SummaryResumen

The *Evening journal* recounted the service of Private Hogan of the Fourth Regiment of Marines, who deployed to Santo Domingo aboard the *Tennessee* to quell civil rebellion. Hogan took part in a June 8 skirmish in which one marine was wounded and an estimated sixty insurgents were killed or wounded, and he later observed the wreck of the *Memphis*. He described Dominican rebels as poorly organized, barefoot forces who frequently removed front rifle sights and relied on sniping tactics against American troops.

El *Evening journal* relató la actuación del soldado raso Hogan, perteneciente al Cuarto Regimiento de Infantería de Marina, quien fue enviado a Santo Domingo en el *Tennessee* para sofocar la rebelión interna. Hogan intervino en un combate el 8 de junio en el que un infante de marina fue herido y se calculó en sesenta los insurgentes muertos o heridos, presenciando tiempo después el naufragio del crucero *Memphis*. Describió a los alzados dominicanos como combatientes descalzos y de escasa disciplina militar, que solían retirar el punto de mira de sus fusiles y hostigar con francotiradores a las tropas estadounidenses.
