SummaryResumen

The *South Bend News-Times* reported that rebel chief Rafael Estrella Ureña entered Santo Domingo to negotiate with President Vásquez and U.S. Minister Charles B. Curtis following the capture of northern and eastern cities by 4,000 insurgent troops. Rebel gunfire around the central plaza and cathedral caused alarm among hotel guests, while government operations ceased. Acting as mediator, Curtis sought a constitutional compromise by appointing a new secretary of the interior who could legally succeed Vásquez.
