SummaryResumen
Writer David J. Davies argues that the secrecy surrounding the conduct of United States marines in Hayti and San Domingo is lifting, as Major-General George Barnett's letter calling for a full investigation focuses public attention on the occupation. He recounts stories told by marines who served in both republics, including a former steel worker he met at Santiago de los Caballeros who boasted of orders to kill and burn everything in a valley near Port au Prince and of natives being killed for the fun of it.

I can recall the night we stopped at

reported that on the night before a party
