SummaryResumen

The *Evening star* reported official statements declaring that the United States did not seek permanent dominion over Santo Domingo, but was actively preparing to evacuate its forces following free elections scheduled for mid-September. The statement explained that American policy in Haiti similarly aimed only to establish stability and competent self-governance following decades of revolution. U.S. authorities emphasized that they harbored no territorial ambitions on the island and would welcome the day American troops could safely withdraw.
