movement near Monte Cristi with Dewey leading troops toward Dejabon, aiming to block elections, while a later cablegram reports an insurrection at Daragon 24 miles south of Monte Cristi with no immediate danger if action is swift.

Bryan resigns Illinois college post over Carnegie funds
William J. Bryan resigns as chairman of the Illinois college board of trustees after a November vote accepted gifts from Andrew Carnegie. The resignation, written in Hongkong on Dec. 18 and received by mail, cites fear the college would ally with plutocracy and that accepting Carnegie money would undermine teaching of economic truth. The dispute began last June with Bryan opposing gifts from wealthy donors, leading to a November board decision allowing acceptance under certain conditions.
