SummaryResumen

The *Evening Star* reported that the Secretary of State instructed the American consul in Santo Domingo to demand the revocation of a Dominican decree seizing a bridge across the Ozama River owned by American contractor Nat McKay. McKay built the bridge under a twenty-year concession, and the United States intervened after Dominican authorities held him liable for damages caused when a river scow struck the structure.
