How was money transfered (Gold Bullion, Cash, or some other source) to Germany under the Dawes Act?

1. The Dawes Act was a statute of the United States setting aside lands for Indian settlement. The "Dawes Plan," on the other hand was a plan proposed by Senator Dawes to restructure German reparations after WWI. My reading indicates no money was transferred to Germany under the act; but that payments by Germany were reduced & certain income sources of the German state -- such as import tariffs -- were dedicated to its payment. Such International transfers are usually in the form of credits & debits on the books of central government or private banks.
