[Telegram.]

Santo Domingo, November 16, 1905.

I have received the following note from the Dominican minister for foreign affairs: “Executive power has resolved that the naval officers of the United States may make inspecting visit on board American merchant vessels coming to our ports as soon as anchored and, if necessary, before any other person or authority shall have intervened.”

Dawson.
