Does It Dare Inquire A Day Of Spirited Debate
The Senate adjourned last evening without a definite plan for the next session. Open and secret sessions featured sharp exchanges over publishing executive proceedings and charges against Cromwell. A large body of inquiry was proposed into Santo Domingo protocols and Dominican relations, with further discussions on Japan’s intentions in the Philippines and possible treaty actions left unresolved.

Debts to be collected by force at Santo Domingo ports
The State Department plans to press customs collections at Puerto Plata and Monte Cristi under last year’s arbitration. Possible changes to the collector staff are noted, with Abbott likely replaced by a State Department appointee. The piece discusses European creditor risks and potential friction, referencing the Menroe doctrine and a 1902–1903 context, and mentions Prof Hollander of Johns Hopkins as a possible appointee.
